His Precious Love

Chapter 218 Unknowing Reunion 2

“You’re smart. I’m surprised you could come up with this idea.” Rayna gave him a thumbs-up before raining on his parade. “However, there’ll be a lot of people when Mr. Faymon marries your mother. The security will be tight, and strangers won’t be allowed in. Moreover, doing that will hurt your mother’s reputation.”

“What then?” Carl rested his cheek on his palm and frowned. “I can’t possibly watch my mother marry him, right? What about this? I’ll make a fuss when they marry. I’ll say I’m Mr. Faymon’s illegitimate child!”

Rayna’s brows twitched. She dared not imagine the chaotic scene that would ensue after the boy’s declaration. “Have you forgotten about how your mother doesn’t allow you to appear outside?”

Carl sighed. “I wish Daddy’s back. If he comes back, everything will be resolved. I miss him too.”

Rayna pursed her lips.

She desperately wished she could tell him that his father was right by his side, but who was she to tell that secret to him?

“Rayna.”

Right then, Rayna heard someone calling her. When she lifted her head, she saw Theodore entering the restaurant, his expression far darker than it usually was.

“Quick! Put on your mask! Do it now!” Rayna whispered to Carl, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest. Right as Carl put on his mask, Theodore reached their table.

“Perfect timing. I was about to call you,” Rayna said.

“Have you lost your mind?” Theodore snarled as he hunched over. “I told you this is a private contract, and you told everyone about it?”

Not knowing what Theodore was going on about, Rayna drew her brows together and snapped, “Mr. Xavier, you were the one who went back on your words! Your mother came for a coffee with me an hour ago, saying that she knew about the contract and that she wanted to matchmake us.”

She then showed Theodore her reddened wrist. “She even said she brought a gift for me and instantly forced the bracelet on my wrist. Look at how red my wrist became just to get that bracelet off!”

The gaze in Theodore’s eyes changed when he glanced at her wrist. “You weren’t the one to tell my mother about it?”

“Did you think I was the one to tell your mother about the contract?” Rayna asked as she realized what was going on. After rolling her eyes, she continued, “You’re involved in this contract too. I’d say you were the one who told your mother about it!”

“She went through my things, and…” Theodore tossed the phone to Rayna. “She instructed the reporters to hide outside the cafe.”
