His Precious Love

Chapter 349

“You’re the best, Mom! I’ve always known you dote on me the most,” Rayna said in a piping voice..

Linda replied, “Save it. It’s not because I feel sorry for you. I’m only acquiescing in your request because I’m worried you’ll drag me down and make me the brunt of gossip if no one wants to marry you since it’ll be your second marriage. I don’t have the energy to make another dress for Roxanne.”

“Mom, could you stop harping about how it’s my second marriage-”

“It’s the truth.”

It seemed as though Rayna knew she would fail in winning the argument with Linda, considering that she stopped talking and went about helping her mother with some housework. A long time passed before Curtis saw her appear on the screen again.

When Rayna noticed that the video was still recording, she gasped and turned beet red. “Oh my gosh! I completely forgot to stop recording. It didn’t capture my conversation with Mom just now, did it? No, that won’t do. I’ll have to edit that bit lest Mr. Faymon see it.”

As she muttered under her breath, Linda happened to call her to have her meal. The video ended after she responded to her mother.

Curtis sat on the couch and stared at the camera silently for a long time.

The forty–minute–long video replayed in his mind again and again. The way Rayna had looked and her words stirred a fire within him, and he felt angry and distressed.

If she loved me so much, why did she take Jefferson’s side without hesitation when a problem arose? Was it just because he had nothing and was the weaker one? What did I have, then?

The memory of that phone call in which she cried because of Jefferson and resolutely decided to remain in Frosa, abandoning him, made him seethe with hatred, and his gaze gradually turned icy.

Curtis tossed the camera carelessly onto the coffee table, then rose to his feet to go upstairs.

When Lucky saw him get up, it sprang to its feet and followed him while wagging its tail. Its owner merely glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and kept walking.
