Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 601 - Bab 610

Rebecca's hands paused. She didn't even dare to look up as a cold sweat broke out on her back. She thought, "How did he come out of the kitchen so silently?"She pursed her lips and slowly sat up from the sofa. She pretended like nothing had happened. "I was a bit bored, so I thought of finding something to pass the time."Maxwell chuckled and didn't respond to her words. Rebecca wasn't sure if he believed her half-hearted explanation.He placed a plate of fresh-cut fruit on the coffee table, went to wash his hands, and then said gently, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, Becca."Bending down, he pulled the plate of neatly cut fruit toward Rebecca. "Have something to eat. The room was just cleaned today, and it hasn't been stocked with food yet. If you're hungry, make do with this for now."The fruits were seasonal produce from Fairport, and Maxwell was considerate enough to cut them into pieces and provide her with a fork.Despite her love for fruits, Rebecca wasn't in the mood to

Ryan was still dispelling the fear in his heart. As he heard Daniel calling him, he scanned the surroundings of the courtyard. After a moment, he tentatively suggested, "Maybe we could just follow our instincts?" Daniel was again speechless. Not bothering with Ryan anymore, Daniel took the first step. Having walked through this area upon his arrival, Daniel had some vague impressions. If needed, he could mark some landmarks or notable objects along the way to backtrack if they took the wrong path.As for Ryan, Daniel had already given up on him. He seemed unreliable. Ryan protested again. The inside of this building was intricately complex. If it weren't for that lunatic Maxwell forcing him to return and share a property with the Jenkins family last year, he would never have set foot in a place like this.Some of the Jenkins family's businesses were discreet, so the trade locations were not easily noticeable. This shabby corridor community, with its chaotic atmosphere, facilita

On the outside, it seemed like Daniel was kindly suggesting that David visit Ellen in the hospital. However, Daniel was actually blaming David for what happened to Rebecca. Not to mention, having an outsider like Ryan beat David's man on David's former turf was nothing short of an insult. Unfortunately, David was just a powerless man now. After forsaking the Winston family and focusing on growing his power in Seardale, David was practically powerless in Fairport. In the past, his arrogance and confidence only existed because he had strong support. Now that it was gone, he could no longer act so recklessly here. David probably never imagined himself being in such a sorry state. He was being silenced by a loser. And the worst part? He couldn't refute what Daniel said since it was true. Besides the fact that he was partially to blame for Rebecca's current situation, he also had to admit that he arrived later than Daniel. Still, just leaving like this would leave a bitter tas

Two pairs of eyes looked his way as soon as his words were spoken.How idiotic could those two be to volunteer information on their own?Ryan shrugged. He was completely clean. There was no need for him to continue putting on a show.The other person on the line also began explaining things."It's really not a big deal. I just wanted to let Ryan know that Bex will be fine here with me. I'll take good care of her. I'll make sure she gets back safely once I've settled everything on my side. Please tell him to stop worrying."Stop worrying?Stop worrying my foot!Sam, who had been listening on the sidelines, had almost cursed out loud.How could he stop worrying when his sister was staying alone with a man who had coveted her?But Sam hadn't given it much thought.Even though that man was a scoundrel, Sam could still recall that he was rather polite and respectful toward Becca. At the very least, he wouldn't do anything to her that she didn't want.Despite this, Sam was still f

David's once high and mighty expression darkened like coal as someone kicked him out with a broom. The person even yelled a series of curses while shooing him out of the area. It was a rare scene.Ryan, who lived for the drama, instantly looked over. Daniel and Sam were sitting beside him. Even they couldn't help turning their heads to see what was happening. Likewise, everyone's eyes snapped toward the commotion. Nobody could tell what had happened because the commotion occurred a distance away. They could only see David's dimming expression as he was forced to leave. As for why that happened, nobody knew."Let's eat first. We'll find out what happened soon enough," Ryan stated. The food trucks operated through self-service. Ryan grabbed two plates of ham and cheese stuffed mushrooms for Daniel and Sam. Then, he got himself a glass of eggnog, sipped it, and headed off to get some food for himself.Daniel and Sam didn't quite understand what Ryan meant by that. After all, Da
