His Precious Love

Chapter 261

Chapter 261 You Are Avoiding Me
Carl quickly unwrapped his gift. He discovered a vast number of ship-related parts inside when he opened the lid. Meanwhile, a dark wool scarf rested inside the compartment of the gift box.
“It’s SS3 Aircraft Carrier!” Carl eagerly grabbed the box and kissed it over and over. “Daddy knows me well!”
“You haven’t even assembled them yet. How did you find out about the model? You’re incredible!” Rayna then mused silently, Fortunately, the model is not overly large. If not, I’ll have a hard time bringing it over.
Carl immediately wrapped the wool scarf around his neck and repeatedly stroked it with his tiny hand. “I adore Daddy’s presents! I’d be happier if he could return home soon!”
You may not believe me, but your father is currently in the same city as you.
Carl then chatted with Rayna while putting the ship model together. He knew exactly where to put the parts with a single touch. He even told her about various countries’ aircraft carriers and fighter jets.
“Your little brain has a lot of information,” Rayna complimented Carl. She then prompted intentionally, “Tell me, if I give birth to a simple-minded little princess, will you like her?”
Carl shook his head and replied with certainty, “That won’t happen. Ms. Rayna’s child will be intelligent!”
“Aww… You’re so cute!” Rayna smiled and pinched the boy’s face. “If I ever have a daughter, I promise to let you marry her.”
“It’s a deal, then!”
“What deal are you two talking about?” asked Jasmine, who had just returned, with a smile. She handed her trench coat to the housekeeper and greeted Rayna after entering the living room.
Carl replied excitedly, “Ms. Rayna promised she would let me marry her daughter if she ever had one.”
Hearing such, Jasmine turned to look at Rayna. “Do you and Mr. Faymon have any good news to share?”
“No.” Rayna shook her hand while redness crept up her cheeks. “I’m just playing with him. Your son is too cute.”

“Mommy, look at the presents Daddy got me!” Carl pointed to the aircraft carrier he had just begun to build. The joy on his face was genuine. “Daddy had Ms. Rayna bring me these. I love the present very much. He gave me a scarf too!”
“I think the present is awesome too!” Jasmine curled her lips into a faint smile. She then patted her son’s head and said, “Go play by yourself. I want to have a chat with Ms. Rayna.”
“Okay.” Carl got the housekeeper’s help to move the box to another room and continued to assemble the ship model.
Rayna and Jasmine, on the other hand, went to the couch and sat there.
After receiving a cup of fruit tea from Jasmine, Rayna said, “Mr. Xavier came to me in the afternoon and asked me to pass the present to Carl. He is very fond of the child.”
“He’s the child’s birth father, after all. He definitely would have some feeling toward the child when they met.”
Rayna asked, “What’s your plan? Are you going to keep hiding the truth from him? I noticed that the little guy longed to meet his father.”
“His temper is terrible. He couldn’t even communicate with me properly,” said Jasmine helplessly. Jasmine tried to talk to Theodore about Carl on several occasions, but he always irritated her, stopping her from doing it.
Rayna joined in with agreement. “He indeed has a terrible temper. Only you can tolerate that.”
“How about you and Mr. Faymon?” asked Jasmine with a smile. “Mr. Faymon is well-known for his aversion to women. Ms. Garland, you are the first woman to break such a rule.”
Rayna stammered, “Y-You’re exaggerating! He’s usually very busy. That is why he had no time to look for women.”
“Oh. Does that mean Mr. Faymon only has time whenever you’re around?”
“I’m the guest that came to bring your son presents. You shouldn’t make fun of me.” Rayna then added with cold fury, “I might stop coming here again in the future.”
“Okay. I’ll stop talking about Mr. Faymon.”
Since they were close to each other, like old friends, they didn’t feel awkward when teasing each other.
Jasmine wanted to keep Rayna for dinner, but the latter was still full from lunch. Hence, she left after chatting with Jasmine for a while longer.
The moment she exited the house, she received a call from Curtis.
Curtis asked, “Are you not at the condominium? I’ve rung the bell for a long time, but no one answered the door.”
“Huh? I-I’m at the supermarket buying some stuff!” said Rayna while hurrying out of the residential area. “You’ve been resting the entire day, Mr. Faymon. Don’t you need to work at night? Why are you looking for me?”
“I’m here to give you some stuff,” answered Curtis. He then asked if she was at the supermarket downstairs. He wanted to meet her there.
Rayna needed at least twenty minutes to arrive home from Jasmine’s place. Hence, she couldn’t tell him she was at the supermarket. She lied to Curtis by telling him she was at a supermarket far from home and she had done buying the things she needed and was rushing home now.
Hearing such, Curtis replied casually, “Okay. I’ll wait for you to return.”
“That won’t be necessary. Why don’t you place it at the door? The night is quite cold. You should go home.”
“I prefer to hand you it personally.”
“It’s okay. There are surveillance cameras at the condominium. It’s safe to leave it there.”
