His Precious Love

Chapter 76

Chapter 76 It Is None Of Your Business

After taking out a pill from the transparent medicine box, Curtis opened a bottle of water and walked to the bed.

Rayna was lying on the soft bed. Her face was not as red as before and had already resumed its normal complexion. Even her breathing was now steady.

Curtis knelt on the bed and bent toward Rayna.

He was not. However, since he had been busy developing Faymon Group’s branch in Norham for the past two years, all he could think of was work. Despite the women flocking toward him, he ignored all of them.

After returning to the country and bumping into her at the bar, the suppressed feeling within his heart had been awakened. His heart would pound every time he interacted with her.

At that moment, Curtis suddenly did not want to give her the medicine. He wished that she would remember that night.

However, that thought only lingered in his mind for two seconds.

Curtis opened Rayna’s mouth to shove the pill in. However, she kept her mouth closed in her sleep. She even slapped his hand away and turned her head aside while mumbling something under her breath.

She’s still quite wary.

Curtis chuckled. He placed the pill in his mouth, drank a mouthful of water, and pinched Rayna’s chin. When she opened her mouth, he transferred the pill over.

Rayna had no choice but to swallow the pill with a slight moan.

She only woke up a day and a night afterward.

When she completely woke up, she realized that she was wearing pajamas and sleeping in Curtis’ bedroom. Confused, she mumbled, “Didn’t I change my clothes to prepare to leave? Why…”

I remember that after I woke up, I changed my clothes and went to find Uncle Curtis to ask him something. Why am I on the bed now? Was I sleepwalking? That doesn’t sound right. After swimming last night, I’m sure that I’ve returned to my room. But this is Uncle Curtis’ room! Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Suddenly thinking about something, Rayna quickly pulled her sleeves up in a panic. Her arms were smooth without any blemishes. Furthermore, her body felt refreshed, and she did not feel anything strange.

Rayna heaved a sigh of relief.

No one can blame me for checking. It’s true that I was sleeping in my room last night, but I drank half a glass of wine before that. Luckily, I didn’t come running to Uncle Curtis while drunk and do something embarrassing.

At that moment, someone knocked on the bedroom door lightly. “Are you awake, Ms. Garland?”

“I’m awake!” replied Rayna quickly when she heard Gabriel’s voice. When she saw a dress placed on the couch, she quickly changed into it and washed up in the bathroom.

Gabriel was still standing outside when she opened the bedroom door.

Curtis was also in the living room. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he seemed to be taking a call. Rayna moved her gaze from his broad back to his butt, and her heart skipped a beat.

Wow! Uncle Curtis’ butt is quite perky.

“What are you looking at, Ms. Garland?” asked Gabriel deliberately when he noticed it.

“Ahem! N-Nothing.” Rayna quickly averted her gaze, the tips of her ears turning red. “Mr. Tylinski, I thought I was sleeping in my room last night. Why…”

Gabriel adjusted his glasses and said, “Have you forgotten, Ms. Garland? After Mr. Julian sent you a message last night, Mr. Faymon found it odd and asked you to stay here. I personally invited you over.”

“R-Really?” Rayna was still quite hesitant.

I remember that after my call, I gave Cillian, who was guarding the door, two chairs and some snacks. After that, I went back in and slept!

“Of course! Don’t forget my job, Ms. Garland.” There were no changes in Gabriel’s expression. “The hotel sent breakfast over. Have some food first, Ms. Garland.”

Rayna mumbled an acknowledgment and sat down at the dining table.

Although she had eaten supper before sleeping the previous night, she felt extremely famished, as if she had skipped a few meals. She picked up a sandwich and took a huge bite.

Curtis soon finished his call and sat down at the dining table too.

“How was your sleep last night, Ms. Garland?”

Rayna felt like Curtis’ deep and alluring voice was just caressing her ear. An inappropriate scene surfaced in her mind, causing her ears to blush.

Am I out of my mind? What was I thinking?

“Not bad,” replied Rayna vaguely. Pretending to be calm, she drank a mouthful of orange juice. When she noticed from the corners of her eyes that Curtis was staring at her broodingly, she immediately choked.

The orange juice dripped down her lips and dirtied her skirt.

Curtis passed two pieces of tissue paper to her with a slight smile. Laughing awkwardly, Rayna took it. However, a gloomy feeling surfaced within her.

For some reason, ever since she woke up and saw Curtis, their interaction was not as natural as before and even became slightly awkward. Furthermore, she kept thinking about weird things.

Is it a problem with me?

Gabriel, who had gone outside to grab something, returned at that moment. “Mr. Faymon, when Cillian searched Ms. Garland’s room, he found this.”

As he spoke, he placed a pink children’s ring on the table.

“What’s the problem with this?” Rayna recognized the ring. A boy had insistently shoved it into her hands when she returned from the swimming pool. She had placed it on the mini-bar casually when she got back.

Rayna glanced at Curtis.

She still remembered that the little boy called Curtis “mister” and reminded her not to remarry someone so old. Thinking about it, Uncle Curtis is barely thirty. He isn’t that old.

“There’s a slight problem,” replied Gabriel as he took out a screwdriver and skillfully opened the children’s ring. A small black object fell out of it.

“What’s that?” Rayna picked it up and inspected it. Despite being very small, it was filled with circuit components.

“A listening device.”

“No way!” Rayna’s expression changed in disbelief. “I thought that it was just a plastic ring. If it’s really a listening device, then…”

She turned her head around and looked at Curtis.

“It’s not Ms. Sienna. She’s not that bold.” Curtis took a sip of coffee calmly.

“Who is it, then?”

“Jefferson.”

Stunned, Rayna instinctively tightened her grip on that device.

Ever since Jefferson let go of her and left the airport, she had never seen him again. She thought that he had given up as she was helping Curtis, and there was no way for him to win.

Gabriel added, “I’ve got the same thought as Mr. Faymon. Recently, there have been more guests in the hotel. They’re all from Yartran, so I deduced Mr. Hamilton has planted his men in the hotel.”

“I won’t be surprised if it’s really him. After all, he owns a business that’s worth billions.” Annoyed by the listening device, Rayna broke it with the screwdriver’s handle and tossed it into the rubbish bin. “He can be quite extreme sometimes.”

A grim look crossed Curtis’ eyes as he asked coldly, “You seem to know him very well, Ms. Garland.”

Rayna laughed. “We’ve dated for so long. You’d know even a cat’s habits after taking care of it for a long time.”

Gabriel nodded. “Ms. Garland is right.”

In the next second, Curtis shot a cold glance at him. It’s none of your business.

Gabriel scratched his nose and fell silent.
