His Precious Love

Chapter 293 I Need Your Concern

“It seems we’re pretty in sync with each other.“ Curtis chuckled softly. “I was about to look for you, and you’re here.”

Rayna asked, “Is Theodore okay?”

“I think he’s all right.”

The duo went downstairs to a restaurant situated at the center of the hotel. After finding a spot to sit, Rayna told Curtis she ran into Jefferson at the ballroom of the cruise yesterday, and the latter even kissed her.

Curtis’ face darkened when he heard her words. “I was wondering why the ballroom had a blackout at that time. It turned out he got someone to tamper with it in advance.”

It was apparent in his remark that he didn’t place the blame on Rayna.

Since the duo had gone through quarrels and silent treatments together, he knew Rayna’s personality well. If she really had something going on with Jefferson, she wouldn’t tell him about all that.

Curtis queried, “Did he say anything to you?”

Rayna shook her head and furrowed her brows. “Whenever I ask him something, he’ll only stay quiet and trace his reply on my hand with his finger. To be honest, I have never seen him acting so strange before.”

In fact, that cold kiss from him made her feel uneasy.

Curtis said in a calm voice, “According to my research on him, he has an elder brother from another mother. His brother’s mother is from a rich family in Yartran, whereas his mother is from Aploth. His father, Boniel Terblanc, got into an arranged marriage with Yvette Yates, but they had no feelings for each other. Instead, his father fell in love with his mother at first sight at a cocktail reception. After that, he brought her back to his manor.”

“I know. He has mentioned it to me before, but I’ve never seen his elder brother.” Rayna continued, “It seems his brother’s mother died of illness, and he hates Jefferson because of that.”

“His brother’s mother didn’t die of illness, but she took her own life.” Curtis explained the truth to her, “Yvette couldn’t accept Boniel bringing another woman back home and paying no heed to her, which caused her to suffer from depression. Eventually, she slit her wrist to commit suicide.”

“H-How could it be?” Incredulity washed over Rayna. “Did Jefferson get deceived?”

father was infuriated and blamed Boniel for not taking proper care of his daughter, so he wanted to take revenge on the latter. However, the Terblanc family is too powerful that he can’t fight against them. Thus, he got someone to kidnap Jefferson’s mother when the opportunity arose, creating the scene that her

death, but he didn’t take any action because he didn’t want to make an enemy of the Yates family since he and Yvette have a son too. After that, Boniel never gets married and only focuses on his two sons. As Boniel was loyal to Jefferson’s mother and favored him, Jefferson’s brother naturally felt displeased.
