Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 49

At the same time, the Carter family’s car arrived at the Courthouse entrance. Patrick and Debra then hurried inside to look for Rebecca and Theodore, but after searching for a long time, they couldn’t find them.

They then started to wonder where Rebecca and Theodore could be.

Patrick was confused, while Debra felt a sense of dread.

“I’ll call Becky,” she said. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

With that, Debra pulled out her phone, clicked open her contacts, located Rebecca’s number, and dialed it.

Meanwhile, Rebecca ran quite far before she stopped. She stood alone at a busy intersection, feeling a sudden wave of sadness as she watched the traffic rush by.

Everything sped by her, just like how life seemed to rush past..

Just then, Rebecca’s phone suddenly rang, and it snapped her out of her daze.

She looked down at her purse and took out her phone. When Rebecca saw her mom’s name on the caller ID, it felt as if her heart, which had been plummeting into a dark abyss, had landed in a blooming spring garden.

Rebecca thought, “It doesn’t matter if Theodore isn’t in my life anymore. I still have my mom, dad, brothers, and my babies. I have plenty of family who love me.‘

She then smiled and answered the phone seriously, her voice carrying a tenderness and dependence that even Rebecca herself didn’t notice, “Mom.”

Debra’s worries eased when she heard her daughter’s voice. She then quickly asked, “Where are you now, Becky? We’re already at the Courthouse, but we haven’t seen you.”

“We didn’t go to the Courthouse, Mom. We’re at the Civil Registry Office,” Rebecca replied.

“What?” Debra was bewildered and frowned, “Why are you at the Civil Registry Office?”

Rebecca didn’t really want to talk about what had happened at the Civil Registry Office, but since it was her mom, she felt it was okay.

With that in mind, she told her mom about Theodore wanting to change their children’s last names.

Debra was furious and started sweaDut when she found out her daughter hadn’t agreed to his demand and had left that jerk, she felt relieved.

“It’s okay. As long as you don’t agree, he can’t change anything,” Debra reassured her daughter.

Afterward, she quickly added, “Becky, where are you now? We’ll come to pick you up right away.”

Rebecca then told her mom her location.

“Okay. Stay right there and don’t leave. We’ll come to get you right away. Don’t worry.” Debra comforted.

“Okay,” Rebecca agreed.

Debra hung up the phone, immediately went to find her husband, and pulled him outside in a hurry.

Once they were back in the car, she couldn’t help but keep grumbling angrily.

Patrick saw how furious his wife was and felt a bit helpless. He comforted her. “It’s okay. We’ll handle this step by step. As long as we’re here, Theodore can’t bully our daughter anymore.”

Debra thought about it and nodded, agreeing, “That’s right!”

She pondered firmly, ‘The Carter family is not to be messed with. With us backing our precious daughter, the Edwards family won’t stand a chance at bullying her!”

Back at the intersection, Rebecca put down the phone and felt her heart gradually settle down.

She then waited calmly for her parents to come pick her up.

In just a short while, the Carter family’s car arrived and stopped in front of Rebecca.

She opened the car door and got in.

Rebecca had just settled in the car when Debra asked worriedly, “What happened? Did he hit you? Are you alright?”

Rebecca shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Although Theodore had deeply disappointed her, she still felt he had one good trait, which was that no matter how badly they argued, he never hit her. At most, he would break things around the house.

But since he always paid to replace those things later, Rebecca didn’t mind.

Debra breathed a sigh of relief but still snorted, “It’s good he knows better. If he ever dared hit you, I’d never let him off easily!”

Rebecca suddenly laughed and turned to look at her mother to reassure her, “Mom, I’m really okay. The past is the past. Now, we just need to get the divorce.”

Debra nodded. “Right.”

Afterward, they returned home together. Just as they walked in, they heard the children crying and immediately

rushed inside.

“What’s going on?” Rebecca and Debra worriedly asked in unison.

“Ms. Lillian Carter and Mr. Kevin Carter just woke up and immediately started looking. They might have beent looking for their mom. Since you guys had just stepped out, they started crying,” the nanny explained.

She quickly went over and scooped Key into her arms,

Nearby, Lily, who was being looked after by the nanny, also saw her mom. She had been crying her heart out just moments ar

but now she immediately stopped. The shimmering tears still clung to her eyes, but those bright and clear eyes were now fixed on her mom.

Lily stared at her mom intently until she picked up Kev. At that moment, Lily got anxious and reached out her little. hands, asking to be held as well.

Debra then tried to pick up Lily.

But Lily didn’t want her grandma. She wanted her mom, believing her mom’s embrace was different.

Rebecca felt a mix of joy and helplessness as she watched the kids. She walked over to the sofa, sat down, and had the nanny gently put both children in her arms.

Though it was tiring to hold both babies, the sight of their love for her made her feel incredibly blessed.

Over at Evergrande Entertainment, Lisa looked at Lesley in shock. “Did you say Becky bought Glamour Closet clothes too? And the latest collection at that?”

Lesley nodded. “Yes. When I went shopping that day, I happened to run into them. Becky bought every piece from Glamour Closet’s newest collection.”

She then looked at Lisa and said pitifully, “Lisa, I really can’t afford the latest Glamour Closet collection…”

With a furrowed brow, Lisa looked at Lesley, clearly upset.

‘Did you ask Becky…if they’re planning to compete for the Glamour Closet endorsement?” Lisa asked again.

Lesley was stunned for a moment after hearing her and then shook her head. “I didn’t and I have no idea.”

Lisa took the clothes Lesley had bought and replied with a frown, “Forget it. I’ll explain this to Janet. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Lesley breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded. “Mm–hmm, okay.”

After sending Lesley away, Lisa took the clothes and went straight to find Janet.

When Janet heard what Lisa had to say, Janet’s face darkened, and she asked, “Why would Rebecca buy Gl

Closet’s clothes?

“Did you guys let it slip that I’m competing for the Glamour Closet endorsement, and she bought those clo

purpose?”

“Janet, we…we didn’t see this coming.” Lisa said anxiously.

With that, she looked down at the clothes in her hand and added, “Janet, I really don’t think it matters.

“Rebecca is merely a rookie. Even if she competes for the Glamour Closet endorsement, with you in the

competition, they will choose you, not her.

“You’re an award–winning actress. Glamour Closet wouldn’t pass over you for a rookie.”
