Chapter 354

Right after Rayna sent out the message, she heard faint footsteps behind her. In swift movements, she put her phone on the countertop and washed her face. By the time she turned around, her expression was back to normal.

Jefferson had already entered the kitchen. When he saw her reddened eyes, he hastily asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Everything’s fine. It’s the chili pepper.” Rayna pointed at the chili pepper on the chopping board and said pitifully. “It hurts my eyes so bad that I had to rinse them a few times.”

He then took out a piece of tissue to wipe off the water droplets on her face.

“It’s all right. I can do it myself.” However, she quickly drew the tissue from his hand. “You should wait o utside. We agreed that I’ll be preparing today’s breakfast”

At her insistence, Jefferson nodded in agreement. When he was about to leave the kitchen, he saw the phone on the countertop. His eyes darkened as though som ething had popped into his mind.

After breakfast, Rayna wanted to change the bed sheets. He offered to help, but she turned him down. “It’s not a lot of work. I just need to throw these into the washing machine. Why don’t you check on the garden?”

“All right,” he replied.

The environment in the garden shed encouraged plant growth, and that was why the rows of green ros es they planted two weeks ago sprouted so soon. Once the stems grew taller and the buds formed, the roses would bloom in no time.

Jefferson wished they could grow even faster. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com He wanted to harvest them as soon as possible and put a bouquet in the living room and another in Rayna’s room. The green roses emanated a sweet scent, which he believed would help her sleep better..

After that, he returned to the house and realized no one was in the living room. Rayna seemed to still b e busy with her chores upstairs.

While cleaning up the space, he spotted a phone on the coffee table. It was Rayna’s.

Upon recalling her reddened eyes that morning, he unconsciously reached out and picked up the phon e.

Jefferson could access the device easily as it did not require a passcode. The phone had only a few applications alongside two numbers in the contact list. T he call log showed she answered a call that morning.

It has Frosa’s calling code…

In an instant, he figured out who the caller was, and his heart clenched.

He then clicked into the messaging application, where he found a message Rayna sent to the unknown number: Curtis, I miss you so much. Forgive me for being willful . The research on Ixora is going very well, and I still need to wait for fifteen more days. Once Jefferson gets better after taking the medication, I’ll head back immediately. I’ll do anything to make it up to you.

That message was not sent out, seeing that there was a red exclamation mark right next to it. She must have accidentally switched off her mobile data.

Nevertheless, Jefferson’s heart started beating rapidly the moment he read the message. Feeling suffo cated, he clutched the fabric over his chest to suppress that uncomfortable feeling.

His eyes reddened when he recalled the empty promises she made. I knew it. She has been lying to m e all this while. She said she would always stay by my side, but it was merely because she pitied and sympathized with

me. I never had a spot in her heart. The man she loves is in Frosa, and his name is not Jefferson but C urtis.

He pressed his hand against his forehead, laughing and crying uncontrollably. There was a forlorn expr ession on his face as he muttered, “Why didn’t I behave more selfish back then? Why did I allow her to go back…”

She was the love of his life, yet, someone stepped in and snatched her away, refusing to return her to him.

The fear of losing Rayna ate Jefferson up. Amid that, a hint of menace arose. At that point, he only had one thought– he wanted to keep her by his side and never let her go back.

Jefferson believed Rayna would stop dreaming of returning to Chanaea if he could get Curtis to ditch h er.

An idea began to take shape in his mind. He made a call with his phone and instructed the person to reprogram an application on a particular phone.

Minutes later, the person on the other end of the line replied, “It’s done.”

Jefferson restarted Rayna’s phone, switched on the mobile data, and clicked on her messaging applica tion. Then, he resent the message that failed to send out earlier.

The message seemed to have been delivered, but in reality, it was stuck because the messaging applic ation on her phone was reprogrammed. Likewise, she would not receive any incoming messages, even though the senders had sent them out successfully.

After getting everything done, Jefferson put Rayna’s phone back on the table.

Various intense emotions clouded his eyes. Staring at the phone, he did not feel an ounce of remorse. The man did not think he had done anything wrong.

It was because he believed Rayna was destined to be with him since they had known each other before Curtis appeared in her life. Moreover, he was her first love.

“Why didn’t you turn the heater on since you’re in the house?” Rayna, going down the stairs with light f ootsteps, asked when she saw Jefferson in the living room. She then quickened her pace and went to switch on the heater. “It’s raining outside now, so it’s v ery cold.”

“I didn’t turn it on because I don’t feel cold,” Jefferson said, giving her a warm smile as if he had done n othing earlier. At the sight of Rayna leaving after taking her phone, he asked, “Where are you going? I’ll come with you.”

The woman waved her hand. “It’s all right. I’m just going to the mall to get some new bedding. The drye r’s not functioning, but the technician can only come tomorrow since he doesn’t work on the weekend. I’ll be back

soon.”

“I’m worried about you.”

“Worried? Are you worried someone might rob me in broad daylight?” Rayna chuckled before turning around to get her coat. “You’d better stay home. The ai r outside is cold and damp, so you might catch a cold if you follow me.”

Jefferson saw her out and exhorted, “Drive carefully.”

“I will!”

Rayna waved him goodbye and ran toward the open– air parking lot in the drizzle. After driving out of Verdant Vine Garden, she headed to the nearest shoppi ng mall.

Once she arrived at the store, she went straight to the bedding section, where she picked out bed sets.

She then proceeded to the payment counter and handed the cashier her credit card.

The cashier tried making payment using the card but to no avail. Shaking her head, she said, “I’m sorry, miss. The transaction couldn’t go throug

“How about an overdraft?”

“It can’t work as well. I’m afraid there’s a problem with your credit card.” The cashier shot a dubious look at Rayna, makin fished out another card from her wallet and handed it to the cashier.

The cashier tried again, but a few seconds later, she pulled out the card and grumbled, “Miss, are you pulling a prank on me because you think I have nothing bette

Rayna immediately apologized to her. “I’m so sorry. Something might be wrong with my credit cards.”

When Rayna was thinking of calling the bank, she received a call from an unknown number.

“How are you doing in Frosa, Ms. Garland?”

The image of a young man with a chiseled face, blond hair, and blue eyes immediately came to her mind voice of a male.

Tightening her grip on the phone, she demanded, “Arnaud Montail, how did you manage to get my number?”

“I can find out anything as long as I want to,” Arnaud said with a smirk from the other end of the line. “I feel sor
