The housekeeper glanced at the phone number. It was Wyatt’s number but the call just could not get through.

Since Wyatt was on a business trip, the housekeeper thought that he was probably too busy. Furthermore, she saw the picture that Rayna had shown her. After a moment of hesitation, she passed the phone back to Rayna. “Are you coming back for dinner later?”

“Yeah! Prepare dinner for us.”

With that, Rayna left the mansion with Jessica.

After getting into the car, Jessica gazed at the mansion as it shrank into the distance with an indescribable feeling of sorrow filled her.

She thought that she would stay there forever. Every day, she would do some reading and wait for her baby to be delivered worriedly. Never once did she want to leave.

Yet, she left today.

“Stop thinking about those unpleasant things.” Rayna tossed a bottle of water to her. “Drink up! Your lips are pale. I’ll make sure that you and your baby are doing well.”

Jessica grabbed the water bottle hurriedly. As she stared at Rayna, she felt touched. “Thanks, Nana.”

“I should be thanking you instead.” Rayna’s voice became hoarse as she tried to keep her emotions in check. “Before I left the country, you’ve been helping me all along. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have…”

“All right, that’s enough.” Afraid that Rayna would keep talking incessantly and make her cry, Jessica stopped her in time. “Norwal City is so big! Where can we go such that he can’t find us?”

“Don’t worry. He’ll definitely not be able to find that place.” Rayna’s lips curved into a cold smirk.

The car reached Cerulean Bay after twenty minutes.

“Is this the place that you were talking about?” Jessica was shocked when she saw Rayna bringing her back to the condominium. “If he discovers that I’m gone, he’ll definitely look for me here first.”

Rayna led her toward the condominium and said, “I didn’t say that it’s the condominium we stayed in.”

Jessica was rendered speechless.

When the elevator reached the floor, Rayna walked toward Kristie’s unit and pressed the doorbell.

Soon, the door opened.
