Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 218
Richard's POVRichard carefully carried Naomi to a quiet, secluded spot, away from prying eyes. He gently set her down near where he stood, then took off his shirt and spread it on the ground. "Sit here for a moment," he said, helping Naomi to sit down. Though the girl looked confused, she obeyed Richard and sat there, watching him as he stood up again. "I'll be back soon," he said before hurrying away. As promised, he returned shortly afterward, holding a first-aid kit. Naomi gave Richard a puzzled look. She hadn't expected to find someone like him among her father's workers. Honestly, she was quite impressed—not only was Richard handsome with a pleasant voice, but he was also acting like a true gentleman toward her. "Where did you get that?" she asked, glancing at the first-aid kit in Richard's hands. "This?" Richard lifted the box slightly before sitting down beside her. "It's from the workroom. Sometimes it's used for minor injuries. First-aid treatment," he explained

"You're here?" Naomi, who had been wandering around searching for Richard, finally found him busy moving packages from a delivery truck.Richard quickly put the box down and tried to shield Naomi from the view of the other workers. "What's wrong? Why are you here, miss?" She shouldn't have been there, and Richard anxiously glanced around, worried that Naomi's overseers might see them together, which could expose their closeness.If anyone found out about their relationship, it could ruin Richard's plan to get close to Naomi or worse, create problems for him."I came looking for you." Like him, Naomi nervously scanned their surroundings, then quickly grabbed Richard's arm and led him away.Richard let himself be pulled along, though he feigned confusion. "Miss... miss? Where are you taking me?" he asked in a panicked tone.Naomi kept hold of his hand, glancing back briefly. "Stop talking. You'll be fine with me. I won't put your life at risk." She spoke with such seriousness that Richa

Richard's POV"Kevin," Naomi called out to Richard, who was busy working, ignoring the curious stares of the other workers who peeked at them.Lately, with their increasing closeness, Naomi didn’t hesitate to show up and whisk him away to accompany her or be her conversation partner. Richard had once told her that he might not always be able to accompany her during the day since he had to focus on his work.However, whatever Naomi did, Richard didn’t know. The next day, there were no complaints when he disappeared in the middle of working hours and stayed away for a while just to listen to Naomi talk about various things, most of which were endless complaints despite him being there for days. It seemed like the woman never ran out of things to complain about."Yes, Miss? What is it?" He immediately left work and approached Naomi, who was waiting for him.Naomi pointed toward the car, waiting for them. "Grab your things and come with me." She looked at Richard, who seemed momentarily c

"I don't know what else my father needs until he made me involved in this exhausting escape. I'm really fed up." Naomi passionately vented her frustrations about her current situation.Richard glanced at her, then shifted his gaze away. The word "fed up" she uttered made him involuntarily draw a tight breath. He knew that feeling well because he, too, felt utterly fed up with his life. But what else could he do besides living his life well and trying to maintain what he had?After all he had been through, he knew better than anyone the meaning of being fed up, and had tried as hard as he could in every aspect of his life—whether it was the effort to build something under pressure, to gain his parents' trust, or to be acknowledged. He had tried far more than the woman in front of him had.At least her father, as far as Richard had learned, was kinder than his own father when it came to affection. Her father protected Naomi’s existence and didn’t involve her directly until now. Meanwhil

Smith stared at his tablet screen with a serious expression. Something he received prompted him to rush to the IT room in the same building where he was. “Check the message I just sent immediately,” he commanded as he entered and approached the team.Three individuals in front of their computers glanced briefly at Smith before quickly starting the task. “Is this a message from Mr. Richard, sir?” Nick, who was handling the message, asked while focusing on his screen.Smith nodded and positioned himself beside Nick to observe his work. “Yes, it appears so. From the contents, I’m certain this is from Mr. Richard,” he said confidently.Smith had reason to believe this. Even though they needed to be cautious and verify the authenticity of any sudden messages claiming to be from Richard, something in the wording made Smith sure it was him. Richard used a specific language when communicating with Smith, which only the two would understand, even if Richard was not physically present.“Mr. Ric

"So, Richard has returned?" Rachel sprang up from her seat in surprise, her usually calm face lighting up with joy. "Are you sure he’s back?" she asked Wayne, still standing by after delivering the news.Wayne, who was stationed at the Thompson residence due to the ongoing safety concerns for Rachel and the lack of further instructions, had just received word from Smit regarding the possibility of Richard being found."Yes, ma'am." He nodded. "The news isn’t entirely clear yet, but Sir Smit is verifying the message he received by heading to the location where it originated." Wayne relayed the information exactly as he had received it.Rachel’s face relaxed with relief. She had spent days anxiously awaiting news about Richard, worried and restless. She had no idea whether Richard was ill or in a difficult situation.This time, she hoped that the message was from Richard and not some cruel trick. "Take me there, to where they are confirming his whereabouts. I want to see him in person,"

Richard adjusted his expression to appear cheerful as possible, attempting to deceive the person who had just caught him. As he discreetly tucked the device back into his pocket, he asked, "Nothing, sir. What do you mean?" while keeping his gaze fixed on Adam standing before him.Adam stared at him intently, clearly suspicious of Richard, as if trying to uncover something Richard was hiding. “Talking about strange things with the young lady again, I’ve noticed this every time we meet. Didn’t I warn you to stay away from her?” he emphasized sternly.Every time Adam encountered Richard and Naomi together, it disturbed him. The closeness between them felt strange. Naomi wasn’t from their circle; she was the daughter of their superior, someone they were supposed to protect. Yet Richard frequently spent time with her, treating her like a peer and exchanging ideas with her freely, as if they were equals.The sight of their growing closeness made Adam uncomfortable. "You keep ignoring my war

"Ah, why are they suddenly moving so fast?" he muttered in frustration.His current situation was different than expected, though he had anticipated such a possibility beforehand. Something he had planned might not go as expected, but this time, it was beyond his imagination.Richard thought the main problem would be dealing with Naomi. He had faced difficulties with her before—Naomi was somewhat unpredictable. Sometimes, she would oppose his words too much, making him wonder whether she would comply with his suggestion to go on vacation, especially since he had declined her invitation to join her.But it turned out the problem lay with Adam. Adam, who had been around Naomi this whole time, watched Richard's behaviour closely. He was full of suspicion towards Richard, and it was this suspicion that led to the current situation."I need to get out of this mess quickly," Richard thought, searching for a way out. His eyes scanned for an escape route, but he found none.Behind him, he hea

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
