Chapter 36
1 was waiting for you to come back. We left together, and it anything happened to you, I wouldn’t have been able to explain myself”
Rebecca glanced at her and responded nonchalantly, “Alright. Let’s go in, then “
Rebecca and Ruby entered the house. As they stepped into the living room, Duncan’s booming voice erupted.
“Chris, did you mess up the blind date on purpose? Richard called me to complain that we’re taking him for a fool! Lydia went homerrying her heart out! You’re almost go, and there’s not a single lady around you. Who on earth did you get to put on a show with for Lydia?”
Christopher stood straight and wore an expressionless face as Duncan berated him.
Rebecca happened to meet

Seeing her do so reminded Christopher of their kiss that attemoon. He pressed his lips slightly and replied in a cold voice, “I don’t want to Stop setting me up on blind dates. It’s not like I’m your only son. Tell my younger brothers to settle down first.
With that, he turned and strode upstairs without looking back.
Duncan furiously glared at Christopher from behind. “You’re so engrossed in training that you’ve turned into a blockhead? Your unit is full of men, and it’s no wonder you don’t know how to get along with women!”
Ruby, who had been listening quietly, carefully asked, “Mr. Duncan, did Chris in the blind date?
Duncan scowled. “Exactly Lydia said Chris brought some woman alone and claimed they were dating. She said they kissed. I know my son. He doesn’t even hold hands with women, so how could he have kissed anyone?”
Ruby’s heart sank at her words, and her gaze flicked to Rebecca’s face. She noticed Rebecca was still biting her lip Once she took a closer look, she realized Rebecca’s lips seemed a little swollen

That night, Christopher lay in bed, tossing and toming. He couldn’t get any sleep because once he closed his eyes, he would see Rebecca tiptoeing to kiss him
He frowned and opened his eyes to stare at the ceiling. Rebecca wasn’t as simple as she seemed, and he couldn’t afford to underestimate her.
When Christopher woke up the next day, he found his bed in complete disarray. His expression darkened as he looked down at his pants. Meanwhile, Rebecca had woken early and quietly left her room before dawn.
Though she was currently staying at the Grant residence, she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble fur the family. So, she got up before anyone else and bought tree sandwiches for lunch. Then, she headed to the bus station to buy a ticket.
When it was her turn, the ticket seller asked, “Where are you headed, young lady?
“I’m going to Tinbazo Crest.”
The ticket seller looked at her skeptically. “Are you going to Tinbago Crest alone? There’s nothing much to see there, and recum buses are infrequent. If you miss the last bus, you’ll be stuck”
Rebecca didn’t look like she owned a phone or a watch since she was dressed plainly with just a sack slung over her shoulder.
Having grown up in the countryside, she was used to judging time by observing the weather while doing farm work. She was confident in her timekeeping skills. “I’ll be fine. I know what I’m doing
it’s ten dollars for a round trip, but make sure you catch the return bus. It leaves on time and won’t wait for anyone
