Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 201 - Bab 210

Everyone present was stunned momentarily by the kid's words, but soon they started laughing. Even Sam, who had been pulling a long face, and Caleb, who rarely showed much expression, couldn't help but smile. Everybody was touched by the question but soon felt sad by the circumstances that led to that question. Oliver mightn't feel so lonesome if his mother were by his side. He might've grown up as happily and as healthily as his peers and would've been more expressive. What a pity!Rebecca smiled when she heard the question, but felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She couldn't understand the others' reactions. She turned to Oliver earnestly and answered, "I'm sorry, my dear nephew but I can't be your mom. You also can't call me pretty miss. You need to call me Aunt Becca, because I'm your dad's sister. So, I can't be your mom."Oliver's eyes grew bigger as he tried to digest what he was told. It was only moments later when he responded, "Aunt?""Yes, I'm your aunt an

Everyone knew of Zelda's condition. Whenever someone mentioned Rebecca getting lost as a child, she'd get a bit hysterical and suicidal. It was as though she was a different person.Yvonne realized that she had misspoken and stole a glance at Zelda. To her relief, Zelda was all smiles and was looking at Rebecca with a kind glint in her eyes. "No worries. Becca couldn't be with us then, but she'll be with us from now onwards."When Zelda used to think of her daughter suffering outside the Johnson family, she'd find it almost unbearable, and this in turn made the whole family sad as well. She knew that she shouldn't wallow in the past anymore as Rebecca had returned. She promised to love and pamper her little daughter from now till forever.Everyone present was relieved to see Zelda so optimistic, especially her husband. Kenneth was so pleased that he grabbed her hand in his. Although Zelda was feeling embarrassed, she didn't remove her hand. She only said, "What are you

"Just now in the house, I didn't mean to fling your hand away. I was too angry and didn't control myself. I'm sorry, Becca." Sam sounded solemn as he looked intently at Rebecca.After a long while, he pulled his hand out of Rebecca's grasp."This is far enough for you to see me off. I'll send a message and tell Ethan to come get you here. Better that than having you get lost again. If you wanna go out for some fun tomorrow, I'll pick you up. I'm leaving now."Just as he was about to leave, Rebecca went after him again. She grabbed his sleeve tightly and said, "I wanna go with you!"Sam paused. Although he didn't say anything, his expression showed how troubled he felt.Rebecca didn't let go. Instead, she persisted. "I have something for you."Sam thinned his lips but didn't shake her off. "Follow me if you want."He turned. Under the low light of the street lamps, it was clear that he was smiling. But an instant later, his expression changed back to one of carelessness."Where

Albert and the rest soon arrived. Within the next half an hour, the brothers rushed to Nate's villa with Oliver in tow.When Rebecca heard that her adorable nephew was coming, she couldn't be bothered to chat with Penny anymore. She threw her phone aside and went to welcome her nephew.As soon as the little guy got out of the car, Rebeccas scooped him up and hugged him tightly."Oh my! Oliver is so adorable! He's soft and cute!" Rebecca used to dislike children, especially those of this age. She found them to be noisy and annoying. But when it came to Oliver, she couldn't help but dote on him. Even though it was their first formal meeting today, she wished she could keep him with her forever.Albert, who had come down from the driver's seat, watched as his little sister and son clung to each other. He felt both helpless and surprised by their interaction. His son usually ignored everyone. And at just five years old, he seemed cold and mature. Except for Zelda, he had never shown af

Back in Riverwood, it was a dark and stormy night. Daniel woke up amid the storm. He seemed disoriented and couldn't fall back asleep. So, he got out of bed and stood by the window, gazing blankly at the city's night view.Since his divorce from Rebecca, he had been living at the company, occasionally returning to the Winston residence for a couple of days. Most of his time was consumed by work.He had dreamed of her again, Rebecca Brown. He should have forgotten all about her by now. Yet she kept appearing in his dreams over and over again. Why …Daniel watched the raindrops slowly trickle down the glass, his mind swirling with thoughts. Why did he keep dreaming of her? He couldn't escape these dreams, and they left him entangled.With furrowed brows, Daniel closed his eyes and tried to let the sound of rain drown out his troubled thoughts. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't help but remember that rainy night.Just like tonight, the rain was pouring heavily from the
