Chapter 430

When he finished his sentence, Gabriel noticed something was off. He studied Rayna curiously and asked, “Did you sleep here last night, Ms. Garland?”

“Yes.”

Gabriel gasped, finally understanding why Curtis looked displeased with him last night. It’s because I almost ruined Mr. Faymon’s plan.

Gabriel scooted over and asked nosily, “So, are you and Mr. Faymon back together?”

Gabriel knew Curtis well enough. After all, he had been working for him for many years. He wouldn’t have gone to Yartran to help her last time or let her sleep here last night if he didn’t still have feelings for her. The only ones who have slept here were Ms. Garland and his pets. Hmph! I’ll never forget how he chased me out last year when I wanted to sleep on the couch after working here until midnight. Even his pets live a better life than me.

“We already broke up. We’ll never get back together,” Rayna said plainly.

Still remembering Curtis’ words from last night, she decided to cut ties with him and not hold any hope.

Her answer put Gabriel in a daze. “B-But you slept here last night…”

“Mr. Faymon was just being kind. He let me stay here because of the rain.”

Gabriel was even more stunned.

He could not believe her words after the way Curtis chased him away last night.

Rayna ignored him and went into the kitchen with the dishes. Knowing the cleaner would drop by later, she did not wash the dishes and only soaked them in the sink.

As she stepped out of the kitchen, she spotted two baskets of oranges in the corner of the hall. A dejected look flashed across her eyes.

After some time, Rayna said to Gabriel, “Please help me carry these baskets of oranges to the car. I’ll get my things packed and leave in a while.” Seeing Gabriel was not moving, Rayna called out, “Mr. Tylinski?”

“Huh? What do I need to carry?” asked Gabriel as he snapped back to his senses.

Rayna pointed to the corner, which made him glance in the direction of her finger. He almost cursed out loud when he saw the baskets.

Don’t tell me Mr. Faymon asked someone to deliver this last night. He treats her so well. Not only did he let her crash at his place, but he also made breakfast for her. Then again, why does Ms. Garland look so indifferent about it?
