His Precious Love

Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Dumber Than Wyatt
After pondering for a moment, Rayna asked Linda, “Mom, what do you think she’s trying to do? Is she trying to appeal to my emotions?”
Linda glanced at the talisman.
“I don’t think so. She came a few times to buy wine and is a nice person. Although she’s the sister-in-law of your dad’s new wife, she holds no grudges against you,” Linda replied, locking the door of the shop.
Rayna looked at Linda warily. “Mom, why are you on her side? Did she ask you to do something for her?”
“She didn’t.”
“She really didn’t talk to you about Elijah?”
“No.” Linda gave Rayna a sidelong glance. “Don’t think of her in such a bad light. After all, she’s—never mind. Let’s go groceries shopping.”
“What is it? Mom, what are you keeping from me?” Rayna asked curiously.
“She’s an elder.”
Rayna did not doubt Linda’s words. “I told you that you have a soft heart. Just ignore her when she comes in the future. After all, she’s Elijah’s family, so she’s definitely on his side.”
“All right,” Linda said, waving her hand. “Do you still want to eat at my place? Otherwise, you can go back.”
Rayna was speechless.
Is Mom finding me annoying now?
As she took the elevator down with Linda, she looked at the talisman in her hand. My attitude was great just now. I spoke to her politely and even called her Ma’am. But Mom said I disrespected my elders. When did I do that?
After returning home from groceries shopping, Linda had Rayna help organize the boxes of grapes so that she could make wine while she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
“Mom, just make something simple!” Rayna yelled in the direction of the kitchen. As she had eaten nothing in the morning, she was starving now. She would eat anything Linda made.

“Shush! Just focus on plucking the stem of the grapes!”
Rayna fell silent.
After she finished plucking the stem of four boxes of grapes and washed the huge jars Linda used to make wine, Linda finally shouted, “Food’s ready!”
Rayna washed her hands, rushed to the dining table, and saw five dishes plus a soup.
The meatball soup smelled tantalizing, and there was even grilled pork.
“Mom, no wonder it took you so long. Turns out you made grilled pork.” Famished, Rayna reached out her fork to grab a piece, but Linda swatted her hand away and handed her a bowl with two pieces of pork.
“This is yours.”
“Can’t I eat from that plate?” Looking at the plateful of grilled pork and then at her tiny bowl, Rayna realized how small her serving was.
“Mom, the doctor said you need to eat light and simple meals for your health. I’m the only one who can eat the grilled pork! Don’t tell me you want to vacuum pack it and send it overseas to James,” Rayna said sternly.
“Do I look like I have the time and money for that?” Linda retorted with a roll of her eyes. Then she took two lunch boxes and packed the grilled pork and meatball soup.
“What are you doing?”
“This is for Curtis and the guy by his side.” Linda could not recall the name for a moment. “The very burly clerk. Honey, what’s his name again?”
“Gabriel Tylinski. He’s Mr. Faymon’s assistant, not a clerk,” Rayna replied before realizing something was wrong. “So this feast is meant for them! Then what am I supposed to eat?”
Linda pointed to the table. “Vegetables. You’ve gained weight. You can lose weight this way.”
“Seriously, Mom. It’s one in the afternoon already! They’ve probably ordered takeout. Mom, you should let me eat.” I can’t believe Mom is more concerned about Mr. Tylinski than me!
“I called them just now. They said they haven’t eaten.”
Rayna was at a loss for words.
After finishing her two pieces of grilled pork, she grabbed the lunch boxes and prepared to leave, feeling disgruntled.
Before that, Linda gave her another two bottles of wine she had brewed herself. “That guy works for Curtis and is good with words. You should build a good relationship with him.”
Rayna snorted. “Why not I bring over the two huge jars of wine and let all the employees try it?”
“Sure! Can you carry them?”
After the conversation with Linda, Rayna felt even worse. She hailed a taxi outside and reached Faymon Group in slightly over ten minutes.
“Good afternoon, Ms. Garland,” the employees who passed by Rayna greeted while throwing numerous curious glances at the lunch boxes in her hands.
Rayna had no choice but to secretly take the elevator on the west side.
When she reached the floor Curtis was on, she noticed that everyone in the secretarial department was serious and busy working, including Gabriel, who was texting.
She walked toward them and lightly placed a lunch box and two bottles of wine on Gabriel’s desk, but she still surprised him.
Gabriel immediately switched off his phone and stood up. “What are you doing here, Mrs. Faymon?”
Missus?
