Chapter 606
Wyatt could only slap himself after getting berated, however. “This is your fault!” he said to himself. “Why couldn't
you say anything better?”
Jessica roared with laughter.
At night, the nanny took care of the baby while Wyatt brought Jessica to bed.
“Have you thought about what to name our son?” Jessica asked as she lay in his arms. “Mom asked us to name
him.”
Wyatt quietly ran his fingers through her hair. A while later, he said, “Why don't we have him take on the Marsh
family name?”
Jessica lifted her head to look at him.
“Once the procedures are done, I'll transfer a few companies under your name. He can manage them himself
when he's older. Someone needs to take care of Bianca's side of the family.”
Jessica froze before burying her head into the man's arms. “No...”
“Why not?”
“I know there are things you need to take into consideration, but you can't forget about Mom. We'll have him take
on the Lopez family name and let Mom take care of him,” Jessica said. “When we have a daughter next time, we'll
have her take the Marsh family name and have her take care of Bianca's side.”
“Are we having another child?” Wyatt liked children, but the memory of the pregnant woman's screams was
traumatizing. “Why don't we stop at this boy? I don't want you to suffer again.”
Jessica pinched his cheek and chuckled. “I'm glad that you're thinking for me, but I doubt my second child will hurt
much since my first was quick to come.”
Narrowing her eyes, she then uttered, “One more child. Also, you're not allowed to pull a fast one on me, got it?”
“Okay, okay. We'll talk about this another time,” Wyatt relented.
There was nothing else he could do about it; his wife would dismiss anything he said to her.
The welcome baby party of Wyatt and Jessica's child, Hugo Lopez, was a low-key one. It was held at Gratia Hotel,
and they only invited their good friends and the important clients of the company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJasmine's physical therapy had gone smoothly over the past month.
She and Theodore brought Carl to Hugo's party with expensive gifts.
Upon finding out the name of the boy, Rayna asked Jessica, “Did you name him, or was he the one who named
him?”
“It was me.”
Rayna huffed immediately. “I knew it! What kind of good name can someone like him be able to give the boy?”
Jasmine laughed. “Have you not patched things up with him?”
“Never!” Rayna took a sip of her juice before scowling. “How dare he hit me and take my best friend away? He'll be
on my blacklist forever!”
Coincidentally, Carl walked past them at that time. When he heard Rayna's words, he sneakily went to Wyatt's side
and told them what Rayna had said. He then grimly looked at Wyatt and asked, “Do you understand now, Mr.
Wyatt?”
Wyatt rubbed his nose. “I'll apologize to her now, I guess.”
“No.” Carl shook his head. In a solemn tone, he continued, “Don't mess with women. Women bear grudges easily.”
At that, the men laughed.
The party went on until after two in the afternoon. Wyatt then sent the guests off.
When Wyatt saw Curtis bringing Rayna over, he walked to them and sincerely said, “I admit that I've done wrong in
the past. Let me apologize to you. Please don't grow distant from Jessie because of our matter.”
“My relationship with Jessie remains fantastic. You don't hold as much influence over us as you think you do,” Rayna
said in a gentle voice, smiling. “If you ever do get a divorce, please remember to tell me about it. I'll bring her back
to my place to stay.”
The corner of Wyatt's lips twitched.
She's got such a sharp tongue. Isn't it my son's party today? Is it really appropriate for her to say such words to me
today?
Curtis only chuckled quietly at the side. He did not intend to help Wyatt out at all. In fact, he towed Rayna away
right after she delivered her piece, making Wyatt speechless from his fury.
After getting into the car, Curtis leaned over to buckle the safety belt for Rayna. At the same time, he nonchalantly
said, “Have you forgotten about something?”
“Hm?” Rayna's head was hanging as she typed a reply to her assistant on her phone. “What is it?”
Rayna had been preoccupied with her work the moment she came out of the hotel, and she never once spared
Curtis a glance. Thus, Curtis took her phone away and leaned closer to her.
Rayna drew her brows closer and gave him a kiss.
When the man remained still, she gave him another kiss. “All right. Don't push your luck. We're still at the side of the
road.”
“Do you know that Theodore and Jasmine have gotten married?” Curtis squeezed the flesh beneath her jaw. “Ever
since you took over Terblanc Group, you've become busier than me. Are you setting aside the important matters
now?”
Rayna gave a quiet “oh” before reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck. “I think things are good like this
between us. I'm yours, and the kids are yours. We won't run off. I'll analyze this for you, all right? If we get married,
they'll find out about your marital status and who you're married to once they look into your information. It'll affect
you quite a bit. Also, if the shareholders at Terblanc Group find out that we're married, I have no idea what tricks
they're going to use next to force me into selling the shares of the company.”
Nodding to herself, Rayna then asked, “I think maintaining the status quo is the best, Darling. Don't you think so
too?”
The man just stared at her.
His unblinking gaze made the hairs on the back of her neck stand, and she leaned over to peck him once more.
“Say something, Darling. If you think that won't work, we can discuss this again.”
“No, it's completely fine. I'll listen to everything you say.” Curtis pulled her hands away and sat back in his seat with
a sneer. “Your plan is perfect. Flawless, really.”
Rayna could hear the strange tone he had, so she turned and asked, “Darling, are you angry?”
“You think too much. I won't get mad over something as trivial as this.”
Rayna just gave him a long look.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite his words, Curtis barely said anything to Rayna on their way back.
In the past, he would chat with her and hug her before sleeping, but now, he had moved to the study room to work.
Only when Rayna fell asleep around one to two in the morning did he come back to the bedroom.
Three days of receiving the cold shoulder later, Rayna could not take it anymore.
Early in the morning, she went to Linda to complain. “He's too much! I never said I never wanted to marry. I just
wanted to delay it a year or two. Did he have to give me the cold shoulder? He's so irritating!”
“Curtis is doing this for the children. They're older now.” Linda brought a cup of tea for Rayna. “Moreover, he's not
a young man anymore. He's already thirty-two.”
“He's not thirty-two yet, right? It isn't his birthday yet.” When Rayna unlocked her phone to look at the calendar, she
widened her eyes. “Oh my god, it's his birthday today! Why didn't my reminder notify me about this?”
At that, she quickly skimmed through her reminders, but she could not find anything about Curtis' birthday.
A while later, she finally realized she had probably deleted it by accident when she was clearing off her reminders
the other day.
Linda shook her head and went into her room.
When she came back out, a household registry was in her hands. Putting it in front of Rayna, she then said, “You
came over so early in the morning to get this, didn't you?”
“No way! He's too much! How can he give me the cold shoulder? You're my mom, so obviously I'll come to you if I
have grievances to air,” was what Rayna said, but she was swiftly keeping the household registry in her bag. “Thank
you for the household registry, however.”
How could Linda not know what her daughter, who she had raised, was thinking about?
In a solemn tone, Linda said, “Belle, I know you feel guilty about Jefferson, and you work very hard, but you have to
take care of your own family too. Curtis loves you, and that's why he lets you do as you please for certain things.
Know your limits because if you cross the line too many times, he'll get tired eventually too.”
Rayna understood what she meant, and she inched over to hug her mother. “I got it. Mom, I'm going to leave now.
Remember to come to the Faymon residence later. It's his birthday today. It'll be a more enjoyable time for him if
he has family keeping him company today.”
