Chapter 225: Chapter 225

“I’ll make tea for us. What do you guys like to drink Tea or Coffee?” Julia looked at Edwin and Sam who were seated on the couch.

‘I’m okay with anything.” Sam answered.

Julia nodded and stared at Edwin, waiting for his response, “What about you Mr. Edwin?”

Edwin raised his head and said, “Tea.”

Julia nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

Sam got busy checking on his phone while Edwin stood from his seat, walking around. Even though it was a small place, he was curious to see the living place of Rebecca. Yes, he came here before also, but the time is not the same as in the past.

He started observing things around when the next moment Rebecca’s room door opening sound caught his attention and he turned his head in that direction.

Rebecca who went for a shower comes out of her room in a fresh cloth and instantly senses his gaze on her.

She looked straight but only Sam was on the couch. She moved her eyes around and soon she caught his eyes.

As soon as she meets his gaze, her normal heart rate turns wilder and she remembers the kiss they shared in the car.

Her face slowly turned pinkish and she could feel his warmth on his lips still. It feels like it happened just now. Her finger automatically moved to her lips which Edwin noticed and could not help but let his lips freely smile with adoration.

Noticing him smiling, she blinked her eyes with doubt. Watching her confused expression Edwin thought to tease her and the next moment he used his finger to touch his lips as a signal.

At first, Rebecca could not understand and frowned but the next time when he pointed his finger at his lips again, She finally looked down and found her finger on her lips.

Her eyes widened with shame and she pulled her finger down too.

Edwin chuckled at her action, which she heard and felt more ashamed.

He felt adoring her at this cute moment. She slowly raised her eyes to glance at his reaction but the next moment her eyelashes lowered with shyness, to see his playful smile.

However, before they could continue their cute silent conversation, Julia’s voice caught their attention.

“Guys, The tea is ready.” Julia comes out from the kitchen with a tray.

Sam moved his eyes from his phone to look in Julia's voice direction and found Rebecca also coming out from his room.

Sam stood from his seat and walked to Julia. He smiled and took the tray from her hand, “Let me do it.” Julia's lips curled up to see his gentlemanly behaviour.

Sam walked to the table and put the tray on before turning and calling Edwin and Rebbeca for tea.

“Boss, Rebecca, come for the tea.”

Edwin and Rebecca nodded and walked to them.

Everyone picked up their cups of tea when Rebecca’s phone rang and she put down the tea back on the table.

“My phone is ringing, let me go and check, until then you all continue,” Saying that, she walked to her room as the phone was there.

Edwin looked at her back when she went inside and he pulled down his teacup on the table to wait for her.

However, Julia noticed that he stopped drinking and instantly said, “Mr. Edwin, She will be back, please continue your tea or it will get cold.”

Sam looked at Edwin and the tea, “Boss, Julia is right. She just walked to pick up the call. It will not take long to come here.

Edwin thought for a moment and then nodded, “Okay.”

Sam and Julia smiled, again continuing their conversation while Edwin’s eyes focused on her room.

As soon as Rebecca picks up the phone from the bed, the phone stops ringing. She unlocked the phone and checked on the call log. However, reading the phone number, she immediately recognizes, It as her house landline number.

Before she could pressure her mind to think why they were calling, the phone again started ringing in her hand. She first thought to avoid it but then finally end up picking it up, “Hello,”

“Rebecca, how dare you!”

“How dare you torcher my poor son at the police station with the help of your rich man!” Mrs. Wilson’s rude voice comes from the other side.

“Torcher?” Her body stiffened for a second before continuing further, “What are you saying? I don’t understand.” Her forehead lines turned visible with a frown while she replied coldly thinking her stepfamily are trying to use new tricks on her to take back the case. “Great, So, Now you are going to deny it? Huh?” Mrs. Wilson's voice filled with hatred and absurdity for her.

“Mrs. Wilson, I don’t know what happened to your son, but it’s not my worry to think for your criminal son”

“You Bitch!” Mrs. Wilson goes insane to hear her.

“No matter how much power you used! I’ll get my son out of that hell! Just Watch!”

“And… Remember! You will never live peacefully in this life, this is a poor mother's curse!” Rebecca’s eyelashes flickered to hear her last words as Mrs. Wilson hangs the phone the next second after yelling and taking out all her anger on her.

Rebecca looked at the blank screen of the phone while her mind repeated her stepmother's words again and again.

“What is she talking about? Torturing Nick?” She mumbled in confusion when someone knocked on her room door and she instantly turned to see that direction.

“Edwin…”

Edwin was standing at the door and looking in her direction with a small smile, “Can I come?”

Rebecca thought about the call and then glanced at Edwin, ‘Could it be? Edwin truly did something to Nick?’ Her mind calculated that and then nodded, “Yeah, please.”

Edwin comes to her with a smile while Rebecca thinks that If he truly asked someone to torture Nick behind her.

“Why are you looking lost? And whose call comes that takes so long to get out?” His face turned serious to see her lost reaction.

Rebecca for a moment thought to hide it but then she changed her mind. She wanted to know if her stepmother is telling the truth or if it is another trick to get her trapped.

“That was Mrs. Wilson’s Call,” She met his eyes and responded.

Edwin's smiling eyes turned serious just in a fling, “For what she called? Is she threatening you again?”

Rebecca without any expression shakes her head lightly, “No, She just called me to yell at me.”

“She yelled at you?” His eyes turned darker.

However, Rebecca stays expressionless, “Yes, Because, The cops torture Nick brutally. And she thinks, ``I used you to get that done.” Rebecca’s word got her question and Edwin immediately realised that and got silent.

His reaction made her know he did that. It means Mrs. Wilson's words were true.

“Why did you do that? He is already inside the prison and will get his punishment.” Rebecca stared at him firmly.

Edwin's hand clenched as he met her eyes the next moment and domineeringly replied, “But I can not wait that long… And anyway it’s not enough…” He paused for a second.

“It’s not enough for him. He drove hell to touch my woman!” His eyes filled with anger when he thought about Nick.

Rebecca's eyelashes flickered to hear him.

Edwin thought she would be angry or yell at him to do that against law but he got shocked when she suddenly walked towards him and hugged him tightly.

“Rebecca…” His heartbeat fastened.

“Edwin…Thank you, I know you did this for me. So, I'm not going to blame you.”

His eyes softened to hear that and he hugged her back, “Thank you for understanding me.”

Rebecca's lips curled up as her arms turned tighter on him. Let her eyes close to feel his heartbeat. Edwin was also lost in her hug.
