Yearning for Her Return のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

When Rebecca saw the man standing in front of her, she smiled widely. "Ethan! What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of being recognized and mobbed by your fans?"Ethan had clearly disguised himself by stuffing his shirt so that his broad figure appeared plumper. He wore a tousled wig that looked like it hadn't been washed in days. For what it was worth, he looked like a regular office worker who had been working overtime for several days. Even so, Rebecca recognized him instantly, and she had no doubts that his fans would too. Ethan looked unconcerned as he settled into the seat across her and sipped his coffee. "I heard from Sam that you came here to have cake. It's been an hour, so I came to check on you," he said, avoiding her other question. His clear voice didn't suit his current appearance at all."I was going to head back after I finished eating, but I got too engrossed with my phone," Rebecca replied apologetically. If she kept looking at her phone at home, Sam would n

"Am I supposed to believe you?" Daniel's voice was cold.He was expecting to meet Sylvia. Even if she refused to continue working with the Winston Group, he still wanted to know why. He was willing to apologize to her if he had offended her in any way while they were working together or even express his gratitude for her help three years ago. He never expected to see Rebecca. At that moment, his heart was heavy.Rebecca hadn't expected that Daniel wouldn't believe her either, but she could see where he was coming from. Sylvia had signed an exclusive contract with the Johnsons, which meant they were close; Rebecca knew Sam well, whose company was also working with Sylvia, so it was highly probable that she knew Slyvia through him. With that, it wouldn't be impossible for her to pretend to be Sylvia just to make a fool of him. Even so, it was still amusing. Rebecca smiled. "Why are you so sure that I'm pretending to be Sylvia? Why won't you believe that I'm really her? Daniel, ar

Daniel was non-responsive.He leaned heavily against Rebecca's shoulder, his head burrowed into her neck. His warm breath paralyzed Rebecca. She would've collapsed under his weight if it weren't for the wall behind her. Gritting her teeth, she pushed him upright so that she could stand properly. "Daniel?" She peered up at him. "What's wrong with you? Can you hear me?""It hurts …" Daniel mumbled in a low voice. Rebecca could feel his damp forehead against her shoulder. He looked like he was in pain, trapped in a nightmare that was pulling him into the abyss. He clung to Rebecca so tightly that it seemed as if he was trying to keep himself from drowning.Rebecca couldn't move. She felt as if she was trapped by his aura. His breath warmed her shoulder as he continued to mumble into her ear, "Don't … don't leave me …"Rebecca curled her fists lightly and closed her eyes.She could just push him away. It wouldn't be any of her business if he died here today. It would finally free he

Rebecca turned toward the sound. Barefoot and disheveled, she looked like the very picture of poignant beauty, a damsel in distress. The fact that she didn't realize how alluring she looked only fueled Daniel's anger even further, or maybe it was just because Sam was with her. "I mean, I don't mind if you really want to pay for my shoes," Rebecca said, not understanding the source of his anger. She brushed her hair behind her ears, looking bemused. "You could go to the mall and get me a pair right now. I really don't care as long as they're new."Sam, on the other hand, could see where the animosity came from. He glanced at Rebecca, then took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. "In that case, Mr. Winston, get going. You wouldn't want Rebecca to be barefoot when we leave, would you?" He gave Daniel a look. When their eyes met, sparks flew. "With you? She's my wife. She's not going anywhere with you," Daniel snorted coldly.Everyone around them had their ears perked, but none

However, Rebecca wasn't at all surprised. Even before the true nature of her relationship with Ethan was made public, she had already anticipated that the Browns would come looking for her. She just didn't expect it to take so many days for them to call her. She was eager to answer the phone. After letting the phone ring out for a while, she picked it up slowly. She answered the call without saying a word. Karen's voice could be heard on the other end of the line. "Becca, it's Mom. What have you been busy with lately?" she asked.Rebecca was eating at that moment. Sam had bought her a cake to appease her on the way back. She cut out a small bite with a fork and put it into her mouth. She knew it wouldn't do any good to refuse an olive branch when it was extended to her."Mrs. Brown, if I'm not mistaken, you asked me to stop calling you 'Mom' ten years ago. Let's skip all the niceties, shall we? What do you think I'm busy with these days? I'm obviously busy trying to get my divorc
