His Precious Love

Chapter 320

Jessica pursed her lips, struggling to find the words in the face of his concern for her. “I’m fine. Wyatt, I

think…”

She was tired and did not wish to explain herself to him, nor did she want to exact vengeance anymore.

The sun had risen, but the air was still damp and cold. Wyatt wrapped Jessica in his coat and led her

out. “We can talk about it another time. Let’s go home.”

Jessica sniffed at the musk on his coat. Her heart skipped a beat, but she said nothing.

The car sped all the way until it arrived at Wyatt’s residence.

He hung his coat on the rack when they crossed the threshold. “Go take a hot shower,” he said as he

rolled up his sleeves. “I’ll see if I can make you some risotto.”

He then scratched his head and muttered to himself, “I’ve never made risotto before. It can’t be that

hard…”

He had never cooked for anyone before.

Jessica wanted to laugh but felt awful from the anxiety wreaking havoc within her.

“Wyatt,” she called out.

He turned around and was about to answer her when she leaped over, wrapped her arms around his

neck, and kissed him.

Her soft lips felt moist and warm, with a hint of sweetness.

Unable to restrain himself, Wyatt grabbed her slim waist and pressed her against him, robbing her of her

breath.

The pair broke apart after a long while.

Jessica was panting slightly. Their foreheads were pressed together as they gasped for air. She kissed

him again on the lips and whispered, “Let’s do it.”

Wyatt was taken aback. “Now? You haven’t rested for two days. Aren’t you tired?”

Jessica shook her head and smiled salaciously. “I’m not the one who’ll be drained. Do you want to or

not? Forget that I mentioned it if you don’t want to.”

“Let’s do it.”

The house only regained its serenity over an hour later.

Because of Wyatt’s exhaustion over the past two days, he fell asleep with Jessica in his arms.

She gazed at the man in her arms and traced the cold, hard edges of his chiseled features downward

with her finger. The stubble on his chin tickled her.

He lay defenseless in her embrace.

Jessica’s finger stopped at his neck. Her mind wandered to the knife in the bedside cabinet on the right.

All I have to do is take it out and stab Wyatt in the neck. Without even a struggle, he would cease to

breathe within three seconds.

However, she could not bring herself to.

“Why do you fall in love so easily?” Jessica murmured, her fingers caressing his lips again, and recalled

the

passionate, white–hot kisses.

She hated herself for being soft and the guilt that had suddenly descended upon her and him.

Jessica leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. “Has nobody ever told you that beautiful women who

approach you often have no pure motives?”

How easy it was to con him.

Her phone lit up at the bedside cabinet. She unlocked it and saw a text message from a stranger.

It read: This is Gianna. Same place at five?

Jessica typed a reply, about to tell her that she did not wish to do business any longer and that the sum

would be deposited into her bank account as per usual, but hesitated when she was about to hit send.

She glanced at the soundly sleeping man beside her, and her gaze grew grim. She deleted everything

before replying: All right.

Due to negligence, Rayna had fallen quite ill upon returning from Jetroina.

She did not wish to waste time resting as she had just received Kingdoms Group’s project. But upon

noticing her hoarse voice and pale visage, Curtis forcibly detained her at home and had Gabriel monitor

her.

Rayna gazed helplessly at Gabriel, who had made her living room his office. “Don’t listen to Mr. Faymon.

Go back to your office, will you?”

“As an employee, I have to obey my employer,” Gabriel said sternly. He did not wish to be banished to

Norham for any fault Curtis might find with his performance.

I don’t know many people in Norham. They’ll bully me there!

Gabriel’s fingers flew across the keys on his laptop as he remarked, “It’s fortunate that Mr. Faymon has

urgent business to attend to in Saintnam. You wouldn’t even be able to look at your documents if he was

here caring for you.”

Rayna chuckled. “I suppose I should thank you, then?”

Gabriel handed her two more documents. “No worries, Mrs. Faymon. Look at these too. Although you

can’t discuss with your colleagues, you could familiarize yourself with them first.”

Rayna rolled her eyes at him.

No discussions with my colleagues and no laptops. It’s not the same to be merely reading the

documents.

Sprawled on the couch, Rayna perused her documents while occasionally helping herself to slices of

apples. Before she managed to have many, Gabriel came and took the plate away.

“Have less of this and more warm water instead, Mrs. Faymon.”

“You have some of this, Rayna burst out before suppressing the profanity she was about to utter and

forcing

a smile that looked more like a grimace. “Does my mother’s grilled pork smell good, Gabriel?”

“It does, but you can’t have apples,” Gabriel said earnestly. “I’m always on your side, Mrs. Faymon, but

I’m concerned about your health.”

“Hah!”

I see it now. What a jerk Curtis is! Despite being on his trip, he’s preventing me from spreading my illness

all over

the office. Besides, he sent Gabriel here for fear of Jessica taking my side. He has turned that girl against me.

Rayna was so angry that she turned her back to Gabriel before going back to her documents.

Her feet cramped up after a while, so she turned back around and saw him sending a text while smiling

as if spring had come.

“You look happy, Mr. Tylinski,” Rayna observed good–naturedly. “Do you have a girlfriend?”

Gabriel’s smile faded at once. “No. It’s just a classmate.”

Rayna refused to believe it. “Why would a classmate’s text message make you this happy? You should

build a rapport if she’s worth it. It’s about time you have a girlfriend.”

She then took the opportunity to press on, “Is she a classmate from grade school?”

“I’ve known her for a long time,” Gabriel answered after a brief hesitation. “We attended grade school

until university together.”

Rayna smiled warmly and pointed at him with the document in her hand. “Oh… Your first love, is she? I

heard you graduated from Salinsburgh University. Was it her alma mater as well?”

Gabriel appeared uncomfortable at the mention of his first love. “Yes. She’s exceptional and very pretty.

Many boys courted her when we were in school.”

“You like her too?”

Gabriel scratched the back of his head without responding in silent admittance.

Rayna sat up from the couch, her face alight with interest. “How cowardly of you to have never dared

confess after all this time from grade school to university! Is she single now?”

“She said being a professor doesn’t afford her the time to be in relationships.”

“It’s fate that brought you two back together,” Rayna mused, stroking her chin. “Where did you meet her

again? Did she come to Faymon Group to work?”

“No. I met her in Jetroina.”

“Jetroina?”

Gabriel nodded. “I saw her drinking at the club on Christmas Eve. Initially convinced I was mistaken, I

found her waiting for me at the entrance when I was about to leave after paying the bill. She said she

was on a trip to Jetroina with some friends and told me I looked familiar, like an old classmate. It was

only after we exchanged names that we realized we were indeed classmates. That’s how we met again.”
