Rayna scowled at Carl. “Don’t make me teach you a lesson in the middle of the night. Go back and sleep after you’ve finished drinking your water!”

Looking up at her, Carl questioned, “Why are you hurrying me along, Ms. Rayna? Are you hoping to be alone with Mr. Hamilton? What did Mr. Curtis say to you after taking you away? Haven’t you both gotten back together?”

While the two of them were talking, the kitchen door slid open without warning.

“I found that all your seasonings have expired,” Curtis said before he glanced at Carl beside Rayna. “You’re not in bed yet at this hour, Carl?”

Sheer surprise inundated Carl. “It’s you, Mr. Curtis? I thought it was Mr. Hamilton.”

In a flash, Curtis’ smile faded, and he eyed the boy icily. “Why, were you hoping that it was him?”

“No, of course not! It’s best that it was you, Mr. Curtis! Mr. Curtis, there’s a twenty-four-hour convenience store in the residential area. What do you want? I’ll go and buy it for you!” Verily, Carl’s survival instinct was unrivaled.

Tamping down his aura, Curtis listed the seasonings he wanted to buy.

After listening, Carl quickly changed his shoes and left.

Rayna cast a look at the kitchen. Upon seeing that he had cleaned the space to the point that it sparkled, she huffed, “You came here late at night, messing up my kitchen and even ordering a kid around. How shameless!”

“The kitchen was dirty because you didn’t live here in a few weeks.” As Curtis said that, he dipped his head and glanced at her stomach. “Aren’t you hungry after throwing up twice today?”

“No!” Pulling open the refrigerator door, Rayna took out a bunch of grapes.

Curtis snatched the grapes away and closed the refrigerator door, stopping her from taking other fruits. “They’re too cold for you and could hurt your stomach.”

“It’s hot, and the air-conditioner isn’t even turned on! It isn’t cold at all! Return the grapes to me!” Irritation swamped Rayna.

“No.” Curtis held the grapes high.
