Stella stared at Rayna, still visibly shocked.

She saw Rayna speak to a woman in the shop. Rayna then kissed the woman on the cheek and left the shop while saying, “Mom, you go back and make the sweet soup first. I’ll go over to your house a little later to have it.”

Stella watched as Rayna approached the elevator. She spun around and hid behind a nearby advertising column.

Very stealthily, Stella peeked out from behind.

She noticed Rayna was wearing a pair of light brown flats and walking in a very careful manner. When Rayna got into the elevator, she even placed her hand on the handrail.

Stella’s gaze soon turned serious as she began to suspect something.

It’s not a working day, and Rayna is dressed casually. She’s wearing flats, walking very carefully… She must be pregnant!

Is it Curtis’s child?

If the child truly belonged to Curtis, Stella wondered why Curtis seemed to be as calm as ever when he went about his day-to-day affairs. She also learned from Gabriel that Curtis rarely interacted with Rayna.

Is there some kind of misunderstanding between them? Did Rayna not inform Curtis about her pregnancy?

A woman’s mind was naturally quite delicate.

After mulling over this for a while, she arrived at the conclusion that something did happen between Curtis and Rayna.

As such, Rayna did not tell Curtis she was pregnant.

“I’m glad that the misunderstanding occurred. Otherwise, I can’t act,” muttered Stella after letting out a sigh of relief.

If Curtis knew about the child, he would definitely try to patch things up with Rayna.

A while later, Stella raised her head and glanced at the shop.
