Chapter 361
Rayna had just picked up Jessica’s call and was about to ask her what was the matter when the call ended abruptly after she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
She quickly dialed back, but all she got from the other end was the emotionless female voice telling her that the device she was calling had been switched off.
Is Jessie in trouble?
Right then, Jefferson came down from upstairs and saw that Rayna was dressed lightly. He grabbed a coat and draped it over her shoulders, startling her with his gestures.
Jefferson asked softly, “What’s the matter?”
“Jessie’s phone has been switched off. A few hours ago, she called me several times. I didn’t notice, as I accidentally put my phone on silent mode.” Rayna frowned, feeling worried.
“She’s Wyatt’s fiancée. My brother wants to expand the business to Aploth. He won’t purposely go looking for trouble with the prominent families in Norwal City,” consoled Jefferson.
“I hope so…” Rayna was still concerned. She hesitated for a moment before calling Jessica again. “She must have something to tell me; otherwise, she wouldn’t have called me so many times.”
Today is Wyatt’s birthday. Jessica must be with him.
Rayna waited for quite some time before Wyatt answered her call. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, “Hello?”
“Wyatt, it’s Rayna.”
Wyatt went silent for a while before asking, “Have you really broken up with Curtis? Where are you now? Why are you calling me?”
“Yeah, we’ve broken up. I’m overseas to deal with some matters now. I heard it’s your birthday today. Happy birthday, Wyatt,” replied Rayna with pursed lips, trying to make light of the situation.
“Thanks, Rayna.”
Rayna was unsure if she had heard wrongly, but she thought Wyatt sounded a little off.
However, he spoke very briefly, so she could not ask him about it.
She continued casually, “Will Mr. Faymon and Theodore celebrate with you? Oh, and what about Jessie? I called her, but the call didn’t go through.”
“Theodore’s father was injured, so he has gone to Xyperia.” Wyatt paused for a while before he went on cheerfully, “Jessie is with me. We were just heading back to celebrate my birthday.”
“Why is her phone switched off, then?”
“Her phone was out of battery. It’s being charged in my car now. She has gone to the bakery to collect the cake.”
Rayna heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she could believe Wyatt’s words.
She recalled what Jessica had said during their call a few hours earlier. “Wyatt, Jessie really loves you. I hope you both can live happily with each other.”
“Of course I know she loves me,” replied Wyatt, seemingly with a laugh.

Rayna hesitated for a moment and added, “If Jessie does something wrong, please forgive her. I hope you can share each other’s burdens in the future.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Knowing that Jessica was fine, Rayna stopped worrying. She decided she could still call Jessica another time. After all, it was Wyatt’s birthday. She reckoned she should let them celebrate in peace, so she hung up swiftly.
Jefferson had been standing by her side the whole time. He only spoke up after she had hung up the call. “Is she all right?”
“She’s fine. She’s with Wyatt. Her phone ran out of battery. I was worrying too much,” answered Rayna with a
smile.
The two of them then went upstairs together.
As Rayna walked up the stairs, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell backward. Fortunately, Jefferson was there to hold her and prevent her from falling.
“Are you not feeling well?”
“I feel a little dizzy.” Rayna tried to steady herself, but her knees started to go weak.
“It’s just a few steps. What if you fall after I let you go? Please let me take care of you once in a while.” Jefferson held her firmly.
She was not sure if it was because she had not been eating well or because she had been tiring herself out lately. She lacked energy and felt sleepy all the time. Not only that, she would sometimes feel dizzy as well.
Just as he walked into his bedroom, he could hear a faint ringtone coming from his bedside drawer. He took out the phone and answered the call after seeing who the caller was.
