All Chapters of When Yesterday Came Back: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Once the call connected, Alia scoffed.“Did you call me several times just to remind me about our trip to the municipal office to finalize our divorce?”Instead of responding to her sarcasm, Jasper spoke in his usual calm tone.“I’ll be leaving for a business trip abroad for a week. I won’t be able to go with you to the municipal office. Let’s finalize the divorce once I get back.”“Okay,” she replied simply.Before, whenever Jasper mentioned going on a business trip, she would always remind him to be careful, to eat properly, and to call her once he landed safely. But now…I can’t believe how stupid I was back then, she thought bitterly. All those times I called to check on him — to make sure he was eating, resting — Rhea was with him all along during those business trips.Silence lingered on both sides until Jasper finally spoke again.“I’ll come home early, so pack my things for me,” he said in a low voice.“I’ll call Rhea to pack for you,” she answered flatly.Jasper’s patience, w

Alia and Zayn continued browsing the cars in the showroom. She could easily afford luxury vehicles with the fortune Nathan had given her, but she wasn’t interested in extravagance. All she wanted was a practical car for daily use—something reliable for her and Zayn to get around.As they walked, she noticed Zayn looking bored, his eyes half-closed. She could sense his tiredness. With that in mind, she casually picked up an affordable Volkswagen that happened to be on sale that day. She didn’t care about its speed or horsepower—as long as it was easy to drive and low-maintenance, it would do.She was about to call the dealer when a familiar, magnetic voice reached her from behind. Even before turning, she recognized the scent—strong cedarwood with a subtle hint of peppermint.Alia turned to face the man. She wasn’t surprised to see him there, yet a flicker of puzzlement crossed her mind. Why did they keep running into each other?It must just be a coincidence, she thought. I must be go

Now that the two troublemakers were finally out of sight, Knight shifted his gaze toward John Ramirez and Philip. With a single, sharp look, he flicked his eyes toward Alia.No words needed. The two understood instantly.They straightened their backs and moved.Mr. Ramirez approached Alia first, bowing slightly before speaking in a polite, businesslike tone.“Hello, Miss. Welcome to our dealership. Do you have a preferred car in mind, or is there one in our showroom that caught your eye?”He was unusually enthusiastic today—but he had to be. He was summoned from his office specifically to assist this woman. And if he failed to satisfy her, Knight’s wrath awaited him.She might be Mr. Silvercrest’s woman, he thought. I better make sure she leaves here with nothing but praise.Alia blinked, confused as to why the general manager suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She hadn’t even asked for assistance. After dealing with Kristina and Rhea’s constant harassment, she didn’t expect help at al

He added her son’s name almost cautiously, as if afraid she’d turn him down if the invitation sounded too personal.Alia was surprised by his invitation. She thought about it for a moment and didn’t see anything wrong with accepting—especially since Zayn would be with them. She wouldn’t feel awkward that way.“Sure, we’ll go,” she agreed.Besides, she still owed Knight for saving her.Knight was secretly pleased when she accepted. But keeping his usual unreadable expression, he simply said, “Then I’ll come and pick you up later.”“No need for that. I’ll give you my contacts so you can just call me and tell me where we’ll meet tonight.”He wanted to insist on picking her up, but since she rejected the offer this time, he didn’t push it. After all, he still gained something—her contact information.“Alright,” he replied.They exchanged numbers and even sent each other a quick Hello and Hi to make sure they could both send and receive messages properly.Just then, perfect timing, John Ra

They walked back inside the restaurant together, and a staff member escorted them to the second floor.On the second floor, there was a wide terrace with a single table set for two. It was surrounded by lush greenery and two kinds of roses—white and red—that gave the space a soft, romantic atmosphere. Alia couldn’t help but feel in awe the longer she looked around.They sat at their table. Knight gently escorted her to her seat before taking his own.A waiter approached and handed them the menu. Knight didn’t take one, letting Alia decide.She looked at the menu, then at him.“Aren’t you going to order?” she asked.“Choose what you like. I’ll have it as well,” he said.She nodded and looked back at the menu. But after a few seconds, she still didn’t know what to order, afraid he might not like whatever she chose.Knight noticed her hesitation. “We can let the chef surprise us if you don’t know what to eat.”Alia looked up, surprised. “Is that really alright?”“Of course,” he said, tak
