Chapter 521

Rayna’s expression shifted. “Curtis Faymon, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Go upstairs. I’ve to talk to him about something.”

She tried pulling his hand away. “The two of you have nothing to talk about. Let go! We’ve broken upalready. I’m begging you, leave me in peace, okay? I’ll let you have two of the babies.”

Curtis stood there quietly as she shook and scratched at him, not daring to move. He feared he wouldinadvertently hurt her and the children if he flew into a rage.

“Go upstairs, Rayna,” he said in an imposing tone, fixing his dark eyes on her. “I won’t hurt him. All Iwant is to have a chat. We’ll talk about us another time.”

She clenched her jaw, but before she could say anything, he added calmly, “I know about the betbetween Jefferson and his brother. Don’t make me interfere.”

What the heck! How dare he threaten me?

Glowering at him, Rayna uttered angrily, “You b*stard! I won’t eat anything tonight, even if it meansstarving to death!”

With that, she spun on her heel in a huff.

Curtis pinched the space between his brows as a throbbing headache assailed him.

He waited until Rayna was inside the building before letting go of Jefferson. “Why don’t we replace a placeto have a drink and chat?”

Knowing he would not have a chance of getting into the condominium with Curtis there, Jeffersonagreed dourly.

Curtis drove them to a club owned by Wyatt.

Upon noticing that Curtis had brought a guest, the waiter arranged the best private room for them. Thewaiter also served them wine as per Curtis’ preference.

Curtis picked up the wine bottle, poured some into a glass, and handed it to Jefferson.

“Mr. Faymon, I can’t believe you’d stoop so low that you’d even think of such a dirty trick as bridekidnapping,” Jefferson remarked with a sneer as he grabbed the wine glass from Curtis.

“Initially, I was supposed to head to Xyperia for a business trip on your wedding day. However, Jeremycalled and said there was a problem with the labor suppressants Rayna was taking. I was just worriedabout her and the babies,” Curtis replied.

Fortunately, I answered that call and rushed to the church immediately to look for Rayna. Otherwise,there’s no way I would’ve found out that the children are mine and would regret it for the rest of my life.

Jefferson snorted. “You caused her younger brother’s death, then start feeling sorry for her after yourbreak up? Mr. Faymon, what you’re doing is absolutely ridiculous.”

Curtis looked at him, his gaze suddenly piercing. “Even Rayna has no idea that her younger brotherwent to Yartran to kill Arnaud, so how is it that you know about it?”

“I’ve many informants in Yartran, so it’s hardly strange that I know about it.”

“Arnaud’s men are also secretly watching you. If you know about that matter, then it means Arnaud willhave found out that someone is out to assassinate him and will surely be on his guard. You learnedabout it from somewhere else,” Curtis responded, his tone gradually turning grim.

Jefferson admitted frankly, “That’s right. I learned about it through another source. Mr. Faymon, is thereany point in discussing that with me now? Wasn’t it you who killed her brother?”

“I underestimated you,” Curtis replied. Although he was smiling, his smile did not reach his eyes. “Youeven managed to plant your people at my side.”

After a pause, he continued, “You’re right. There’s no point in discussing that. We have other moreimportant matters to discuss. Give up on the idea of still having a wedding with Rayna. I won’t agree toit.”

Jefferson was so enraged by his words that his eyebrows twitched.

Nonetheless, he did not lose his cool in front of Curtis. In a steady tone, he said, “That decision isn’tyours to make. It’s up to Belle.”

Curtis laughed. “In that case, you can save your time and effort. She’s pregnant with my children. Ineed to take responsibility for her and the little ones. She’s the only person who can be my wife.”

“How is what you’re doing any different from imprisoning her?”

“We had a misunderstanding, thus causing her to hate me. However, I thought she had abandoned me.Everything will be fine once we clear up the misunderstanding. Besides…” Pausing, he glanced atJefferson with a hint of a smirk in his eyes. “Did you think a mere video would be enough to threatenme? I know her too well. If it were true that something was going on between the two of you, she’dnever have returned to Norwal City.”

After my anger subsided, I didn’t care about that video anymore. All I wanted was for Rayna to trustand love me. I was willing to forget about everything that had happened earlier. However, when Isuddenly recalled that video sometime later, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Rayna’s behavior seemed

strange. On top of that, the video had been edited. Hence, I guessed that Jefferson had sent the videoto provoke me.

Jefferson’s heart slowly sank, and his lips twitched. “Sure enough, you always succeed in analyzing asituation calmly regardless of the time and place. How impressive.”

“I wish I could punch you in your face right now to vent my anger. Alas, I can’t,” Curtis said calmly.“Anyway, I should thank you for taking care of Rayna while abroad.”

He clinked his glass against Jefferson’s before continuing. “I also need to thank you for steppingforward and taking the bullet for her when I lost my rationality at Frosa and shot at her. I’m trulygrateful.”

Tipping his head back, he downed the glass of red wine in one go.

Rayna was probably already pregnant by that time. Had he not protected her, she would’ve lost thebabies, and I would’ve regretted it for the rest of my life had I found out.

“Why?” Jefferson suddenly uttered as he gripped his wine glass tightly, resentment etched across hisface. “I’m not really lacking compared to you. I was the one who met and fell for her first, but why doesshe love you?”

I’m with Rayna every day, and I notice everything about her. She’s always smiling, but I can see thesorrow she hides in her eyes. She says she wants to marry me, yet she doesn’t care about me in thatway. Even when she held my hand as we stood before the priest, she still wasn’t thinking about me.The only person on her mind was Curtis. When Curtis gatecrashed the wedding to abduct Rayna, shehid behind me silently. However, I discovered that her hand was trembling. That, to me, showed thatshe was afraid to see Curtis because she still loved him. If he didn’t mean anything to her, she would’velooked him straight in the eye and smiled calmly. At the time, instead of worrying about getting mocked

by others, I was more afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get her back if he took her away. Not only would Ihave failed to win Rayna’s heart, but I’d lose her completely.

“That’s because you don’t know what she wants, and you like to keep things to yourself. As for me, Iwant her to know everything I do. If she wants to pursue her hobbies, I won’t stop her merely becauseit’ll be dangerous. I’ll let her go ahead boldly and do it. And if something does happen, we’ll face ittogether. I may not show my love for her in a blatantly obvious way, but I’ll pay attention to what sheneeds and accept her the way she is. I won’t force her to do anything that makes her unhappy, and shedoesn’t have to change herself on purpose.” Curtis replied while pouring himself more wine.

As he spoke, he could not help chuckling. “If I’m being honest, Rayna has taught me a lot, such as howI’ll never enjoy much delicious food if I’m a picky eater and how loving someone doesn’t need to be allthat complicated.”

I never expected to have anything to do with Rayna. After all, even our identities alone are a barrier. It’snot the sort of barrier we can cross and end up as a couple just by saying, “I love you.” However, I laterdiscovered just how interesting she was. She matured incredibly quickly and could comprehendanything with just a little push. She did not seem inferior next to me. Of course, there are times whenshe’s too emotional, presumptuous, and causes a mess of things. Nonetheless, if she lost those traits,she wouldn’t be her. Besides, it’s precisely because of those imperfections that I love her so dearly.

“I want her to know everything I do…” Jefferson mumbled. Suddenly, his muddled thoughts becameclear.

I finally understand why I’ll never compare to Curtis.
