His Precious Love

Chapter 554

Chapter 554

The pale-looking Rayna leaned against the armrest and muttered, “Can't find her... What should we do?”

Curtis could not bear to see her like that, so he held her by her shoulders and sat her down at the dining table.

He opened a can of soup and gave Rayna a bowl. “Rayna, relax. Although we can't locate Jessica, no one has seen her body yet. Why don't you eat something first?”

“I don't feel like eating.” The life and death of Jessica remained unknown. That made Rayna lost her appetite, and she was not in the right frame of mind. “This won't do. I'll have to look for her at the port.”

Curtis immediately grabbed her hands and pulled her back onto the chair. He said firmly, “Rayna, if you don't eat anything, how will you have the energy to go around and look for her? Are you planning to pass out at the port?”

He placed the spoon into her hand and said, “Eat up. Then we will talk.”

Rayna was well aware that he would not allow her to leave if she did not finish her food, so she forced herself to take a few sips of the hot soup.

After tasting the soup, she took a look at her food and looked up at Curtis. “Where did you get this food from?”

“Why? Is it awful?” asked Curtis.

He took a sip of the soup and frowned before he uttered angrily, “I forgot to add salt.”

Rayna did not expect that the man had boiled the soup himself. In that instant, Rayna had mixed feelings.

In the past, this man couldn't even differentiate between salt and sugar. His food was horrible. Even his noodles would be raw.

I can't believe he can brew such delicious soup now.

If only he had been more concerned about me in the early days and treated me better, that would have been so much better.

Within a short span of time, lots of thoughts went through Rayna's mind.

Seeing that she kept mum, Curtis said, “It's too plain. Let me add a bit more salt to the soup.”

“There's no need. It's healthier to have blander food.” After finishing her soup, she handed him the bowl and said, “Please give me half a plate of spaghetti.”

Curtis was taken aback. He quickly took the plate and filled some spaghetti for her.

The soup was brewed by Curtis. However, the five dishes on the table were delivered by Good Times Restaurant.

After all, Rayna was a pregnant woman. Curtis was worried that the dishes he cooked would not be to her liking. If that happened, there would be trouble.

Rayna had a good appetite. While she was eating, she asked, “How is Wyatt?”

“Jeremy brought someone to operate on him. Everything went well. He just needs to stay in the hospital for some time.” He saw that she was only taking the vegetables, so Curtis placed some meat on her plate. “Have more meat.”


“Curtis, please carry on with your meal. I'll help myself!” Rayna looked up and gave him a nasty stare. “Can you please stop staring at my tummy? Am I not a human?”

Curtis was puzzled. He did not know why she scolded him out of the blue. “I just want you to eat more. I didn't mention anything about the pregnancy.”

“No matter how much I eat, they are the ones absorbing the nutrients!” said Rayna coldly.

Curtis was dumbfounded.

He took one look at Rayna and realized that she was not fat at all. Only her tummy seemed huge.

It turned out that he had said the wrong things.

When Rayna bent over slightly, he could tell that she was in discomfort because she rubbed her waist with her hands. He felt sorry for her, so he went to get a cushion from the living room and placed it at the back of her chair.

Curtis asked softly, “Does it feel better now?”

Unfortunately, Rayna did not find him caring. She only snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at him.

Despite what she said, Rayna still ended up having two plates of spaghetti and another bowl of soup. When she requested for more spaghetti, Curtis said no.

“Later on, have some fruit.” Curtis knew that her pregnancy reaction was quite drastic, and he was also worried that she overate.

Rayna scowled. “It's only another half a plate of spaghetti. Why are you so petty? After all, I'm not the one eating!”

Curtis rubbed his brows helplessly before reasoning things out with her slowly, “In the past, your appetite wasn't so good. If you suddenly eat so much, you will feel awful later.”

“How do you know I used to eat very little?” Rayna eyed him warily. “Have you been spying on me?”

The man seemed to sense that he had said the wrong thing. With a calm expression, he said nonchalantly, “I have Carl' on WhatsApp and also his Instagram. He usually posts about the food he eats. By the look of it, you didn't eat much. He must have eaten everything.”

Rayna was still staring at him with suspicion.

Curtis got up and started clearing the plates and cutleries. He changed the topic. “There are oranges and grapes. Which one would you like?”

After staying silent for a few seconds, Rayna ended up saying, “I'll have grapes, then.”

She then went to the living room and rummaged through her handbag.

It was only then she realized that the screen of the phone had cracked.

Rayna had wanted to call Jefferson for help the night before. After learning of Jessica's incident from one of the tourists, she lost her grip on her phone and dropped it on the floor.

She switched on her phone after charging it. While she waited, she calmed herself down and began going over last night's events in her head.

A moment later, Curtis appeared in the living room with a plate of grapes.

Rayna swiped several grapes from the plate and munched on them. She said to Curtis, “Let's put aside Jessie's incident for now. I think we should talk about your conversation at the hospital last night.”
