His Precious Love Chapter 368
Hearing Rayna’s remark, Ringo was filled with astonishment.
She’s simply too smart! With her help, it doesn’t seem that difficult for Jefferson to reclaim the Terblanc family’s succession rights.
The long journey from Frosa to Yartran took ten hours, and they even had to make a layover midway. Fortunately, it didn’t take them long. They would be landing in another three hours.
Rayna had been sleeping ever since she boarded the plane. For that reason, she was wide awake after transferring flights. Putting on headphones, she tapped on the small screen twice and ended up with a news program.
The host’s voice drifted out of the headphones. It was the 43rd World Economic Conference, whereby renowned company owners around the globe would gather together to discuss economic issues and the like.
For such a program, filming rights were awarded to certain organizations or television stations. The angles were superb, ensuring that the audience could see each person’s expression clearly.
The tall and slender man who made his appearance last had Rayna’s eyes turning red–rimmed.
At that time, she hadn’t yet made Curtis‘ acquaintance.
The man was wearing his usual polite yet shallow smile. His well–tailored suit added to his allure, rendering him mature and steady.
He pulled out a chair and sat down beside an older man.
From when he entered the place until the discussion began, he had been keeping a low profile without revealing his shrewdness.
There were many young and talented people from other countries, but they paled in comparison with him. It was as though they lacked his steady air no matter how much they tried to pretend otherwise.
As time passed, the atmosphere at the conference started easing. Everyone appeared to have grown lazy, whispering among themselves in groups of two or three and chatting together like friends.
The camera panned over to Curtis.
At that moment, the older man was speaking to him. He showed Curtis his passport, telling the latter that his child had doodled on it, so he could only return to his country when his new passport was ready.
Chuckling lowly, Curtis commented, “Well, kids are all pretty naughty. It won’t take much to apply for a new passport.”
“I only had my daughter when I was forty years old, so I pamper her greatly, the older man said. “You must have been married long ago, yes? Do you have a kid yet?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Seriously? Are your standards too high?”
“Isn’t that only natural? After all, getting married and having kids aren’t as fun as making money.” Curtis flashed him a faint smile, seemingly unfazed.
The older man waved a hand in disagreement. “Don’t think that way. I thought the same back then, but I later discovered that things seemed meaningless when I’d played the field, built my company, and made a fortune. In life, other than self–happiness, having a child and seeing him or her grow up is also a joy.”
Curtis massaged his temples. “This is an economic conference, Mr. Buffett.”

“Anyone would be tired when this conference has gone for such a long time, the older man countered. Noticing that the camera was focused on them, he smilingly leaned close to the camera and waved before putting on a public display of affection. “Do you see me, Darling? I’ll be going back when I’ve gotten my new passport. Has our baby been good? Did he kick you?”
Laughter came from the other side, seemingly coming from the cameraman.
Curtis leaned back, leaving only half his body within the camera frame. “All this might end up broadcasted, Mr. Buffett.”
“It’s okay. I don’t mind it. This conference is only once in three years, and everyone will forget about me in no time.”
At the sight of the exasperated expression on Curtis‘ face when he finally entered the camera range, Rayna burst into giggles. He seemed to be lamenting his choice of sitting beside a chatterbox when choosing his seat.
And here I thought that all the big shots attending the World Economic Conference would be rigid and solemn!
Shortly after, the conference ended, and all the participants left one by one. The cameraman châsed after some of them and inquired about their opinion, Curtis included.
Watching as the man answered the questions calmly, Rayna lifted her hand dazedly and outlined his features through the screen, her heart twisting in agony.
I miss you so much, Curtis.
By the time the plane landed in Yartran, it was already seven o’clock in the evening.
Ringo had long since contacted some men and ordered them to wait at the airport. After exiting the lobby, he protected Jefferson and Rayna as they got into the car.
Even when she was dating Jefferson in the past, she had never been to his house. But this time, she was here.
