His Precious Love novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Do Not Need Such Trust
“You taught me all that, no?” Kristie stomped angrily.
When she noticed the change in James’ expression, she quickly explained, “Don’t overthink this, James. It’s all—”
“Kristie, you should have the courage to admit your doings,” Wyatt cut her off. “I recall you telling reporters that a young man from a prominent family was pursuing you. You even mentioned that you were willing to try dating him because he was nice.”
“I didn’t!”
Jeremy glanced outside the cemetery and smiled. “Look, that man is here.”
Upon hearing that, James also looked over. A young man was standing outside the cemetery. One could tell he was from a distinguished family with his sophisticated aura from afar.
Kristie was about to burst into tears.
She was merely following Jeremy’s instructions, so she could not understand why everyone was acting so bizarrely now.
“James, let me—”
James shoved Kristie away and stormed off with a grim expression before she could explain.
“Jeremy, I’ll remember this!” Kristie shot Jeremy a glare. She wanted nothing more than to rip him to shreds. “Watch out! I won’t let you have a good time when you get a girlfriend!”
With that, she quickly ran after James.
“Alas, she has forgotten about her closest friends.” Wyatt shook his head before turning to Jeremy. “Jeremy, why did you ask me to ruin their relationship when they were just about to get back together?”
Jeremy’s words were straightforward. He said, “If their relationship was that perfect, it would be impossible for us to ruin it. Since Jeremy doesn’t like Kristie, he has to suffer for it! How can she always behave so submissively toward him when she’s one of Mr. Faymon’s closest friends? It’s so embarrassing.”
Wyatt glanced at him and could not hold back his curiosity any longer. He uttered, “Jeremy, do you carry bad luck to everyone around you? Look, you interfered with Curtis and Rayna’s matter and caused them to break up. Now, you—”
“That’s right,” Jeremy sneered. “It will be your and Jessie’s turn next!”
Wyatt was annoyed by his words. “Hey! Shut your mouth. Don’t jinx me. Jessie and I have a great relationship. Just worry about yourself. You don’t have a girlfriend or even a boyfriend.”
“The drugs I developed are still in their trial stages. Do you want to give it a try?”
“No!”
Meanwhile, the atmosphere between Rayna and Curtis was thick with tension on their way back home.
Curtis did not head upstairs after they returned.
Rayna did not look at him. Instead, she went upstairs to look for Alfred in the study. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com She knocked and entered after she heard someone answer her.
Alfred was seated next to a full-length window, reading the newspaper while lazily bathing in the warm sunlight.
Upon seeing Rayna, he beamed. “Rayna, come and sit over here.”
Rayna took a seat facing him.
Alfred lamented, “Although I’ve been staying in the Faymon residence because of my poor health, I’m caught up with the news. Julian was a good boy.”
Rayna said in an undertone, “If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have died. It’s all because of me. Old Mr. Faymon, I’m sure you understand what happened.”
Alfred knew what she was talking about.
“I will not stop you from doing what you want,” he replied. He was not the patriarch of the Faymon family anymore, and he was sure Curtis would do the same as him even if Rayna did not say anything.
“Old Mr. Faymon, thank you.” Alfred’s promise dispelled any reservations Rayna had. “I came here to tell you something.”
She explained the misunderstanding regarding her fake pregnancy to Alfred. “There’s really nothing between Mr. Faymon and me. I’ll pass this back to you.”
Then she proceeded to return the sapphire ring to Alfred.
Alfred did not take it. Instead, he glanced at it before replying softly, “Ms. Garland, please allow me to tell you a story if you’re not in a rush.”
Rayna did not want to offend him, so she answered, “Sure.”
Immersed in his memories, Alfred turned and looked outside the window, where sunlight shone in. “A few decades ago, a man went on a work overseas trip and fell in love with a gorgeous woman there. The couple lived together and planned to marry. Suddenly, he received a phone call from home informing him that his grandmother had passed away. The man wanted to bring the woman along to meet his family. However, he was unable to find her on the day he was supposed to leave. He texted her that he would return first because he was rushing to catch the flight. He returned a week later to find the woman but heard she had moved away. The man couldn’t forget the woman and vowed never to marry if he couldn’t find her. A few years later, he received an overseas call from the woman. He learned that she had pulmonary tuberculosis and was dying. She said that she waited for him, but he never showed up. When she found out she was pregnant, she went back to her mother’s place. She then raised her child alone for many years. However, she was running out of time. When she saw the man on the news, she went to great lengths to obtain his phone number, and she didn’t expect the call to go through.”
Alfred’s tone was gentle. His voice broke when he spoke about the woman’s condition. It was evident he was in anguish.
Rayna listened quietly.
“The man went to her hometown to spend her final days with her. When the child conveyed his desire to remain there, he enrolled him in the best school available. He would visit the child every month. Then, the child grew up and became a handsome and intelligent man. He worked at a research institute and met the love of his life there. He brought his lover to his father before they married and had their child.”
Alfred paused for a moment. His tone was rife with sorrow as he went on, “However, his lover had an accident and passed away after a few years. The child could not take it and took his own life.”
Rayna felt a pang in her chest. She could not help but ask, “What happened then?”
“The man then decided that he did not want his grandchild to stay in that place full of sad memories any longer and brought him back to his country. He publicly adopted the grandchild as his legal child and provided him with the best. He wanted to compensate his grandchild for the love he couldn’t provide for his own child.”
Rayna understood everything upon hearing Alfred’s words.
“I-Is the grandchild Curtis?”
Alfred responded mournfully, “My son shot himself in front of Curtis. Curtis did not seem to be in good condition when I arrived. I had no choice but to find someone who could hypnotize him and make him forget about everything.” Tears brimmed in his eyes. “I met the love of my life but didn’t get the opportunity to be with her. I had a son, but he passed away before me.”
Rayna’s thoughts were a tangled mess because Alfred’s words were too much to process. “T-This is insane!”
How can something like this happen? If Curtis finds out, what will he think about this?
Alfred knew Rayna did not believe him, so he took out a photo album.
“This is Curtis and his parents.”
A beautiful woman was carrying a chubby baby in the yellowish photograph. The man holding her by her waist was handsome and looked like Alfred.
The family of three looked blissful.
Alfred flipped through the photo album. Rayna noticed he would occasionally appear in Curtis’ childhood photos.
After flipping through the whole album, Alfred uttered, “Rayna, I’m telling you this because I trust you, just like how Curtis trusts you.”
Rayna’s lips curled up, and she scoffed, “I don’t need such trust.”
“I brought up Curtis myself, so I’m clear of his character.” Alfred sighed. “He didn’t mean to lie to you. He only wished for you to mature.”
