The pale-looking Rayna leaned against the armrest and muttered, “Can’t find her… What should we do?”

Curtis could not bear to see her like that, so he held her by her shoulders and sat her down at the dining table.

He opened a can of soup and gave Rayna a bowl. “Rayna, relax. Although we can’t locate Jessica, no one has seen her body yet. Why don’t you eat something first?”

“I don’t feel like eating.” The life and death of Jessica remained unknown. That made Rayna lost her appetite, and she was not in the right frame of mind. “This won’t do. I’ll have to look for her at the port.”

Curtis immediately grabbed her hands and pulled her back onto the chair. He said firmly, “Rayna, if you don’t eat anything, how will you have the energy to go around and look for her? Are you planning to pass out at the port?”

He placed the spoon into her hand and said, “Eat up. Then we will talk.”

Rayna was well aware that he would not allow her to leave if she did not finish her food, so she forced herself to take a few sips of the hot soup.

After tasting the soup, she took a look at her food and looked up at Curtis. “Where did you get this food from?”

“Why? Is it awful?” asked Curtis.

He took a sip of the soup and frowned before he uttered angrily, “I forgot to add salt.”

Rayna did not expect that the man had boiled the soup himself. In that instant, Rayna had mixed feelings.

In the past, this man couldn’t even differentiate between salt and sugar. His food was horrible. Even his noodles would be raw.

I can’t believe he can brew such delicious soup now.

If only he had been more concerned about me in the early days and treated me better, that would have been so much better.

Within a short span of time, lots of thoughts went through Rayna’s mind.

Seeing that she kept mum, Curtis said, “It’s too plain. Let me add a bit more salt to the soup.”
