All Chapters of Rekindling Love After Divorce : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Charles swallowed hard, his nervousness growing as he glanced over the street. A part of him felt like someone was watching, but he quickly pushed the thought aside. There was no need to be paranoid. "No one else would take Kendall. It has to be James," Charles muttered to himself, his frustration evident. "He's the only one responsible for this," In determination, Charles resumed walking, "I'm going to find Kendall, and make sure his ass is thrown into jail," Striding with quick steps, Charles continued following James everywhere he went, not until James went home. *James drove into his driveway, exhaustion getting the better of him with every move the car made. He let out a deep breath as he turned off the ignition.He leaned on the steering wheel, and his heart ached with guilt and regret. Tears stung his eyes, and he didn't bother fighting them. He never wanted things to get this far. He never imagined that the custody battle would bring so many problems. "I didn't even get

James gazed at her, wondering if helping was her only intention. He knew she had apologized yesterday, but he doubted her sincerity. He suspected she was trying to get closer to him. Squinting, James replied, "I don't need any help right now. When I do, you'll be the first to know," Betty's chest, which was swelled in happiness, deflated, and the smile on her lips slowly faded. "But…"She began, trying to object."I can offer some ideas on how to find Kendall. You never know, one of them might lead you to her," James considered her words, and his earlier firmness began to waver. "Well, that's true. However, I don't want to burden you with my problems, especially since I haven't been very nice to you," James admitted with an awkward tone. "We are friends. You don't have to be nice all the time," She blurted out, curling her lips into a forced smile. "Although I won't deny that you've been hostile towards me, I can't leave you in this vulnerable state. What kind of friend would I be

"What's the job this time?" He asked, his eyes glinting with interest. He leaned in closer, his voice barely above a whisper, "Is it another murder attempt?" Betty didn't like the term 'murder', but it was the only step she could take. "No. It's just making someone disappear," Betty muttered, her voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. A twisted grin spread across his face as he leaned back. "Should we discuss that here?out in the open," He asked, glancing around the place. "I doubt you want an audience for this," He said, fixing his eyes on the cafeteria's owner who was behind the counter, staring. Smirking, Betty replied,"No, let's have a little walk,"The man nodded and opened the door. "Ladies first!" His voiced chimed, attempting to take a chivalrous tone. Betty wasn't amused by his act, but she enjoyed the princess treatment. She stepped out of the cafeteria, and they walked side by side. "So, who should I murder?" He inquired bluntly, only to get a sharp glare.He rais

"I will take the silence from both of you as an agreement," Lizzy said, glancing between James and Amanda. "This is not an agreement, "Amanda shot back, her voice quivering."I just need to find my daughter who has mysteriously disappeared. I'll do anything to make sure that she's found,"Fresh tears stung her eyes and she felt a pang of guilt. The thought of her daughter's disappearance being her fault made it all worse. "I don't want to do this either," James sighed, his eyes lowering to the floor. Lizzy crossed her arms and questioned intensely, "If you didn't want anything from Amanda, then why are you here? Why did you wait for hours to see her? Why did you come in the first place?" James' gaze remained lowered as he responded with a hoarse voice, "I hoped to get some information from her. Probably, something the cops or I might have missed while searching for Kendall," "I wouldn't concede to this cooperation if my daughter wasn't involved," James said, lifting his gaze to Am

"Alright, I'll ensure that my son marries your daughter before this month ends," Agnes agreed, her smile shaky. "Good. I won't stand my daughter suffering anymore," Dan retorted, grabbing the remote from the arm of the couch and switching on the television. Agnes shifted her gaze to the TV, but began thinking of ways to make her son marry Betty. She was aware of how deep James' feelings for Amanda ran, and with the disappearance of his daughter, he wouldn't listen to any plea for the sake of the company.He hadn't cared about the company since Kendall vanished. "What am I going to do?" Agnes's mind raced. "I can't let the company lose over a hundred million. A branch was already lost. I can't risk another failure" She eyed the calendar in the room and thought, "Eighth of the month. I've got twenty-two days left to pull this off. I've got to act fast," *James drove toward Charles' house to pick up Amanda. He visited the hospital earlier, only to find out she had been discharged.
