His Precious Love

Chapter 231

Chapter 231 Hiding A Woman
Rayna’s face flushed crimson. I overthought. This is so embarrassing.
Curtis glanced at her and said, “When I switched on the television earlier, Lucky ran out and jumped into the swimming pool, so I trailed after it to bring it back. Ms. Garland, did you assume I was hiding a woman in my house?”
“How would I know? I haven’t entered the living room just now! Why did you switch on the television and even tune in to the advertisement channel?”
Curtis approached her and stood so close to her that they could hear each other’s heartbeat.
He spoke in a deep and seductive voice. “May I think of your behavior as a show of jealousy and fear that I am seeing another woman?”
“Mr. Faymon, you’re such a narcissist.” Rayna handed the thermal container to him. “My mother made some pork stew. Hurry up and eat. I’m going to take a look at the German Shepherd.”
She headed toward the swimming pool afterward.
Curtis stared at the thermal container in his hands and was reminded about the dish she mentioned. His eyebrow twitched as a resigned look spread across his face.
I hate pork the most, yet all I’ve been eating recently is pork.
The German Shepherd pup was chasing after a ball at the poolside. At the sight of Rayna, it went near her while shaking its tail. She wanted to hug it when it jumped into the pool with a thump.
Taking in the way Lucky swam happily in the pool, Rayna was astounded. “Isn’t this puppy too reckless and active?” It jumped into such a deep pool without hesitation.
“Lucky, come here!” Lucky was still a pup after all. Rayna was worried it might drown, so she tried to convince the dog to come out of the pool by attracting its attention with a ball at the poolside.
Lucky swam over rapidly.
Just as Rayna was about to seize the dog, it swiftly moved in the opposite direction. Conversely, she lost her balance and fell into the pool. The young German Shepherd barked, swam closer to her, and licked her face.
Rayna grabbed the pup by the scruff of its neck and scolded it, “Are you happy now for causing me to end up in this pathetic state? You’re as naughty as your owner!”
“I heard that, Ms. Garland.” Curtis leaned against the sliding door and looked at Rayna, who was inside the pool, in amusement. “You should tone down your voice whenever you badmouth about someone else next time.”

Rayna rolled her eyes at him. “I’m speaking ill of Mr. Tylinski. How does that concern you?”
“I’m raising this dog.”
“You may be raising the pup, but you acquired this dog from Mr. Tylinski. Lucky’s dad is still at Mr. Tylinski’s house. Isn’t that right?” Rayna retorted.
Curtis’ gaze darkened. “Can you quit mentioning Gabriel’s name?”
He was annoyed because she kept talking about Gabriel.
Gabriel is to be blamed too. He chatted with others instead of focusing on his duties at work. I should deduct his bonus!
“We’re friends. Why can’t I mention him?” Rayna thought Curtis was overreacting. She wanted to get out of the pool but realized her clothes were wet and stuck to her body, so she didn’t do so at once.
She said to Curtis, “Mr. Faymon, bring me a towel.”
“There aren’t any outsiders here.”
She glared at him with a reddened face. “You’re one!”
He chuckled and went into the house to retrieve a towel. However, instead of passing it to her, he asked her to get out of the pool, wrapped the towel around her head, and helped dry her hair.
“I-I can do it on my own.” Rayna wasn’t used to his caring gesture. She wanted to snatch the towel from him, but he seized the opportunity and pulled her into his embrace.
He gazed down at her in close proximity. “Are you avoiding me?”
“No,” she swiftly denied.
“Then why are you not looking up?”
He presumes I’m avoiding him simply because I’m not looking up? What kind of logic is that?
The next second, she slapped him using moderate strength, rendering him stupefied.
“I just want you to get a grip.” She pushed him away forcefully and carried the German Shepherd pup into the house. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com Curtis stood rooted to his spot, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
A few days ago, he had mocked Wyatt for being an embarrassment because the latter was hit by a woman. Little did he expect to experience that himself now.
Lucky was very disobedient as it kept running around the living room, not allowing Rayna to blow dry its fur.
Seeing that, Curtis uttered indifferently, “If the dog is reluctant to have its fur blow dry, just wipe it with a towel. If it fails to endure the cold and dies, we’ll bury it somewhere outside the house.”
“I’ve never seen an owner as heartless as you.” Rayna grimaced. “Animals are living creatures too, not to mention German Shepherd is a very helpful dog breed.”
“I’ve never expected the dog to do anything for me.”
“Then why are you raising it?”
The doorbell rang at that instant. Curtis didn’t reply to her question and went to open the gate.
Lucky seemed to have understood Curtis’ words as it trotted up to Rayna compliantly and let her blow dry its fur.
Curtis returned to the living room with another person behind him.
Jasmine, dressed in a long beige dress, appearing gentle and captivating, smiled faintly and greeted Rayna, “Ms. Garland, excuse me for the intrusion. I’m here to take some things.”
Rayna, cheeks burning, hastily got up. “I should be saying that.”
