His Precious Love novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Who Is This Man

Although the man had an elegant demeanor and spoke in a gentle manner, Julian felt a strong sense of suffocation. It was as if the man was grabbing him by his neck. He was so terrified that he peed his pants.

So it wasn’t an accident after all! It was man-made!

Julian knew all of Rayna’s friends. However, that was a man whom he had never met before.

How is he related to Rayna?

“You… What’s your relationship with Rayna…?” Julian asked, his voice trembling in fear. He wanted to find out the relationship between the man and Rayna but was unable to get out a complete sentence.

The man smiled faintly before picking up the phone from the cabinet and passing it to Julian. “Call her now and tell her that you are agreeing to the divorce. Ask her to bring the divorce settlement agreement to the hospital. OK?”

Julian was in no position to protest under the man’s pressure. He took over the phone with trembling fingers and called Rayna, conveying the exact message to the woman.

“Well done. Thanks.” With a satisfied expression on his face, the man stood up before he reached out and patted Julian’s shoulder forcefully,

Shaking in fear, Julian said, “Please… Please speak your mind.”

“Did you touch her?”

“Yes,” Julian replied nervously before he felt the man pressing down harder on his shoulder. Bearing the pain, he quickly explained, “But it was only on our wedding night. Besides, we didn’t manage to do anything. I swear!”

Taking a pause, the man continued, “I didn’t expect her sexual disorder to be so serious. Not only did she resist my touch, but she also even scratched me. After that night, I didn’t touch her again as we slept in separate bedrooms.”

Julian could feel anger sweeping over him at the mention of that.

He had pursued Rayna for a long time. Back then, when Rayna agreed to marry him, he thought he had gotten lucky. However, he did not expect that the woman wouldn’t allow him to touch her, and that filled him with resentment.

If it wasn’t for the woman’s sexual disorder, Julian wouldn’t have had an affair outside!

“Thanks for not touching her,” Curtis replied with a smile. The man was looking visibly more relaxed compared to a moment ago. “If you have touched her, I wouldn’t have let you continue staying in the hospital. Mr. Faymon, am I right?”

Julian was so terrified that he dared not even move.

Before he left, the man reminded, “Mr. Faymon, this conversation shall stay between us. I don’t want her to know about it. Can you promise me that?”

“Yes. Of course!” Julian nodded.

He had a feeling that if he lied, the man would not hesitate to bury him alive.

Rayna stared at Julian for a long while. Feeling uneasy, Julian urged her to leave. As such, she left with the divorce settlement agreement without asking any more questions.

Did he damage his brain in the accident and is suffering from some side effects?

Otherwise, why would he have such a sudden change in attitude?

Rayna was still trying to figure out the reason for Julian’s change of heart as she walked out of the hospital. Just then, she received a text from Roxanne, telling her that she was in the hospital as she happened to have some free time. Only then did Rayna suddenly remember that her mother was supposed to be discharged that day.

She turned around at once and headed toward the inpatient department. When she reached the ward, she saw someone packing up. Linda was standing by the side, wanting to help, but was being told off.

“Just stay there and stop doing anything. I can manage. I don’t want Rayna to nag at me for getting you to do work again.”

Rayna knocked on the door to inform the two people in the room that she was there.

“Oh, Rayna! You’re here.” Roxanne quickly stuffed her mother’s remaining belongings into the suitcase and said cheekily, “Everything was packed by me. How’s that?”

Linda said to Rayna with a satisfied smile, “Your sister has been here since eight a.m. She had specially come to fetch me home and had even brought breakfast. She’s such a good girl.”

Roxanne had a smug expression on her face and was waiting for Rayna to praise her.

However, Rayna scoffed and replied, “Good girl? Haha. Mom, you don’t even know what she’s like! This is just a pretense. I’m sure she is doing this because she has a favor to ask of me!”

Rayna simply knew her sister too well!

“C’mon, Rayna! I’m genuinely good to Mom,” Roxanne said while swinging Rayna’s arm. Pouting, she continued, “I know I haven’t been very mature, but isn’t it all part of growing up? Besides, I’m so much better than James. At least I visit Mom occasionally, but he has been staying at school all this while. I think he has already forgotten about us.”

“He studies in a boarding school and can’t leave as and when he wishes.” Rayna slapped Roxanne’s head before continuing, “At least he doesn’t spend too much of my money. But you? You just spend everything I give you!”

“Rayna!” Roxanne clutched her head, feeling aggrieved. She was sure that the reason she was not that smart was that her sister kept hitting her. Given the frequency of her sister’s attacks, even a genius would become an idiot.

“Stop fooling around, girls. Let’s leave,” Linda said.

Rayna suggested that they eat at a restaurant to save them the trouble of cooking, but Linda insisted on buying groceries to cook at home as both her daughters finally got the time to return home. As such, the three of them headed to the mall.

Roxanne was wearing shades and a mask. She was covered up so well that she was afraid that passersby would recognize her.

Rayna couldn’t help but comment, “Have you already risen to fame?”

“Almost! I am already contracted to take part in a few productions and have gotten a few endorsements as well,” Roxanne replied smugly before continuing, “Well, I am actually quite brilliant. I’m sure I’ll be the most popular star this year!”

Rayna smirked when she heard that.

She had still not forgotten how foolish Roxanne was when she went to look for Curtis previously.

“Rayna, look! That’s me!” Roxanne pointed to a gigantic poster some distance away and exclaimed excitedly. Rayna looked toward the direction where her sister was pointing and got a shock.

She could not believe that Roxanne had become the international brand ambassador of the famous brand, Encounter!

“Seems like your new agency is investing a lot of resources in you,” Rayna said, looking surprised. Remembering that Roxanne had joined a new agency and had a new manager, the woman asked, “Is your manager very capable?”

“Needless to say! She had groomed three actresses who had won the Best Actress Award previously. In fact, she was already planning to retire.” Roxanne chuckled.

It was Jefferson who had made the arrangement for her to have such a heavyweight manager.

A week ago, a man who appeared to be Jefferson’s assistant had shown up at the filming site and told Roxanne that a Mr. Hamilton wanted to meet her. The woman was puzzled as she did not seem to know any Mr. Hamilton. It was only after she reached the restaurant that she realized it was actually Jefferson.

When Rayna and Jefferson were still dating, Roxanne caught a glimpse of the man when he accidentally appeared in the background during her video call with Rayna. It had been a few years since they broke up, and Roxanne could not help but feel shocked to see Jefferson in Hawen.

According to Jefferson, he was in Hawen because he had something to settle. It was also Jefferson who told Roxanne about Julian’s affair. He had even found a place to stay and had asked her to convince Rayna to move in with him.

However, Roxanne did not understand why they had broken up back then.

She was also unclear as to why the man did not inform Rayna of his arrival.

“Because your sister is still angry with me,” Jefferson replied with a smile. He was a very refined man with a mellow personality. It seemed almost impossible to anger him. “That’s why I need you to be the middle person,” he continued.

“Oh. I understand now.” Roxanne nodded. Truth be told, out of Rayna’s two ex-boyfriends, Roxanne liked Jefferson better. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also very wealthy!

Besides, Jefferson was also very nice to her. Knowing that Roxanne did not have any backing in the entertainment industry, the man had helped her switch to a new production company and had even given her the best manager in the industry. As a matter of fact, he had spent almost five million on her.

Previously, Roxanne was rather upset when she got the news that Kristie was after the role of brand ambassador. She had only mentioned it to Jefferson briefly, but she did not expect that she would end up landing the deal with his help.

As such, the woman was very happy to have Jefferson as her brother-in-law.

Roxanne wouldn’t even hesitate to kidnap Rayna to the church to get married to Jefferson, not to mention such a simple matter of asking her to move in with the man.
