His Precious Love

Chapter 342 The Same Scarf

The thought of the silly man who took everything upon himself tightened Rayna’s throat.

Soon, the elevator reached her floor.

As she was walking toward her room, she haphazardly wiped her cheeks dry. She only entered the

room after she concealed her emotions.

The moment she stepped into the room, she caught a whiff of the aroma of food.

She thought Jefferson had ordered dinner, but when she arrived in the dining area, she saw a whole

table of delicious dishes and a slender figure busying away in the open kitchen.

Did he cook these dishes? Rayna was stunned for a while by the familiar smell of food. “Jefferson?”

she voiced.

“You’re back!” Jefferson turned around to glance at her before continuing what he was doing. “It’s

Christmas Eve in Chanaea today. Don’t you guys have a traditional dinner on this day? I thought you

would be sick of the food served by the hotel, so I asked them to send me some ingredients so that I

can do some cooking. I hope you’ll find the dishes tasty.”

Rayna was on the verge of crying, but she feigned nonchalance and answered, “I didn’t know you can

cook! Wow! Everything smells so nice, so they must be delicious. I can’t wait to taste them!”

With that, she picked up a fork and tasted the braised eggplant. When she saw Jefferson coming out

with a pot of soup, she gave him a thumbs-up and praised, “This tastes so good! You’re as impressive

as a professional chef!”

Seeing how much she liked the food, Jefferson flashed a smile and served her a bowl of soup. “Have

some soup first, okay?”

“Sure!”

It was a bowl of creamy mushroom soup. The mushroom was so fresh that she could smell the

mushrooms.

Rayna took two sips of the soup and froze. This isn’t the first time I’m drinking this soup. The taste is so

familiar! I think I’ve had this before.

Rayna looked at the bowl of soup, and she suddenly remembered that she had something identical

when she went to a restaurant in a hotel in Jetroina. She then couldn’t help but look at Jefferson and

asked, “Where did you learn how to cook?”

“I learned from a chef working at my family’s manor a few years ago. What’s the matter? Does it taste

bad?” Jefferson asked.

Rayna shook her head in response. She seemed to have figured something out when she pursed her

lips and asked, “When I went to Jetroina back then, the soup I had was very similar to this one. D-Did

you make the soup back then?”

“Yes. That was me,” Jefferson admitted. However, he didn’t think it was a big deal. “I like to cook. When

I saw you guys going to the restaurant for breakfast, I went to look for the chefs in the kitchen and

asked if I could cook.”

Still holding the bowl of soup in her hands, Rayna’s tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably. At

that time, I was still wondering who the chef was because the soup was that delicious. Now I know it

was him! He has never left me. Instead, he has been following me discreetly.

When Jefferson saw her cry, he immediately rushed toward her and wiped the tears off of her cheeks

with his fingers. In an anxious tone, he asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you crying? Is the food

bad?”

Rayna cried even harder when she heard that. “Jefferson, please don’t treat me so nicely. Y-You ought

to think for yourself,” she stammered. I owe him too much! How am I ever going to repay him?

Upon hearing that, Jefferson breathed a sigh of relief.

With a smile on his face, he consoled, “You’re out every day trying to save my life. Since I can’t help

you with that, I can only cook for you. It’s only right that I treat you well. If you like the soup so much, I’ll

make it for you every day.”

“No! I don’t want that!” Rayna shook her head violently. “I want you to live a long life and have your own

life. I’m such a dumb person. I don’t deserve your love.”

Jefferson wiped the tears off of her face and uttered a gentle tone, “You can’t measure it that way. All

that matters to me is that I can make you happy. I am contented with that.”

He didn’t mind her foolishness at all. In fact, it would be even easier for him to keep her by his side.

Rayna held back her tears and warned, “You must live a long life so that I can repay you. I don’t like to

owe favors. Do you hear me?”

“I hear you.” Jefferson laughed. With his gentle gaze, he said, “In that case, I must make sure you owe

me a lot more favors. That way, you can stay by my side for the rest of your life to repay me.”

“Do you want me to still owe you favors when I’m in my seventies?”

“Yes. Why not?”

“You’re too much, Jefferson! You are heartless!”

“What do you mean? In fact, I’m very decent,” Jefferson answered in a serious manner.

Rayna couldn’t help but laugh after bickering with him. Consequently, her mood improved.

She then rolled her eyes at him and drank the soup happily. “I’m done with you! I’m going to drink my

soup now!”

“Do you want some spaghetti? I will get it for you.”

“No. Spaghetti is high in calories. I’ll have the whole pot of soup!”

The dishes Jefferson made were so tasty, so Rayna ended up drinking the whole pot of soup and

eating a whole plate of spaghetti. In the end, she was so full that she couldn’t even get up from the

couch.

While rubbing her tummy, she pleaded, “Chef, please don’t ever cook again. Everything was so

delicious! I couldn’t stop myself from eating. At this rate, I’m going to be as round as a ball very soon!”

Jefferson brought out a cup of coffee and sized her up. “You’re still so skinny. I bet you weigh less than

ninety pounds. I think I’m going to need a long time to turn you into a ball.”

“You’re so evil and cunning!” Rayna glared at him.

After rubbing her tummy for a while, she got up from the couch and said, “You haven’t been out in such

a long time. Would you like to go for a walk?”

“Am I allowed to go out?”

“Hey! You aren’t imprisoned, you know?” Rayna laughed. “Although it’s rather cold outside, it’s

Christmas Eve. I would like to take a stroll with you. Let’s join the lively scene outside.”

Jefferson smiled brightly and answered, “Sure! I’ll get changed.”

“Wear a down jacket!” Rayna urged before going to her room to get changed as well.

The thick down jacket she wore was concealing her slim figure. Hence, she ended up looking slightly

plump.

Soon, Jefferson came out after getting changed.

The down jacket he wore made him look even taller and more gentle. In fact, he exuded the aura of a

rich heir.

Rayna glanced at him before taking a good look at herself. “I’m actually so slim! Why do I look like a

granny after putting on the down jacket? On the other hand, you look even more handsome!” she

grumbled.

Jefferson smiled gently and stared at her fixedly. “Nonsense. You’re still as beautiful as ever. To be

honest, I don’t even feel like going out anymore. I don’t want anyone else to feast their eyes on you.”

Rayna blushed and let out a cough awkwardly. “Why aren’t you wearing a scarf? Your neck is going to

feel cold.”

“Scarf?”

“Wait here. I’ll grab one for you!” Rayna didn’t mind walking around for a bit after such a heavy meal.

Hence, she immediately went into Jefferson’s room to get a scarf for him before he could stop her.

Jefferson’s room was as big as hers, and it was squeaky clean.

Rayna didn’t see his suitcase in the room, and there weren’t any clothes lying around. She assumed he

kept his clothes in the closet, so she went ahead to open his closet. All she saw were two coats and a

few shirts in there. That’s all the clothes he has?

As Rayna was grumbling inwardly, she went through the clothes and saw a grey scarf tucked inside a

black coat. She was baffled when she saw the scarf.

That scarf… Why does it look so familiar? She then reached out her hand to touch it and pull out the

little tag inside the scarf. When she saw the tag, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in disbelief.
