Chapter 212 Unsolicited Help From Curtis 1
Jessica diligently cleaned the condominium and even waxed the floor, giving new life to the place. In the meantime, Rayna did not remain idle either, going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
A few minutes later, Jessica dashed over.
“Nana, where did you get this from?” She held a stone before Rayna’s face, uttering in excitement, “It’s so beautiful! Can you give it to me?”
It was a pink heart-shaped stone, delicate and pure like one’s adoration for one’s beloved.
Stunned, Rayna stared at it and stuttered, “W-Where did you find it?”
“I found it in your room,” Jessica replied. “I wanted to help you tidy up your luggage, and this stone fell out when I lifted it. Isn’t this a souvenir you bought from somewhere?”
At that, Rayna recalled her trip to Hallsbay. When she had a barbecue with Jefferson, she overheard the girl beside them saying, “If a couple finds a heart-shaped stone on Passerine Island, their love will last forever.”
Did Jefferson go to Passerine Island to search for a heart-shaped stone and stuff it into my luggage? Does he believe in that story?
Complex feelings surged within Rayna’s heart when she thought of Jefferson purposely going to Passerine Island to find a heart-shaped stone on the beach full of rocks.
Since she did not meet Jefferson again after the charity dinner, she did not even manage to return the necklace to him. Did he go back to Yartran?
“Hey, Nana, I’m talking to you!” At the sight of Rayna spacing out, Jessica waved her hand before her friend. “What are you thinking about?”
Rayna regained her senses and smiled. “Nothing.”
“Then give this stone to me. You don’t seem to like it either.” As Jessica spoke, she curled her fingers around the stone, planning to keep it away.
“It belongs to someone else.” Rayna grabbed the stone and clutched it in her hand. She would have let it be if it were just an ordinary stone, but it was related to that story. “I want to return it to him when I see him.”
Surprised by her response, Jessica exclaimed, “It’s just a stone. Is there a need to return it?”
“This stone is different.”
“What’s so different about it?” Jessica asked. “Could it be that it can materialize a treasure from thin air?”

“No.”
“Tell me, then. What’s so different about it?”
Since Jessica insisted on getting to the bottom of it, Rayna had no choice but to take out a horseshoe bracelet and lie that she brought it back from Hallsbay as an auspicious gift to her.
Being a superstitious person, Jessica instantly accepted the gift and stopped asking Rayna questions.
When the duo was having their breakfast, Wyatt arrived to pick Jessica up to work. However, he stayed to enjoy the meal without hesitation upon noticing the food. In fact, he even publicly displayed his affection for his girlfriend in front of Rayna.
It was too much to bear that Rayna had the urge to roast them.
“Can you two stop being lovey-dovey?” she roared.
Initially, she thought Wyatt and Jessica would only date each other for a month at most because their characters were worlds apart. To her surprise, the couple was still going strong. Worse yet, Wyatt kept coming to their place to freeload on food.
“Being lovey-dovey brings us joy!” Wyatt chuckled. “On the contrary, Mr. Tylinski frequently shares photos of his pets on his WhatsApp status. Wouldn’t it be better for him to utilize his free time to get a girlfriend?”
“Whoa! Really?” Jessica asked in curiosity. “I can’t believe Mr. Tylinski likes keeping pets.”
“What’s so good about keeping pets? You have me!” Wyatt unabashedly gave her a kiss. “Come on, Babe, have some oatmeal.”
“I’m sick of eating this every day.”
“I’ll have someone to prepare some buns for you. We can collect them later.”
“I want croissants as well.”
“Sure!”
Their mushy conversation caused the veins on Rayna’s forehead to bulge. She then grabbed a broom and chased the couple out expressionlessly. “Please hurry up and go to work. Don’t come back at night!”
“You sure have a fiery temper, sweetheart.” Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com Wyatt dodged the broom while wearing a playful smile. “You can invite Curtis over for breakfast too. We won’t mind.”
Jessica pinched him before bellowing, “Don’t mention Mr. Faymon, that scumbag! Since you have so many connections, isn’t it better for you to throw a party to introduce some men to Nana?”
He clicked his tongue and said meaningfully, “But it depends on whether Ms. Garland likes it or not.”
Rayna slammed the door. How annoying!
With that, she was all alone in the condominium. After tidying up the kitchen, she brewed a cup of coffee for herself. Her skill had improved so much that even she praised the coffee to the skies.
Then, she replied to some urgent emails through her phone and decided to handle the rest when she returned to the office.
Just as she was about to exit WhatsApp, Wyatt’s words flashed across her mind, so she scrolled through the status page and happened to see Gabriel’s status from twenty minutes ago. It wrote: I can only take a sunbath at home.
The photo showed his arm in a cast and a fluffy, adorable Ragdoll cat.
Then, Rayna checked on him.
Gabriel: I accidentally fell from the chair and broke my arm when I was in the warehouse looking for something.
Rayna: Impressive.
Gabriel: How are things at the new company, Ms. Garland? Are you adapting well there?
Rayna: Everything’s pretty okay. Today’s my day off.
Gabriel: That’s perfect. My Ragdoll kittens are weaned, and there’s one more left. Do you want to take it, Ms. Garland? Don’t you quite like cats?
