บททั้งหมดของ Yearning for Her Return : บทที่ 671 - บทที่ 680

Back in Crechester, during their drive earlier, Rebecca didn't bring up the online buzz to Alex. Now, seated in the restaurant, the rich aroma of hotpot wafted through the air, and the rumbling in their stomachs prompted them to momentarily set aside everything and focus on ordering their meal. Fruits and beverages were laid out for self-service. With the broth selected and the menu placed, Rebecca efficiently made her way to the self-service area to grab some food and drinks and left Alex alone at the table. As Alex looked up, a desire to express something flickered across his face, though he hesitated. His expression bore a subtle amusement. However, it was destined that he would have to wait until she returned, especially when fans from the nearby table recognized him and eagerly approached him for autographs and photos. Alex didn't decline and courteously responded to each fan. It wasn't until he noticed Rebecca approaching with fruits in one hand and a tray with two drin

After ending the call, David stood up from his chair and gazed out of the window at the night view. Although the president's office of the Winston Group wasn't on the top floor, the height still offered a decent view of Fairport as the city lights illuminated the night. David's mind drifted back to a night many years ago. Once, deep in the mountains, he had stargazed with Rebecca. Like tonight, a bright crescent moon adorned the sky, with only a distant star visible while others hid in the darkness. However, his current state of mind starkly contrasted with that serene night. Back then, the more he gazed, the calmer he felt. Now, without Rebecca by his side, the more he gazed, the more disturbed and uneasy he became. Especially when his thoughts delved into the contents of that email, he felt a sense of things slipping beyond his control. It was like trying to grasp sand; the harder he squeezed, the more slipped through his fingers. Regrettably, he had never taken a mom

Rebecca didn't dwell on this matter. In the past two days, whenever her mind tried to ponder over these things, she would feel a throbbing headache. Other matters were fine, but anything related to David and her past would inevitably make her feel uncomfortable.Moreover, she had come out to have fun. So, why bother thinking about those annoying things? If she was out to have fun, she wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. Thinking about those matters after coming out to play was no different from working overtime on the weekend. It was inefficient.After Rebecca thought it through, she put all these messy thoughts behind her. They had arrived at the hotel by now. The car stopped, and she followed Alex to get the various strange things they had bought in the evening.She didn't remember whether they were expensive or cheap. She left everything that needed to be brought back with them in the car. This way, they wouldn't have to carry things down from the hotel room later. The food and it

After hanging up the phone, Alex turned to his former teammates with a smile. "I won't be able to have lunch with you guys. I need to pick up my little sister first. And going back and forth is too troublesome. You guys go ahead and have your meal. Remember to analyze the games in the afternoon.""Picking up your little sister? Are there still people who call their girlfriend that in such a cliché way in this day and age?" Before anyone from the CalX responded, a sarcastic remark came from behind.Alex followed the sound and met the gaze of none other than the person he had bumped into in the hotel corridor last night–BlueMushroom.The smile on Alex's face faded into a cold expression. Ignoring the meddling person, he nodded at his friends from the CalX. "I'll be taking my leave."The CalX members nodded and ignored BlueMushroom's comment. "See you tonight, Alex."Although they also wanted to meet Alex's sister, Alex had already made it clear that he found it troublesome to fetch

Rebecca chuckled at Alex's defeated expression before she elegantly continued with her meal. She refrained from bringing up the topic again. She only planned to playfully tease him. Naturally, she wouldn't press further and make things awkward.Alex also figured it out. The cheeky Rebecca would go to great lengths to gain an advantage even if she suffered a little setback. He reckoned that she still had the subway station incident from yesterday on her mind.Not wanting to continue the banter with her, Alex chuckled helplessly and continued to grill the meat for her.When they had eaten enough, Alex said to Rebecca, "Are you planning to go to the venue to watch the match in the afternoon, or do you want to go out for some fun?"Rebecca was almost full. But she was getting tired of the meat and decided to have some fruits provided by the restaurant instead. Hearing Alex's words, she looked up and asked, "You aren't staying with me this afternoon?"If they went out together, she wou
