“Sure. I will look for a place like that later in the afternoon,” said Rayna hurriedly. She was also aware that staying in a hotel was akin to staying in prison. It was not a surprise that he was getting bored. “Let’s plant camellias in the garden.”

Jefferson recalled that woman’s sharp words and how she had looked at him resentfully at the restaurant in Norwal City that day. His heart ached terribly, as if countless knives were stabbed into his chest. The agonizing pain suffocated him.
