Curtis felt as if someone was gripping his heart when he heard the determination in her tone. It felt extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing he was not moving, Rayna walked around him and toward the door.

As she was putting on her shoes, Lucky scampered over and nuzzled its head against her leg.

“It’s been a while, Lucky.” Rayna patted its head, realizing it had become more majestic after not seeing it for some time.

If not for this dog, I would’ve fallen down the elevator last time.

Rayna pecked Lucky on the head and smiled lightly. “Be good. I’ll visit you next time.”

In the meantime, Curtis turned around and watched Rayna interact with Lucky by the door.

The difference in treatment upset him. She always gives me a stern look, but she’s all smiles when faced with a dog.

His gaze darkened as he suddenly thought of something. At that, he walked toward the door and said to her, “Take it with you.”

“No thanks. I don’t know how to take care of a dog,” Rayna refused.

“You don’t even mind taking care of a cat that sheds fur all the time. Taking care of a dog can’t be any harder. Besides, Carl loves it. Take Lucky with you so it can keep him company. You don’t let Carl come to my place, anyway.” Curtis patted Lucky’s head.

After a brief pause, Curtis added, “You’ll be busy these days, and so will I. And since Kristie will have to stay in the hospital, Carl won’t have anyone to keep him company at home. It won’t do any harm if he has a pet to play with him during that time.”

While Rayna was still pondering about it, Curtis had already put the leash on Lucky and handed it to her. “I’ll get Gabriel to send several bags of dog food over tomorrow.”

At the thought of Carl, Rayna finally gave in. She took the leash from Curtis’ hand and said, “Thank you, Mr. Faymon.”

“You’re welcome. In fact, I’ve got to thank you for helping me take care of my dog, too,” Curtis responded with a faint smile.
