Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 751 - Bab 760

"What's up? Did I catch you off guard by showing up? Thought I was here to give you a good talking to?" The manager chuckled at Simon's reaction and couldn't resist cracking a joke. He had a good understanding of the players on the team. He understood that each of them had their quirks. After all, they weren't saints, and no one was perfect. Fortunately, the players on their team didn't have any major personal issues, so there wouldn't be significant damage to their reputation. Conversely, as he browsed through social media and observed streamers or players from other esports clubs dealing with their tumultuous personal lives, the mere thought of it gave him a headache. These young individuals appeared to be more unrestrained than the middle-aged ones, and they didn't seem to fear the consequences either. However, as long as they weren't breaking the law, he saw no reason to comment on their affairs. His only concern was that his players stayed out of trouble. Having alre

Rebecca was recalling the nightmare she had just experienced. Even though there were no visible images from the dream, vivid scenes unfolded in her mind at that moment. The crashing waves at the pier echoed loudly, and the lighthouse beam pierced through the darkness as it swung around. What was most terrifying was the boundless deep sea and the fear of sinking as her feet could not reach the bottom. Rebecca furrowed her brows involuntarily, but her curiosity quickly waned. She was reluctant to dwell on the past. Taking another sip of her latte, Rebecca pretended as if she hadn't been lost in thought earlier. She turned to Daniel with a smile and remarked, "Being able to control one's curiosity is a sign of greater intelligence. No wonder you’ve achieved so much, Mr. Winston." Her playful smile dispelled any lingering concern in Daniel's heart. He chuckled lightly and expressed a hint of helplessness. "You flatter me, Becca." Daniel suddenly realized that the formal a

Rebecca's eyes widened as she gazed at the message. Swiftly bringing her phone closer, she carefully read the message from Alex. Instead of a period or ellipsis, it was a clear and straightforward "Sure." Rebecca blinked and copied the message. After confirming that Alex had indeed sent the message and ensuring he hadn't retracted it, she enthusiastically replied with a question. Becca: "Alex, am I understanding this correctly? Are you really confessing? You're not joking, right? You're not just fooling around with me?" AlmightyAlex: "....." A long string of ellipses conveyed Alex's frustration. He followed it up with a voice message, and he sounded somewhat annoyed. "You little troublemaker, do I look like someone who would joke about my lifelong decision? I'm confessing to Carissa, not to you. What do you mean by fooling around with you? It has nothing to do with you. Stop messing around." Despite the scolding, Rebecca continued to laugh cheekily. Becca: "Of cou

"You don't know? You're telling me you've got no idea where that money in your account came from?" Before the police or Alex could react, the rest of the team couldn't contain themselves and bombarded Simon with questions. They stared in disbelief at Simon, their teammate with whom they had shared countless moments. It was tough for them to accept that Simon was involved in fixing matches for money. Shock and astonishment played out on everyone's face except Terry. No one could believe it. When they signed up with CalX, they went through a thorough background check. Throughout the league, it was common knowledge that CalX had the most stringent entry standards. It wasn't just about skills and game awareness; personal integrity had to be assured. Unlike other teams where one could get in as long as they had the skills and passed the training, CalX was strict in their selection process. Yet, here they were, faced with a teammate who had become a disgrace to the entire lea

Upon hearing Carissa's words, Alex let out a light chuckle, and his demeanor became lazy. "Ms. Stevens, I've already reached out to you online with my inquiry. If I were to face rejection, it would be a topic of embarrassment all over the internet. So, why should I be concerned about a bit of embarrassment in front of my family?" Carissa glanced at his smile. A spontaneous smile appeared on her lips too. "And what if I were to agree?" Rising from his chair, Alex adopted a respectful tone. "If you agree, Ms. Stevens, it would be my honor. And as for them ..." His gaze shifted toward the curious Rebecca, and a smile broke across his face. "They would be just as happy as I am." Indeed, Rebecca's smile was almost stretching to her ears. Who would have thought that the rumored couple would become a reality? In the past, she couldn't comprehend those who shipped couples, especially considering that many so-called 'sweet moments' seemed forced. It was often just regular friends
