Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 411 - チャプター 420

Right after she spoke, Yosef leaned down and kissed her passionately. It was a bold kiss, right there in the daylight with people all around. He did not seem to care as he held her gently and kissed her deeply. Zara, worried someone might recognize them, held onto his suit tightly while murmuring his name.Yosef seemed to throw caution to the wind and kissed her for a long moment before finally letting go. He was breathing hard, and with a mischievous glint in his eye, he said, "We're not just trying. We're doing this. We're together."Before Zara could even react, he took her hand and slipped a ring onto her finger. He was making a silent promise to her and to their future.Zara's eyes widened in shock!His voice was deep and raspy. "Listen, the county clerk's office is closed for the holiday. Once they're back after the festivities, we'll go and sign the papers."What? What did he just say?Hold on a second!When Zara realized he was not kidding, her heart skipped a beat!S

On their short walk home from the mall, Zara's mind was racing. How on earth was she going to break the news to her parents, Trevor and Sharon, that she was getting married—and so suddenly?How could she explain that their daughter, who had left the house as a single woman this morning, was coming back half an hour later with a wedding on the horizon?She could not find the right words, so she just kept pacing around the block with Yosef until he got fed up. He took her by the shoulders and steered her toward home."Sooner or later, you have to introduce me to your parents. I'm not that bad, am I?" Yosef joked.Zara was worried because Yosef was so impressive that she did not know how to explain things to her parents.With an arch of his elegant eyebrows and a thoughtful hum, Yosef followed Zara into the house.Trevor was still out, but Sharon was there. When she found out Zara had brought a male friend home, she was both shocked and thrilled. It was the first time Zara had ever

Trevor had not come back by dinner, and the caretaker had gone out to find him. Zara was going to help Sharon with the dishes, but Sharon suggested she sit with Yosef instead. Sharon did not want her new son-in-law to feel awkward sitting by himself. However, that seemed silly. Yosef could stay calm through anything.Zara still went to him. Yosef was on the couch, and she was about to sit in a chair nearby when Yosef pulled her down next to him. He whispered, "What did you tell your mom?"Zara, ever so alert, shifted away slightly and said, "Nothing at all.""Didn't she say anything about why she's so distant with me now?" Yosef gently squeezed her fingers. "You think I can't tell? She was just upset with me. What did I do to upset your mom?"Yosef was a confident man, mostly because he had a lot going for him. However, any good parent, not looking to trade their kids like baseball cards, would first and foremost care about the character of their child's partner when it came to m

"Time to eat, everyone! Zara surprised us by bringing Yosef home today without a heads-up, so we've just got our usual home cooking. I hope Yosef likes it."Yosef stood up, glanced at Trevor's pale face, and said in a kind voice, "I'm the one who didn't tell Zara I was staying, so she couldn't let you know. It's not her fault."Sharon, the mother-in-law, could not stop smiling at Yosef. She had not been that cheerful in ages. Teasingly, she said, "Yosef, don't let Zara get away with too much."However, she quickly added, "Then again, Zara's always been so thoughtful. She's not one to be spoiled."Zara just smiled.As they all sat down to eat, Sharon ladled some soup into Yosef's bowl and kept adding more food to his plate with the serving spoon."Yosef, try this chicken noodle soup. It's very nutritious."And the grilled salmon with lemon sauce, Zara loves it. She's always had a thing for tangy flavors since she was little."Yosef glanced at Zara, who indeed had been consistent

Zara touched her face, stunned by the sudden pain.Trevor could not believe he had actually hit her. His hand was balled into a fist as he said sternly, "I'm your dad! You have to listen to me! If I say you can't marry him, then you can't. He's bad news!"Zara's face was calm as she looked at him and asked, "What about when you gave me away to pay off your debts? Were those people good?"Trevor was rocked to his core.Zara usually did not bring up old hurts.Whether it was the mean things Yosef had done or the time Trevor and Sharon had tried to sell her, once she forgave, she tried to forget.However, today, Trevor had made her too upset. "You already chose to give me up, so stop acting like you're in charge. You've lost that right. If you make Mom upset again, I'll take her away."With that, she spun around and left.The wind made the slap on her face burn even more. She swallowed hard and started running out of the alley.What she did not expect was to see that fancy Maybac
