Since he insisted, Rayna had no choice but to give in. “All right, then. We’ll split this work in half.”

Jefferson finally smiled when he heard that.

Due to her pregnancy, Rayna got tired and dozed off after two hours of reading through the list of politicians.

By the time she woke up, it was already half past seven in the evening.

Jefferson then knocked on the door with a few sets of casual clothes in hand.

“Thanks.” Rayna was a little surprised by his level of attentiveness. Wow, he brought me these because he knows I don’t like fancy clothes?

While she was unfolding the clothes, she noticed the labor suppressants wrapped inside and glanced at Jefferson in shock. “So soon? Arnaud’s not going to notice, is he?”

“Ringo’s sister is pregnant, so she’s taking labor suppressants too. He had his sister buy these for him. I was worried that that little bottle of labor suppressants wouldn’t be enough,” Jefferson replied with a smile.

“Wait, he has a sister?”

“Yeah, what about it?”

Rayna scratched her head as she mumbled, “I thought he’d be a lone orphan like those bodyguards in movies. You get what I mean, right?”

Jefferson let out a chuckle when he heard that. “You’re really cute, Belle!”

Rayna shot him a fierce glare and protested, “Hey, stop laughing at me! I’m just a little ignorant, that’s all! I didn’t think I’d one day be sitting here in the Terblanc family manor!”

Her rosy red lips curled into a pout, and her relaxed posture gave her an alluring feminine charm.

Before he realized it, Jefferson had leaned in close and gently caressed her cheek. “Let’s get married, Belle.”

If the Terblanc family belongs to me, then I want you to become the lady of this household.
