Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621

Darren smacked his forehead. “Shoot! I got so caught up in the game that I missed my stop.

Rebecca shrugged, getting off the bus. To her surprise, Darren followed right behind her. She had already walked a good distance before she heard footsteps jogging to catch up.

He wore a helpless, slightly sheepish expression. “My friend just called and said he had to leave suddenly. I’ve got nowhere to go now. Any chance I could come to your place for dinner?”

Rebecca blinked. “Why don’t you just go home?”

“If I go home, I’ll be alone,” Darren said with a cheeky grin. “My parents are overseas on business again.” Rebecca was lost for words. But then, she remembered that Darren had died in real life. His parents, who were in international trade, had taken him abroad for college right after high school.

A pang of sympathy hit her, even in the dream. “Fine. Come with me.”

Darren’s face lit up with genuine delight, and he immediately fell into step beside her. She soon discovered that he was surprisingly entertaining.

He could get excited over the smallest things. He always wore his emotions on his sleeve and had a naturally sweet way with words. By the end of dinner, he had Josette beaming from ear to ear, laughing heartily.

When it grew dark, he knew better than to overstay his welcome. He thanked them warmly and took the bus back by himself.

“Becky, is this a new classmate of yours?” Josette asked curiously. “I don’t remember seeing him at the parent-teacher meeting.”

Rebecca knew exactly what worry lay behind the question. “He’s from the class next door. He came looking for a friend today but couldn’t find them. His parents are often away from home.”

“Oh.” Josette nodded and didn’t press further.

“Becky? You’re awake? Come eat breakfast. I made your favorite pasta with meat sauce,” Josette said with a smile.

Rebecca sat there stunned for a long time.

Just like that, a whole week passed. When she stood at the school bus stop again, waiting to go home, she finally started to believe this wasn’t a dream.

By this time, web novels already existed. She had read stories about rebirth and time travel. Maybe somehow, she had become one of those characters.

While she was lost in thought, someone suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Hey, what’s been going on with you this week?” Vance asked.
