Chapter 612

After leaving the hotel, Curtis was about to set Rayna down in the back seat of the car. Seeing the angry look on his face, she swiftly tightened her arms over his neck in a desperate attempt to hang onto him.

Curtis shot her a look and gave in. He took a seat in the back seat with her still in his arms and ordered the driver to head back to the Faymon residence.

“You're more handsome now after not seeing you for a month, Darling!” Rayna cupped his face and planted a kiss on his lips. After releasing him, she asked, “Did you miss me, Darling?”

Curtis didn't budge at her praise or kiss. With a scoff, he reached for his phone to make a call.

“Don't!” Rayna knew what he was trying to do and immediately clung onto his arm, stopping him from making the call. “Chandler is the cash cow of Happy Entertainment. If you suspend him from all activities, won't my company be in trouble?”

“Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?” Curtis narrowed his eyes slightly. A scary look flashed across his eyes.

“No! Absolutely not! I just want to talk to you.” Rayna softened her voice. “He only confessed his feelings for me. He didn't do anything—”

Noticing his face turning darker by the minute, she hurriedly told him the truth and coaxed, “All right. He hugged me, so I slapped him across the face. After he finished a few shows by the company and raked in some income, I'll let you do whatever you want. You can't touch him now. Let him earn some money for my business. Is that okay, Darling?”

Rayna gave him another kiss before she complained, “You know about Glory's lack of flowing funds. I want to invest in Juvili Technologies, but that needs funds. Someone will need to earn that money. Am I right?”

Curtis ignored her.

“Darling...” Rayna wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him. “I already applied for a two-week leave. I'll spend the entire fortnight with you and the kids at home. I won't go anywhere, and I'll prepare all the meals. How about that?”

“One month,” Curtis finally said. “You can't leave after taking a call.”

Rayna nodded. “One month, then!”

“Make our relationship public.”

Rayna didn't respond to his demand.

With a cold smile, Curtis lightly pinched her cheeks. “What? Am I that embarrassing?”

“No!” Rayna figured they'd already kept their marriage a secret long enough, and others had already seen them back in the private room earlier. The cat was already out of the bag. “Fine, make it public, then.”

Curtis studied her face, slightly dubious about her giving in to his demand so quickly. “What are you thinking?”

“Nothing. Make it public if that's what you want, Darling.” Rayna reached up and pecked his chin. Her eyes squinted from smiling widely. “This is a chance for everyone to see how handsome my husband is. They'll be so jealous!”


Curtis snorted.

It was already nine at night when Curtis and Rayna finally arrived at the Faymon residence.

The kids had fallen asleep an hour ago with the nanny's help.

Seeing Curtis' and Rayna's return, Sandy asked if they wanted to eat anything, thinking she would prepare supper for them.

Knowing it was an excellent opportunity to make Curtis happy again, Rayna urged Sandy to return to bed and decided to make spaghetti carbonara for Curtis herself.

After her shower, Rayna applied lotion to her body and changed into her pajama.

She spotted Curtis lying on the bed upon exiting the bathroom. Sneakily, she took off her shoes and carefully climbed into bed. Keeping her gaze on him, she slowly rolled over to him.

Rayna threw her arms over his waist. “Darling, we should sleep now.”

She reached for his hand and placed it over the ribbons on her pajama. One tiny movement from him would undo her pajama. Yet, he retracted his hand and pulled the covers over her.

“I still have some work to finish. Go ahead and sleep first.”

By the time Rayna snapped out of her daze, Curtis was already leaving the bedroom. She continued to watch him leave with a baffled look.

Rayna undid her ribbon and peeked inside. “I still go to the spa every fortnight despite business travels. I know I'm sexy, but why doesn't it tempt him?”

Maybe he's too busy with his work?

Rayna didn't stick to that train of thought for long since the next day was the start of her one-month-long holiday.

She would deal with anything important via WhatsApp. If the issue couldn't be dealt with through WhatsApp, it would have to wait until the end of her holiday.

The three kids already knew how to crawl, and they crawled really quickly.

Yosef and Yelena were obedient. Only the youngest, Xareni, was a crybaby. She would cry when she woke up and cry again before going to bed.

During her holiday, Rayna started posting photos of her children on her Instagram. She would prepare a lunch box and bring it to Faymon Group when Curtis was in the office.

Curtis didn't even need to make their relationship public. He merely confirmed having a wife during an interview. Hence, when the reporters caught Rayna entering the Faymon Group with Curtis' lunch, news about Rayna and Curtis was plastered all over the internet within the next minute.

Rayna had always kept a low profile. Basically, nobody would recognize nor have any dispute with her other than close acquaintances in the entertainment industry.

When her marriage with Curtis was made public, shares of Glory and Happy Entertainment skyrocketed. The shareholders had wide grins across their faces for days.

Two days later, Rayna's new pajamas arrived. She swiftly changed into it and sneaked into bed at night to show it to Curtis. “Darling, look at my new pajama! Isn't it pretty?”

Curtis shifted his glance at her pajama and answered with a deadpan expression, “Doesn't that feel tight? Won't it feel suffocating when you sleep?”

Before Rayna could respond, he left for the study after saying he had work to do.

After getting rejected twice, Rayna felt defeated. On one fine day, she invited Jessica and Jasmine out for afternoon tea and told them about the situation with Curtis.

Rayna took a sip of her coffee and frowned. “Say, do you think I'm not pretty enough? Or is there something wrong with my husband?”

Instead of answering, Jessica questioned, “What do you think?”

“I think I have a sexy body.” Rayna lowered her head to check out herself, rested her chin on her hand, and sighed. “But ever since we have kids, he doesn't touch me anymore.”

“Could it be...” Jessica paused a beat before whispering, “He's getting old?”

Rayna's expression darkened when she figured that was a possibility. She turned to Jasmine. “Does Theodore act like that too?”

“He already left for over six months.” Jasmine speared a piece of cake into her mouth and replied, “However, I think it's different for everyone. For guys like Theodore, they have fit bodies, but Curtis...”

Jessica nodded in agreement and patted Rayna's shoulder. “Nana, men have a hard time bringing this topic up. Make sure you talk it out nicely with Curtis when you go home.”

Rayna was shocked by Jessica's and Jasmine's continuous remarks.
