Chapter 84 There Is No Baby At All

W-What’s going on here?

A long while passed before Rayna found her voice. She gaped at Curtis tremblingly. “Uncle Curtis, did you drink too much… that you’re now not quite right in the head?”

But that’s not quite possible, no? I saw that he only drank a glass of liquor.

The man before her was Curtis, yet it was also not quite him, for his gaze and aura were entirely different.

After picking up the basin from the ground, Curtis put it aside. Before Rayna could gather her wits, he bent down, scooped her up, and gently placed her onto the bed.

“You’ve got to have enough rest now that you’re pregnant, Darling.”

Words eluded Rayna for a moment.

Nonetheless, his remark had her convinced that he was teasing her. A frown marred her countenance. “Stop joking around, Mr. Faymon. I was only lying when I said I was pregnant. Don’t you find it ridiculous to crack such a joke in the middle of the night?”

“I’m not joking, Darling. Be good and lie down. I’ll sing you a lullaby,” Curtis stated solemnly, grabbing the blanket and pulling it over her.

That had Rayna completely dumbstruck.

She gawked at the man before her, panicking slightly at the concern and indulgence in his eyes.

Oh, no! He seems to have lost his mind!

“Do you know my name, Mr. Faymon?” she asked tentatively.

“You’re Rayna Garland, my wife.”

Ignoring the latter half of his utterance, Rayna pressed, “Do you know where we are?”

In response, Curtis bobbed his head. “We’re in Tyrandas. I needed your help to negotiate a collaboration and set you up, so you had no choice but to relent. In the end, you came here with me.”

His answer only made Rayna all the more baffled.

I’m sure he’s not suffering from amnesia and remembers everything. So, what’s happening right now?
