His Precious Love

The man held his breath subconsciously. He was suddenly regretting lying to Rayna and was worried that he had caused her more agony.

He was about to say something when he heard the woman’s suppressed sobs.

“If he knew, why didn’t he ask me about it…” Rayna tried to stop her tears as she continued, “I really want to believe that it wasn’t him who did it, but he told me that he was there when the kitchen staff packed the duck stew into the lunch box. If that was the case, he must have seen those ingredients in the stew.”

The woman could hardly believe that Curtis had used such despicable means to get rid of her babies. When she thought about what happened, she felt as though she had been stabbed in the heart.

She was capable of raising the kids alone, and it was perfectly fine if he did not want to have any involvement with them. He could have just told her.

Jefferson pressed his lips together and said softly, “He was so mad at you over what happened to Kristie. How is it possible that he would still treat you well? If he still has feelings for you, the two of you would have already reconciled. Belle, just think about it. He’s always so busy with work and has endless meetings to attend, why would he go all the way to Summerbank just to accompany you? It’s because he knew that you were pregnant and—”

“Please stop talking. I’m begging you,” Rayna cut the man off mid-sentence. She was inconsolable and was on the brink of breaking down.

Indeed, Curtis was exceptionally nice to her while they were in Summerbank.

During the flight, he defended her when she was being treated with disdain by the other passengers after vomiting on the plane. He even flew her to the city in his private jet after the plane turned around.

He had taken her on walks and had personally made her a pair of earrings, cutting his fingers in the process. He would also get her yogurt to prevent her from getting indigestion from overeating.

Rayna thought that Curtis’ attentive behavior toward her was a sign of his love for her. However, it turned out to be her wishful thinking.

She remembered how gently he had kissed her when they were filming at Summerbank previously and also how he had stayed by her side during the power outage the night before, just like her guardian angel, but everything turned out to be a lie.

“Belle, please don’t cry.” Jefferson felt his heart aching, knowing how painful it must be for Rayna. “It’s all right if he doesn’t cherish you. You have me. I will always be here for you.”

Rayna hummed in appreciation while her tears continued to fall. “I… I love him so much. It’s so hard for me to get over him… Why did he do that? I’m so sad…”

“Calm down first, all right? If you keep crying, your babies would be sad too,” Jefferson comforted the woman gently. “Are you at the homestay or outside now? Wait for me. I’ll be there tomorrow morning.”
