Rayna hurriedly wiped her mouth with a piece of napkin and stammered, “Y-You wanted to sleep with him?”

“No! No!” Kristie refuted. “I’m afraid of the dark! That was why I asked him to guard me while I slept! Don’t talk nonsense, you little brat!”

With that, she pulled Carl’s ear.

Carl yelped in pain before saying aggrievedly, “You could’ve just switched on the lights, no? You aren’t making sense, Aunt Kristie!”

“Shut up!” Kristie glared at him. “If you keep talking, I’m going to choke you!”

Hearing that, Carl quickly moved away.

Seeing that Rayna was still staring at her, Kristie felt embarrassed. She stomped her feet and complained, “Why are you staring at me? Do you think I’m into him?”

Rayna asked tentatively, “Then why did you—”

“No way!” Kristie retorted, shooting James a side glance. “He’s so old and ugly! Besides, he’s just a bodyguard! How could he ever be worthy of me?”

Rayna wanted to defend her brother, but she didn’t know what to say. She could only glance at James pitifully.

As a matter of fact, there was nothing she could do to help James.

James, on the other hand, didn’t say anything throughout their conversation. Instead, he pulled himself a chair and sat down to watch them eat.

At around eight in the evening, James wanted to bring Kristie away, so he said to Rayna, “I’ll bring her home to rest. Since Mr. York is in the hospital, you should be fine, right, Rayna?”

“Huh?” Kristie was stumped. Why did he address Rayna so? She then forgot about the fact that James was holding her hand when she grumbled, “Why did you address Rayna by her name?”
