A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 935 The Shivers

As the door swung open, Mrs. Baxter saw the two people by the bed; Rae’s face looked ill but Reuben didn’t seem off. In fact, when he saw her enter, he even let out a slight smile and said in a polite manner, “Auntie, we’re off now, Rae and I have some business to discuss regarding something from seven years ago, can you give us ten minutes!”

Perhaps she was too fearful that her daughter would never marry, Mrs. Baxter felt relieved that such a man took an interest to her daughter, so she smiled and nodded, “No problem, no problem, you two take all the time you need! Even 20 minutes is fine, we’ll just wait outside!”

Mrs. Baxter finished talking and just turned around to leave, she didn’t even pay attention to Rae.

“Hey!” Rae shouted, “Mom, I’ve got nothing to talk to him about!”

“That’s not true! Seven years ago, you two had a misunderstanding; let Reuben tell you about it, you’ll probably remember it, Rae. Besides, you haven’t had a boyfriend all these years, weren’t you waiting for Reuben? Don’t be coy, mom knows what’s best for you!” Mrs. Baxter said and, without even waiting, headed out and shut the door!

Rae’s eyes grew wide; just what kind of mother was she? She completely lacked any sense, leaving her daughter with a man, alone, together. If these were ancient times, it’d be enough to hang them both!

Reuben found her puzzled expression as adorable as always. He looked at her and smiled, “Come now, even your mother’s smitten by me!”

How could this man be so shameless, so… childish?

Rae couldn’t believe just how foolish men could be; Reuben was like this, and Marcel was even more so.

They might look like male role models, but they had a kind heart!

Fine then!

She’d just pretend that her mouth was bit by a rabid dog today, save the need for a rabies shot!

But she really felt sorry for Marcel and Ophelia!

Just what the heck was going on?

Rae stared blankly at Reuben and said, “Mr. James, all the kissing and hitting are done and over with; if you have something to say, hurry up and say it!”

“Seven years ago, you betrayed me!” Reuben opened his mouth and accused her.

Rae was startled, but she didn’t have much doubts about his words.

Her past life must have been quite hectic.

Reuben suddenly added, “But I’m sure you had your reasons! After all, you were only 18!”

Rae looked down, then back up, “I really don’t remember a thing. Whatever you have to say, I have no way to refute. All I can say is, I’ve got no feelings for you, and I won’t marry you!”

“Is it because of Ophelia?” Reuben asked.

Rae shook her head, “Even if she wasn’t around, I wouldn’t!”
