His Precious Love novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 Wyatt Is Here
“Maybe.” Sandy forced a smile. It’s been decades, and so many things have happened. Sometimes, it’s just too late to make amends.
Sandy chatted with Linda for a while before receiving a phone call and stating that she had to leave.
“Since I didn’t bring gifts, I want you to have this.” Sandy shoved a bag toward Linda. “Consider this my meeting gift for Rayna.”
Linda refused to accept the gift. “I can’t accept this! You didn’t even meet her. Save it for the next time you see her.”
“Do you take me as an outsider?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Then keep it.” Sandy smiled and forced Linda to accept the gift. “Curtis has a lot of shortcomings, so please bear with him.”
Linda quickly said, “No. He’s a nice person, and he’s very capable.”
“I’ll visit you again in the future!”
The call Sandy had received earlier seemed urgent because she left hurriedly after saying that to Linda.
Linda watched Sandy get into the elevator and glanced at the bag in her hand. Mr. Faymon’s mother is so pretty. But why do I feel that there’s no resemblance between the two of them? Could it be that he got his looks from his father? Also, his mother is too kind.
After lunch, Rayna followed Curtis back to the office. When she told Curtis she wanted to take a few days off work, he merely raised his brows and hummed in acknowledgment.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Are you not going to ask me where I’m going?”
“Where are you going?”
“Vacation!” Rayna replied petulantly. “I want to find a place where no one knows me and have some fun.”
“See? It’s not like you’re going to give me a proper answer.” Curtis smiled helplessly. “Go on and have some fun, then. Come back to work once you’ve had your fun.”
Rayna turned to look at him suspiciously. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com This is weird. He’s usually jealous of James and so overbearing. I just told him I’m going on a vacation on my own. Is he not worried about me?
“Curtis.”
“Hmm?”
“Are you not worried about me going alone? Are you not afraid that I might fall in love with another man?”
Curtis chuckled and answered with confidence, “You wouldn’t dare! Besides, how are you going to find someone as rich and capable as I am?”
Rayna rolled her eyes at him. “What a narcissist.”
“I’m not. I’m just spitting facts,” Curtis corrected.
Rayna ignored him.
After arriving at the office, Rayna completed her remaining tasks and applied for a leave of absence. Once she was free, she rang Linda and told her she would be going abroad for a vacation.
By then, Linda was already at home. Apart from urging Rayna to take care of herself, she didn’t comment much when Rayna told her she would be going on a vacation with her friends. After mulling over it for a while, Linda said, “Mr. Faymon’s mother is quite pretty.”
“What? How do you know, Mom?” Rayna asked. The family portrait James got his hands on is now with me. I don’t think I’ve ever shown it to her.
“Well, Mr. Faymon’s handsome. He must’ve gotten his looks from his parents!”
Oh, I see. Curtis’ mom was indeed a pretty woman. Rayna thought about the picture. “Yeah, but it’s a shame his parents passed away a long time ago.”
Linda was stumped. “H-His parents are dead?”
“Yes. You never follow the news about such things, so I’m not surprised that you didn’t know. When he was six, his parents died in an accident. Old Mr. Faymon took him in.”
“Then this morning…”
“Mom, what happened this morning?” Rayna asked curiously.
Linda was at a loss for words. After a while, she said, “It’s nothing. I just thought he looked moody this morning. I thought he missed his family.”
“Was he moody? I didn’t notice that.”
“I know better!” Linda wanted to end the conversation, so she said, “I need to prepare the ingredients for the dishes tomorrow. Bye!”
With that, she hung up.
Rayna heaved a sigh inwardly. She values those dishes more than she values me!
At seven-thirty in the morning on Friday, Jasmine went to fetch Rayna and Jessica. Although she was dressed casually, she looked as graceful as the models on the runway.
Jessica was envious of Jasmine. “If I have a figure like yours, I’ll look good even in a gunny sack.”
“Don’t even think about it! With her body and your personality, people would think that you had just escaped from a mental hospital.” Rayna patted Jessica on the shoulder. “You look just fine with your height.”
“Why are you so mean to me, Nana?” Jessica glared at Rayna. “You’re as mean as Mr. Faymon!”
“Yes, we’re mean. And you’re the cutest,” Rayna replied sarcastically.
Jessica snorted in response.
With their luggage packed, the ladies went downstairs together. After that, they got into a minivan that looked ordinary from the outside. The interior of the minivan, however, was nothing short of luxury. Even the fridge was studded with diamonds.
Jessica leaned against Jasmine and asked if she ever wanted a younger sister. “Even if you don’t want a younger sister, it’s fine. I’m still young. Once you’ve given birth to a son, I’ll wait until he turns fifteen. Then I’m going to marry him!”
Rayna smacked the back of Jessica’s head and scolded, “Why are you such a gold digger?”
“I’m not. I merely see the importance of money.” Jessica smiled mischievously. “Nana, if you give me a Bugatti, I don’t mind becoming your daughter-in-law!”
Rayna was bereft of speech.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at the port.
There were a lot of ships docked at the port. One of them had a whale symbol on the bow of the ship, and that was the most eye-catching one of them all. It was four stories high, and its external structure looked magnificent.
“Wow!” Jessica raised her head to look at the top of the Blue Whale cruise ship. “The famous Blue Whale is enormous! Doesn’t that mean Planet Cruise is even more breathtaking?”
She then gave Rayna a nudge and asked excitedly, “Nana, when are we getting on Planet Cruise? I can’t wait!”
Rayna sneered, “You won’t have a chance. You and Wyatt are already on my blacklist.”
Jessica pouted in response.
“Hey! Don’t you think you’re being too mean?” Wyatt appeared out of nowhere and wrapped his arm around Jessica’s shoulders. “How could you bully my woman?”
“What are you doing here?” Rayna’s expression turned solemn. After that, she glared at Jessica as if the latter were a traitor.
“I didn’t tell him! I swear!” Jessica raised her hand into the air, then scolded Wyatt, “Spill it! What are you doing here?”
Wyatt played along and grinned mischievously. “I tracked your phone down! You should’ve been honest with me! Oh… So you guys are going abroad for a vacation?”
“I can go wherever I want!” Jessica shoved his arm away. “How could you stalk me? You’re so shameless!”
Wyatt immediately threw himself at her again. “I came because I don’t want you to get bullied! No. I must follow you guys and take care of all of you.”
“There’s no need for that!”
“What if I say I’ll pay for shopping? I can even help you guys carry your bags!”
“No!” Jessica seemed angry. Since she couldn’t shake him off, she turned toward Rayna and uttered weakly, “Nana, this really isn’t my fault. You have to believe me!”
“Believe you, my foot!” Rayna gritted her teeth. This was supposed to be a vacation for the three of us. With Wyatt here, I’ll have to endure watching him and Jessica display their affection for each other publicly. How am I supposed to have fun now?
Rayna then glanced around the port to see if Curtis would show up as well. I can feel something’s off!
