Love Me Again,My Darling のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Seeing them entering the restaurant,Daphne quickly covered her face with the menu and cursed at her bad luck.But Asher,oblivious of her panic,called out to his friend.“Yo!Jacob!”Jacob grinned and was about to say hello but then his eyes fell on the girl sitting across Asher,the menu was doing so little to cover her face.His smile disappeared.Frowning,he walked up to Asher’s table.“What are you two doing here?”He asked,unable to hide his annoyance at the fact that Daphne was having dinner with another man.“My father is helping Daphne with a case.We met by chance at the front of his office and I offered to treat her to dinner.”Asher explained.Hearing this,Jacob’s expression darkened even more.He knew that Asher had a fondness for Daphne.“Why would you offer to treat her to dinner?Everyone knows you rarely take women out.”Jacob sneered.Lucia who has been standing beside Jacob the whole time felt uncomfortable by his mood.“Jacob,do you know this woman?”She asked,tentatively.As

Nora stared at her stepdaughter with pity.After a while,she made up her mind and gave a bank card to Daphne.Jacob hadn’t been able to freeze this account because it had been for her retirement savings.Daphne held the card in her hand and burst into tears.“I’ll take it but just for now.I’ll replace this morning and I’ll make our lives better again.”Daphne promised,tearfully.She felt she had brought bad luck to her family for ever being involved with Jacob.“I have a small apartment in the suburb.Though it’s old and small,I can live there for now.Just focus on winning your father’s case,okay?”Nora said.Daphne sniffed and nodded.When Nora was discharged from the hospital,Daphne took her to the apartment she rented after they lost their house.It was a 60-square-meter two bedroom unit that was located in an old,dilapidated apartment complex.The decoration was simple and shabby,a stark contrast to their former comfortable residence.Nora looked around and settled down on the lumpy so

Daphne took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.She said to Lucia, "Please don't come to me anymore. I'm not married, and I don't know anything about weddings. Besides, we're not really friends."Lucia, however, was always spoiled growing up and had never been refused.So she kept pestering Daphne, hell-bent on figuring out why the pretty lady didn't like her.Daphne ignored her and walked into an alleyway, but Lucia still followed her.Daphne rubbed her aching temples, realizing that Lucia wouldn't leave her alone. With clenched fists, she turned around, fully intending to drive Lucia away, but the next second, her eyes went as wide as saucers.A man crept up behind Lucia and knocked her out from behind."It's her! I'm sure this is Jacob’s fiancee! Now we can ransom her off! Jacob will definitely give us the money if we hold his fiancee hostage!""Wait, there's another woman here. Get her! Don't let her get away! Maybe she's also valuable."Before Daphne could scream, a sa

Daphne was on a bad mood to notice the secretary’s presence but when the delicious aroma of the food wafted her nostrils,her stomach grumbled.She thanked the secretary and excitedly opened the food container.Daphne salivated seeing the delicious looking chicken soup.She glanced at Griffin and felt touched.Even if he was doing this to keep a close eye on her or not,she still felt so grateful to be taken care off.Staring at him,Daphne thanked him from the bottom of her heart.“Mr Reyes,thank you for everything you’ve done for me today.”With his long legs crossed,Griffin was busy dealing with work on his phone.Without looking up,he said.“You’re welcome,Miss Howard.But I can’t really accept your gratitude,afterall,you think I did this all because I have an ulterior motive.”Daphne paused,the spoon of soup hanging midair.She lowered her head.”I’m sorry for saying that.”She apologized,humbly.Griffin tore his gaze away from his phone and looked at her.Daphne stared back,their eyes l

Jacob drove to an antiquated apartment complex.He had once called this place home for a span of two years and the security guard still retained vivid recollections of him. As his vehicle rolled into the premises, the guard extended a warm welcome, exclaiming, "Sir Jacob,welcome.”Jacob acknowledged the greeting with a stoic nod.Ascending the stairs, he unlocked a door, revealing an apartment spanning approximately 80 square meters, brimming with cherished memories of his time with Daphne.During that period, his company teetered on the precipice of bankruptcy. The members of his family dwelled within this aging apartment, where Jacob’s mother would haggle at the market in pursuit of food that was about to go bad—because that was all they could afford.Times were arduous indeed.Considering his sense of self-worth, Daphne would frequently grace his presence, preparing meals for him and discreetly offering him financial assistance.What a naive woman she was!She believed Jacob loved
