Janey chimed in sweetly, "I like the Barbie dolls very much, but I don't need the money, Anabella. Moreover, I have a pot full of pocket money at home."

As Raegan handed back the envelope, a lazy and impatient voice echoed from behind them. "Just take it. What's the point of pushing it back and forth like that?"

Turning around, Raegan saw Darryl, known for his slovenly appearance, lounging on the sofa, eyeing her arrogantly.

In reality, Anabella, being of mixed race, had passed on her exceptional genes to Darryl. Unfortunately, coupled with his unruly behavior, it resulted in Darryl coming across as rather unpleasant.

He hadn't intended to provoke Raegan.

However, Raegan disliked Darryl immensely. Raegan narrowed her eyes and decisively declined the envelope.

"Shut up!" Darryl's mother, Anabella, scolded him harshly, embarrassed by his disrespectful words.

The formidable Foster family held a more prominent standing than the Cullen family, and Darryl's tone implied condescension toward Raegan and Janey.

Anabella shot an annoyed look at Darryl. If they weren't in Raegan's presence, Anabella might have considered giving this troublemaker a piece of her mind.

Touching the tip of his nose, Darryl gazed at Raegan, sensing an air of deliberate haughtiness surrounding her.

Sending the bank card was Darryl's way of seeking Raegan's forgiveness for his impoliteness from yesterday. However, Raegan didn't accept it, leaving Darryl to wonder if she was still harboring anger toward him.

Darryl's willingness to make amends stemmed more from Raegan's striking looks than genuine remorse.

“Raegan, I'm here to apologize on Darryl's behalf. Please don't be angry with Darryl," Anabella pleaded. She heard that Raegan had left without having dinner the previous night, much to her regret.

Since Anabella was an elder, Raegan didn't make things difficult for her. She graciously replied, "It's okay, Anabella."

Just as Anabella was about to speak, Darryl interjected, "Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, let's try to get along with each other."

Raegan frowned, clearly perplexed by Darryl's words. “I don't think that's necessary. We're not cut from the same cloth," she retorted.

“How dare you!" This marked the first time Darryl had extended an olive branch to a woman, but Raegan bluntly rejected him.

Anabella found herself irked by Darryl's interference. Although the rumors portrayed Darryl as a playboy, as his mother, Anabella knew he had never brought a woman home or taken such an initiative in her presence. This time, however, Anabella sensed a difference. When Darryl returned home the previous night, he neither confirmed nor denied having any romantic interest in Raegan.

“You think I'm not worthy of you? How dare you!" Upon reflection, Darryl hesitated with his words. Raegan could sense that he intended to remind her of her widowhood.

Adding fuel to the fire, Darryl had suggested that no other man would be interested in Raegan as long as she had Janey with her.
