His Precious Love

Chapter 288

Chapter 288 A Wish That Cannot Come True
Plastering a sheepish smile, Wyatt answered, “You must’ve misheard me, Curtis. I’ve never said that.”
The man’s reply rendered Curtis speechless.
The host then gave the pair of rings to the winners—Jasmine and Theodore. However, Jasmine clearly had no interest in the jewelry, so she handed it over to Rayna. “I already have one, so you can take mine.”
Waving her hands, Rayna replied, “No, no. I’m fine. You can give it to them instead.” She was already wearing a ring on her finger, anyway. Even though it was for self-defense, the ring was still from Curtis, which was enough for her.
While having Jessica in his arms, Wyatt smiled playfully. “No need. I’ve already customized a ring for Jessie. Besides, I don’t like this brand, so I think it’s best if you have it.”
“You’re truly unbelievable,” stated Rayna, amused.
Meanwhile, Curtis and Theodore exchanged looks. Both pairs of eyes were dimmed.
“You bought a ring?” Curtis questioned.
“Yeah, it’s custom-made at Van Cleef & Arpels!” responded Wyatt proudly. He even pulled Jessica’s hand, trying to show the ring to them. However, all he found was emptiness on the woman’s finger.
“Where’s the ring, Babe? Why aren’t you wearing it?”
Jessica’s eyes flickered before she pursed her lips and replied, “The diamond’s too big. What if someone set their sights on it if I brought it with me? Hence, I left it in my house, stored inside a bag.”
“You’re really considerate, Jessie.” Wyatt gave his woman a huge kiss. “Rings are supposed to be worn. I’ll buy a new one if you lose it. I, your fiancé, don’t lack money,” he added casually.
“Stop kissing me. There are many people here.” Jessica slapped the shameless Wyatt away.
After hearing what Wyatt said, Curtis cracked a smile, even though he maintained his stone-cold eyes. “You’re engaged, Wyatt? It’s rare to see you be this serious.”
“Of course!” Wyatt exclaimed, cocking his eyebrows at Curtis. “Maybe I’ll even register for marriage soon.”
Merely responding with a hum, Curtis turned to look at Theodore, who nodded. His expression became colder, yet he said nothing.
“Since Wyatt has already customized a ring at Van Cleef & Arpels, then forget it,” stated Jasmine with a smile, handing the ring box to Rayna. “Seems like you still have to take it.”

Before Rayna could even say anything, Curtis reached out and took the box, opening it.
Inside the box laid a pair of exquisite eighteen-karat gold rings.
“Not bad. They look kind of good,” praised Curtis sincerely. After all, to be able to gift such rings in this place was no easy feat.
Taking the women’s ring, Curtis directly put it on Rayna’s finger.
“Eh?” Seeing as he was too fast, the woman failed to stop him. The ring fit her finger perfectly.
Giving her the ring box, Curtis asked, “Aren’t you going to put it on me, Mrs. Faymon?”
“Quit messing around,” she uttered, embarrassed that he had just addressed her as “Mrs. Faymon” in front of their friends. Her face had even turned red.
Smiling mischievously, Wyatt teased, “Rayna, do you hate how simple the engagement ceremony is and that the rings are free? Do you think Curtis doesn’t value you enough?”
“No, that’s not what I meant,” replied Rayna helplessly.
“Then put the ring on him! Look at how eager he’s waiting for you!” Wyatt urged. He then called the violinist—who had yet to leave—over.
“Play ‘I Do’ for them. I’ll pay you a hundred thousand later.”
Without wasting even a second, the violinist picked up his violin and started playing the romantic melody that echoed across the ballroom.
“Put the ring on him! Put the ring on him!” chanted Wyatt and everyone else.
Rayna’s face reddened from embarrassment as she stared at Curtis for help, hoping that he would stop them.

The scene attracted other guests to join in the fun as they gathered around the couple while clapping their hands, making the atmosphere livelier.
Not being able to endure it any longer, Rayna, with her shaky hand, took the men’s ring out of the box.
“What’s wrong with your hand?” Curtis asked with a smile.
“Dunno. It’s trembling on its own.” Flustered, Rayna patted her right hand with her left hand before grabbing Curtis’ hand and slowly sliding the ring onto his ring finger.
Midway doing so, she paused out of the blue.
“What’s wrong? You wanna back out?” Curtis asked as he stared at her with a hint of menace.
“No, I just have something to ask you.” Clearing her throat, Rayna asked seriously, “Mr. Faymon, will you let me take care of you and give you this ring?”
“Wow, you’re really something, Rayna!” exclaimed Wyatt exaggeratedly. “You can’t even afford a mansion, yet you want to take care of Curtis?”
With a cold expression, Theodore gave Wyatt a kick. “Shut your mouth if you have nothing nice to say.”
“I was just curious—”
“Shut up.” Another kick was delivered.
As he had received two kicks, Wyatt aggrievedly sought comfort from Jessica, only to receive an eye roll from the latter.
“So, do you agree or not?” pressed Rayna when Curtis had yet to give her a reply.
“Seems like not only do you want me, but my wealth as well,” said Curtis as he let out a deep chuckle. “Since you’re this determined, how could I not grant you a chance?”
“Is that a yes?” questioned Rayna.
“Yes.”
