Chapter 179 Take A Swim

“Yes.” Alfred smiled faintly, his tone carrying a hint of regret. “She was a good child. If I had been there earlier…”

Perhaps it was too painful for him to share the story. He did not say anything further.

Alfred handed the sapphire ring to Rayna. “Here, take this. It’s useless for me to keep it.”

“I can’t accept this,” said Rayna as she took two steps back. She liked Curtis, but it was still uncertain how their relationship would develop from there. It was a gift too burdensome for her to accept. “It’s best if you give it to Mr. Faymon.”

“Oh, my poor Curtis.” Alfred let out an exaggerated sigh. “No one likes him since he was a child. I can’t believe he’s suffering the same fate as an adult. I’ve failed massively as his father.”

The corner of Rayna’s lips twitched when she heard that. “No way. Mr. Faymon is such an outstanding person. He’s never short on admirers.”

“In that case, you should take this.” Alfred pushed the sapphire ring into her hands. “From now on, I’ll entrust Curtis to you. Ow! I think I have a headache.” He rubbed his temples. “I’m going to get some rest. You two go on. Come back for dinner whenever you’re free.”

Rayna was stumped for words.

By the time she came to her senses, Alfred had already left the study. She looked at the sapphire ring in her hands helplessly.

Rayna was caught off guard when Alfred appealed to her emotions.

Curtis approached her in his wheelchair. “What did my dad say to you?”

“It’s nothing.” Rayna stealthily hid the ring behind her back. “He told us to come back for dinner when we have time.”

“Is that so?” Curtis arched a brow, looking at her with a penetrating gaze. “Did he say anything else?”

“Nope.”

Hearing that, Curtis decided not to ask any more questions. Rayna went downstairs behind him, hesitating whether to give him the ring. In the end, she stuffed it into her bag.

I shouldn’t give it to him first to avoid evoking his painful memories.

On the way back, Rayna glanced at the scenery flashing by the window. She thought of the events from the previous night until that morning. The level of excitement was similar to that of taking a roller coaster ride. It was a surreal experience for her.

Right then, something popped into Rayna’s head. Turning to look at Curtis, she asked, “Mr. Faymon, did you discuss it with Julian in advance? Don’t tell me you thought this through last night.”
