Ignoring Rayna, Wyatt left as soon as he received a response from Curtis.

Rayna wore a grim expression on her face, bogged down with despondency.

She then left the clubhouse with Curtis. After climbing into the car, she was silent for a while before questioning out of the blue, “Back then, did I make the wrong decision in not sending Jessie away timely after learning the truth?”

If I’d known that things would end up like this between Wyatt and Jessica, I would’ve advised her to go to another city after Gerald’s death. Away from Wyatt, she would have no burden to shoulder and would’ve definitely lived happily. She wouldn’t have died.

Aware of her thoughts, Curtis asserted while driving, “You didn’t do anything wrong, Mrs. Faymon. Don’t overthink things. Even if you had sent her away at that time, you can’t predict how her life would’ve been.”

Rayna listened to him seriously. When she registered what she had just heard, her expression darkened. Her voice was tinged with a hint of irritation as she snapped, “Please show me some respect, Mr. Faymon. Can’t you address me by my name?”

“Nope. Calling you by your name makes us seem distant. Choose one between Mrs. Faymon and Darling. Otherwise, I’ll pick for you.” Curtis glanced at her through the rearview mirror, a faint smile hovering over his lips.

At once, Rayna retorted, “Is there any use asking me when you’ve already picked?”

Chuckling lowly, Curtis hummed in affirmation. “Got it, Mrs. Faymon.”

Belatedly realizing that she had been tricked, Rayna saw red to the point that she couldn’t even hold the orange steady.

She hurled the orange peel at the man, hissing through gritted teeth, “I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you, Mr. Faymon!”

“It’s okay. You’ve now seen one, Mrs. Faymon.”

Rayna was rendered utterly speechless.

Upon arriving at the condominium, Rayna made to alight from the car, but Curtis had already circled around and opened the car door for her.

Deliberately pretending not to see it, she climbed out of the car straight away without thanking him.

The instant she saw the man carrying the box of oranges out of the car, she was afraid that he would make an excuse to enter her house later. She hurriedly suggested, “Why don’t you return to the office, Mr. Faymon? They need you there. Just put the oranges on the ground. I’ll have my brother come and transport them.”
