His Precious Love

Chapter 361

Rayna had just picked up Jessica’s call and was about to ask her what was the matter when the call ended abruptly

after she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

She quickly dialed back, but all she got from the other end was the emotionless female voice telling her that the

device she was calling had been switched off.

Is Jessie in trouble?

Right then, Jefferson came down from upstairs and saw that Rayna was dressed lightly. He grabbed a coat and

draped it over her shoulders, startling her with his gestures.

Jefferson asked softly, “What’s the matter?”

“Jessie’s phone has been switched off. A few hours ago, she called me several times. I didn’t notice, as I

accidentally put my phone on silent mode.” Rayna frowned, feeling worried.

“She’s Wyatt’s fiancée. My brother wants to expand the business to Aploth. He won’t purposely go looking for

trouble with the prominent families in Norwal City,” consoled Jefferson.

“I hope so…” Rayna was still concerned. She hesitated for a moment before calling Jessica again. “She must have

something to tell me; otherwise, she wouldn’t have called me so many times.”

Today is Wyatt’s birthday. Jessica must be with him.

Rayna waited for quite some time before Wyatt answered her call. His voice was a little hoarse as he said,

“Hello?”

“Wyatt, it’s Rayna.”

Wyatt went silent for a while before asking, “Have you really broken up with Curtis? Where are you now? Why are

you calling me?”

“Yeah, we’ve broken up. I’m overseas to deal with some matters now. I heard it’s your birthday today. Happy

birthday, Wyatt,” replied Rayna with pursed lips, trying to make light of the situation.

“Thanks, Rayna.”

Rayna was unsure if she had heard wrongly, but she thought Wyatt sounded a little off.

However, he spoke very briefly, so she could not ask him about it.

She continued casually, “Will Mr. Faymon and Theodore celebrate with you? Oh, and what about Jessie? I called her,

but the call didn’t go through.”

“Theodore’s father was injured, so he has gone to Xyperia.” Wyatt paused for a while before he went on cheerfully,

“Jessie is with me. We were just heading back to celebrate my birthday.”

“Why is her phone switched off, then?”

“Her phone was out of battery. It’s being charged in my car now. She has gone to the bakery to collect the cake.”

Rayna heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she could believe Wyatt’s words.

She recalled what Jessica had said during their call a few hours earlier. “Wyatt, Jessie really loves you. I hope you

both can live happily with each other.”

“Of course I know she loves me,” replied Wyatt, seemingly with a laugh.

Rayna hesitated for a moment and added, “If Jessie does something wrong, please forgive her. I hope you can

share each other’s burdens in the future.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Knowing that Jessica was fine, Rayna stopped worrying. She decided she could still call Jessica another time. After

all, it was Wyatt’s birthday. She reckoned she should let them celebrate in peace, so she hung up swiftly.

Jefferson had been standing by her side the whole time. He only spoke up after she had hung up the call. “Is she all

right?”

“She’s fine. She’s with Wyatt. Her phone ran out of battery. I was worrying too much,” answered Rayna with a

smile.

The two of them then went upstairs together.

As Rayna walked up the stairs, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell backward. Fortunately, Jefferson was there to hold

her and prevent her from falling.

“Are you not feeling well?”

“I feel a little dizzy.” Rayna tried to steady herself, but her knees started to go weak.

Jefferson carried her in his arms right away.

When Rayna came to her senses, Jefferson had already gone upstairs with her in his arms.

She could smell his scent because of how close they were, making her feel a little awkward.

Rayna struggled a little and said softly, “Y–You don’t have to carry me. I can walk.”

“It’s just a few steps. What if you fall after I let you go? Please let me take care of you once in a while.” Jefferson

held her firmly.

Rayna did not protest further and quietly leaned against Jefferson as they made their way up.

She was not sure if it was because she had not been eating well or because she had been tiring herself out lately.

She lacked energy and felt sleepy all the time. Not only that, she would sometimes feel dizzy as well.

Jefferson carried her into her bedroom and put her on the bed gently. “Should I get you a glass of warm milk?”

Rayna shook her head. “No, it’s all right. You should go and sleep.”

“Okay” Jefferson could tell that she felt awkward around him..

After he left her room, the smile on his face vanished. He stared at his palms, feeling her remaining warmth on his

hands. His heart pined for Rayna.

What can I do to really secure a place in her heart?

Just as he walked into his bedroom, he could hear a faint ringtone coming from his bedside drawer. He took out the

phone and answered the call after seeing who the caller was.

“What’s up?”

He had been contacting Ringo consistently all the while after they came to Frosa but kept it from Rayna. He was

afraid that she would leave after learning that there was someone else helping him.

Chapter 361

“Mr. Hamilton, Kristie is on flight FM8426. She’s heading to Frosa.”

“She must know something. She’s coming to take Rayna away from me.” Jefferson’s grip on the phone. tightened.

His expression became gloomy and sullen, and he grew restless.

From his daily interactions with Rayna, he observed that she would sometimes call James to ask about the

happenings in their family. Kristie was James‘ girlfriend. It was obvious why she was coming over.

When he thought of those matters, Jefferson felt troubled. In a low voice, he ordered, “Think of a way to make her

go back.”

“Her flight will reach Frosa in a few more hours. I can’t stop her. In addition, if I do anything to her, Mr. Faymon will

come after us if he finds out about it. Mr. Hamilton, if you aren’t the heir to the Terblanc family, you have nothing to

back you up. You can’t afford to make an enemy out of Mr. Faymon,” said Ringo.

He paused for a bit before continuing, “One more thing. I noticed Mr. Montail’s men tailing Kristie. I’m guessing that

he plans to take revenge against Mr. Faymon through her.”

Jefferson stopped his restless pacing upon hearing that.

He nearly forgot that Arnaud had wanted to expand into Jetroina but was blacklisted by that country and suffered

over a hundred million in losses in Anglandurn currency. It was likely Curtis‘ doing.

Arnaud must hold a grudge against Curtis for that, so he planned to seize this chance to take it out on Kristie.

Jefferson could have asked Ringo to protect Kristie in secret since she was Rayna’s future sister–in–law, but he could

not bring himself to say it.

When he thought of how Kristie would come and persuade Rayna to go back with her to Curtis, an evil idea began

to form in his mind.

Rayna is mine! No one can take her away from me!

Jefferson clenched his phone tightly. A light layer of sweat formed on his palm.

He stared at the patterned rug under his feet for a while before speaking up. “Let her come. You stay out of

it.”

“Mr. Hamilton, she’s Rayna’s sister–in–law.” Ringo did not like Rayna, but he did not want Jefferson’s relationship

with her to worsen. “If Rayna finds out-

“She won’t know if you don’t tell her. Ringo, I don’t know how much longer I have to live. I don’t want anyone to

take her away from me.”
