Mr. Williams Wants His Ex-Wife Back

Chapter 22 

Rebecca had been searching information in the library the whole afternoon and thus lost track of time.

It was not until about 7 p.m.

when there was almost no one left in the library that she found it was already late.

Rebecca went back home immediately with a few books in her arms.

In fact, how could she regard Skyline No.1 as home? Even if it was a home, it was Adam and Linda's home, while for her, it was just a temporary shelter.

It was almost 7.30 p.m. when Rebecca got to the the apartment in Skyline No.1 from the library.

She entered the password and opened the door.

What greeted her was nothing but darkness, and only the huge TV screen hanging on the wall was on.

"Rebecca, you're back!"

Linda's voice rang out abruptly, resounding through the whole dim space.

Rebecca followed the voice and looked over, only to see Adam holding Linda in his arms.

The two were lolling together on the sofa, watching a movie.

It was a foreign love story.How romantic!

"Yes, I'm back"

Rebecca responded faintly and walked in, wanting to change her shoes in the hallway.

However, Rebecca opened the shoe cabinet and found that her slippers were nowhere to be seen.

She remembered that there were two pairs in the morning, one women's and one men's.

Well, the women's pair belonged to Linda.

It seemed that Rebecca was overthinking.

"Adam, since Rebecca is back, let's have dinner.I'm hungry:"

While Rebecca was rummaging around in the shoe cabinet for her slippers, Linda said in a soft and coquettish voice.

"You're hungry? You just ate." Adam responded.

Rebecca didn't dare to see the source of the voice, but she could hear the flirtation and teasing in his tone.

"Stop being so naughty! Rebecca is here!" Rebecca smiled.

Although she was still a virgin, she was not stupid! Rebecca believed that Adam and Linda must have had sex right before she came back.

Rebecca was glad that she hadn't come back earlier.

"Rebecca."

Suddenly, Adam called her name.

"Yes."

Only then did Rebecca look up at Adam.Adam's dark eyes were twinkling like stars against the dim light.

"Go cook."

The man ordered briefly.Rebecca was stunned.

"..Me?"

"Don't tell me you can't cook"

The man blurted out. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Oh"

Rebecca replied nonchalantly, no trace of disappointment or indignation heard in her tone, "I can."

"Then go cook now.”

"Oh, okay."

Rebecca agreed mechanically.

She didn't bother changing the shoes, put the books in her arms down on the cabinet in the hallway and walked towards the kitchen in her canvas shoes.

There was no need to ask where the kitchen was because Rebecca had learned it this morning when she came.

"So you can cook, Rebecca.Will it take long?"

Linda's voice came from behind.

Adam drew Linda closer and kissed her on the forehead.

"Just wait and you'll know:"

"Haha..."

Somehow, Linda's merry laughter came from behind Rebecca.

Rebecca didn't want to imagine what was going on, nor did she want to watch them, and she went straight to the kitchen.

It was an open-style kitchen.

Once she came to the kitchen, Rebecca pulled open the large fridge with double door.

The fridge was full.

There were fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, and everything she needed.

They should have been prepared by Mr.Williams this morning.

In fact, Rebecca was hungry too, so she started to cook right away.

"Rebecca, do you want me to help you?"

Just as Rebecca was preparing a tiger grouper, a sweet voice rang out.

"Don't bother.” Rebecca answered faintly without looking back.

"Well, if you need help, tell me." Linda offered.

Rebecca stopped what she was doing, looked up and turned around, only to see the man standing behind Linda.

Adam was a good head taller than Linda.

He was dressed in a shirt and a suit, with one hand in the pocket.

He stood quietly behind Linda, his whole body shadowing hers, but he was staring at Rebecca in silence with his dark eyes, neither gently nor coldly.

"Okay."

Rebecca gave a faint smile and agreed.

Hardly had Rebecca finished her words than Adam turned around and went upstairs with Linda.

Rebecca watched them leave, sighed secretly and went on what she was doing.

It took an hour for Rebecca to cook four dishes and a soup.

She came out of the kitchen with the dishes and set the table, but Adam and Linda were nowhere to be seen.

Oh, they were upstairs.

Rebecca washed and dried her hands.

After that, she went upstairs to tell them the dinner was ready.

It might be because Rebecca was still in her canvas shoes that she made almost no sound while walking, so that the two people upstairs didn't notice her coming at all.

There were a study and two bedrooms upstairs.

The door of the first bedroom was open, and there was no one inside, so Rebecca walked towards the second one slowly.

Just as she was about to reach the door of the second bedroom, Rebecca suddenly saw two figures clinging together on the king-sized bed in the spacious bedroom.

Rebecca heaved a sigh lightly, not leaving just because of what she saw, but stepped forward and knocked on the door gently.

"Dinner is ready.’’ Only then did the two people clinging together hear Rebecca.

Startled, Linda got up from under Adam and looked at the door.

"Who allowed you to come up?"

Adam was not embarrassed at all, but greatly annoyed because someone interrupted his lovemaking.

Rebecca sighed gently.

"Then I'll call you from downstairs next time.’’

After that, Rebecca turned around and went downstairs.Rebecca was hungry to begin with.

Now that she had been busy cooking for an hour, she was starving now.

Before Adam and Linda came down, she picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

"Who allowed you to eat first?"

However, Rebecca only took a few bites before hearing a low and cold voice.

"Go back to your room.Come back again when we finish eating.’’ Adam pointed at one room on the first floor as he spoke.

Rebecca watched Adam with a mouthful of rice, and suddenly, she found it hard to swallow it.

"Adam, don't be like this.Rebecca is not a servant."

Linda held Adam's hand, shook it, and said coquettishly.

"Since I paid for her, she's a servant.I can't eat with her around.” His eyes fixing on Rebecca, Adam said unkindly without looking at Linda.

"Oh, okay."

Rebecca replied with a lump in her throat.

She lowered her head immediately, put down the chopsticks and rose to her feet.

"You eat first.’’ If Adam couldn't eat with Rebecca around, how could he eat the food cooked by her? Rebecca brushed past them and left.

Then she went to get her suitcases.

Her two suitcases were still in the corner of the living room.

Rebecca walked over, pushed one suitcase with each hand and entered the room Adam pointing at.

The room was not big or small.

It had everything, including a bathroom.

What she liked the most were a wall of bookshelf, an armchair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and a little round table.

It was pretty good, and Rebecca was very satisfied! Rebecca closed the door and began to unpack her suitcases, secluding herself from the outside world.

She didn't have many things with her.

One suitcase was filled with books, the other clothes and certificates.

She put the books on the shelf and the clothes in the closet.

There was no toiletries, so she had to buy them later.

Knock, knock...

When Rebecca finished unpacking and was enjoying the night view of half New York in front of the floor- to-ceiling window, someone knocked on the door.

"Rebecca, we're done eating.Come out and eat!" It was Linda.

Rebecca came back to her senses and went to open the door.

Looking at Linda smiling so sweetly at the door, Rebecca nodded and said, "Okay"

Then she went out of the room and walked past Linda towards the dining room.

Older than Rebecca, Linda was 24 years old, but Rebecca felt that Linda was like a spoiled child, while she was like an unwelcome mother.

No, she was a servant, a servant! Rebecca didn't see Adam on her way to the dining room.

Meanwhile, the food on the table was almost finished up.

"Rebecca, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking.I won't eat out anymore.I'll just have your food!"

Linda came over and complimented her ina loud and clear voice.

Rebecca smiled.

"I'm glad you like it.’’
