Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 409
Zara was taken aback.Leah was unsteady on her feet. At that moment, the waiter came to serve the food, and she bumped into the tray. The waiter quickly apologized, but Leah, in a swift move, grabbed a dish from the tray and smashed it on the floor."Why did he take me to have tacos by the street side stalls? It was only because you went there first, and he followed you! Whether it was going for walks or watching movies, he was always following you!"He never walked me back to my dorm because we didn't stay in the same building. There was no chance he'd see you, so even when I begged him to walk me home, he wouldn't do it. He flat-out refused!"Leah let out all the feelings she had been holding in for the last few weeks, not caring that people were recording her with their phones.Zara looked up at her, completely shocked. Her eyes started quivering."He only agreed to be with me because you were with Shawn that day. He was jealous," Leah said with a sad smile."Why do you think

Unrequited love... The wind made Zara's skin tingle, but she still could not believe it. How could she find out if it was true?She remembered when they had that special meal, Yosef asked about a bunch of love letters.She thought it was strange how much he cared about it. Then, she wondered if he had written her love letters back in the day. Zara leaped to her feet, her eyelashes flickering with worry. She remembered leaving all those love letters at her house back at Fleent. She quickly dialed Shelby's number."Shelby, are you on your way yet?""Just about to leave. What's going on?""I need to go back to Starville with you. Can I tag along?"Shelby paused for a moment before replying, "Sure. Are you still at the restaurant we were at? I'll swing by and pick you up."Before long, Shelby's car pulled up, and Zara hopped in.Once they were on the road, Shelby finally asked, "Is this about Mr. Webb?"Zara's heart raced as she nodded, her lips pressing tightly together. She ne

The next morning, Zara's phone buzzed and woke her up.She had barely slept. Her eyes were heavy with sleep since she had only gone to bed at around four or five in the morning. However, when she saw Yosef's name on the screen, she snapped awake.Sitting up, she glanced at the pale yellow envelope on her nightstand and bit her lip. She was thinking about last night's events.Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she answered the call. "Hello?"Yosef's voice, detached and distant even through the phone, made her shiver."What are you doing?""Sleeping.""Where are you sleeping?" he asked, his voice growing stern. "I'm in your room, and you're not here. Where did you go?"Zara paused, surprised. "You're in my room? You went to Westwood to find me?""Wasn't yesterday your last day of work? I came to pick you up and take you back to Starville," Yosef said, sounding more urgent. "Where are you right now?"Holding her blanket close, Zara glanced at the clock. It was just after 7:00
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 412
Right after she spoke, Yosef leaned down and kissed her passionately. It was a bold kiss, right there in the daylight with people all around. He did not seem to care as he held her gently and kissed her deeply. Zara, worried someone might recognize them, held onto his suit tightly while murmuring his name.Yosef seemed to throw caution to the wind and kissed her for a long moment before finally letting go. He was breathing hard, and with a mischievous glint in his eye, he said, "We're not just trying. We're doing this. We're together."Before Zara could even react, he took her hand and slipped a ring onto her finger. He was making a silent promise to her and to their future.Zara's eyes widened in shock!His voice was deep and raspy. "Listen, the county clerk's office is closed for the holiday. Once they're back after the festivities, we'll go and sign the papers."What? What did he just say?Hold on a second!When Zara realized he was not kidding, her heart skipped a beat!S

The gray cement wall soaked up the sun's rays, making it slightly warm. Zara could feel the gentle heat through her clothes. She looked away. "I haven't agreed to anything, so don't make decisions for me."Yosef planned it all out anyway. "I can't show up empty-handed on my first visit. Let's go to your town's mall. You can pick out some gifts for your parents."It's my first time meeting them. You've got to help me out."Zara fiddled with the ring on her finger, feeling a mix of numbness from his sweet talking and dizziness from his humble posture. Somehow, she found herself leading him to the mall.It was a tourist spot with stores that sold fancy brands.However, before they even stepped inside, Yosef got a call. He glanced at the caller ID, and his forehead creased. He did not look as carefree as before.Zara tried to peek at his phone screen, but he had already ended the call. He quickly transferred her 30 grand and said, "Please help me pick out the gifts. I need to take th
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 414
On their short walk home from the mall, Zara's mind was racing. How on earth was she going to break the news to her parents, Trevor and Sharon, that she was getting married—and so suddenly?How could she explain that their daughter, who had left the house as a single woman this morning, was coming back half an hour later with a wedding on the horizon?She could not find the right words, so she just kept pacing around the block with Yosef until he got fed up. He took her by the shoulders and steered her toward home."Sooner or later, you have to introduce me to your parents. I'm not that bad, am I?" Yosef joked.Zara was worried because Yosef was so impressive that she did not know how to explain things to her parents.With an arch of his elegant eyebrows and a thoughtful hum, Yosef followed Zara into the house.Trevor was still out, but Sharon was there. When she found out Zara had brought a male friend home, she was both shocked and thrilled. It was the first time Zara had ever

Sharon was not naive. Though Yosef's answers were understated, she could see that his elegance was not something a little money could buy."That's wonderful, really wonderful. You've known each other for three years, so you must know each other well. I'm just double-checking," she said.Yosef was not one for going in circles. He suddenly held Zara's hand. "I've just asked Zara to marry me, and she said yes."Zara instinctively turned to look at Sharon.Sharon's face took on a worried expression, and she did not seem happy at all. Forcing a smile, she said, "Getting married is a big deal. You can't rush into it. We hardly know you, and we haven't even met your parents. We should at least sit down together, have a talk, and figure things out."Yosef picked up his cup and sniffed it but did not drink it. He just put the cup back down, looking uninterested.Zara knew exactly what he was thinking. He probably thought the coffee was not fancy enough for him, and he was not too pleased

Trevor had not come back by dinner, and the caretaker had gone out to find him. Zara was going to help Sharon with the dishes, but Sharon suggested she sit with Yosef instead. Sharon did not want her new son-in-law to feel awkward sitting by himself. However, that seemed silly. Yosef could stay calm through anything.Zara still went to him. Yosef was on the couch, and she was about to sit in a chair nearby when Yosef pulled her down next to him. He whispered, "What did you tell your mom?"Zara, ever so alert, shifted away slightly and said, "Nothing at all.""Didn't she say anything about why she's so distant with me now?" Yosef gently squeezed her fingers. "You think I can't tell? She was just upset with me. What did I do to upset your mom?"Yosef was a confident man, mostly because he had a lot going for him. However, any good parent, not looking to trade their kids like baseball cards, would first and foremost care about the character of their child's partner when it came to m

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
