His Precious Love

“I’m glad you understand,” Stella replied with a chuckle. “By the way, I bought two scarves when I returned from Radford. Remember to bring them to your mother.”

“You’re already busy enough with work, though. Why did you still take the trouble to buy her scarves?” Gabriel said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“Well, the designs are pretty, and I think Mrs. Tylinski will like them.”

“All right. I’ll transfer the money to you later,” Gabriel said, only to be met with utter silence. “Hmm… Why have you stopped talking?”

Just as he pulled up to a red light and turned his head around, Stella, who had been waiting behind his seat, suddenly leaned in and kissed him.

“There’s no need to transfer anything,” Stella said, grinning impishly as she touched her lips. “I’ve already received the payment.”

Stunned, Gabriel hurriedly turned his gaze back to the road, his ears all flushed from the unexpected kiss.

Meanwhile, Rayna had been ringing the condominium’s doorbell to no avail when a sudden realization hit her. Ah! Silly me! Since Jessica’s pregnant, Wyatt must’ve taken her home to care for her. Why should she be here?

Unfortunately, Jessica hadn’t left her keys behind, so Rayna quickly headed to the property management office to get a set of spare keys.

Upon entering the seemingly neat and clean condominium, she was shocked to find a thick layer of dust on the floor.

Wow. It looks like Jessica hasn’t been here in a long time… I need to clean this place up, but I don’t think it’d be advisable to do any strenuous activity while pregnant.

With that thought in mind, Rayna whipped out her phone and wasted no time hiring a cleaning service. After pushing her luggage into the bedroom, she made a couple of calls to Jessica, only to find out that the latter’s phone was off.

She proceeded to call Wyatt instead, but oddly enough, all the calls went unanswered.

Argh! Even if he’s accompanying Jessie, he wouldn’t have tossed his phone aside, would he?

Of course, Rayna knew nothing about what had happened between Wyatt and Jessica in the past two months. In her mind, Jessica must’ve gone to stay in the Lopez residence and was being pampered by both Wyatt and Pamela.
