Chapter 101 Worthy Of Marrying Me

Jessica quickly invited them in and pointed out to him where Rayna’s bedroom was.

Curtis carried Rayna into the bedroom. Right when he was about to put her down on the bed, he

suddenly felt a wet patch on his arm. His expression turned solemn immediately, and he carried her to

the bathroom instead.

Jessica followed from behind and asked, “What’s the matter, Mr. Faymon?”

“She’s on her period.” Curtis put Rayna in the bathtub and saw that his white shirt was dyed red. Seeing

that, he couldn’t help twitching his eyebrows.

He then cleaned his shirt up with running water and said to Jessica, “Clean her up. I’m leaving.”

“Okay. Take care, Mr. Faymon.”

Curtis left and closed the door behind him. His sleeves were wet, so they were stuck on his skin. Despite

having them washed, there were still faint red patches on them.

He then rolled his sleeves up to expose his muscular arms.

When he was in the elevator, flashbacks of Rayna playing cards in Plum Blossoms were running through

his mind. He couldn’t help but smile when he recalled how courageous Rayna was when she was

playing against Gavin. She’s skillful and vicious. Ms. Garland, there are things only you can do.

After sending Curtis back, Naomi drove back to Cerulean Bay. The condominium she went into was just

a stone’s throw away from Rayna’s. Already familiar with her surroundings, she went up to the twenty-

sixth floor.

The condominium she went into was beautifully decorated. It was a duplex condominium with a vintage

vibe and floor-to-ceiling windows all around. The moment Naomi stepped in, she saw a man standing in

front of the windows and talking on the phone.

The man was tall and lean. As he was leaning against the window, his figure was almost blending into

the darkness.

She took off her shoes and tiptoed toward him before hugging him from behind. While running her

delicate fingers over his chest, she unbuttoned his shirt to caress his muscular chest.

However, the man grabbed her wrist when her fingers came into contact with his muscles. He wasn’t

holding on to her wrist with force, but it was enough to stop her from moving. Instead of turning toward

her, he was still talking on the phone. “Yes. That’s the price. Go on and settle the matter,” he said in a

deep voice.

Jefferson only turned around and casually pulled the woman’s hand out of his shirt after he was done

with the phone call. The lights shone on his facial features, making him look gentle and handsome.

“How did your stalking go?” Jefferson asked.

“Every time I come over, you’re always asking me about work. Can’t you show me some concern?”

Naomi was no longer acting professionally. Instead, she was grumbling with a pout.

After she grumbled, she leaned toward Jefferson and stood on her toes to give him a kiss. The smell of

the perfume she was wearing was creeping into his nose, but Jefferson ended up turning away to avoid

her kiss.

Feeling angry, Naomi shook him off and went to the fridge to get something to drink.

“Are you throwing a tantrum?” Jefferson followed her from behind. While running his fingers through her

hair, he uttered gently, “Once everything is done, I’ll let you have a vacation.”

“I don’t want a vacation! I want you to change your attitude!” Naomi glared at him and fumed, “I’m your

fiancée, but you’re always avoiding me. Do you hate me, Colbert?”

Jefferson flashed a faint smile and kissed her cheek. “Why would I hate you? You’re my fiancée, and

because of that, I’ve been showing you the utmost respect. Besides, we have a lot of things to do in

Chanaea. I don’t want you to get exhausted.”

“Really?”

With a gentle gaze, Jefferson asked, “Don’t you trust me?”

“Of course, I trust you.” It seemed as though Naomi’s mood had been lifted. She kissed him and left her

lipstick stain on his cheek. After that, she told him about what happened in Faymon Group.

Naomi wasn’t holding back any information. She started by telling him about picking up Curtis and Rayna

at the airport. Then, she told him that the police wanted to take Rayna away for an investigation, but

Curtis ended up vouching for Rayna. She also told him about how Curtis had sent Rayna home after the

latter got drunk when she was playing cards at Plum Blossoms.

“I’ve been wondering if there’s something going on between Curtis and Rayna. Apart from Kristie, I’ve

never seen anyone behave so casually with Curtis. When Rayna said she was on her period and asked

Curtis to help her rub her belly, he ended up helping. Besides, his attitude toward her isn’t distant at all.

Don’t you find that weird?” As Naomi was talking, she turned away to fetch herself a glass of water.

Hence, she didn’t see the flash of annoyance that appeared on Jefferson’s face when she was telling him

about Curtis and Rayna.

“Oh, wait!” Naomi turned toward Jefferson and asked curiously, “I heard you were once in a relationship

with Rayna. What’s your impression of her?”

“It was just a short relationship, so I don’t remember much of her.” Jefferson smiled faintly. “With her

background, she’s not even qualified to be a maid in the Terblanc family. Why would I even fall for her?”

“Is that so?” Naomi threw him a glance and added, “However, I think she’s smart. Why do you think a

man like Curtis would be so friendly with her? I think he needs her help. Mr. Ziegler, the vice CEO of

Faymon Group, is so powerful that it’s safe to say he holds absolute power. However, Curtis hasn’t done

anything in response. Curtis only said Mr. Ziegler is a respected man in Faymon Group, and it seemed

as though Curtis was willing to let Mr. Ziegler do whatever he wanted. In that case, why is Curtis roping

Rayna in? Could it be that Curtis is into Rayna?”

Immediately, Jefferson refuted her theory by saying, “I’ve dealt with Curtis before, so I know he wouldn’t

let his emotions get the better of him. He finds Rayna smart, so he just wants to use her. Moreover, he’s

letting Mr. Ziegler do whatever he wants because he wants Mr. Ziegler to think that there’s nothing he

could do in retaliation.”

“Are you saying that Curtis is plotting something?” Naomi figured out what was going on. “Curtis is going

after all the employees in Faymon Group, isn’t he?”

“After all, Faymon Group belongs to the Faymon family. He won’t allow others to behave arrogantly.”

Jefferson smiled. “We just need to strike when Faymon Group is in its weakest state. That way, all we

need is a single move.”

In fact, there were similarities between Jefferson’s situation and Curtis’. They both had hurdles to

overcome in their respective families, and they always had to be wary of the people around them. Hence,

Jefferson could relate to Curtis’ thought process.

“Bringing Faymon Group down, isn’t that the reason you brought me here?” Naomi smiled and leaned on

his chest. “Once we’re done, what do you have in mind for me?”

“Don’t you want to go on a vacation?”

“What’s the point of that? It’s not like you’re going to keep me company!” Naomi complained.

Upon saying that, she grabbed onto his collar and forced him to lower his head. With little to no distance

between their faces, she asked, “Why don’t we get married after we’re done with this?”

Jefferson smiled and shook his head. While stroking her hair, he answered in a gentle tone, “How is that

possible? I need to wait for my elder brother to get married first before getting married myself.”

“What? That’s so troublesome!”

“Well, he’s my elder brother, so I must respect him.” Jefferson caressed her cheek and suggested, “Why

don’t you introduce your friends to him? Once he gets married, we’ll be able to marry each other, no?”

His fingers were cold as ice, and Naomi couldn’t help but shiver when she heard those words.

Although she thought she had concealed her reaction, Jefferson noticed it.

“I have a lot of friends, but they aren’t impressive. What if your brother is picky? Forget about it. Let’s

only talk about marriage next time,” Naomi murmured.

“Yes. Our priority now is to deal with Faymon Group.” With a smile on his face, Jefferson said, “It’s late.

Go to bed, okay?”

“Okay. Rest early.”

Jefferson’s smile turned insidious after he heard the sound of the door closing. He was so irritated by the

lipstick stain on his cheek that he couldn’t wait to rub it off with a napkin.

“Marry me? You’re not worthy,” he sneered.

All along, there was only one woman he wanted to marry, and that woman was the only person worthy of

marrying him.
