His Precious Love Chapter 369
“It was my fault, Dad,” Jefferson said at once. “I was the one who hurt her first. Please don’t blame her. Besides, we’ve made up now.”
“So what if you’ve made up?” he raged. “This woman is vicious to have sent you to prison. You are going to meet your end by her hand!”
Jefferson had the urge to retort, “Should I be greedy like you and get rid of their lackeys?”
However, he swallowed the vehement words. “She’s gentle and kind, which you will see if you get to know her She’s also smart enough to help me with the business.”
Boniel’s scowl remained.
Jefferson held Rayna as a show of support. “It’s her first time in our home, Dad. You could at least be courteous. I told her you’re easygoing and love me the most.”
As Boniel doted on Jefferson, his younger son, he shook hands reluctantly with Rayna for his sake.
“I am Calbert’s father, Boniel Terblanc.”
Then, Boniel beckoned Jefferson, and the pair entered the dining room. “Tell me,” the latter said with an air of paternal love, “how is the business expansion in Aploth going?”
He completely ignored Rayna.
Rayna did not exhibit any signs of dissatisfaction. Instead, she pursed her lips and followed suit into the dining area.
Having sent Jefferson to prison and tarnished his name, I deserve Boniel’s cold shoulder.
During their meal, Rayna silently observed the conversation between Jefferson and Boniel and realized that aside from the things Boniel had done to Jefferson’s mother, he was a decent father.
After initial pleasantries, Boniel asked Jefferson, “How long will you be staying this visit?”
“As we’re not in a hurry to expand in Aploth, I would like to stay a little longer this time.” Jefferson glanced at Rayna with a smile. “I want to show Belle around Yartran.”
Despite being slightly disgruntled, Boniel nodded with satisfaction upon finding out that his son was staying in Yartran. “Good. Go wherever you please, and come to the company to lend a hand after you’re done. sightseeing.”
“There’s one more thing I have to do during this trip back, Dad-”
Jefferson was about to say something when an attractive male voice interrupted, “Have you forgotten what you said about having us run our own companies without using your connections as practice, Dad?”
A slender silhouette approached as the voice increased in volume.
Arnaud was clad in a black three–piece suit. He handed his jacket to a servant to reveal a black vest upon his well–built and erect frame. His thin lips wore a smile.
He exuded a princely air just from standing there and surveying the scene with his haughty gaze.
“I know you love Calbert, Dad,” Arnaud said pleasantly, “and are worried that he may not rise to the task, but I am your son, too. Would you also grant me a position if you’re going to allow him to learn the ropes in the company?”
Boniel did not think himself biased. “Your brother is not as good as you, not to mention younger. The

resources you have been taking from me over the years far exceed what has been granted to him.”
Arnaud arrived at their table and sat across from Jefferson. “I deserve them, Dad. It’s his fault for not working as hard. If you’re giving him your connections, I should have something too.”
