His Precious Love

Chapter 608

Chapter 608

The person who suffered the most was Jeremy.

Wyatt and Jessica got married long ago, and Theodore and Jasmine had just collected their marriage certificates. To make matters worse for him, even Curtis and Rayna had registered their marriage. Hence, he suffered yet another blow for being the only single person.

“It's all right.” Jeremy maintained a calm smile and said nonchalantly, “I'm happy with my single life. Besides, Kristie isn't even married yet, so I'm not in a rush.”

Kristie pouted in annoyance when she heard that. She complained, “You're so mean, Jeremy! You said that deliberately, didn't you? James is still too young, so we have to wait another year!”

Initially, she thought a household registry was the only thing she needed to get married. Little did she know, one had to reach a certain age to get married.

“That's too bad, then.” Jeremy clinked his glass with Kristie's and uttered with a smirk, “I can't help you with that. Perhaps you should just get married next year.”

“You can always change the age on his ID card through the system.” Wyatt raised his brows and asked, “Kris, would you like me to help you?”

“Are you serious?” Kristie's eyes lit up. In an adorable tone, she said, “Sure, Wyatt. Please help me increase James' age on his ID card. If you can do that, I won't expect a monetary gift from you during my wedding. You can just come empty-handed.”

Before Wyatt could say a word in response, Curtis voiced coldly, “No.”

“Why? Are you the only one who is allowed to get married?” Kristie grumbled.

With that, she approached Rayna and tried to get the latter to help her.

Rayna knew there was a valid reason Curtis was against it, so she knew not to help Kristie. Hence, she ignored Kristie's pleas.

In the end, Kristie nestled in James' embrace and whined, “Curtis and the others are bullying us! They're all married now, but they're not letting us do the same. What a bunch of bullies!”

“Time flies and one year isn't that long. Be patient, okay?” James comforted her.

After that conversation, Rayna came up with an excuse to get Curtis to meet her in the kitchen. There, she whispered, “Why did you not agree to it?”

“Once James changes his information, the school will notice it.” Curtis glanced at the living room and continued, “If that happens, they'll compel his return right away. He should spend more time with Kristie this year.”

Rayna instantly understood what that meant, and she suddenly felt rather sad. After heaving a sigh, she said, “We won't see him much from then onward. I really don't want him to leave. What's going to happen to Kristie after his departure?”

“He's only going to be away for three years, at most.” Curtis pulled Rayna into his embrace and kissed her hair. “By then, Theodore will be there to guide him, and we'll take care of Kristie.”

Rayna didn't know what to say, so she merely hugged him wordlessly.

At around half-past nine that night, everyone started leaving the Faymon residence.

As Theodore and Jasmine brought Carl home, they chatted happily about where to go for a family outing the next day.

Upon arriving home, Carl hung out with Theodore for a while before going to bed when it was his bedtime.

Jasmine had just finished taking a shower when she saw Theodore walking into the room. While drying her hair with a towel, she asked, “Has Carl gone to bed?”

“Well, he's in bed, but I think he's going to have trouble falling asleep. He's so excited about the outing tomorrow.” Theodore took the towel from Jasmine and helped her dry her hair. After that, he went on to blow-dry her hair with a hairdryer.

Shortly after, Theodore's phone, which was left on the dressing table, lit up. He merely picked it up and glanced at it before putting it back down and continuing to blow dry Jasmine's hair in silence.

Jasmine took a peek at his cold facial expression and his tightly-pursed lips in the mirror. Right then, a thought came to her mind, and she held Theodore's hand, looking over her shoulder at him. “When do you need to leave?”

Theodore kept quiet for a while before answering reluctantly, “In ten days' time.”

“That soon?”

“They're rushing me to go over.” Theodore gently smoothened her frown and whispered, “I'll write in and delay it for a few more days so that I can spend more time with you and Carl.”

Despite her reluctance to watch him leave, Jasmine shook her head and took his hand, pressing his palm against her cheek. “Ever since the day I woke up, you've been keeping me company. I'm satisfied with the amount of time you spent with me and Carl.”

“I'm sorry.” Theodore caressed her cheek with his finger and said, “I'm going to need you to take care of Carl on your own again.”

“Don't worry about me. He's a good boy.” In a slightly hoarse voice, Jasmine said, “As for you, you ought to take good care of yourself. If you can't call, please get someone to write to me.”

“Okay.”

Jasmine went silent and nuzzled his warm palm affectionately.

A long while later, she rose to her feet and hugged Theodore. “Since we're free now, let's have another baby.”

“Why are you suggesting this all of a sudden?” Theodore's breathing turned rapid as she embraced him tightly. However, he suppressed his urge and said, “I'm afraid that your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Why don't we wait a while more?”
