Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 245
Yosef descended the stairs, got into his car, and said, "Back to East Coast."The driver nodded and drove off.The driver caught Yosef's reflection in the rearview mirror. There was a small smile on his face that was not there before. His time with Zara upstairs must have gone well.The driver, feeling brave, asked, "Mr. Webb, will Ms. Lowry be coming back to work with you soon? I don't mean anything by it, but Ms. Lowry's the best at reporting work to you while in the car. It seems like you get so much more done with her around."Yosef did not usually talk about this stuff with the driver, but he was in such a good mood that he said, "Of course! I trained her myself."She was the perfect secretary, just the way he liked.Why would he let someone else have her?They were approaching East Coast, a three-story house. That was when the driver spotted someone at the gate.It was a woman.She was under the roof, but the wind was blowing the rain all over her. She was soaked and shi

Zara minimized the call window and clicked on the new message.It was a gossip magazine from Cecil, all about the juicy bits of the business world.The latest scoop? Yosef showed up at a business event with a lady friend, treating her like a queen. They were super cozy, and someone even snapped a photo of Yosef fixing her clothes.Yosef had always played Mr. Clean and Cool. This flashy move had gotten everyone whispering. Who was the mystery woman? His secretary? His girlfriend?Neither Yosef nor Azure Cloud Group were answering the questions.Zara and Cecil? They would recognize the woman anywhere.Cecil was fuming. "Beatrice, that lowlife, could wrap herself in the fanciest dress and still reek of trash! That gown is better off rotting than being worn by her!" Zara clicked out of the tab, unfazed.It looked like they had made up.All her scheming, all for nothing.Cecil had been spot on. Zara had thought she knew just how bad Yosef could be, and he had surprised her again.

"We're going to Mr. Rayleigh's private kitchen," Yosef said in a stern tone. Why had they not arrived yet?Zara quickly thought back. "You mean the Mr. Rayleigh who makes an awesome Beef Wellington, the one you mentioned?""Yep."Zara could not hold back. "Why are you taking this road to get to Mr. Rayleigh's shop? You like going in circles, don't you?"Yosef realized she was teasing him, and he was not pleased.Anyone would be grumpy after walking the wrong way on a muddy road for a while. Zara said, "You should've told me earlier that we were going to Mr. Rayleigh's shop. It isn't this way. I would've shown you the right path.""I'm going the wrong way?" Yosef stopped in his tracks.Duh.They headed back on the muddy path. Zara was so annoyed. She glanced down at her feet and 'accidentally' kicked a stone while stepping over a puddle.The stone caused the water to splash up, getting Yosef's pants dirty.Yosef felt the splash on his socks too. The mud seeped through and touc

Without showing any emotion, Zara responded, "Mr. Webb, my mom's surgery is tomorrow morning.""So, you're not planning to sleep tonight?" Yosef scooped up some chowder into a bowl."I can sleep at the hospital."Zara's gaze lingered on the chowder that was clearly made with care. She spoke softly."I'm just really worried about my mom right now. I want to be as close to her as possible," Zara said, her voice trembling a little. "The doctor said she has to make it through the night before they can do the surgery. I'm scared she... might not last that long. That's why I can't leave her, not even for a minute."Yosef watched her, noticing how her long eyelashes seemed to hide the worry in her eyes."Making it to the surgery is just the beginning," he said calmly. "The real challenge is getting through it safely.""I've read up on it," Zara replied, her brows furrowing with concern. "A lot of patients run into trouble in the first 24 hours after surgery. That's when the biggest r

"Making it right... how?"A playful smile appeared on Yosef's face. "You're not going to give me anything for my trouble? Not even a little bonus?"He had been looking at her lips.He wanted a kiss.Why was he looking at her like that, with that teasing smile?Zara stayed quiet for a few seconds before saying, "Don't you usually just take what you want?""I used to, but now, I'd rather you be the one to offer."Zara felt like he was teasing her more and more. She whispered, "But we're outside."Yosef tilted the umbrella downward to hide them. "Now, no one can see, right?"He really wanted her to kiss him.Zara's fingers had curled tightly inside her sleeve.She let out a breath. Finally, on tiptoes, she gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth.It was over in an instant.Yosef's gaze grew intense. Before she could step away, he gently pulled her closer, leaned in, and gave her a proper kiss."This is what a real kiss feels like," he whispered.Zara felt overwhelm

Caught off guard, Zara nodded and thanked him. "Okay, thank you for your help.""Don't mention it," the driver replied. He set up the bed before leaving. Zara had not expected Yosef to think of her comfort.She gazed at the bed for a moment and then found a cozy corner that was out of the way. She unfolded her blanket and stretched out on the bed.Zara's back, stiff from two long days and nights, finally relaxed. For the first time, she felt the pull of gravity so clearly. She felt her whole body sink down heavily....Yosef was back in East Coast.He did not like having other people in his home. The housekeeper only came to clean when he was at work. If he was home, he was the only one there.He tossed his coat and suit onto the couch and was about to shower when his phone rang.It was Ethan.Yosef answered and set the phone on the dresser."Dad."From the other end, he could hear Macy's voice. "Be nice, be nice. No need to get mad."Yosef's eyes showed a flicker of annoya

The night before Sharon's surgery, Zara thought she would be wide awake with worry. To her surprise, however, the next time she opened her eyes after falling asleep was seven in the morning. Sharon was scheduled for surgery at eight. Zara folded up her bed and freshened up in the hospital's bathroom before heading back to the ICU.Soon after, Cheryl and Troy arrived.Right at eight, the nurses wheeled Sharon off to the operating room. The red light that read 'In Surgery' flickered on.That was when Zara started to really worry.She was scared the surgery might not work; scared of unexpected problems; scared that by agreeing to the surgery, she might have made a terrible mistake... However, she knew that without the surgery, Sharon wouldn't stand a chance.Cheryl was super nervous too and started to cry.Troy wrapped his arms around her and said, "Don't worry, it's all going to be okay. The doctors are from overseas. They know what they're doing. Right, Zara?"Zara wanted to be
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 252
Cheryl and Troy were still there.They had no idea what the doctor had told Zara. When they saw Zara rush to hug a man, they were clueless about who he was.Yosef gave Charvi a quick look. She got the message and hurried over to explain things to Cheryl and Troy.What mattered more, however, was giving the two of them some space.Zara's forehead was resting right on Yosef's collarbone.In that instant, she was crying happy tears for Sharon. She felt a huge relief as her worries melted away, and her heart was truly dancing with joy.Only Zara knew how much sincerity she poured into the hug.Once she had calmed down a bit, Zara tried to step back from Yosef's arms.Now, it was Yosef who did not want to let go. He held her close by the waist. She could not help but ask, "Mr. Webb?"Yosef thought for a second, his eyes narrowing. "Is this the first time you've hugged me because you wanted to?"Zara held onto his suit jacket and whispered, "Dr. Jolene is still watching us.""We c

Harper's kisses were always teasing, intentionally awakening her senses.Their tongues tangled, taking her breath away. When she felt like she could not breathe and instinctively grabbed at his shirt, Harper let go and kissed his way down to her chin, neck, and chest.She could not resist him.Shelby was torn. She did not have to hold back her body's needs and reactions, especially since they could not end their marriage just yet. He was her husband, after all, so why should she deny herself? She decided to make the most of it.Men could easily separate love from physical desire, and women could too. Shelby did not think that accepting Harper's touches meant she liked him. It was just about meeting a need.She would just get that over with.Shelby's fingers gripped the sheets tightly as Harper kissed her growing belly. She was six months along, and her belly was a little bigger. The thought of their child made his heart melt, and he kissed her several more times before suddenly s

Shelby made a sound of agreement, her back sore from sitting too long. She leaned back against Harper without much thought. She was busy with her work and not in the mood for conversation.Harper quickly got the gist of the case file. In short, it was a classic example of someone facing the consequences of their own actions.In the western part of Starville, there was a middle school and a vocational school. The two schools were just a street apart. Not all, but at least 80% of the vocational school students were troublemakers.One of those students, Yered, often rounded up his gang to shake down the middle school kids for their money.Since last year, the bullies had been targeting Steven Scott, a middle schooler. They would often demand money from him. Steven was shy and scared, so he never stood up to them and just handed over the cash.However, this time, as he was walking with a girl from his class, the bullies blocked their path again. They started to pick on the girl becaus

Samantha was really happy. She lifted her finger elegantly and said softly, "One step at a time. First, we'll make sure the child is gone. Then, we'll push them to divorce, and in the end, when she's weak from losing the baby, we'll take care of her." If Shelby died as Harper's wife, then Harper would get everything, and that would be bad. The two women agreed. While reclining on their bamboo chairs, they started dreaming about their perfect future—one with the Young family and the other with all the money. Since the foot masseuse could not hear or speak, they talked freely, not worried about anyone overhearing them. After the massage, they even went to eat together. The masseuse quietly cleaned up and tidied the room. Then, she headed straight for the lookout point. The resort was in the mountains, with lots of trees and streams. The lookout was up high, with a great view of all the little mountains. It was a beautiful spot that every guest at the hotel made sure to visit.

Adalee was doubtful. "Is it really that serious? Our husband doesn't like that dowdy wife or the eldest son. Even if he's started to favor Harper more because of his marriage to the Lambert family, that still won't affect our children.""Our husband used to leave the company matters to our sons, but now he's handing them over to Harper. Who knows what the future holds?" Samantha said with a hint of malice. "We can't take that risk. We can't let Harper get too much leverage. We can't let him and his child have too great a chance to win."Adalee could see Samantha was desperate and asked anxiously, "What are you thinking of doing? She's a lawyer. She knows the law, and she's the sole heir to the Lambert family."Samantha's eyes suddenly became slits. "That's right, she's the only one who will inherit the Lambert family's fortune. With that kind of money, there are loads of people who want to trick her or get their hands on it. "She's a lawyer, not a superhero. Just wait. I'll make

It was Shelby's first visit to the Youngs' place, and by chance, she walked in on his father's so-called second and third wives being snide to Harper. His dad had not lifted a finger to help. It seemed like this was not a one-off occurrence.Was that the way they always treated him?Harper, taken aback by her blunt question, nearly slammed on the brakes. What?"Me, being pushed around in the family? That's just because I can't be bothered..." Who would waste their time arguing with a bunch of women or stoop so low as to fight with their dad's other women? That would be so embarrassing, right?However, he stopped himself mid-sentence.Because he suddenly realized that by saying that, he was making it sound like he felt bad for being 'picked on' at home.Harper slowed the car down and glanced at Shelby. Her eyebrows were knitted together, and she looked really serious. She was definitely not happy.He almost smiled, but he pushed it back down. He swallowed hard and changed his voi

She faced Samantha, not bothering to argue about inheritance rights. "You still haven't answered my earlier question. What does 'stepmother' mean?"Caught off guard by the sudden shift back to the topic, Samantha was momentarily speechless.Shelby did not wait for her to catch up. She pulled out her phone and quickly tapped the screen."Ah, I see," Shelby remarked, glancing at her phone. "According to this, 'stepmother' used to refer to a concubine in ancient times. That's similar to a servant, isn't it? So, in modern terms, it's like a maid. "Got it now. Would you mind getting me some salad? Thanks."The nerve of her, treating Samantha like a common maid! She had never been so insulted. "You!"Shelby set her phone down and met her gaze. "Since you're so curious, I'll fill you in. In the Lambert family, my word is law. If you're ever curious about me again, just ask me directly. No need to rely on rumors."Samantha bit her lip and looked to Gilbert for support, but he just sat

It was Shelby.Pregnant and in flats, she stood firm with not a hint of weakness about her.Her steady gaze fell on the two women who fancied themselves important, leaving them at a loss for words.Harper paused for just a moment, then quickly got to his feet and hurried over. "Dear!"The Young family's house was bright and airy. Harper's eyes sparkled with the unexpected joy of seeing Shelby, who had said she would not come. His face lit up with a smile.Shelby watched him, amused. She thought he was like their excited Shiba Inu, dashing over at the sight of its owner.Harper reached her side, calling out again, "Dear."Shelby gave a small nod. "Yeah."The guests at the dining table snapped out of their surprise, and Wrenley beamed. "Shelby, you're here."Shelby greeted her parents-in-law, "Mom, Dad."Wrenley hurried over to help her, her actions showing just how much she cherished her daughter-in-law.That was Shelby's first visit to the Young family since her wedding. She

Harper waited until Wrenley had said enough, andthen he spoke up."I just don't get you. Your family's loaded, my grandparents are laidback, and Dad doesn't even like you. Why stick to him? Just divorce him, take half his stuff, go home, and hang out with some young models. "That'd be way better than sticking to a lost cause. You've got no ambition."If it were Shelby, she would have left by then if he had not trapped her by getting her pregnant and holding something over her head. Why couldn't his mom be more like his wife?"In your dreams!"Wrenley, with tears in her eyes, scoffed. "The Young family wasn't always so fancy. I married him, and he promised me the moon. 'A good wife helps me reach my dreams, and I'll pay her back in gold.' And then what? "Once the Young family made it big, he just kept bringing in more women and their kids. How can I accept that? I'll fight him to the end, even if it kills me!"Harper sighed. "You want to fight him, I don't. Shelby and her baby

"An old friend?" Zara questioned. "If an old friend wanted to see me, they should be visiting the cemetery, not here."Only a very few people knew she was still alive.Shawn asked, "Is it a man or a woman?""A young man. He also said something else...""What did he say?"The butler hesitated, then relayed, "He said... The miss tricked him, and now she owes him for it."Zara was speechless.The garden fell silent for a moment, with only the whisper of the summer wind rustling through the flowers.Seconds later, Shawn set aside his tablet and smiled slightly. "Really? That sounds fun. Get him to come in. I'd like to meet him too."Zara had thought it was just a joke, but when the butler led the visitor in, she stood up in astonishment.It was him!...In Parnova, the sun shone brightly.However, in Starville, the weather was turning.The sky had been clear when Harper left home in the morning. However, when he reached the Youngs' place at noon, he saw the sun hidden behind
