Yearning for Her Return Chapter 169 Couldn’t Be Rushed
"Well, no. It's just that I don't have anything else to attend to here, and my parents miss me. I figured I could head home earlier than planned." Rebecca was calm now. She could speak about it like nothing had happened.Markus thought Liam had rejected her outright. His expression shifted. "Man, that old guy! He's refusing to do the work after enjoying the food! Gimme a sec, Ms. B. I'll talk some sense into him.""No, don't." Rebecca stopped him, looking helpless. "He didn't turn me down. Maybe today's dishes just weren't to his taste or something. Anyway, I don't think it's good for me to keep pestering him."My brothers can't wait for me to be home, and maybe my mother will get better when I'm with her. Then, we won't even have to bother Dr. Manson. He's not exactly young anymore, after all."Rebecca was being honest. She'd never been the type to trouble others to help her. She could set aside her pride and beg once or twice, but she wasn't shameless enough to do it again and ag

"Oh, it's nothing. A customer said this dish wasn't authentic, so I was surprised to hear Ms. Jones say it was. But everyone has different tastes, right?"It's normal for different people to have different types of feedback. Anyway, let's eat while everything's still hot."Rebecca didn't intend to say much. She explained perfunctorily before smiling.Maxwell didn't seem to want to let the matter slide, though. After a short silence, he said, "As you said, Becca, everyone has different preferences. Maybe that customer only said that because this dish is slightly different from what he remembers."It might not have anything to do with the dish itself." He added politely, "You don't mind me calling you that, do you? It's how I used to address you when we were younger."Rebecca did feel a little awkward at the suggested intimacy, but she couldn't make him change. She smiled and shook her head. "It's fine."Maxwell filled their glasses with more water. His attention was obviously stil

Rebecca turned to see a familiar face. His deep eyes were filled with anger as he glared at her. It was as if she was committing a crime by standing with Maxwell. His words didn't make the situation better.What did he mean by that? Was he saying that she was leading someone on because she wasn't sure about Sam?Rebecca had initially been feeling a little nostalgic because it was almost time for her to leave Riverwood. Now, that was gone. How in the world had she fallen for a little shit like Daniel?He wasn't even as handsome as Sam, let alone Ethan, a renowned actor."Go get your head checked if there's something wrong with it, Daniel. Don't come barking at me like a rabid dog." Rebecca glared at him. She'd wanted to reject Maxwell earlier, but she changed her mind now.She glanced at Maxwell and said, "Let's go."Naturally, Maxwell wouldn't object to this. He nodded and smiled gently. "Sure."They all knew each other, so it'd be rude for him to leave without acknowledging

"You …" The flames of Rebecca's anger were suddenly extinguished.She was caught off guard by Daniel's apology. She'd already thought of the insults she wanted to hurl at him for dragging her out here and his rudeness.Daniel didn't know what she was thinking. He only saw from the corner of his eye that her wrist was red from how tightly he'd gripped it. He loosened his grip further, only keeping her within the circle of his arms."I apologize for what I said. I can't control my temper sometimes, and when I saw you with Maxwell, I thought … Anyway, he's not a good guy. You should stay away from him."Rebecca immediately tugged her wrist free now that Daniel's grip had loosened. She looked at him warily. "Apology accepted. If you don't have anything else to say, can you let me go?"She didn't comment on anything else. She could tell for herself whether Maxwell was a good or bad guy; she hadn't been completely relaxed during the meal.Still, he'd helped her understand some things

"She's not my wife," Daniel subconsciously blurted. He looked at Rebecca seriously. "We're not married yet, so she's not my wife."Rebecca almost retorted by saying that he kept addressing her as "Mrs. Winston" despite them being divorced.But this would make it sound like she was trying to one-up Jessica, so she didn't say anything. "But everyone already knows you're gonna marry her. Since it's bound to happen, what does it matter if I refer to her as your wife now?"Anyway, women are all very petty when it comes to these things. If your wife were to find out about you abandoning her to watch over me, you'd have a lot of explaining to do."Daniel couldn't help finding her words mocking. This was especially true when she referred to Jessica as his wife. It made him feel like she was referring to the wrong person.Daniel quickly pushed this thought out of his mind. Jessica was the one he wanted to marry; George forcing him to marry Rebecca had ruined that. Why on earth would he thi
Last Updated : 2023-09-15Yearning for Her Return Chapter 174 Subconscious and Uncontrollable
Back then, everyone thought an orphan like Rebecca was fortunate to be able to marry Daniel. Heck, even she herself had thought that. How could she dare to complain about anything?When Rebecca was still living with the Brown family, Jessica had talked about how she'd stolen her life and marriage. Even if George was the one who'd made it happen, it was still Rebecca's fault.And that was why Rebecca hadn't dared to voice her grievances, no matter how jealous she was.She'd been terrified of people pointing fingers at her if they heard what she had to say. Would they reprimand her for complaining when she was in a marriage she'd stolen? What right did a thief have to feel aggrieved?That was why she hadn't dared to show how aggrieved she'd felt. She could only suppress her jealousy at how well Daniel treated Jessica.To this day, Rebecca remembered how it had felt. She'd thought the pain from Jessica's beatings was no match for her jealousy. If given a choice, she would rather suff

Rebecca saw this from the car. She'd jolted in shock when she saw Daniel stumbling and immediately turned to see how he was doing. She instinctively wanted to get out of the car to check on him.But she stopped with her hand on the door. Rebecca didn't look away but didn't move either. She'd already made her stance clear to Daniel. There was no point in her doing the opposite of what she'd said.She no longer had the right to worry about him. And so she remained in the car. She texted Ryan to tell him about Daniel, then continued watching him.It only took a short while for Daniel to regain his composure. Rebecca could tell that he was still weakened, though. His eyes were on the ground, and he didn't move. He stood there like a statue.After a few more moments, Daniel straightened up and strode away without a look back. It was as if he was literally leaving everything behind him. And so he didn't notice the worried gaze that hadn't left him.Rebecca only retracted her gaze when D

Rebecca had shot out of the car and dashed toward the private room Daniel and Ryan were in. She didn't even have time to care who she ran into.She managed to shorten a ten-minute journey into three. When she burst into the room without a care for her manners, Daniel and Ryan looked up at her. She struggled to catch her breath."Daniel …" Rebecca could only get his name out as she panted.Daniel gave her a calm look. He took a sip of his water. Despite his calmness, Rebecca could tell he was one step away from telling her to get lost.On the other hand, Ryan came over to support her. "What's wrong, Bex? Why are you in such a rush?"Rebecca's lungs and legs were burning from the exertion. She grabbed Ryan's arm to hold herself up.It had been a while since she'd exercised like this, so she had a hard time adapting. It hurt to even breathe.Daniel's expression had darkened at the sight of Rebecca's hand on Ryan's arm. He said, "Get lost if you have nothing to say."Ryan wasn't h

Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1065 Final
Penny didn't have much free time over the past three years.As she had envisioned, during the first year, she honed her acting skills amidst criticism while also working as a translator.Later on, she felt that acting didn't hold much appeal anymore. Moreover, realizing that there weren't any roles left for her, she gradually gave up and moved toward working behind the scenes.She had some work during this period.It seemed that a daring reality show, not caring about potential risks, decided to capitalize on her controversial popularity and invited her to participate in one of their programs.The reason Penny agreed to participate was because the show's first season had a good reputation, and the payment offered was reasonable.Continuously doing translations could be quite tiring. After discussing with Cecilia and weighing the pros and cons, she eventually signed up for this TV show.Unfortunately, she had underestimated the darker side of human nature.The show's production
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1064 End It
"Really?" Zane blurted out, staring incredulously at Sam, who nodded calmly. His unruly and carefree demeanor was restrained, and his composed attitude showed that he wasn't joking.Zane fell silent again, furrowing his brow as he intently observed Sam.It was as if he thought everything through in an instant, giving up without hesitation. He didn't even remind Zane of the request from years ago to take care of Penny. Instead, he said this would be the last time he would help out.Logically speaking, this should be a satisfactory outcome for Zane. After all, from any perspective, the Lowe family's scion would only be a burden to Sam.Looking again at Sam's attitude, it seemed he didn't want Penny to know he was the one quietly spending money to handle things behind the scenes.Since there was no plan to meet her, he didn't need to worry about anything after that. If that was the case, it would be better to just end it early.That way, if Sam saw Penny falling in love, getting mar
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1063 No Need to Bother
All those old scoundrels from the Lowe family undoubtedly ranked the highest. Then there was Jessica, the entertainment industry's national goddess, who also played a significant role.Besides them, there were a few minor celebrities who didn't really make the cut.However, as Sam's partner and someone who watched him grow up, Zane privately hoped Sam could find a better girl.So, he advised, "There are plenty of socialites in Riverwood, and Amdale has no shortage of beautiful young ladies, either, and Rookfort isn't much different."You and the Lowe family's daughter haven't even officially met…""Who said I haven't met her?" Sam interrupted him without a second thought.He had even seen her twice. How could Zane say they hadn't even met yet?The first time, she gave him all the money she had. The second time, he spoke up to help her get that role.After these interactions, they could be considered acquaintances.Zane choked up and couldn't find the words to refute.He was s
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1062 Enough
Because Penny declined his offer, Zane didn't insist. After a bit of small talk, he ended the call.He politely mentioned that if she needed any help, she could call this number again. If he could assist in any way, he certainly would.However, Zanw knew very well that, given Penny's temperament, she would rather give up what she had than actively seek help from a stranger.Yes, to Penny, Zane was just a stranger. He was a person she had met once but didn't really know.This time, Penny didn't respond as coldly as she did when she was 18. Instead, she exchanged a couple of polite pleasantries, mentioned that she would reach out if needed, and then hung up the phone.After that, she let out a long sigh of relief and lay on the lounge chair on the balcony, gazing at the view outside the window.There were fluffy white clouds in the azure sky and the greenery visible in the neighborhood. Sparrows were chirping persistently as they darted through the forest, and the cicadas loudly bu
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1061 Better
Although the other person said only one word, Penny could still tell he didn't have any ill intentions.Because of that faint sense of familiarity, Penny didn't hang up the phone immediately. "Hello? May I ask what this is about?"The unfamiliar and distant tone probably made the man on the other end of the phone pause for a moment. It was only after a brief silence that he responded."Young lady, don't you remember me? It's Zane Moran."His voice carried a laugh, with a hint of teasing.Only then did Penny remember who he was, but she wasn't happy at all.Zane meant no harm when that incident happened back then. But despite that, over the years that had passed, he became one of the people and things Penny would rather not recall.Whether it was the exam she missed, the incident where Spencer took her to the hotel against her will, or Zane, who gave her 30 dollars for a taxi ride.She just wanted to hide all of them deep in her memories.The recent events had particularly made
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1060 Resilient
"I'm fine. You all don't have to look so worried. You're making it seem as if something bad is going to happen to me."Penny looked at the two people at the door who were showing a range of expressions, feeling speechless.Cecilia was provoked by her words, and her eyes turned red."We're worried about you. You have no idea what you look like right now. You're almost like one of those disheartened protagonists in novels who hated the world."Penny clicked her tongue twice and said, "Aren't you exaggerating?"She didn't believe it. She was just worried about money. It wasn't like she had become disillusioned with life.Besides, she didn't dislike this world at all. On the contrary, she really liked it.Whenever Penny came across posts online suggesting that all humans should just die, she always felt like rolling her eyes. If they wanted to die, they shouldn't drag others with them.When searching for her own role in movies, TV dramas, and novels, Penny particularly preferred re
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1059 Helpless
Penny's way of clarifying things was to simply tell the truth.Sometimes, trying to cover things up would just lead to needing 100 more lies to continue the cover-up. That would often end up making things worse and more ridiculous.It was better to tell the truth about the situation.To answer the question of why she lashed out at the Lowe family, she briefly explained her experiences over the years.Why didn't she attend the final paper of the college entrance examinations? She personally reopened that old wound.As for that man in the hotel, Penny didn't have much of an impression of him anymore. She only remembered not taking his business card and accepting 30 dollars from him.Why did she show up at that man's hotel room? She wrote it down truthfully—it was her father who personally took her and left her at the hotel, wanting to trade her like a commodity.Every single word was carefully considered and written by Penny.She didn't share much of these things with Cecilia. Th
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1058 Excuses
Once the official statements were released, Penny's career being ruined became a certainty.The only surprising thing was probably that after the film crew issued their statement, the largest investor also requested to withdraw.The film crew was completely shocked, but there was nothing they could do. The scion was willing to lose money just to withdraw his investment, so what could they do?The amount of money in the compensation was nothing compared to the amount that the scion planned to invest. The production team would incur a significant loss.With one less investor, the project's status was essentially downgraded. They had much less room to manipulate their gains now, too.One would understand why the scion was doing this if they used their brain a little.However, the protests from the audience couldn't be ignored, and compared to the investors, it was clearly more important to keep the show going.After all, they could always attract more sponsors, even if the amount o
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1057 Despised
In addition to the widespread backlash caused by the phone recording, Penny's academic credentials were also scrutinized and exposed.Before the college entrance exam, she had always been the top student in her school and had never ranked anything else.However, in the college entrance exam, she barely passed the minimum mark for key institutions, far below her usual performance.Some people speculated that she had been cheating during regular exams and that her actual abilities were much worse.However, the exam results could be checked online, and the fact that Penny scored zero on the last exam was surprising.It was even more shocking that she was admitted to a top-tier university despite missing an exam. It was truly exceptional.But few people paid attention to this information.After all, the achievements attained through hard work couldn't be faked. Even if the results weren't as expected, it was undeniable that she was stronger than many others.Regarding this topic, t
