His Precious Love

When he finished his sentence, Gabriel noticed something was off. He studied Rayna curiously and asked, “Did you

sleep here last night, Ms. Garland?”

“Yes.”

Gabriel gasped, finally understanding why Curtis looked displeased with him last night. It’s because I almost ruined

Mr. Faymon’s plan.

Gabriel scooted over and asked nosily, “So, are you and Mr. Faymon back together?”

Gabriel knew Curtis well enough. After all, he had been working for him for many years. He wouldn’t have gone to

Yartran to help her last time or let her sleep here last night if he didn’t still have feelings for her. The only ones who

have slept here were Ms. Garland and his pets. Hmph! I’ll never forget how he chased me out last year when I

wanted to sleep on the couch after working here until midnight. Even his pets live a better life than me.

“We already broke up. We’ll never get back together,” Rayna said plainly.

Still remembering Curtis’ words from last night, she decided to cut ties with him and not hold any hope.

Her answer put Gabriel in a daze. “B-But you slept here last night…”

“Mr. Faymon was just being kind. He let me stay here because of the rain.”

Gabriel was even more stunned.

He could not believe her words after the way Curtis chased him away last night.

Rayna ignored him and went into the kitchen with the dishes. Knowing the cleaner would drop by later, she did not

wash the dishes and only soaked them in the sink.

As she stepped out of the kitchen, she spotted two baskets of oranges in the corner of the hall. A dejected look

flashed across her eyes.

After some time, Rayna said to Gabriel, “Please help me carry these baskets of oranges to the car. I’ll get my things

packed and leave in a while.” Seeing Gabriel was not moving, Rayna called out, “Mr. Tylinski?”

“Huh? What do I need to carry?” asked Gabriel as he snapped back to his senses.

Rayna pointed to the corner, which made him glance in the direction of her finger. He almost cursed out loud when

he saw the baskets.

Don’t tell me Mr. Faymon asked someone to deliver this last night. He treats her so well. Not only did he let her

crash at his place, but he also made breakfast for her. Then again, why does Ms. Garland look so indifferent about

it?

All kinds of deductions popped into his mind. However, he knew there was no point in asking Rayna all those

questions. He rolled up his sleeves and swiftly carried the baskets of oranges to the car.

Rayna went to the cattery and found a square cage.

Just as she was about to place Happy in the cage, she realized it had disappeared. Even Lucky was missing.

“Happy? Happy?” Rayna shouted.

Right then, she heard a faint yet graceful meow. It came from behind the cabinet.

Rayna walked over and peered at the gap beside the cabinet. Sure enough, the chubby Happy was stuck there.

“What are you doing here?” Rayna said exasperatedly.

Thankfully, it was just a custom-made wooden cabinet used to store sundries, so it did not take long for her to move

it.

Happy leaped out immediately and wagged its tail.

Rayna was about to push the cabinet back to its place when she spotted a red item there.

Unable to ignore it, she slipped her hand through the gap and took it out. It was a red cloth wrapped around

something hard. The second she unwrapped it, a charm came into view. It had the design of the goddess of fertility

surrounded by children carved into it.

Isn’t this… a fertility charm?

As she was wondering why the charm was placed in the gap beside the cabinet, she recalled overhearing Curtis

asking Alfred what he was hiding behind the cabinet when he returned home one day. She had tried to take a peek

after Alfred left, but Curtis stopped her.

So, this was what Old Mr. Faymon was hiding.

Glancing at her belly, Rayna could not help but chuckle. “Who would’ve guessed it’d work?”

Alas, she had broken up with Curtis. It was inappropriate for her to tell Alfred about the children.

“Ms. Garland, are you done packing?” Gabriel’s voice sounded close. He seemed to have entered the house.

Rayna had wanted to return the fertility charm to where it was, but she hesitated for a moment and hurriedly

stuffed it into the cage along with Happy.

The idea of Stella visiting the house in the future and getting pregnant made Rayna panic.

Just then, Gabriel appeared beside her.

“Is there anything you need me to carry, Ms. Garland?”

Shaking her head, Rayna said, “I don’t have anything here. I just have to take my cat. By the way, I don’t see Lucky

anywhere. I called out its name, but there was no response. I wonder where it went.”

As soon as she finished her sentence, Lucky came dashing down the stairs with a scarf in its mouth while wagging

its tail furiously.

At first, Rayna was taken by surprise, thinking Stella had popped by the house that morning and left something

behind. However, after careful observation, Rayna realized it was the dark blue scarf she used to wear in the past.

A conflicted look was written all over her face as she accepted the scarf from Lucky.

It wagged its tail and nuzzled its head against her leg.

Gabriel chuckled. “Lucky is as smart as its father. It noticed you left something behind, so it purposely brought it to

you.”

“Indeed.” Rayna stuffed the scarf into her pocket and patted Lucky’s head. “I’m leaving now.”

Still, Lucky continued nuzzling against her leg and wagging its tail.

“All right, stop wagging your tail.” Gabriel waved Lucky away and ushered Rayna out of the house.

Soon, Gabriel sent her to her condominium and even helped her to carry the two baskets of oranges into the house.

After that, he took out a document and handed it to her. “Mr. Faymon asked me to give this to you when I’m here.”

Rayna took the document and flipped it open. It was the agreement for the collaboration between Faymon Group

and Glory Corporation. What surprised her the most was that the price requested by Faymon Group was two times

lower than the market price. On top of that, they did not want any dividends.

She pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what to say.

He wants to cut ties with me, but he still takes care of me as though worried I’d get bullied.

Regardless, Faymon Group’s employees were the best in the industry. She did not bother being melodramatic and

accepted the offer. “Please thank Mr. Faymon for me. Do you know where Wyatt is? Can you please look him up for

me?”

She had wanted to ask Curtis about it, but they were on bad terms with each other, so she dismissed the notion.

Gabriel said, “Mr. Lopez is in the office. Lopez Group is quite busy these days. In fact, I’m going there later. If you’re

in a hurry to meet him, you can come with me.”

Rayna was speechless. “Geez, I wouldn’t have sent you such a long message if I had known. I could’ve just asked

you to bring me along to Lopez Group.”

“Huh? When did you send me that text?”

“Last night. Have you become a muddlehead from all the work?” asked Rayna. She even showed him the chat

history on WhatsApp.

Realization dawned on Gabriel the moment he saw the profile picture. Mr. Faymon took this number from me long

ago.

Even so, he did not reveal the truth. “Oh, right, I was too busy last night that this slipped my mind. Anyway, let’s

leave now, or it’ll be hard to meet Mr. Lopez once he leaves for a business meeting.”

Rayna was rendered speechless.

Thanks to Gabriel, Rayna managed to arrive at the CEO’s office of Lopez Group with no restrictions.

Upon entering the office, Gabriel displayed several documents on the table. “Mr. Lopez, Mr. Faymon instructed me

to pass these to you. Ms. Garland is here, too. She needs to speak to you.”

Rayna saw Wyatt look up and scrutinize her. He was exuding a gloomy aura, unlike his languid and nonchalant self

from the past.

She instantly felt her heart lurch with dread.

Is he still the same person I know from the past?

Wyatt seemed to be annoyed by her presence. He spat impatiently, “What do you want?”
