Mr. Williams Wants His Ex-Wife Back novel Chapter 149

Because everyone slept late last night, Arthur and Julia also got up a little late in the morning, therefore, breakfast was also late.

After breakfast, Rebecca took out a copy of the "Heart Sutra" that she had transcribed and handed it to Arthur with both hands. She smiled slightly and said, "Dad, yesterday was your birthday but you were busy all day, so I didn't have a chance to give this copy of the "Heart Sutra" to you. I wish you good health and live a long life."

Knowing Arthur was having his sixtieth birthday, Rebecca couldn't think of anything as the present. She happened to see a copy of the "Prajna Paramita's Heart Sutra" on Arthur's desk, so she decided to make a copy of it as the present. She stayed up for a few nights to transcribe herself.

Looking at the thread-bound version of the "Heart Sutra" in Rebecca's hands, which looked like an antique hand-written book, Arthur's eyes lit up and he took it immediately.

When he opened it, the calligraphy of every page, every column, every sentence, every word in it was beautiful and smooth. He could tell that the transcriber had put her effort into every stroke.

"Did you transcribe it yourself?" After flipping through a few pages, Arthur looked at Rebecca lovingly and asked with joy.

Adam looked at the handwritten "Heart Sutra" in Arthur's hands. What came into his mind was the scene that more than a year ago, when he was invited to give a speech at the New York University, he looked through the crowd and saw Rebecca outside the crowd at his first glance.

At that time, Rebecca was only nineteen years old. She had just finished her first year of graduate study. She was holding a few books and was carrying a backpack. She was standing at the back of the room. Her young face, which looked immature, looked at him with a faint sadness. For a moment, her dark eyes were clear and bright, filled with starlight.

At that time, he was surrounded by many students. When he answered a few questions for them and wanted to look for Rebecca, she was already gone.

Somehow, he left the room immediately in the direction that she might have gone.

Just in time, he saw a notebook fall from the books she was holding, but she did not notice it.

He ran over, picked up the book, caught up with her, and stopped her.

"Hey, you dropped your notebook."

"Your name is Rebecca Smith?"

"The handwriting is beautiful. I like it."

Adam thought that he had forgotten these things, these scenes, and what he had said to Rebecca.

It was only until now that he realized that he had not forgotten anything. Everything was so clear to him as if it just happened a second ago.

Rebecca looked at Arthur and nodded with a smile. "Yeah, I don't know what to give dad as a present. I saw a copy of the "Heart Sutra" on your desk, so I transcribed this one for you."

"Oh, you are so sweet!" Arthur closed the "Heart Sutra" in his hands and nodded with a smile. "This is the most thoughtful birthday present I've ever received. Rebecca, thank you so much."

Rebecca smiled lightly. "It's great that you like it."

Arthur liked it. Rebecca was obviously happy about the results.

On the other side, Julia felt depressed and upset looking at Rebecca's smug look.

"By the way, are you going to Paris to be an exchange student soon?" Thinking of something, Arthur asked.

Rebecca nodded. "Yes, I had booked the flight. I will go next Friday."

"That's in a hurry!" Arthur frowned slightly, took a deep look at Adam beside him, and said to Mr. Williams, the butler, "transfer one million dollars to Rebecca's account later today."

"Dad, you don't need to do that. I have enough money." Rebecca refused immediately.

"Arthur, Rebecca accepted three big red envelopes from my mother's family yesterday. How could she be short of money? Don't spoil her all the time. It would..."

"Mom, Rebecca didn't accept those three red envelopes. She gave them to me. I'll give them back to you later." Before Julia could finish her sentence in a depressed voice, Adam interrupted her without saving Julia, his mother, any face.

"Really... Really?!" Looking at Adam and Rebecca, Julia Scott didn't believe that.

Adam frowned and looked straight at Mr. Williams, the butler. "please go to my room and take the red envelope down from the small round table."

"Yes, Mr. Williams." Mr. Williams, the butler nodded and immediately turned around and went upstairs.

Julia glanced at Mr. Williams, the butler who left, and then at Rebecca. She pressed her lips together and stopped talking.
