Dear Sweetheart Chapter 192 It Will Not Be The Same

Massaging his temples, Curtis uttered, “Forget it. I’ll send you back.”

Recalling the scenes she witnessed in the banquet hall, Rayna grew irate, her voice tinged with a hint of

envy. “No, thanks! I wish you and Ms. Sanders a blissful honeymoon!”

“What honeymoon? I can’t walk, so I had her send me to Hallsbay. What were you thinking?” Curtis shot

her a look, the expression on his face strange.

Huh?

Mortification swept over Rayna at that instance.

So, he only wanted someone to accompany him because of his limited mobility? It was all because of

Kristie’s claim that I misunderstood!

Nonetheless, she stated blasely, “Oh well, I was merely saying that since the two of you are engaged.

So, why did you come here?”

Crossing both hands on his lap, Curtis regarded her with a smirk. “Why else, if not because someone did

something foolish behind my back? I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I came.”

“I didn’t do anything foolish!” Rayna retorted. No longer in the mood to speak to him, she stalked down

the stairs and climbed into the car parked at the entrance.

Meanwhile, Curtis remained on the stairs. “Aren’t you going to help me?”

“Get moving yourself!”

Curtis merely stared at her expressionlessly.

Only when Rayna had finished saying that did she remember that the man was in a wheelchair and

couldn’t get moving by himself. Stifling her laughter, she got out of the car and retraced her steps to lend

him a hand.

As she scrutinized his physique, she had the urge to try and lift him. “How about I carry you?”

I bet he hasn’t gained any weight since he’s just been sitting in the wheelchair all day.

“I’d like to retain some dignity. If you dare do so, Rayna, you’ll be dead.” Curtis clutched at the armrests,

fearful that she would scoop him up. His voice was as cold as ice.

At that, Rayna curled her lips.

After expending much effort, she finally settled the man into the car. She then told the driver to drive

them back to Bulgari Hotel. Finding the diamonds on her neck too cumbersome, she wanted to remove

the necklace.

Unexpectedly, the clasp was too intricate that she couldn’t unfasten it even after trying for a long while.

Left with no other choice, she could only seek help from Curtis. “Please help me for a bit, Mr. Faymon. I

can’t unfasten it.”

Curtis found the yellow diamond necklace exceedingly irritating, so his face was blanketed with a layer of

frost when he moved to unclasp it. “How generous of Jefferson to buy this necklace for a hundred

million!”

“It wasn’t that he was generous. Instead, you two had nothing better to do and jacked the price up! This

necklace is only worth fifty million or so at most, yet both of you just had to bid on it. It’s a blessing if half

of the money goes to those who really need it!” Rayna scoffed.

That was a hundred million!

Her heart ached at the mere thought of it.

I could’ve bought a sizeable mansion and reared a cat or a dog with that much money. Yet, Jefferson

purchased this necklace, telling me to smash it if I disliked it. Well, I suppose money is just paper in the

hands of a wealthy heir!

Curtis’ eyes narrowed into slits, and he pinched the back of her neck with moderate strength. Clapping a

hand over her neck, Rayna promptly snapped her head back and glared at him. “Why did you pinch

me?”

“My hands slipped while unfastening the necklace. I thought you liked that diamond pendant a lot. Why

aren’t you wearing it?” Curtis questioned airily, handing her the yellow diamond necklace.

“Jefferson took it off just now.” While saying that, Rayna rummaged in her bag, presuming that Jefferson

placed it there. Alas, she couldn’t find it even after turning everything inside out. “Huh? Why isn’t it here?”

At once, Curtis remembered seeing Jefferson throwing something away earlier. Well, I suppose it was

the diamond pendant.

“Forget it if you lost it,” he sneered.

Rayna almost went unhinged. “You’re all insane! That necklace was a customized piece by Van Cleef &

Arpels, at the very least! That’s money! I’m going to lose my mind sooner or later to mix with the lot of

you so much!”

She had the driver return to the hotel.

Seeing her in such a panic, Curtis felt inexplicably relieved, and his knitted brows relaxed. “You like it that

much?”

“I care about the money!”

When the car arrived back at the hotel, Rayna hurriedly climbed out of the car. By the time she made her

way to the banquet hall, all the guests had left, and seven to eight janitors were cleaning the place.

Crap!

Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to find the diamond pendant, she went to the manager on duty and

explained the situation, asking to check the surveillance footage.

From the surveillance footage, they saw that a janitor happened to sweep the diamond pendant with the

trash while cleaning and threw it into a large trash bag. Then, the trash bag which was filled to the brim

was dragged out by another janitor.

When Rayna and the manager on duty went to the back of the hotel, the trash in the trash can had been

taken away by the garbage truck.

Just then, Curtis, who had waited an eternity for her to return, showed up.

“Forget it since it’s already taken to the dumping ground. I’ll have another necklace customized for you,”

Curtis coaxed. He was no longer angry after discerning that she really cherished the necklace he gave

her.

However, Rayna shook her head. “It won’t be the same.”

She ordered the driver to send Curtis back to the hotel first while she went to the dumping ground with

the manager on duty.

Unbeknownst to her, her inadvertent words had an indescribable emotion pervading Curtis. He didn’t

return to the hotel but had the driver tail the two of them instead.

Before reaching the dumping ground, the various rotten stench wafting in the air triggered the urge to

heave from afar.

There were too many black trash bags at the dumping ground. Putting on a mask, Rayna and the

manager on duty alighted from the car and split up to search. She was lucky, for she successfully

secured the location of the trash that had been delivered a while ago.

Ripping the trash bags open, she rummaged through innumerable rubbish, the pungent stink penetrating

through the mask. She had never expected her first visit to a dumping site to be in search of a necklace.

Needless to say, it meant a lot to her.

It was a gift from Curtis before disaster struck them. If it weren’t for the necklace supporting her and

encouraging her, she would probably still be timid, unable to take the position of acting CEO of Faymon

Group.

“Found it!”

At long last, Rayna whipped out the necklace from a mound of cream frosting. Although it was filthy, the

diamond still sparkled under the light.

Curtis remained more than ten meters away from her.

He had mild germaphobia, so he really couldn’t believe that he actually came to such a place. His brows

were creased so deeply that they might leave permanent marks. But seeing the bright smile on her face

as she gazed at the diamond pendant she had recovered, he found everything bearable.

While the diamond pendant had been found, it was too dirty. After rinsing it with water, Rayna wrapped it

in a piece of tissue before taking a taxi back to Bulgari Hotel with Curtis.

She went up to the reception desk and booked a room for him.

“Which room are you in?” Curtis queried casually.

“The presidential suite.”

“In that case, there’s no need to book another room. I’ll stay with you. It’s just a night anyway,” Curtis

suggested.

“Wouldn’t that be inappropriate? I prepared it for Jefferson, after all.” In order to cheer Jefferson up

during the seven-day vacation, Rayna begrudgingly spent a fortune and reserved the presidential suite. If

she were to move out, it would be too much of a waste.

“Can he occupy all the rooms when there are so many? Besides, I have limited mobility. You’re asking

me to stay alone?” Not only was Curtis unfazed by her remark, but he even flaunted his legs on purpose.

“You can ask Ms. Sanders—”

Curtis cut her off right away, his tone disgruntled. “She said she isn’t free!”

That left Rayna without any further arguments.

Fine, then.

Hence, she told the receptionist that she had changed her mind and kept her card before wheeling Curtis

away.

She hadn’t gone far when the two receptionists’ gossiping voices drifted into her ears.

“Wow, this lady is really voracious! Where does she find such handsome men? I wonder what tactics she

pulled.”

“Well, she’s truly ravenous to even make a move against someone in a wheelchair!”

“I don’t mind the wheelchair if I’ve got such a handsome boyfriend. I can do all the work while he

relaxes!”

What the h*ll?

The conversation between the two receptionists was just too filthy that Rayna couldn’t stand it anymore.

She stormed back and slammed her purse onto the reception desk, giving the duo such a shock that

they stared at her blankly.
