Yearning for Her Return Chapter 280 What's Your Name
"Sure! Why not?" Before Markus could say anything, Liam had already rushed to answer.He had been in a dilemma about what to have for lunch, too. The food at Gourmet Haven made him lose his appetite, especially after eating Rebecca's cooking for the past two days.It was hard to go back to eating mediocre food after having tasted such culinary delights. It would be like eating cardboard.Hence, when he heard James' suggestion, Liam quickly approved of it. Since someone had already approved of the idea, the rest of them didn't go against it. Markus didn't have much of an opinion, either. He would love to have more of Rebecca's cooking. Still, he faked nonchalance. "Let's see if Ms. B minds. I don't really care."Rebecca didn't really mind, either. Although she felt a bit lazy, she was willing to cook for these old men.Besides, all the ingredients that were prepared here were top-notch, as were the cooking utensils. She only had to cook, so it wasn't that much trouble. Bu
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 281 A Better-Behaved Daughter
When she heard this, Rebecca paused in her footsteps. She fell silent as she thought about whether to answer. But then, James answered his own question."If I recall, Mr. Winston said your last name is Johnson, right? That isn't a very common last name in these parts. "But the Johnson family is quite remarkable, comparable to the Winston family in Riverwood. Have you heard of the Johnson family in Rookfort, child?"Rebecca could only feel her own silence ringing in her ears. Well, it was better to just get it over with quickly.She had planned to visit her grandfather with her parents. That way, they would be able to explain things properly. But now that things had gotten to this point, there was no point in hiding the truth.Besides, based on how James and Markus spoke to each other, they were quite close. That was a guarantee of his character. It was natural for one to be biased toward one's own family. Thus, Rebecca could understand why James had treated her like that earl
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 282 Without a Trace
Although Serena was a bit better than Mary and knew to behave at home, she was just the same as Mary when she was outside.Many parents in their circle had complained to James about Serena. Serena would even bully kids under the age of ten! Still, she didn't feel ashamed about her behavior.It was just that James had never caught her in the act. He was also worried that Serena would be too upset about it, so he had never disciplined her too much. All he ever did was lecture her a bit while having dinner. James had never even raised his voice at Serena before.Besides, he wasn't Serena's parent. He was only her maternal grandfather, so he couldn't overstep.On second thought, James realized that he should think deeper into what Serena had done during that altercation with Rebecca.From what Rebecca said, it sounded like she and Serena had met before. If Rebecca had gotten mad because of the bad situation, why had Serena?As the older one, it was fine if Serena didn't defend Re
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 283 What Did You Say
Rebecca didn't know what James was thinking. She was too focused on her cooking. Since the three people she was serving for lunch were old men, she decided to cook something that didn't need much chewing and was easily digestible.Since it was a cooking competition, there were all manner of ingredients ready to use. Plus, they had all been prepared. All Rebecca needed to do was cook.She worked fast. Even though James had asked her to make a couple of simple dishes, she decided to make a full-course meal for the three old men.She would make them a dessert. Bananas Foster was a simple dish with only a few ingredients, but the test came when she needed to flambé the bananas. Then, she made osso buco using a shank of lamb. It was a lot of work to get it braised, but that was fine because Rebecca was looking forward to having some later as well. She prepared a gravy for it, too, and the polenta it would sit atop.The next dish was much simpler. She chose to make a risotto, as it
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 284 No Relation With Anything
When he saw Markus' reaction, James' expression changed to one of delight. He forgot about eating Rebecca's cooking and put both hands behind his back as he stared at Markus."You old geezer, are you getting hard of hearing, or is your brain breaking down? Don't you understand a simple sentence? I said, your Ms. B is my granddaughter. Got that?"Markus was frozen to the spot. His mouth, which was usually so quick to spout curses, didn't make any noise either. He stared at James, his reactions slow. Then, he turned to look at Rebecca.Rebecca hadn't expected things to play out so soon. She pressed her lips together, unsure of what to say for a moment.But the truth was the truth. Nothing would change that, no matter what Rebecca said now. Finally, she explained things to Markus."He is indeed my mother's father. I mean, he's my maternal grandfather. Markus, I only realized it while I was cooking. You …"Before Rebecca could finish speaking, Markus raised a hand to stop her. She
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 285 What Do We Do
Liam knew that Markus was teasing him to try and break the tension, so he didn't pretend to be angry or argue with him as he usually would have done.Liam only smiled, his expression brightening. "Before moving to Riverwood, I stayed in my mother's hometown. "I didn't make much back then, but my profession was quite respected. Back in the day, we always had some money left over when I lived with her."She cooked very well, but I was so busy that I didn't always have time for meals. Every day, she tried to think up ideas or change her recipes so that I would remember to eat. She would bring the food to the hospital and watch me finish eating it."We were always busy during the holidays. Back then, there were always people being sent to the hospital because of accidents or overdrinking. There were all sorts of cases."Liam continued, "There weren't that many doctors back then, so I would be busy all night. Ever since I started working, I never got to have a meal with her on holiday
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 286 What Was He Doing Here
One of the people who entered the room was none other than Daniel, who was on the judging panel.Even though the others might not be familiar with the other person, Rebecca recognized him. After all, she had met him two months ago.It was Maxwell, Ryan's older brother and the current head of the Jenkins family in Amdale.What was he doing here?"What's going on? Why the rush?"While Rebecca was still in thought, James had already put down his cutlery and stood up from his chair.Gourmet Haven was hosting today's culinary competition. As such, they would be blamed if anything went wrong. James had to stay alert.Rebecca also stood up.She didn't want to let James venture out alone if something had really happened outside.At this moment, she put aside any grievances with Daniel. She furrowed her brows and asked, "What happened?"Daniel looked her up and down. After ensuring that she was safe, he heaved a sigh of relief.He then lowered his voice and said, "A fire suddenly bro
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 287 Flames Rekindled
As Daniel's words resounded, the reporters focused their cameras somewhere else.Not far away, only thick black smoke remained where the fire had burned. There were no longer any visible flames.It had only been 20 minutes since the explosion had occurred and the fire had broken out. But it had already been put out. How had they doused the flames in 20 minutes?The firefighters hadn't even arrived yet!While many people at the scene were still in shock, James, who was beside Rebecca, stepped in front of the cameras.He had a stern expression, and his eyes were aged but still sharp. He stood tall in front of the cameras. It was as if he were facing a formidable army alone.After sweeping his piercing gaze over the crowd, he bowed deeply.Straightening up, he began to speak with a strong voice."To all fellow participants who came to Gourmet Haven's competition today, I, James Stigg, wish to express my deepest apologies. "The fire has been extinguished now. Gourmet Haven will
