Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Kabanata 391 - Kabanata 400

Zara's first instinct was to push him away!Her second thought was why was he so hot to the touch?She pressed her hand against Yosef's chest. Even through his clothes, it felt like she was being burned.When she pushed Yosef, he just plopped down on the floor, as if he could not resist at all.The living room light shone on Yosef's pale, handsome face, making it look a little red.Some of his short hair had fallen over his eyes, which made him seem less intense than usual.Zara bit her lip. She could still feel where he had touched her, and she did not look too happy.She had forgotten that Yosef had the key card to her room."What are you doing here?"She remembered how several people had said similar things to her that night. She asked sharply, "Did you come here to convince me to reconcile with Leah? They're offering 1.5 million dollars. How much more are you going to add, Mr. Webb?"Add half a million?No way, Yosef had deep pockets. He would probably double it.Zara's

They stared at each other. After a few seconds, Yosef closed his eyes. Tired, he whispered, "Take care of me. If I die, no one will like you anymore."His words broke through her frustration, leaving her feeling scattered and lost.For the first time ever, he made it clear—he liked her.This guy had a knack for hitting a nerve. Growing up, she could count on one hand the people who actually liked her.Her parents? She could not shake off the memory of them once agreeing to use her to pay off a debt.If her own folks felt that way, it was no wonder others did too. Yaxley was all talk, and Shawn had ditched her to go overseas.Hardly anyone had ever cared about her. Yosef's piercing words made her heart ache so much she felt numb.However, did he really like her? Was it not Beatrice he was into?What a jerk, tricking her again.Zara's bed had a blanket spread out on it. She grabbed the edge and yanked it, pulling Yosef and the blanket right off the bed.The bed was not tall, bu

Zara bit her lip and said, "Yosef, I can't believe you don't have any feelings for Beatrice. I just can't. If you don't care about her, why are you still protecting her?"My mom has to live with an artificial heart because of what Beatrice did, and my mom's mind isn't even working right anymore... I'm so scared that one day, I'll go home and she won't know who I am. Or worse, she won't be there at all."Please, get off me. Every time I see you, I remember how you always stood up for Beatrice when I tried to talk to you about what she did. You always take her side, even though you say you like me. That's not how you show someone you like them, it's just not."Yosef looked into Zara's eyes and saw them shimmering with unshed tears.She looked so hurt.This was not the first time she had looked at him that way.It reminded him of the Thanksgiving Day parade float incident when Beatrice blamed Zara for the mishap, and he scolded Zara instead of helping her. He had never been harsh with her

Zara remained leaning against the wall even after the call had ended.While Zara was relaxing in the warm waters of Rofey Manor, she remembered Leah talking about Shawn buying a company back home and planning to take it public. She had not thought much about it then, but Stanley's words made her wonder.Was Shawn really coming back?Leaning against the wall, Zara looked up, her mind drifting to last New Year's Eve.That night had stuck with Yosef, and she had seen Shawn then too.Shawn had come back to visit from time to time, so it was not like she had not seen him at all.Her gaze was distant as she got lost in her thoughts. She did not even notice Yosef standing at the doorway.Yosef watched her. She seemed to be reminiscing. He really wanted to know what she was thinking about.Soon after, Zara's phone rang again. It was Shelby."Shelby," Zara answered."Terence and Wilson Nox just called me. They want to have lunch with you," Shelby said."I can't eat with them," Zara r

Zara did not feel like moving, so she stayed at the same restaurant where she had lunch with Shelby to meet with Terence and Wilson Nox. She just shifted from indoors to a table outdoors under the shade of a parasol.With the New Year's holiday over and everyone back to work, the streets were quieter. Zara's mind wandered to New Year's Eve when she had walked hand in hand with Yosef through the lively streets. They were on their way to the story-telling café. She was lost in the memory until someone pulled out the chair across from her, bringing her back to the present.Snowflakes started to fall again, and the person sitting down was Yosef.He no longer looked sick like he had the night before and that morning. He was wearing a sharp, expensive suit that was perfectly tailored from top to bottom. He was the high-and-mighty Yosef once again.Zara paused for a moment. "Mr. Webb, did you come to back me up even though you're sick? I'm really touched, but Shelby is with me. She's ju
