    C he said, pointing at the cashier. “Really? Jacob was unsure but he left anyway. Reba didn’t want Jacob to hear their ridiculous conversation.


    <b>“</b>Why did he go into your apartment? Do you two live together?” Harvey asked irritably.


    Reba frowned. “It’s none of youness. Look at you! A few minutes ago, you were soposed, and now you look like a jealous teenager,” she said, grabbing her bag, ready to leave.


    But Harvey grabbed her hand. “Where are you going? You can’t avoid me like this!”


    Reba yanked her hand away, her eyes zing with anger. “I’m going home, Harvey. And you have no right to stop me.”


    Harvey’s expression softened, the irritation giving way to desperation. “Please, Becky. I just want to talk. I need <i>to </i>understand what’s going on.”


    Reba took a deep breath, trying to keep herposure. “What’s going on is that I’ve moved on. You can’t just waltz back into my life and expect things to be the same. I’ve wasted my time and I don’t want to do that


    at again.”


    Jacob, who had been watching the exchange from the counter, approached cautiously. “Becky, do you need help?” he asked, his voice calm but firm.


    Reba gave him a grateful look. “It’s okay, Jacob. I can handle this.”


    Harvey nced at Jacob, his jaw tightening. “I don’t need you interfering,” he snapped.


    Jacob stood his ground, his eyes locked on Harvey. “I’m not interfering. I’m making sure Becky is okay. You’re the one causing a scene.”


    Reba stepped between them, her voice cold. “Enough, both of you. Harvey, <b>if </b>you really care about me, you’ll respect my decision and leave me alone.”


    <b>Harvey’s </b>shoulders sagged<b>, </b>the fight draining out of him. “I just wanted to talk,” he <b>murmured</b>.


    <b>“</b><b>We’ve </b>talked enough.” Reba replied, her tone softer but still firm. “Now, please go.”


    Harvey looked at her for a long moment, then nodded reluctantly. “Alright, Becky. I’ll go. But this isn’t over.”


    Reba took a deep breath as she watched Harvey walk away. She felt a pang of longing and confusion but knew she needed to stay strong.


    Jacob; I’ll go upstairs,” she said and left the café. Suddenly, a question crossed her mind. She quickly half–ran after Harvey and intercepted him, surprising him.


    “You changed your mind?” he asked, his eyes sparkling with hope.


    Reba shook her head, her breath still short. She swallowed hard, then looked up Harvey’s eyes. “I want to ask about Mia. Is she okay?”


    Harvey looked surprised. He gazed at Reba, trying to understand what was going through her mind. “You still think about the person involved in the crime you experienced? Do you really care, or are you just curious?” he asked tly.

    Reba waved her hand dismissively. “You know what? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to,” she said irritably. She turned to return to her apartment, but Harvey pulled her tightly, making her fall into his arms.


    They looked at each other in silence, emotions intensifying.


    Reba hurriedly pulled away, clearing her throat nervously.


    Harvey scratched his forehead, looking awkward. “Mia is in the same prison as Alicia. If she gets out sooner than she should, it must be my parents‘ doing. I had no involvement. I’m as angry as you are. Even though she’s my sister, that doesn’t change the fact that she’s guilty.”


    Reba nodded slowly<b>, </b>processing Harvey’s words. “I’m d to hear you’re not involved in that mess,” she said quietly. “But it doesn’t change what happened, Harvey. It doesn’t erase the pain.”


    Harvey’s shoulders sagged with the weight of his regret. “I know, Becky. I know.”


    Reba nodded, then turned and walked slowly back to her apartment. She knew Jacob

    <b>was </b>watching her from inside the cafe, but she deliberately pretended not to see him, wanting to be alone.


    Back in her apartment, Reba sank into the couch, feeling emotionally drained. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind, but she was determined to move forward. She picked up her phone and sent a quick text to Cathy. She needed to work, and she needed distractions.


    “Cathy, I haven’t said this, but thank you for always being there for me. Let’s catch up again soon.”


    A few momentster, Cathy replied. “Absolutely! Anytime you need me, I’m here.”


    Reba smiled, feelingforted by her friend’s support. She nced around her apartment, her eyesnding on the window where she often sat and reflected. The city lights twinkled outside, reminding her that life continued to move forward, no matter how challenging things might be.


    “Everything will be alright, Becky. You’ve done your best, she thought, patting her back three times. She felt much better after that.


    The next morning, Reba woke up feeling better. She decided it was time to focus on her career again and take back control of her life. She reached out to her clients, letting them know she was ready to get back to work. The responses were overwhelmingly positive, and Reba felt a sense of excitement about the future.


    One afternoon, as she was working on a project in her apartment, there was a knock on the door. She opened it to find Jacob standing there with a small potted nt in his hands.

    “Hey, I thought you could use a little greenery in here,” he said with a warm smile. Reba chuckled, epting the nt. “Thanks, Jacob. That’s really sweet of you.” Jacob shrugged modestly. “I just thought it might brighten up your ce a bit. And if you ever need a break, you’re always wee at the café. I haven’t seen you in a while.” Reba smiled. “I appreciate that. You’ve been a great friend, Jacob. Thank you.” Jacob scratched the back of his neck. “Um, I have two opera tickets for tomorrow. Would you like to go with me?”


    Reba fell silent, suddenly remembering Nichs. She was afraid Jacob would

    His touch sent a shiver down her spine, and she found herself leaning into his hand. The walls she had built around her heart began to crumble as she looked into his eyes. “Harvey, L…”


    Before she could finish her sentence, Harvey closed the distance between them, capturing her lips in a desperate kiss. All their buried needs and emotions rose to the surface. Reba wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer as the kiss deepened.


    They tumbled onto the floor, releasing the longing they had held back for months. Reba held her breath as Harvey removed her clothes one by one. She had never fe more aroused than she did at that moment. She moved eagerly, contradicting her  that she needed time to embrace Harvey, as her body had different demands.

    Reba eventually looked up at Harvey. “We can’t ignore the problems we face. There’s so much to deal with.”


    “I know,” Harvey replied, his voice steady. “But we can face them together. No more running away.”


    Reba couldn’t hold back her tears. “No more running away<i>, </i>but would you still love me even if all of your family hates me? Mia, your parents, and-”


    “Ssh, let’s take it one step at a time. We’ll figure it out,” Harvey said softly.


    Reba smiled with a hint of hope in her eyes. “You’re right. It’s a baby step, isn’t it?”


    Just as they were about to delve into the issues they faced before and after their divorce, the doorbell rang loudly. Reba frowned, hesitant to open the door, assuming it was Jacob. However, the bell kept ringing incessantly, They exchanged nces and hurriedly checked the monitor.


    “It’s your mother,” whispered Reba as she saw Victoria, furiously pressing the bell several times.


    Reba’s heart raced. She wasn’t scared, but she had that trauma in her head.


    “Oh my God, should we open it?” Reba asked, confused.


    “Just go to your room,” said Harvey.


    “Are you

    No, Im <b>going </b>to <b>stay </b>here<b>, </b>no more running away,” said Reba, even though she was <b>wded </b><b>to </b>death.


    After taking a deep breath, she slowly opened the door. Victoria immediately pushed <b>her </b>way in and pped Reba hard across the cheek, drawing fresh blood from the corner of her lips. Reba trembled, holding back tears.


    Harvey quickly ran to Reba, shielding her from his mother, who was still seething <b>with </b>anger. “Mom! Stop it! STOP!” Harvey shouted in despair, unable to strike his own mother. He stood there, protecting Reba, bing her shield, and endured his mother’s punches and blows.


    “How can you be so shameless! You threw my beloved daughter in prison, and now you’re trying to manipte my son again? You’re even worse than Alicia, you should know that!” Victoria raged, her voice filled with madness.


    “Mom, enough! Enough! Can you stop ming others for our own sins? I was the one who sought out Becky. I was the one who asked her toe back. So control yourself, or you know what will happen,” Harvey threatened shakily.


    “WHAT WILL HAPPEN? HUH? ARE YOU TRYING TO THREATEN ME?” barked Victoria, still trying to reach Reba and p her.


    “I have the authority to manage grandfather’s inheritance. I can remove anyone from the list of heirs at any time,” Harvey said coldly. He knew his mother could always be swayed by money, and that was something he was never proud of.


    Victoria red, her eyes nearly popping out. You’ll see, Becky! You’ll never be able to live in peace! I’ll find a thousand Alicias to hurt you!” she hissed hatefully. She spat on Reba’s rug and walked away with her chin held high.

    Harvey cupped her face gently, his eyes filled with determination. “You’re not the reason, Becky. This is my decision. I want to be with you. We can make this work matter what my family thinks. I’m so sick of them!”


    Reba searched his eyes, looking for any sign of doubt, but found none. She no slowly, her heart heavy with the weight of their situation. “I don’t know. It feels s wrong. You just came back, and I don’t know if this is too fast!”


    She sat limply on the sofa, never imagining that a bad day could be so terrible th there was no room for her to smile. Harvey looked deeply at her, then held both hands. “I know, but I’ve never been more sure than I am today. Are you with me you give it a chance?”


    Reba gulped, unable to lie to herself. She nodded, but no words came out of mouth.

I don’t care about my m anymore, I just want to be happy. I’ve never fallen in love like I love you. I don‘ waste my time dealing with my crazy family. I’m so done.”


    Reba blinked, processing his words. “What Harvey, are you serious? We jus again, had sex, and now you want to get married? Have you lost your mind?”

    “But what about our jobs? Our friends? Everything we’ve built here?” Reba asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty.


    “We’ll figure it out,” Harvey assured her. “We’ll find new jobs and make new friends. <b>As </b>long as we’re together, that’s all that matters.”


    Reba took a deep breath, considering his proposal. It was a drastic, impulsive step, but maybe it was the only way to escape the toxic influence of Harvey’s family. She nodded slowly, a small spark of hope igniting in her chest. “Okay. Let’s do it.”


    It was the bravest and most impulsive decision she had ever made in her whole life.


    Harvey’s face lit up with relief and joy. He pulled her into a tight embrace, kissing her forehead. “I promise you, Becky, everything’s going to be alright. We’ll make it through this together. Our bad history won’t be repeated. I’ll make sure of that.”


    They spent the next few hours packing essentials and making ns. Harvey called a friend to borrow his car, exining that they needed to leave town for a while. By midnight, they were on the road, leaving their old lives behind.


    As they drove through the night, the tension slowly cased. Harvey kept ncing at Reba, reassuring her with smiles and gentle touches. They talked about their dreams, their hopes for the future, and the life they wanted to build together. It felt like an adventure, an exciting journey into the unknown. They kept the topic of Alicia and Nichs behind. They didn’t want to open that wound again.


    “Where should we go first?” Reba asked, gazing out at the dark highway stretching before them.


    “How about the coast?” Harvey suggested. “I’ve always wanted to live by the ocean.”


    Reba smiled, imagining the salty breeze and the sound of waves crashing on the shore. “The coast sounds perfect.” Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    They drove through the night, stopping only for gas and quick snacks. After several hours, they reached a small coastal town named Orien Point at the ind’s edge that seemed plucked from a postcard. Quaint houses with colorful facades lined the streets, and the smell of the sea filled the air.

    Reba couldn’t believe what she had just done. “I need to call Cathy and tell her everything. What happened today is beyond my imagination,” she said, half–choking.


    “Do you regret it? We can go back to the city if you want. I don’t want to hold you here unless you want to stay.”


    Reba let out a long sigh. “Of course, I want to stay. It’s just that it happened in less than twenty–four hours! It’s insane, and honestly, I’m afraid you’re going to change your mind and leave me like before,” she said, half–crying.


    Harvey cupped her face and kissed her lips gently. “That won’t happen. I’ll stay by your side. I promise!” he said earnestly. No one knew, but he had been tired of dealing with his crazy family for a long time. After his grandfather died, he felt like he was losing hope, and that’s why he didn’t understand how to love someone properly.


    They were just about to lie down to rest while watching the news when suddenly…
