Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 831 - Bab 840

The environment here, unlike the commercial streets that Rebecca explored last night, had a distinctive local architectural style. Extending as far as the eye could see was a massive square, adorned with numerous white doves near the fountain. Street artists diligently worked on their paintings, and musicians played an array of musical instruments. People casually rested or immersed themselves in the performances. After each performance, children eagerly tossed coins to the musicians while anticipating the next captivating performance. Beyond the colossal circular fountain stood an iconic cathedral. The central clock's hands moved slowly, and the air carried the distant sounds of a wedding march. Perhaps a priest inside the cathedral was officiating a marriage ceremony. Rebecca felt like she had outgrown the age of romantic fantasies about love. Or maybe, having understood various aspects of life, she had lost interest in love. However, in such an atmosphere, listening to

After landing, Rebecca felt a bit uneasy and hesitated before disembarking from the plane. Reflecting on the past few days of her "journey," she had been on edge. She had even contemplated the worst-case scenario of disappearing from the world. Of course, she had also optimistically considered the possibility of returning home. In her dreams, she envisioned herself as a character from a blockbuster film. She imagined being rescued by superheroes and safely landing, rushing into her parents' arms, and reverting to being a child. However, she had not imagined returning home in this way—having to cooperate with everyone to keep it a secret from her parents. She had to resort to well-intentioned lies to try to alleviate her parents' concerns and ensure their well-being. As she followed Caleb out of the plane and stepped onto the rooftop with a view of Rookfort, Rebecca felt it was still somewhat surreal. Everything seemed like a dream. Even when she saw Albert, her biological

After talking to Rebecca, David turned the camera back to Susan.He smiled and said, "Susan, you agree, right?"Susan twisted the corner of her mouth. She attempted to force a smile yet found it incredibly difficult.She could only try her best to keep her composure. She said to Rebecca, "Mr. Winston is very handsome. He… he was also very polite to me. I am not scared at all."Even a fool could tell from her unnatural tone that she was just being polite.Suddenly, Rebecca recalled a phenomenon she had read about on the internet: Stockholm syndrome.Unfortunately, this was not a time to joke around.Rebecca smiled and said, "As long as you're not scared, Susan, that's good. It was his mistake not to inform you before picking you up from the airport. When he comes to Rookfort, I will make him apologize to me, and I will punish him on your behalf."Susan forced another smile.Rebecca no longer wanted to play this game with Susan. So, she turned back to David."So, David, when ar

In the evening, Rebecca went to visit the Gibsons with Albert.She briefly mentioned David, but both Albert and Caleb told her not to worry.It wasn't because she was worried about being taken away by that crazy man again.It was because now he had a hostage, so she was worried that innocent people might get hurt.But never mind; they would deal with any difficulties as they came.For now, her priority was to visit the Gibsons.Albert had prepared the gift in advance.Rebecca initially planned to go out in the afternoon and see if she could find something the Gibsons would like.After all, she had returned in a hurry, and all the things she had prepared were in Fairport. Many of them were still being shipped as well.Hence, she had no choice but to seek last-minute solutions.But with the help of her brother, everything had already been prepared.There was no need to worry. She could rely on her brother.The Gibsons family had known that Rebecca would be coming back and had

As he was talking, James glanced at Rebecca and almost burst into laughter."I was joking with you, Becca. It seems like you indeed haven't set foot in the kitchen for years. No worries. Skills don't simply go away. If you like it, you can occasionally cook for your family. It won't be too burdensome."As he spoke, he asked Rebecca and Albert to take their seats at the table.Serena, who was carrying the dishes from the kitchen, saw it and immediately got annoyed.She let out a slight grunt as she put the dishes on the table before sitting down.James frowned. "Why are you sitting down? Aren't they still warming up the dishes in the kitchen?"Serena stood her ground and said, "Grandpa, I am your granddaughter-in-law, so I'm a guest too. Guests shouldn't help with the cooking. Don't you think so?"Both of them were James' granddaughters. So, why was it that Rebecca's hands were soft and fair like polished jade?Why were Serena's hands covered in the greasy smell of kitchen fumes
