Chapter 449 Good News for Him
Three months went by in the blink of an eye.
Trenton had been trying to convince Jaylon that Reina was dead. Trenton thought that they should stop putting their resources to search for Reina.
Jaylon would talk back to Trenton every time Trenton said that Reina was dead. Strangely, Jaylon silently agreed with Trenton this time.
Jaylon had Trenton find a decent cemetery. Even though Jaylon couldn't find Reina's body, he wanted to prepare an empty grave for her.
The day before the grave was to be made, Jaylon was suddenly informed that a fisherman had seen Reina.
It got Jaylon's hopes up. Jaylon immediately went to see the fisherman.
According to the fisherman, a fishing boat returned to port on the day of the engagement ceremony. Several people were seen getting off the boat. The fisherman said that one of the women had a similar figure and the same eyes as Reina in the photo.
However, the woman was picked up as soon as she disembarked. The fisherman wasn't sure if it was the woman Jaylon was looking for.
It was possible that the fisherman made a mistake.
However, Jaylon believed that the woman was Reina.
To find the black car mentioned by the fisherman, Jaylon expanded the search and checked all the security tapes on the day of the engagement ceremony throughout the city.
Finally, there was good news for Jaylon half a month later.
It had been more than three months since Reina came to this remote town.
At first, Reina had nightmares. In her dreams, Jaylon found her and punished her for her fake death.
It took Reina a long time to find her peace and learn to enjoy the quiet life of the town.
Summer came. Tonight was the town's annual carnival. Residents would gather to celebrate at a bonfire in the square.
Some local women gathered in the town square to prepare food, wine, and props for the carnival.
Reina was there to help. A local woman named Ruby Carter asked Reina to bring some meat from the butcher's house.
Before Reina was about to say yes, a young man who was setting up a bonfire ran over. Pulling off the towel on his neck and wiping sweat off his face, the man hurriedly said, "Reina's pregnant. I'll go for her."
The man's name was Argus Nielsen. He was tall, with caramel-colored skin and a crew cut.
Argus looked sharp and hunky in his loose vest and black trousers. His masculine arms were quite a treat for the girls.
Argus blushed a little as he looked into Reina's face.
Ruby laughed, "We need two pounds of beef here. It takes only six minutes
to get to the butcher's house. It isn't that far away.
And two pounds of beef isn't that heavy for Reina. Argus, you're so concerned about Reina."
Argus' face turned even redder. "The doctor said that Reina can't do the heavy lifting. Anyway, I'll go for her," Argus explained. "Reina, if you are tired, you can go home and have a rest. Don't worry about us," Argus added.
After that, Argus left.
Ruby smiled as Argus went away, "Reina, Argus is an eligible man in our town. He'll be an attentive husband. I'm so glad you've found a man like Argus.
You're gonna have a happy family after the baby's born."
When Ruby mentioned the baby, the smile on Reina's face faded.
Reina found out that she was pregnant after coming to town three months
ago.
Argus had been pursuing Reina. After knowing that Reina was pregnant, Argus hesitated. But eventually, Argus still decided to keep pursuing Reina.
It was inconvenient for Reina to live alone.
Argus helped Reina a lot. Reina appreciated what Argus had done for her.
Reina had always wanted to settle down with someone reliable.
Reina was touched that Argus was willing to accept her and even her
unborn baby.
