Chapter 620
Rayna and Curtis sat at the dining table and had their meal. At the same time, Curtis carried Xareni while Rayna
cradled Yelena. Only Yosef was sitting on the other side in the nanny's arms.
Xareni, who was in Curtis' embrace, grabbed at his arm when she saw him drinking his glass of milk.
“There, there. Be good. This is Daddy's. You can't drink it.” Curtis held her chubby arm as a gesture of rejecting her
soundless request.
Compared to Xareni, Yelena looked more well-behaved. The latter merely blinked her jet-black eyes innocently
while watching Rayna bringing the sandwich and the glass of orange juice to her mouth.
Rayna took a glance at Yelena before turning to the nanny, asking, “Oh, right, are the babies' supplementary food
arranged for preparation today?”
“I've already informed the kitchen about it,” the nanny answered.
Meanwhile, Yelena had silently reached out and touched a piece of ham on Rayna's plate when Rayna was talking
to the nanny. Unfortunately, her little ploy failed when the woman caught hold of her hand. “No, you can't eat this
yet.”
With that, Rayna pushed the plate further from Yelena and grabbed a piece of tissue to clean the child's hand.
When the nanny saw that, she stepped forward and offered, “I'll get Ms. Yelena cleaned up.”
“Okay.” Rayna nodded and let the nanny take Yelena away.
Xareni seemed to understand what was going on when she watched Yelena being carried away. Thus, she
immediately clutched the hem of Curtis' sleeve tightly.
Curtis, who was peeling his hard-boiled egg, felt his cuffs tighten in response to the baby's action. He lowered his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgaze to check on Xareni and then followed her line of sight to find her staring in the direction where the nanny had
left earlier. A subtle smile crept to his lips as he pinched Xareni's chubby cheeks. “You smart little devil.”
Seeing that, Rayna chuckled. “At first, I thought Xareni would be a quiet girl. Who would've known that Yelena's and
Xareni's characters would switch after just a few months?”
“I think it's good that she changed.” Curtis did not think there was anything bad about the change. In his opinion,
Xareni might have been more or less frightened when she was brought away by Arnaud not long after she was
born. It would be bad if she behaved less lively after that incident, which was a sign that she was traumatized.
Curtis was happy with Xareni's current character.
Rayna felt inexplicable emotions well up in her chest when she spotted the look of affection in Curtis' gaze for
Xareni. However, she was relieved when she realized Curtis had not been treating Xareni any differently.
This should be a good sign.
Ever since Rayna took a break, Ella did the same as well, though the latter would handle work matters occasionally.
One day, when Ella arrived at the office, she was puzzled to see the figure exiting the lobby. “That's odd. Why is
Chandler here?”
Just as she was about to call out to him, a white van passed by her. In the next second, she saw Chandler getting
into the vehicle and leaving Glory's entrance.
As Ella watched the van drive away, she made a note of the number plate.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Right then, the phone in her handbag rang. She pulled out her phone and answered it after glancing at the caller
ID. Rayna's voice came from the other end of the line. “Where are you?”
“I'm outside the office lobby,” answered Ella.
“Okay. Remember to send me pictures of the samples after getting them from the laboratory. Please be careful
when you're on the way here,” Rayna reminded.
“I will,” Ella responded. She then hastily added, “Ms. Garland, I saw Chandler at our company's entrance just now.”
“Chandler?” Rayna raised her brow at the news. Glancing at the date on the digital clock, she muttered, “It can't be.
He should be in Jazona at this hour shooting a wedding gown advertisement. There's no way he's still in Norwal City.
Could you have gotten it wrong? Maybe it's just someone who looks like him?”
“Oh... Maybe I was mistaken,” said Ella while walking. When she arrived at the entrance, she took one final glance
in the direction where the van had left. “That's all then, Ms. Garland. I'll hang up now.”
“Okay,” answered Rayna before ending the call.
She then sat on the couch, thinking back about what Ella said. At that, she glanced at the date on the clock once
again; there was no mistake about it. After mulling it over for some time, she still felt uneasy, so she picked up her
phone from the study table and dialed Larry's number.
Meanwhile, Larry was sitting at his desk in the director's office on the third floor of Happy Entertainment. He was
browsing through the email that contained information about a budding artist introduced by one of his best friends
when his phone rang. He immediately answered it when he saw Rayna's name on the screen. “Hello, Ms. Garland.”
“Hi. What's on Chandler's schedule today?” Rayna asked without beating around the bush.
“He's supposed to be in Jazona today for a wedding advertisement shoot.” Larry glanced at the calendar in the
corner, which had detailed notes of the work arrangements for the artists he personally trained.
Hearing that, Rayna felt slightly relieved but still couldn't relax. “Is Nora with him?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes. Chandler's going outstation for a job, so of course, Nora has to go with him.” Larry did not understand why
Rayna was suddenly asking such a question, but it was easy to identify that Rayna was upset based on her tone.
Rayna took a sip of her coffee and said, “Could you get Nora to send you a real-time video of the situation there
and then email it to me?”
“Sure thing,” came Larry's response. The moment the call ended, he lowered his gaze and stared at the phone
screen with a frown.
Could Chandler have caused some trouble again? No matter how hard Larry thought about it, he could not wrap his
head around the reason Rayna made that request. Still, he had no choice but to carry out Rayna's orders.
Systimpra Villa was Jazona's most famous wedding shoot location. Chandler and one of DT's famous models, Gina
Stuart, were lying on the grass and hugging each other at the director's request.
Standing under the awning not too far away was Nora. While she was watching the duo posing for the shoot, the
phone that was hanging around her neck rang. Noticing Larry was the caller, she answered, “Hello, Mr. Wingate.”
“Is Chandler with you?” Larry went straight to the point.
“Yes. He's having a shoot with Gina.” Nora did not think much about the fact that Larry was personally calling to
check on Chandler. Hence, she reported everything that was happening at the scene to Larry.
Nora's words put Larry at ease. The latter then said, “Send me some videos of Chandler at work. Take more if
possible.”
“All right,” Nora responded, and the call ended.
At the same time, the celebrities had finished their shoot at that scene.
“Nora! Water!” Chandler ordered as he marched toward the awning. Hearing that, Nora handed him a glass of
water. “Here is some plain-boiled water. I added some ice cubes.”
“Why am I not given mineral water?” Chandler frowned at what he heard. He even cast Nora a displeased gaze.
