His Precious Love novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Do The Same To Kristie

Seeing that she could no longer avoid Curtis anymore, Rayna turned to look at him with a stiff smile.

“Mr. Faymon, do you want to eat an apple?”

“Yes.”

His frank reply took her by surprise, so she had no choice but to start peeling the apple with a fruit knife.

This is so awkward! I wouldn’t have agreed to come here if I had known how difficult spending time with Mr. Faymon would be.

The atmosphere in the kitchen was tense. It was quiet until Curtis broke the silence by asking, “Rayna, are you avoiding me because of what happened the other day?”

The period of time when Rayna was not in touch with him made him feel quite uneasy. He missed having her nag at him by his side.

However, he could not head to the office to see her because of his condition.

The second he brought it up, Rayna immediately thought of the kiss they had shared in the restroom. It made her feel even more embarrassed. “No, that’s not the case. Things have been very hectic in the office. Also, I’m curious to know what Chester is up to, considering that he hasn’t taken any action for a long time.”

After the apple was peeled, she cut half of it and tossed it to Curtis while changing the subject. “I came here to discuss this matter with you. What do you think he’s waiting for?”

Curtis took the apple and replied calmly, “He’s waiting for the best time to strike. You have around the same original issue shares as him. However, in reality, he doesn’t have many since my father has the majority.”

His words were rather profound, so Rayna had to ruminate on it for a while before she understood him.

“Everyone knows how ambitious he is. There’s no way Old Mr. Faymon would give Chester his shares,” she stated.

With that, she thought of something, and her expression became anxious. “If Chester is put in a tough spot, would he do something bad to Old Mr. Faymon?”

“He may think about it, but he wouldn’t dare to do it,” Curtis replied flatly. However, murderous intent brimmed in his eyes. “If anyone in the Faymon family has the audacity to lay a finger on my father, I’ll destroy the whole family!”

Rayna knew he was as good as his word.

Curtis was adopted and brought up by Alfred, so he had long considered the latter as his father.

However, Rayna could not fathom one thing. Why would Uncle Curtis’ birth parents be so cruel as to abandon a healthy and exceptional person like him? Who knows what might have happened to him if he hadn’t met Old Mr. Faymon?

At that thought, she glanced at Curtis’ side profile, and her heart ached for him. A moment later, she faked a cough and changed the topic. “Mr. Faymon, do you have plans, then? Could you let me know?”

“No, I have no plans.”

Rayna was stunned. “What? You don’t have any?”

“That’s right. I’ll just counter his every move.” When Curtis noticed her shocked expression, a hint of joy flitted across his eyes. “Besides, you have become totally comfortable with your role as the CEO and can think on your feet very well. Even if something were to happen to me, I’m confident that you’ll be able to deal with it. When I lost consciousness due to the car accident, weren’t you the one who helped to solve everything in the company at its most difficult times?”

From tricking Rayna into going to Tyrandas to having her become the manager of the Department of Regulators, as well as her performance as the acting CEO of Faymon Group, he had seen everything and witnessed all of her changes.

She’s like a pearl buried under the sand. Once someone brushes off the sand, she will be able to shine brightly.

Curtis was different from Jefferson.

The latter liked to keep her hidden, preferring to have her enjoy a pampered life in a cage and keep her away from all hardships. On the other hand, Curtis was keen on giving her the freedom to pursue her interests so that she could unleash her potential.

Rather than relying on someone’s protection, he wished for Rayna to succeed and make her way in life.

Whilst he could not deny that he used Rayna to deceive the Faymons, he had, nevertheless, put a lot of effort into training her, and she did not let him down.

“Mr. Faymon, stop saying such ominous things.” Rayna disliked hearing those words. “Don’t listen to what other people are blabbering about. Your leg is fine. You only need more rest. The doctor Mr. Lopez hired for you is too unreliable. I’ll find someone for you. You should take a stroll outside often. It’s not good to stay at home all day…”

Curtis fell silent as the woman started nagging. There was no end to her words.
