Chapter 518
The more she spoke, the harder she sobbed. “Did you know how devastated I was when I thought James was dead? I didn’t even know how to tell my mom about it. You’re too much, Curtis!”

“You’re right. You’re right,” Curtis admitted. “Stop crying. It’s not good to keep crying when you’re pregnant. Besides, I know the limit to things. I won’t do it if I’m not confident about it.”

Rayna swatted his hand away. “You’ll only make me worry by not telling me such a major matter!”

Curtis sighed and asked helplessly, “Do you think I don’t know what your character is like? You’re emotional and impulsive, and you never gave me a chance to talk to you properly. You were constantly mad at me.”

He then asked, “Rayna, did you think I knew about your pregnancy back in Summerbank? Was that why you thought I got someone to add those herbs to the duck stew and gave it to you to make you have a miscarriage?”

Rayna did not want to recall the incidents from the past. “It’s pointless talking about that now.”

“It’s not. Just tell me. Is that what you thought? Did you think I didn’t want the baby?” Curtis stared at her sternly.

The atmosphere turned tense in an instant.

James could not help but pipe up, “Uh… Since you two have something to discuss, I shall take my leave first.”

“No!” Rayna hastily grabbed him. “It took so long for me to find out you’re still alive. Don’t leave. We’ll go home together. You’ve been missing for so long that Mom’s been asking where you’ve been.”

Curtis forcefully pulled her away. “He will, but let’s settle this between us first.”

He shot James a look.

James nodded and said to Rayna before leaving, “Rayna, Mr. Faymon treats me really well. Don’t blame him for what happened.”
