Yearning for Her Return Chapter 763 Vicious Cycle
Carissa knew something very clearly in her heart.In the past, what she hated the most was when someone relied on their family's wealth and acted as if they were the most good-looking guy in the world while thinking that every girl would fall for them.At this moment, Alex did look like one of those privileged babies who benefited from nepotism.If he were to hold a cigarette in between his fingertips, he would embody everything Carissa despised.However, strangely enough, she didn't feel any disgust when she looked at Alex now. Instead, she found herself listening to him attentively.After some contemplation, she earnestly said, "To be honest, Alex, there's quite a difference between how you actually look and how I imagined you to be.""How so?" asked Alex."Perhaps my first impression of you has made me biased toward you. I always thought of you as condescending and aloof. Moreover, our conversations on WhatsApp have always been very formal. You usually use technical terms and
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 764 Accompany You
However, Alex was aware that the cost of being a shameless person was to be ignored by the girl he liked.Judging by the current situation, it was not a crisis for him yet at this point. As long as he kept his virtue of being a good gentleman, he shouldn’t become as pathetic as Daniel. He couldn’t help but reprimand himself for having such thoughts.What was he thinking?Out of everyone, why did he have to compare himself to Daniel? Was it really necessary?Putting aside all the trivial matters in his mind, Alex lowered his head and looked at Carissa, who was sitting in the passenger seat.He casually glanced at her and said with a smile, "If that's the case, let's get to know each other again. I will need much of your help in the future, Miss Carissa."Carissa looked up and met his gaze. Finally, all the worries in her mind were gone.She didn't know what she was worried about.However, Alex fell into silence soon after saying that. Carrisa became more cautious. She was
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 765 Coming Back Home
As soon as she heard Alex, Carissa was snapped out of her reverie.She turned and met Alex’s caring gaze, and in an instant, her uneasiness and anxiety disappeared.It was just a trip back home, not a matter of life and death. There was no need to fear it as if she was in danger.Carissa shook her head and pretended to be relaxed as she said, "No need, thanks, Alex. I'm just going home, and not going to a haunted house. I don't need my boyfriend to accompany me for now."She opened the car door but didn't rush to close it."It's getting late. You should go back to the hotel and rest early. Remember to send me a text when you arrive. I will go first. One day, after I have talked to my parents about it, I will take you upstairs.Meeting your girlfriend’s parents was no joking matter.For now, Alex was not merely a colleague; he was Carissa’s boyfriend. If he went up there empty-handed, she wasn’t sure how her parents would react.Moreover, she hadn’t even told her parents she was
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 766 Bad Note
It was nine o'clock at night now, and the TV was showing the typical dramas that the older generations usually like.It showed scenes of a mother-in-law causing trouble for her daughter-in-law with a confrontational tone. The mother-in-law was standing on the moral high ground and criticizing the daughter-in-law for not being a good wife. She spoke about how other daughters-in-law served their husbands and criticized the daughter-in-law's actions incessantly.Well, it sounded horrible indeed.Carissa couldn't utter a single word. Because of Gina's words, Carissa came back to have a good talk with her parents. No matter if Gina's words were true or false, it was still bad for family members to have such tension.However, she did not expect things to turn out like this.She hadn't even stepped into her house and was already hurt so deeply.Carissa stood in place and listened to the characters on the television argue incessantly. She felt like she stood out awkwardly in this s
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 767 No Big Deal
There were two doors at her house, but Carissa still left easily.She closed the wooden door first, and then resolutely shut the iron door, which left no room for second thoughts. The lights in the corridor were turned on by sensors due to the movement. Carissa stayed in front of the door for a while, but there was no response from the room.She took a deep breath and walked slowly downstairs. Moonlight seeped through the corridor window. The dim light went out and didn't turn back on due to her footsteps. She didn't know that the door on the sixth floor was pushed open again after she went down two flights of stairs; only a spot on the floor shone by the moonlight was there.When Carissa reached the second floor, she took out her cell phone. She clicked on an app and planned to hail an e-hailing taxi back to the hotel. At the same time, some embarrassing things were already on her mind. If she were to go back to the hotel, she would bump into Alex. Explaining things to
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 768 Useless to Cry
Carissa released her emotions in Alex's arms for quite some time before pulling away. The pent-up frustration seemed to flow out along with her tears, and when she noticed the large wet spot on Alex's chest due to her tears, embarrassment replaced the previous emotions. It felt like she hadn't cried much since elementary school. Crying didn't seem to change anything. No matter how loud she cried, the food snatched away and thrown on the ground wouldn't miraculously return to her hands. No matter how hard she cried, she still had to go downstairs to prepare dinner alone and wipe away tears while eating. Her parents were always busy, and crying only brought them more trouble. They would look at her with impatience, threaten to take her to the detention center, and scold her for being a crybaby who didn't understand anything. Consequently, when she later sought help from the police, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.It was ironic that those who were there to help her
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 769 Is This Okay?
Carissa felt somewhat discouraged when she thought about it.She went back home due to impulse after listening to what Gina had said.Before that, she had already mentally prepared herself for a long time.Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed on the other side of the river that night and encountered Rebecca and the others, which had been dramatically captured, posted online and used as so-called evidence of the deals between the two clubs. Carissa didn't know when she would be mentally prepared next time. So, she couldn't figure out which day would be the right time."The right time could be when you lead the team to win a championship, or during the next important holiday, or even … When you are ready to take me back to meet your parents. If all else fails, you can wait until you're ready to marry me." Alex said this very seriously, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.Although he wore his usual easygoing smile, his eyes were extremely earnest as he looked at her. The tone of h
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 770 Frustration
Carissa didn't know, and she couldn't give herself an answer now.Since it was already dark, she decided to go back and have a good night's sleep.She would then think about her concerns tomorrow.After spending some time by the roadside and taking a detour along the riverbank, the traffic on the street had lessened. Alex silently accelerated and quickly returned to the hotel.The official accommodation provided by the event was on the same floor, so Alex conveniently escorted Carissa to her room. He stopped at the door and said, "Get some rest in your room. Don't overthink things. Tomorrow is a day off. If you plan to return to the base early, go with the others. If you don't want to go back so soon and have no plans, how about joining me?""Sure." Carissa, having already calmed down, seriously considered Alex's suggestion. "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning, okay?"Although she didn't know Alex's holiday plans, the idea of going out with him to unwind and get to know e

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

"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
