His Precious Love

Chapter 646

Before Rayna lost her memories, she used to address Curtis as “Darling” frequently.

After she lost her memories, however, Curtis noticed that Rayna had grown wary of him. In fact, she hadn't addressed him so ever since she returned.

At night, when they were both in the same bed, Curtis would habitually want to hug her to sleep. However, Rayna would somewhat intentionally avoid him. Although he would still end up hugging her in the end, he still minded her behavioral changes. If I hadn't had so many people testifying for me, she wouldn't have believed that we were legally married.

“By the way, I heard a conversation you had with Grandpa in the study by accident last night. It was regarding a project in Yartran that might go south. What does that mean?” Rayna tried to talk about something else to ease the slightly amorous atmosphere between them.

Curtis, who was getting intimate with Rayna, stopped what he was doing when he heard that. He looked at her in shock and asked, “You heard that?”

“Yes.” Rayna nodded. “When I got up, you weren't next to me. I-I went out to look for you. I didn't mean to eavesdrop,” she explained.

Habits were a funny thing. At first, she was uncomfortable sleeping next to Curtis. After some time, she gradually got used to it.

The night before, she woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. That was when she realized Curtis wasn't in bed. However, the warmth she felt on the sheet on his side of the bed was present. That showed he had only gotten out of bed moments before she woke up.

She then called out to him in the bedroom, but she didn't get any response. Hence, she got out of bed on her own to go to the bathroom. Yet, she couldn't see, and she was afraid that she would embarrass herself if anything happened while she was alone. Holding that thought, she went out to look for him.

To her surprise, she heard the conversation between Curtis and Alfred.

“Prior to this, Faymon Group made a bid for a real estate project in Yartran. Before you got into the accident, something happened to the project, and it's still not sorted out,” Curtis answered truthfully. This time around, I'm not going to hide it from Rayna. I don't want anything to happen to her because of the concern she has for me.

After a momentary hesitation, Rayna asked, “Is it a tricky situation?”

“Not really. It's just that we aren't sure about some things, so we don't know how to act,” Curtis answered and soon noticed something. “Could it be that you have some pointers for me, Rayna?”

“No.” Rayna shook her head and recalled the past events in Yartran. “You said Faymon Group has a project in Yartran, right? I was originally there before you brought me back. Could it be that these two incidences are related?”

Curtis came to a realization the moment he heard those words. With a smile on his face, he lowered his head to kiss Rayna's forehead. “Good job, Rayna! Your reminder came just in time.”

Before that, Curtis was too focused on locating Rayna. Upon finding her, he was then busy looking for medical teams to treat Rayna's eyes. While I was busy doing all those things, an obvious factor slipped my mind! These two events happened in Yartran. Could that be a coincidence, or is someone behind it? If someone's pulling the strings behind the scene, who could it be? What's that person's motive? I need to investigate this thoroughly.

The car slowly came to a halt in the Faymon residence. By then, the drizzle had stopped.

When Curtis was carrying Rayna out of the car, he saw a suited middle-aged man standing in front of the fountain in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. At that moment, Alfred was standing next to that middle-aged man.

Seeing that Curtis and Rayna were back, Alfred approached them and glanced at Rayna, who was in Curtis' arms. “You guys are back. Bring your wife in before coming over for a bit.”

“Sure.” Curtis turned his head in the direction that Alfred was looking. There, he saw a few men in military outfits standing around the middle-aged man. A frown soon appeared on Curtis' face, but he managed to conceal it and appear calm.

Upon hearing that, Rayna patted Curtis' shoulder lightly and asked, “Is there something you guys need to talk about?”

“Don't worry, Rayna. Curtis isn't needed right now, so he can bring you up first. It's not a big deal.” Alfred patted Rayna's shoulder to comfort her after seeing her expression, which looked as if she was guilty for interrupting a discussion the men were going to have.

Curtis put Rayna in bed in the bedroom and pulled the blanket over her. He wanted to talk to her for a while, but she urged, “Go to Grandpa, okay? The housekeepers are here, so I'll be fine.”

“I'll come back to you after that.” Curtis leaned down to kiss her cheek. When he did that, he noticed that her ears turned red. Right away, he was aroused.

It had been more than two weeks since Rayna returned from Yartran, but they still hadn't had sex yet.
