Raina‘s POV
The sudden knock on the door interrupted my plan. I was just about to unbutton Charles‘ shirt when I
heard the knock, so I paused for a moment, frowning irritably.It was so late at night.
Who would come at such an odd time?
‘What a bummer! I quickly put my clothes back on and got out of bed to open the door.
It was Tracy standing outside with a cup of warm honey water in her hand.
Taking the glass of honey water from her, I said in an impatient voice, "You may leave now.And don‘t
bother us anymore."
"You are the one who should be leaving, not me.You are not allowed to enter this room whenever you
want, so please leave immediately," Tracy said coldly.
"And why should I leave? Actually, I am going to stay right here tonight." I gritted my teeth, glaring at
her.
It had been such a long time since Caroline left, but those bodyguards were still loyal to her.How could
she have so many people on her side?
"This house belongs to the Moore family, and you are not one of them.Besides, Mr.Moore isn‘t even
interested in you."
"That‘s between me and Charles, and it doesn‘t concern you.You‘d better act sensibly, and pretend like
you didn‘t see anything," I warned her in a low voice and proceeded to close the door to continue my
plan.
However, Tracy quickly reacted by blocking the door with one of her hands.
"Are you going to come out on your own or do you want me to drag you out?" Tracy‘s persistence was
starting to get on my nerves.
Although I did not want to give up easily, I also did not want to wake Charles and irritate him, so I had
no choice but to give up.
Right before I walked out of the bedroom, I turned around and glanced at Charles.
Deep down, I was absolutely reluctant to give up on the opportunity, but I also knew that it wasn‘t the
right time.
I consoled myself, telling myself that I would get numerous opportunities in the future.I knew that I
could easily find another chance as long as I stayed in the Moore mansion.I was about to walk past the
study when I paused for a moment.
The task that Adam had assigned to me was still not completed, and I wondered if it was the best time.
After looking around for a bit, I was delighted to see that I couldn‘t find any surveillance cameras in the
corridor.
In order to not attract anyone‘s attention, I tiptoed into the study.
There were numerous bunches of documents on the desk in the study room.
Taking out my phone, I immediately clicked pictures of them.
Afraid that I might get caught if I tried to login to the computer, I decided to open the drawer and check
what was inside.
The study was absolutely silent, except for the sound of the camera shutters and the rustling of paper..
I was so nervous that I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my throat any moment.
After clicking some more pictures, I left in a hurry.
The moment I closed the door behind me, I heard a child‘s voice.
"What are you doing?"
My heart was beating violently, and huge wave of panic crashed into my heart I turned around stiffly
and found James, dressed in his pajamas, standing behind me He raised his head and stared at me
with a doubtful look in his eyes
"Your father has a headache, so I came here to find some painkillers for him,"
I explained in a low voice while trying to calm down
"Okay, where is the medicine, then? Let me give it to him," saying that, James reached out his hand to
me, "I haven‘t found it yet.It‘s probably in the master bedroom.I will go there and look for it again."
I immediately tried to change the topic.
"James, it is so late now.Why aren‘t you in bed? You know that staying up too late is not good for your
health, right?"
Without saying a word, James continued to stare at me, I was so anxious that he might have
discovered my secret when I suddenly saw him withdrawing his hand and heading to the bathroom.
Watching him leave, I couldn‘t help but pat my racing heart. Ever since he tricked me to eat the shrimp
with applesauce, I had been trying to keep a distance from him.
His hostility towards me was making me keep my guard up all the time. After returning to my room, 1
quickly sent the photos of the documents to Adam.
Worried that I might leave a trail behind, I immediately deleted all the chat records and the photos,
Everything that I sent Adam were confidential, and if Charles found out about it, then I would be
doomed.
However, once I finished my mission, the nervousness faded away.
And soon, I fell asleep.
Charles‘ POV:
When I woke up and opened my eyes that morning, I saw that I was in the Moore mansion.
Sensing the familiar scent of perfume in the air, I immediately frowned in disgust.
Why was Raina so frustrating? Massaging my head irritably, I quickly went to the bathroom, took a
shower, changed my clothes, and walked downstairs, feeling satisfied.
While having breakfast, I asked Tracy in a low voice, "How did I get home last night?"
"Richard brought you back, and Miss Hill was taking care of you last night," Tracy replied coldly.
Casting a casual glance at her, I resumed eating.
At that time, Raina also walked downstairs and sat down beside me, smiling brightly.
"Good morning, Charles!"
Lowering my head, I continued to eat, ignoring her.
Without noticing my impatience, she continued to ask in an expectant tone, "Charles, can you take me
to the Wilson Group‘s groundbreaking ceremony of the east bank project tomorrow? I have been home
for too long, and I am really bored.I want to go out."
"Charles, Raina got hurt while trying to rescue the kids.Why don‘t you take her out and help her relax?"
My mother chimed in
"Yes, Charles.You do need a date to the party, right? I think that there is no better choice than Raina,"
Chloe also echoed.
"Okay." I nodded in reply.
I knew that Caroline would also be attending the ceremony.And I was looking forward to it.
Everyone seemed to be surprised, except for my mother and my sister.Secret Sinine locument
"Charles, thank you! I will make sure that you don‘t regret it!"
Raina‘s eyes gleamed with joy.
Seeing her smile, I couldn‘t help but sneer in my heart.I doubted she would still be this happy by
tomorrow.
.
As soon as I finished my breakfast, I drove James to the kindergarten.
With a confused look in his bright eyes, James asked, "Daddy, why are you being nice to Miss Hill?"
"That doesn‘t concern you, kid.So don‘t worry and try to study well," I said with a serious expression.
"But Daddy, if you keep doing this, then Mommy will only misunderstand you more!"
Upon hearing those words, I couldn‘t help but shake my head, smiling bitterly.
Actually, Raina was not the only reason behind Caroline‘s coldness towards me.
"That is not something that you need to worry about.I can handle it," I whispered.
"If you continue to be so stupid, then you are going to pay for it!" James hissed, glaring at me.
His face was a little stiff from the anger.
My expression darkened at once.
"Weren‘t you calling another man as your Daddy when you were little?"
Hearing that, James pursed his lips and fell silent.I frowned with regret.
James had been really young at that time, and whether it was true or not, I should not have lost my
temper with him.
For the rest of the ride, he didn‘t say a word to me.
There seemed to be a look of grievance in his eyes.
"James, I‘m sorry.I shouldn‘t have said that.Can you forgive me?"
I coaxed him in a low voice.
James snorted and complained, "You scolded me for Raina‘s sake! You have never scolded me
before!"
"I was wrong.I am sorry.It won‘t happen again," I promised.
"Really?"
"Yes, I promise."
"Are you still going to take her to the party tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Daddy, you‘re treating that bad woman so well! Are you going to make her my stepmother?"
James clenched his fists in anger.
"You won‘t ever have a stepmother.Caroline will always be my wife and your mom," I said firmly.
"Then why do you still want her to be your date?"
"James, what I‘m doing is for the greater good, okay? So just trust me,"
I softly comforted my son, stroking his head.
After dropping him off at the kindergarten, I called Richard.
"Contact Nicholas and see what exactly he wants from me, and also make sure he keeps his mouth
shut.If I hear any more rumors from him about my kids, I will not spare him."
"Are we going to launch an attack on the Hill Group then?"
"Not yet.I have my own plans."
