Semua Bab Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Bab 591 - Bab 600

The two stood close, one tall and one shorter. They made a perfect pair. They wore similar styles and were both dressed in blue. The woman had on a beret and a mask, the brim pulled down to show only her eyes.She turned to the man and said something, and he leaned in to listen. His hand naturally brushed her hair from under her coat, the black strands twirling around his pale fingers.She did not seem to mind his touch, as if it was the most natural thing.Yosef's mind raced back to the last holiday in Westwood, when he had walked hand in hand with her through the streets in the biting winter wind. He had fixed her scarf and gently tugged her hair free just as naturally.She had looked up at him, her smile making her eyes twinkle.A lump formed in Yosef's throat. He stepped forward, then stopped himself.He could not, he just could not.This was not the time.In no time at all, the group was on the plane, but Yosef did not go any further.Charvi hurried over and asked, "Mr. W

Harper felt like he had stepped out and come back to a game of charades.Yosef nonchalantly passed the contract with Alsa over to Ophite.Ophite browsed through it quickly, raising his eyebrows in surprise. "This project's a big one, at least three years to finish. With this, Four Prosperity Group will be back on track in no time. "Think of Four Prosperity Group as a young plant—it's just starting to grow roots and shoots."Yosef's expression turned frosty, almost unreadable. "Four Prosperity Group has to do more than just grow. We need to flower and bear fruit."Then, they would wait for her to harvest....Stefan and Yaxley stepped out of the hospital together.The May night breeze in Starville was refreshing, yet the hospital buzzed with activity around the clock.They waited by the curb for their driver to pull up.Across the street, shops blinked with neon lights, painting them in a mix of colors. Between the two of them, one looked stern and proper while the other loo

Shelby shoved him away. People who were used to being in charge did not like being held back, and it just so happened that Harper was a leader-type too. They were like magnets with the same pole, pushing each other away.She slipped on her oven mitts, grabbed the pasta from the microwave, and took it to the living room to eat.Harper was a master at playing his cards right.He did not think Shelby was avoiding his food or trying to draw a line between them. No, he figured she was just super hungry and could not wait.After scratching his chin, he opened the fridge, looked around, and grabbed a couple of eggs.Shelby did not bother watching what he was up to in the kitchen. She kept eating and scrolling through case files on her phone. However, soon, Harper added two perfectly fried eggs to her plate of pasta."Sprinkled with a bit of rose salt. Not bad, right?"She had not tasted it yet, but the eggs looked great with the whites cooked just right and the yolks still runny. They

Did Harper not want to get married? How could he just call Shelby 'honey' like it was nothing? Was he being serious or just teasing her?She also realized that in the short time they had been together, she always seemed to be caught off guard, which was embarrassing—especially since she was quite a few years older than him.She had not felt that way when they got their marriage certificate at the county clerk's office earlier, but in the cramped bathroom, Harper's presence felt overwhelming. Maybe it was because he was so tall?She exhaled silently, trying to regain her usual poise. "I'm just wiping off. I've got a bit of a fever.""Fever?" Harper stepped into the bathroom. It was not a small room, but with him there, it felt like there was hardly any air. Shelby held her breath."You need to wipe your back to help with a fever, and you can't reach. I'll do it for you."He did not wait for her to agree. He took her towel, ran it under water, wrung it out, and slipped it under her

Harper left Pearl Bay and headed straight to the hospital to check on Yosef.Yosef's lung tumor had spread a bit, but it was not serious enough for surgery. For then, he had to take medicine and wait to see if things got better or worse before they could decide on the next step.Yosef looked a lot better. Harper did not have much else to do, so after a short chat, he got ready to leave."Where did Wilder go after she left Starville?" Yosef asked."How should I know?" Harper responded."Come on, quit the act," Yosef shot back.Harper cracked a smile and said, "We messaged a few days ago. He went to the capital city to see his siblings, and from there, he flew out of the country. He said he's going to travel for a bit before figuring out his next move."Yosef just gave a noncommittal hum.Harper teased, "Getting soft, huh? I'll tell Wilder he can head back to Starville when he's done having fun."Yosef just laughed dryly. "Since when do I forgive someone who's betrayed me?""Ok
