Although Rayna was swamped with matters regarding the product launch at her company, she still worried about Jefferson in the back of her mind.

She would visit the hospital daily every afternoon and would prepare a nutritious breakfast and lunch if she had extra time on her hands, which Ringo would deliver to Jefferson.

Jefferson once commented about how her outstanding culinary skills had ruined his desire to order takeout ever again since she began cooking for him.

“I’m willing to cook for you just because you’re a patient.” Rayna rolled her eyes. “Don’t get used to it. I look forward to you returning the favor when you’re back.”

Jefferson’s lips quirked as he nodded. “Of course. I’ll cook anything you want.”

Rayna brought Jefferson to see Linda the minute he’d recovered from his leg injury.

“Let’s eat with her later.”

“Are we heading over to your mom’s?” Jefferson felt surreal as he’d never expected Rayna to bring him to see her mother.

He fretted, “I would be remiss if I didn’t bring any gifts since it’s my first time visiting your house.”

“It’s all right.” Rayna was amused as she lay her hand on his before he opened the door. “You don’t have to. My mom doesn’t fuss over stuff like these. Besides, you have all the time in the world to do so in the future.”

“Well, if you say so.” An imperceptible smile graced Jefferson’s features as he held Rayna’s soft palm.

Ringo, their driver, darted a glance at them and shook his head.

He thought, “I can’t believe Mr. Hamilton is on cloud nine just because he got to visit Rayna’s parents.”

Rayna used her keys to unlock the door to Linda’s house.

She took a pair of slippers for Jefferson from the shoe rack and called out, “What soup are you preparing, Mom? It smells heavenly!”

“Belle, you’re here!”

Linda wiped her hands on her apron at the sound of Rayna’s voice and made her way out of the kitchen. “You like to eat beef stew with vegetables, don’t you? I made some for you…”
