Chapter 354

Right after Rayna sent out the message, she heard faint footsteps behind her. In swift movements, she put her phone on the countertop and washed her face. By the time she turned around, her expression was back to normal.

Jefferson had already entered the kitchen. When he saw her reddened eyes, he hastily asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Everything’s fine. It’s the chili pepper.” Rayna pointed at the chili pepper on the chopping board and said pitifully. “It hurts my eyes so bad that I had to rinse them a few times.”

He then took out a piece of tissue to wipe off the water droplets on her face.

“It’s all right. I can do it myself.” However, she quickly drew the tissue from his hand. “You should wait outside. We agreed that I’ll be preparing today’s breakfast”

At her insistence, Jefferson nodded in agreement. When he was about to leave the kitchen, he saw the phone on the countertop. His eyes darkened as though something had popped into his mind.

After breakfast, Rayna wanted to change the bed sheets. He offered to help, but she turned him down. “It’s not a lot of work. I just need to throw these into the washing machine. Why don’t you check on the garden?”

Jefferson wished they could grow even faster. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com He wanted to harvest them as soon as possible and put a bouquet in the living room and another in Rayna’s room. The green roses emanated a sweet scent, which he believed would help her sleep better..

After that, he returned to the house and realized no one was in the living room. Rayna seemed to still be busy with her chores upstairs.

While cleaning up the space, he spotted a phone on the coffee table. It was Rayna’s.

Upon recalling her reddened eyes that morning, he unconsciously reached out and picked up the phone.

Jefferson could access the device easily as it did not require a passcode. The phone had only a few applications alongside two numbers in the contact list. The call log showed she answered a call that morning.
