His Precious Love

Chapter 36 You Have Not Left

Looking intently into the man’s obsidian eyes, she froze and stammered, “J-Jefferson Hamilton?”

Is he wearing brown contact lenses?

“Ah! It seems that my disguise is a failure. Belle, I’m impressed. You still managed to recognize me.” After a spin, Jefferson leaned closer to her and chuckled beside her ear. “It’s been a while since I last danced with you.”

The moment Rayna recognized him, her whole body stiffened as she froze on the spot. However, Jefferson was still able to effortlessly guide her to keep up with his pace.

When the waltz music was gradually replaced by sentimental music, the other couples embraced each other and swayed lightly.

Jefferson took off the mask to reveal his stunning face. Leaning his head against Rayna’s neck, he could smell her faint fragrance. It turned him on instantly, and he could barely refrain from wrapping his arms around her.

Unable to retract her hand from his grasp, Rayna snarled, “Jefferson Hamilton, why on earth did you come to Hawen?”

She had had enough of the man tailing her throughout the years.

Turning a deaf ear to her question, Jefferson stated solemnly, “Belle, Curtis Faymon is not a man of virtue. He’s taking advantage of you.”

“What about you?” Unequivocally, she was fully aware that Curtis helped her numerous times only because he needed her help as well. Moreover, she thought Curtis was a lot more decent than Jefferson.

The trauma that Jefferson elicited from her would continue to haunt her for a lifetime.

“You are my Belle, the most precious treasure in my life.” Jefferson kissed her hair and mumbled, “I’ll never lie to you even if I lied to the whole world.”

It was nothing more than a light kiss, but it rendered Rayna’s entire body stiff.

“Belle, Curtis Faymon is aiming to gain a great benefit by providing you a small favor. Don’t you know you’ll only place yourself in a precarious position by assisting him with the collaboration? You should stay by my side instead. I’ll never let anyone hurt you.”

The collaboration again! I had no choice but to help Curtis with the collaboration after he set me up. And now, Jefferson comes to me for the same purpose!

“Jefferson, you’re no different from him.” Rayna snickered as she looked into his eyes. “If I had a choice, I would rather help him.”
