His Precious Love

Chapter 219 Tacit Understanding

“Thank you, mister!” Theodore was earning more and more brownie points from Carl.

He’s handsome and stylish, and he looks like me! Daddy must have something to do with this mister.

While he was preoccupied with those thoughts, Rayna quickly pulled him over and whispered, “Find a chance to sneak away once we’re in the mall.”

“Can’t I stay?” Carl was hesitant to go. “I like this mister, and I want to talk to him for a little longer. What if he turns out to be my daddy’s brother?”

For the third time, Rayna was speechless.

No, he is your father.

“Even if he’s related to you, this isn’t the time.” Jasmine and Theodore’s relationship is just going to get even tenser if Theodore finds out about this. Won’t I become a sinner if that happens?

Pursing her lips, Rayna continued, “Carl, your mother has her own plan, and you promised her not to let anyone recognize who you are if you’re out here. Have you forgotten about that?”

Carl’s eyes dimmed at that, and he gloomily mumbled, “I know.”

Although Carl was young, he was a mature and intelligent child. He knew that his mother was doing those things for his sake, but he could not help feeling drawn to the man.

Furthermore, he did not like the man his mother had to marry.

“Be good, hm?” Rayna patted his head.

The green light lit up. Just as she was about to lead Carl across the street, someone darted out of nowhere and grabbed the woman in blue beside her before holding a fruit knife against her neck.

The woman’s legs went weak at the sensation of the cold blade against her skin. She could not even scream. At the same time, Theodore swiftly dragged Rayna and Carl to a safe spot.

Once the people around them realized what was going on, they screamed and began running for their lives.

“Hey, do you have a million?” the attacker snapped at the woman, his blade drawing blood.

“I-I don’t have a million. P-Please don’t kill me!” the woman stammered out, nearly losing control of her bladder from her terror. “I’ll give you everything I have!”
