Jefferson frowned in displeasure and hesitated for a few seconds but shook Curtis’ hand anyway. “You are the father of her babies, but that doesn’t necessarily make you her man. It’s only natural for me to look after her.”

Curtis nodded. “That may be true, but I would suggest you not dwell on such thoughts.”

“Well, you know what they say about the law of attraction. I believe that thinking about it will help make it a reality,” Jefferson retorted.

“The law of attraction doesn’t work like that.”

Jeremy couldn’t help but find their behavior childish.

Seriously? These two have been fighting each other over a woman, and now, they’re forced to work together because of her.

“You know, you two do look quite alike from the side. I suppose you two truly are brothers with different fathers!”

Jefferson’s expression grew cold as he said, “I was planning to go for plastic surgery, but Belle told me that she likes my face.”

“Really? I didn’t know Rayna was this shallow. Is your face the only thing she likes about you? I’m curious. You and Rayna knew each other a long time ago and used to date each other in the past, so how did she end up falling for Curtis?” Jeremy asked.

Oblivious to Curtis’ expression, which was slowly turning gloomy, Jeremy continued, “Does she see Curtis as a replacement for you because of how similar you two look? Is that why she fell in love with him?”

Jefferson glanced at Curtis before replying with a faint smile, “I never thought of it that way, but it does seem possible.”

“Jeremy…” Curtis placed a hand on Jeremy’s shoulder and gave it a squeeze as he continued menacingly, “Are you bored? If you are, I can give you something to work on.”

Despite frowning from the pain, Jeremy refused to admit defeat. “What, are you jealous?”

Curtis simply increased the amount of force without saying a word.

“I’m kidding! I was just kidding! You’d better think twice for I need both my arms in order to look after Ms. Garland, so please let go of me!” Jeremy pleaded.

Curtis shot Jeremy a menacing gaze before releasing his grip on him.

Jeremy quickly stepped aside while rubbing his aching shoulder. “By the way, Jefferson, Curtis gave you the medication a while back, didn’t he? Have you taken it?”

Jefferson nodded in response.
