Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 197
"You've gone crazy, huh?" Rachel backed away slowly, staring at Stevia's strange transformation. She looked at the woman with a frowning gaze. What's wrong with you? It's obvious that you're the one looking for trouble first."He looked at Rachel strangely, trying to surmise her reason for suddenly dropping down and acting in front of her. "Suit yourself, I don't want to deal with you." Rachel was ready to leave her by turning to walk away and leave her there.But Stevia prevented her by holding her toes. "I've known you since the beginning. You're the one who's always been rude and mistreated others."Hearing that, Rachel turned around and looked at her, annoyed. "Are you crazy? You know me? When did we ever meet and talk in person? What the hell are you doing? Stop giving me a headache with your talk."Stevia got up slowly and looked weak. She did that on purpose to get the attention of the person who had been watching them. "Yes, I know you. I know you have a bad attitude. Your rep

"No, no, sir. None of that is true. It's just a misunderstanding." Stevia denied that by trying to hold Richard's arm.Richard flicked his arm away from her, making her flinch. "What's not true? You want to call me a liar?"That flat, cold look in Richard's eyes bothered her again, making her blush and feel that she shouldn't be doing this to bother Richard.But he had no choice but to insist that he was not wrong and had not done the things Richard was accusing him of. "Sir, you just don't know me yet. I'm sure there is a misunderstanding between us that causes you to think that way about me. I am not that kind of person, sir. Please understand and give me a chance to explain, sir."Richard was fed up with what she was saying and became even colder towards her. "I was not wrong to see and recognize you. You are what you appear to be in my eyes, so stop talking nonsense and get out of my sight. I don't want to see you again.""No, sir... sir." Stevia panicked. She tried to straighten

"There is no other reason for me to doubt you," Richard added his words.Rachel didn't understand. Just a moment ago, when he came up with the plan to get engaged to her and marry her, she felt angry; she hated that crazy idea and cursed it in her mind, hoping that the plan would be cancelled as soon as possible, even a moment ago she hoped so. Still, right now, she didn't know what she expected.Her finger, between Richard's hands, sent strange signals that tickled her, but she realised that she did not want to escape from the touch and feeling that tickled her. Instead, she wanted the moment to last longer.Richard leads him to a place on the side of the road; a flower shop catches Richard's attention and makes him think of Rachel beside him. So he pulled over and sorted through the flowers there."Afternoon, sir, how can I help you?" The old man who owned the flower shop greeted the couple with a smile.Both smiled simultaneously at the friendly old man, but Richard responded to hi

"What's all this?" Wilona, who opened the door for the arriving guests after the front guard called that someone from Richard's delivery had arrived, now looked surprised.She stared aghast at the well-dressed servants who came carrying many parcels down from their car without stopping. One box after another was unloaded neatly in her living room, but even though they had almost covered the centre of the circle in the room, the parcels were not finished. They finally stopped after putting down one last parcel that needed to be delivered directly to Rachel."Please, sign here, Miss." They gave the receipt letter to Rachel, who had been called down by her mother.She glanced at the piles in confusion, then quickly signed what they asked when her mother pulled her and urged her to do so, not wanting to keep the people waiting.After signing it, she handed them the receipt. "Thank you ladies. We'll take our leave." He bowed politely to both of them.Willona, who was happy, gave them a fri

"Is she still inside?" Richard asked, glancing over at Smith, who stood beside him.Smith turned to him. "Yes, Mr. Richard, she's still in the room. They're likely discussing something important between them. You don't need to worry, they should be done soon."Richard smirked sarcastically. "I'm not so sure. Do you know why? I have a feeling that my father is talking about something that might make her hesitate to marry me. You know, he's capable of that."Smith shook his head. "I don't think so, sir." He turned away, organizing the files scattered around the table. Richard had been busy with work just moments ago, and even now, he was still occupied. Still, he had taken a break because he couldn't stop thinking about what Rachel and his father might be discussing inside.He was confident the conversation was serious. That thought made him anxious, worried that his father might say something to offend Rachel, and there was nothing he could do to defend her."I'm sure Mr. James wouldn'

The long-awaited day had finally arrived, the engagement celebration of Rachel and Richard. The event was held in a luxurious hall, with numerous guests invited to attend. At the front lobby, luxury cars lined up one after another as guests arrived.“Oh my gosh, look at this! How could Mr. Richard overlook me? If only he saw me, I’m sure he would’ve chosen me to be his fiancée,” one of the girls, walking with her friends, complained as they entered the venue.Another woman beside her glanced over, her expression laced with sarcasm. “What are you talking about? Clearly, he wouldn’t pick someone like you.”“But Rachel isn’t that great, either, is she? She’s not impressive at all. I’m from a respectable family too, and I have an amazing personality. I just didn’t manage to catch his attention first,” she continued to complain.The woman at her side laughed and shot her a sideways glance. “Maybe you’re better than her, but that’s probably why Mr. Richard was too overwhelmed to meet you.

“This crowd is really draining me,” Rachel said, glancing at Richard. The two stood on the balcony, gazing at the night view.They exchanged a deep look, trying to understand each other without words, before turning their gaze back forward. Both seemed equally exhausted by the crowd they had just faced.“They swarmed around you like bees, saying things they don’t truly mean,” Richard smiled, lowering his gaze.He found it ironic how their words were the opposite of what they felt. Richard wasn’t trying to be narrow-minded or accuse them, but the truth was, most of them were exactly like that.With all his interactions, Richard realized that people often say sweet things just to make small talk, not because they mean it. He was confident that only a few of them genuinely felt happy about their engagement, while the rest were merely attending because they had to, not wanting to miss out on the event.Most of them showed up only for their own business interests, as it was important for t

"Mr. Richard?" They all stared at Richard in shock, clearly panicking. "Wait, Mr. Richard, you misunderstood! This isn't what it looks like!" The woman tried to explain, waving her hands in frustration.Richard looked at them coldly as he strolled toward Rachel, standing by her side. His eyes fixed on them. "Which part did I misunderstand? I saw and heard everything clearly. You cornered her and tried to bully her all together."The woman waved her hands nervously and tried to approach Richard. "No, sir, that's not true. We weren’t doing that; we were just trying..." She glanced at her friends. We were trying to get some help," she said, then anxiously looked back at Richard. We were just worried about you.""Yes, sir, we’re afraid this woman is taking advantage of you. We didn’t want you to be disappointed or deceived by her," her friend chimed in, trying to explain and win Richard’s trust.They had no intention of apologizing for their behavior towards Rachel. Instead, they tried to

One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel

"Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village

After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach

"Jacob, where are you going?" one of the villagers greeted Richard, who seemed to be walking with an axe in his hand. "Are you heading to the forest?" he asked enthusiastically because he was happy to see Richard, one of the new residents there.Richard, who had just managed to turn around and look for who was talking to him, smiled and nodded. "Morning, Mr. Jack." He politely greeted the old man whom he recognized as Sam's friend."Yes, morning, young man." He smiled kindly in response to Richard's greeting. "If you have time, come to the house. You promised to help me yesterday when you were free."Richard nodded. "Later, when I am free, I will try to drop by, sir. " He selflessly helped some nearby neighbours who needed his help.It had been a month since he had been in that place, and now he was living a very normal life there. Just like everyone else, Richard also had his own activities. Sometimes, he joined some men to go fishing at sea, without him knowing that he used to be a

Sitting in his private room, James looked anxiously at the picture frame containing Richard's picture. For days, he had been waiting for news of Richard and conducted a massive search. But the search was ultimately fruitless. There were still no reports of Richard's whereabouts or any signs of him being stranded somewhere.Her worries grew as time passed. The first 24 hours after Richard disappeared were the golden hour to find his whereabouts and determine whether he was in good or bad condition.But a week had passed since then, and there was still no further news of his whereabouts."Is there still no sign of Richard's whereabouts?" James asked Smith in the room.His anxiety was rife with other things, his heart was in turmoil, and his feelings had become chaotic since Richard's whereabouts were declared missing.The news of Richard's disappearance made him not stop thinking about where Richard was and what the situation was like. His condition, which he continues to worry about, c

"What took you so long to come back?" Alexa, who was waiting there, turned her head and noticed Richard, who had just returned, walking over to her.Richard nodded his head. "In line." he took over the groceries held by Alexa.Telling her about what he experienced while inside earlier, for him, Alexa didn't need to know that the Baron was still bothering him. Apart from not wanting to make the woman anxious, he also didn't want Alexa to have a particular view of his attitude that could be considered rude by her.He smiled at the woman. "Do we have anything else to do? Or do you want us to go home?"Alexa helped Richard carry a few easy things to take to not burden Richard too much. "Let's just go home; it's too late. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to store breakfast because Dad will be leaving early in the morning." She started to leave the place, followed by Richard, who walked beside her."Tomorrow morning? Where is Sam going?""Dad said there is someone he needs to help. One of t

Alexa glanced at Richard with a gaze that stared strangely at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard, who realized her gaze, then asked.Alexa headed back to stare straight ahead. "I was just wondering. How could you do that? When you did it earlier, I looked so expert. Unlike someone who just tried, your posture and then the techniques you used seemed to clearly show that you were an expert." She looked back at Richard in confusion. "Tell me, how did you do it?"Richard looked at her in silence for a while. Like Alexa, he was confused by what had been done. He did not expect that his ability was that great.The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He obviously didn't remember anything at all., but strangely, he could do it all so well. "I don't know., Richard shook his head as he replied. "I'm not sure myself what I'm doing and how I'm doing it so well. All I feel is that my body knows how to do it." He explained the confusion to Alexa.After hearing

"No, it can't be like that. I disagree that I should stay away from her." Baron rejected their agreement, which he agreed to without thinking.Obviously, Baron rejected Richard's request to limit his interaction with Alexa. He dared challenge Richard and felt hateful and annoyed at him because Alex was the reason. He didn't want any other man or Richard to get close to him.Baron has liked Alexa for a long time, and Jack, from their teenage stuff, has always followed and been attracted to her. But his feelings were unrequited because Alexa didn't show any interest in him at all.The Baron knew that. He knew that Alexa didn't like him, but he still tried to get close to her, hoping that someday Alexa would change her mind. He kept trying and never gave up because he thought that maybe his efforts would be rewarded with what he hoped for someday.But if he couldn't get close to her in the end just because he lost the bet, then his efforts all this time were futile and ridiculous.He sho

The two of them were now in their respective positions, wearing a set of arrows and getting ready in place. He arrows where they were. They were surrounded by people who wanted to witness the showdown between the two.On one side, Richard only came along with Alexa, who was currently so nervous and anxious about the possibility of Richard's condition getting a bad name with this challenge.On the other hand, Baron was surrounded by friends who were eager to see Richard defeated. The young men of the village clearly disliked Richard's existence and the way Richard behaved towards them.Specifically, they didn't need a reason to dislike Richard because even just looking at him could immediately make them dislike him and want to look down on him."Shouldn't you undo your intentions, Jacob?" Alexa approached him again and spoke in a worried tone.She was distraught, having promised her father that she would look after Richard. She would take Richard there with the insight that maybe from
