His Precious Love

Curtis chuckled lightly. “Those fruit farmers are all from some research institutes. They specialize in the

research and cultivation of high-quality fruits. Only the Faymon family and the companies in important

collaborations with Faymon Group get to enjoy these fruits.”

Rayna was at a loss for words upon hearing that. It took her a great deal to swallow that segment of

orange in her mouth before she blurted out, “The life of the wealthy is so da*n good!”

Curtis laughed. “I can get the fruit picker to send you some fresh fruits daily.”

“Really?”

“But how are you going to reward me, Ms. Garland?”

Rayna fumed, “I’ve slogged my guts out for Faymon Group. Isn’t that enough?”

“That’s Faymon Group’s matter. They’ll compensate you with an annual salary of one million,” Curtis

retorted. “But I have to fork out money to buy you fruits, Ms. Garland. You should reward me for that.”

“You—” Unable to find words to refute the man, Rayna glared at him furiously. “You’re truly a capitalist!”

Curtis rubbed his chin and came up with an idea. “How about this? You can send me a message every

day complimenting me that I’m the most handsome man and that you like me the most. In return, I’ll fork

out money to buy you fruits.”

Noticing the kitten beside the man’s feet, Rayna broke into a wide grin and beckoned to him. “All right,

Mr. Faymon. Come over here. I have something to tell you.”

“You can’t possibly have a tapping device in this living room, right?”

“Just come here!” Rayna purposely put on a whiny tone. “I’m embarrassed to say it out loud.”

Even though Curtis suspected something afoul, he gulped and walked over as he could not resist seeing

her do alluring actions like biting her lips. At the same time, the kitten got up and trailed behind.

Before Curtis could react, Rayna swiftly grabbed the feline into her embrace.

The next second, Curtis’ body froze.

“Look, Mr. Faymon. Happy loves you so much.” Rayna ignored the man’s darkened expression and

smiled gloatingly. “You like Happy too, right?”

“Are you having fun, Ms. Garland?” Curtis fixed his deep gaze on her.

His intimidating manner sent chills down Rayna’s spine, and she quickly put the kitten down after flashing

him a sheepish smile. But as soon as she did so, the man scooped her into his arms. “Since you’re done

with the footbath, let me carry you in.”

Rayna struggled to break free from the man’s grip. “I’m not done yet!”

“Fifteen minutes is enough.”

After entering the room, Curtis threw her on the bed. He was emanating a domineering aura from head

to toe as he pressed his body against hers and uttered in a deep voice, “You can have as much fun as

you want. I have plenty of time.”

“I don’t like that…” Faced with the man before her, Rayna could barely resist him. “Go to sleep first, Mr.

Faymon. I still have work to finish.”

“Am I not any more interesting than work?”

What followed was an utter silence.

Lifting into a smirk, Curtis pulled Rayna’s hand to touch his Adam’s apple suggestively. Rayna was so

mesmerized by the man’s pleasant scent that she almost gave in to him.

Just then, a vague ringtone rang out from the living room. That instantly dragged Rayna back to her

senses.

“I’ll go and answer the phone!” She mustered all her strength to push Curtis away, rolled off the bed,

opened the door, and ran out of the room in deft and quick movements. Within five seconds, she picked

up the phone in the living room.

“Hello?”

“Boohoo! Ms. Garland!” Upon hearing Rayna’s voice, Jordan, on the other end of the line, burst into

tears. “You have finally answered my call.”

Rayna comforted, “Stop crying. What’s wrong?”

“Y-Your car exploded…”

“Exploded?” Rayna cried out in shock. “Are you all right, then? Where are you now?”

Despite throwing Jordan a barrage of questions, Rayna did not get a response from the former. Bringing

the phone into her sight, she realized the call had ended long ago.

Thinking of how Jordan was probably not in a good shape, Rayna grew anxious and hurriedly contacted

Wyatt as she returned to her room to get changed.

When Curtis saw the panic-looking Rayna, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The car I lent Jordan exploded.” While waiting for Wyatt to answer the phone, she explained the

situation to Curtis. “She only said a few words before the call got cut off. Something must’ve happened to

her.”

“You’re calling Wyatt?”

“Yes. I want him to help me track down Jordan’s location.”

“He’s too slow. I’ll get someone else to do it.” Curtis grabbed his phone and quickly made a call. Without

wasting any time, he instructed the call recipient to track Jordan’s location as he hastily followed Rayna

out.

About two and a half hours later, Rayna and Curtis arrived at the hospital where Jordan was admitted.

“Ms. Garland? Mr. Faymon? How did you manage to find your way here?” Jordan, who had a bandage

on her forehead while lying in a hospital bed, immediately struggled to sit up upon seeing Rayna and

Curtis’ arrival.

Rayna strode over to help her up. “Are you okay?”

Jordan nodded. “I’m sorry, Ms. Garland. My phone ran out of battery earlier, and I couldn’t find a

charger.”

“Where’s your boyfriend? Is he fine?”

“He’s all right. He got hit by something heavy on his back and suffered a fracture. He’s resting in another

room right now.” There was a hint of fear in Jordan’s eyes as she recounted the accident. “It’s lucky we

weren’t in the car when the explosion happened.”

Jordan recollected how she felt like vomiting while she and her boyfriend were on their way in the car.

She attributed her indigestion to the greasy food she had eaten earlier that day. Subsequently, she asked

her boyfriend to pull up so she could get out and look for a place to throw up. Her boyfriend grabbed a

bottle of water and followed her out of the car too.

In less than twenty seconds after they got out of the car, they heard a loud boom in the air—the vehicle

exploded. Jordan’s boyfriend, with his first instincts, quickly pounced on Jordan to shield her from the

impact but was unfortunately hit by a heavy object that was sent flying from the blast on his back.

“It was horrifying,” Jordan explained. “If I didn’t get out of the car because I wanted to throw up, we would

have continued with our journey. I bet our bodies would’ve turned into nothing with that explosion.”

“I’m sorry, Jordan.” Rayna felt her blood run cold, and the fear she was experiencing was made apparent

through her quivering voice. “It’s my fault for not checking before lending you the car. I’m very sorry.”

Jordan waved her hand in dismissal. “Don’t say that, Ms. Garland. Aren’t my boyfriend and I fine right

now? On the other hand, if you didn’t lend us the car, it would’ve been great trouble for us to return

home.”
