His Precious Love

Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Appeasing Curtis
How will Curtis be able to change his term of address when he finds out about it later?
“How could I not take his words to heart when he has entrusted me with an important task?” Rayna replied. “I’m in a real quandary right now. After all, I don’t have many female friends.”
Curtis sensed that something was amiss, so he asked, “What did he say to you?”
She shot him a look and teased, “Old Mr. Faymon said you’re no longer young since you’re already in your thirties and that if I have any friend whom I think may be a good match for you, I should introduce her to you.”
“Are you trying to aggravate me?” he questioned.
“No. Old Mr. Faymon did say that,” Rayna replied. Stroking her chin in contemplation, she suggested, “How about my younger sister, Roxanne? Even though she’s not that bright, I think most guys find her adorable.”
The car came to a sudden halt, and the inertia almost threw her toward the windshield.
Curtis quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door on her side, and ordered in a cold voice, “Get out!”
“You’ve got to be kidding me! The road’s full of cars.” Rayna noticed there were vehicles in front and behind them, so she used all her might to close the car door. “If you don’t want to get to know Roxanne, I can just help you look for another girl.”
Curtis was rendered speechless.
The drivers behind them started honking at them.
Noticing that Curtis would not budge, Rayna urged, “Hey, start driving. What if we bump into a driver with road rage?”
Without uttering a word, he started the engine. However, he took a turn after passing the traffic light.
“This isn’t the way to my office or house,” Rayna remarked. Thinking that he had taken a wrong turn, she added, “Take a U-turn at the next traffic light.”
“Rayna Garland!” Curtis called out, a sneer playing about his lips. “It seems like I’m being too lenient with you!”
Rayna looked at him warily and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Oh, you’ll know what I mean later,” he said.
Then, he drove in the direction of his residence. It was too late by the time she realized that something was off. As soon as they got out of the car, he put his arm around her shoulders and dragged her into the house.
“Quit messing around! This is a country governed by law.” Rayna clawed at him, but the arm around her shoulders simply would not budge.
“I’m warning you. Don’t you dare try anything funny! I’ll report you to the police, you know!” she threatened.
Since Curtis was unfazed by the hard threats, Rayna had no other choice but to beg for mercy. “I was wrong. I promise not to mess with you anymore, Mr. Faymon. Please don’t do anything to me. I still have to take care of my family.”
Her overreaction rendered him speechless. “You’re overthinking. I’m not the mafia.”
“You were the one who said those words with such a vicious look on your face,” Rayna grumbled. “You even brought me here forcefully. Anyone would think you’re trying to kill me, then destroy my corpse so as not to leave any evidence behind.”
Once again, he fell silent.
He could not believe how delusional and paranoid the woman was.
Curtis took out his access card to unlock the door. “I brought you here to cook for me,” he said in a deadpan manner.
Rayna crimsoned.
The second the door opened, someone coincidentally walked out of the house. Curtis retreated with Rayna, getting ready for a fight, only to realize that it was just Kristie and James.
Waving to them, Kristie greeted, “Curt, Rayna. You guys are back!” There was a megawatt smile on her face.
Curtis was choked with fury, and he took some time to recollect himself before he said, “Your tone of voice is giving me the impression that this is your house, not mine.”
“I left a necklace here last time, so I came over to take it,” she replied. Then, she stuck out her tongue and grumbled, “By the way, your door is rubbish. My boyfriend managed to crack it open with just a few tries.”
He was dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Rayna noticed that James was shooting death glares at Curtis’ arm on her shoulders, so she quickly pulled it off her.
She placed some distance between her and Curtis before explaining hastily, “I’m just here to take a look at his dog.”
“I can get you a dog so that you won’t have to come here frequently to look at one,” James said dryly.
“I know a few pet bloggers,” Kristie chimed in sweetly. “Rayna, what breed of dogs do you like? I can help you get them.”
Curtis snapped, “Kristie, whose side are you on right now?”
He had not made things difficult for James and Kristie, yet the younger man was hard on him. Is he that vengeful?
“Of course, my boyfriend is more important than you!” Kristie pouted her lips. “Besides, it’s your fault anyway, Curt. This shows that my boyfriend is protective of the people he cares about.”
Noticing that the air had gone still from the tension, Rayna asked, “Aren’t you guys heading back home? What are you still doing here?”
“Mom called and asked me to go to her place for dinner,” James said as he grabbed her hand. “Rayna, let’s go there together.”
Curtis instinctively reached out to grab Rayna’s other hand.
“Let me go, both of you! Otherwise, I’m going to get angry.” Rayna felt like she was caught between a rock and a hard place. After James released her hand, she whispered to Curtis, “He’s a kid who doesn’t know better. Are you still going to hold a grudge against him?”
“How can an eighteen-year-old be called a kid?” Curtis retorted.
“All right; he’s not a kid.” Rayna saw that her wrist was still in his grip, so she tried to appease him. “Let me go to my mom’s place first, and I will bring you some home-cooked food later, okay?”
Curtis finally let her hand go after she reassured him multiple times. Immediately, she turned around and left with Kristie. Only then did James let things slide and followed after them.
