Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 668

Chapter 668

“There were so many people on the bus. What was there to be afraid of?” Rebecca said matter–of–factly.

The road was lined with sycamore trees and bustling crowds. They walked through the throng in silence.

“Rebecca…” Vance tried several times to speak, but waves of people kept interrupting. By the time they reached the building, he still hadn’t gotten the chance. /

Rebecca had no idea he wanted to talk. At the bakery entrance, she waved. “Bye, I’m heading up.”

He watched her leave, swallowing the words he wanted to say.

Rebecca finished dance practice two hours later. She had arranged for Gabriel to pick her up, but he got stuck in traffic and would arrive in 20 minutes.

She debated whether to wait on the sidewalk or go back into the building to browse the mall. When stre turned around, Vance was seen standing behind her.

“Are you off work?” she asked casually.

“Almost,” he said, gazing at the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

She had tied her hair into a high bun, revealing her slender neck. She looked as elegant as a white swan.

“Waiting for your ride?” He had noticed her checking her phone earlier.

“Yeah.”

“When will it arrive?”

“In around 20 minutes.”

“Then come inside and sit for a while. It’s too out here.”

He invited her into the shop. The heat had made her nose tip/sweaty.

“O–kay.”

That was a relief. Otherwise, he would have doubted if the person in front of him was really Rebecca.

“Though actually, we should eat these, too. We can add grilled chicken breast and broccoli for a low–carb, high–protein meal,” she said while continuing to select.”

Vance didn’t follow up. His mind wasn’t on the conversation.

“Rebecca…” He finally decided to say what was on his mind. “The other day I went to your classroom and saw Darren’s crystal ball.”

Rebecca’s hand holding the bread stiffened slightly.

“It’s beautiful. Must have taken a lot of time,” he probed.

“They’re just fancy but useless things,” she replied casually, then realized those words might be misleading.
