My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1865

Manfred left without another glance at Randall. Randall's brows furrowed tightly as the door closed behind Manfred.

After a long moment, Randall tried to push aside his frustration and settle into bed, but an inexplicable restlessness crept over him. Images of Fern and Virginia flitted through his mind, igniting a spark he couldn't ignore.

He wrestled with his impulses for a while before giving up and calling to the maid outside. "Bring Fern and Virginia here."

The maid hesitated and offered a cautious reminder. "Mr. Atkinson, the doctor advised that you should rest properly during this period and avoid... physical exertion."

Before the maid could finish, Randall interrupted with a sharp retort. "I know my own body better than anyone. What do you know? These doctors always exaggerate! Go call them, and I don't want to hear this nonsense again, understood?"

The maid, well-acquainted with Randall's temper, dared not argue further and quickly left to summon Fern and Virginia. Soon, as the evening deepened but before darkness fully set in, muffled, suggestive sounds began to fill the mansion.

The noises soon reached Zea's ears. "Didn't the doctor tell him to rest? Yet here he is, ignoring the advice and acting so recklessly! Does he not care about his own life?" she fumed, pacing in frustration.

Rhea signed, her expression resigned. "Mrs. Atkinson, he's been like this every day recently."

"Exactly, and it's infuriating! Even when we were still deeply involved, he wasn't this indulgent. Those two scheming women are nothing but temptresses. I'll find a way to deal with them," Zea said, her eyes blazing with jealousy.

Rhea shook her head, trying to calm her. "Mrs. Atkinson, you need to stay composed. Too many strange things have been happening in this house lately. Don't you think it's all too coincidental?

"Do you recall our earlier plans to find a suitable child for Mr. Cyril? You've been so preoccupied battling those two women that you haven't given it any attention. What if one of them becomes pregnant?"

Zea froze, her fury giving way to clarity. "What?"

"That's why I'm asking you to stay calm," Rhea said firmly.
