His Precious Love novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577

Rayna blushed a little when she recalled Curtis' intimate action.

Since she couldn't reach the ice cream, she held Curtis' arm and uttered coyly, “Just one bite, okay? I promise I just want a taste of it. I'm being honest!”

Curtis kept mum.

“Mr. Faymon, please have mercy. Please...”

Curtis was at a loss for words. However, his heart softened when he saw how pitiful she looked as she stared at the ice cream in his hand. “Just a small bite, okay?” he asked.

Rayna nodded vigorously. “Just a small bite! You have my word!”

Curtis lowered his arm and held the ice cream next to her mouth.

Seeing that, Rayna quickly held Curtis' wrist tightly and opened her mouth as wide as she could. However, he gently held the back of her neck and reminded her, “Mrs. Faymon, please remember what you said. Otherwise, I'll stop showing you mercy.”

In the end, Rayna had no choice but to only take a small bite of the ice cream.

“Good girl.” Curtis was pleased. After that, he finished the rest of the ice cream before her eyes.

Infuriated, Rayna rolled her eyes at him and strode off.

Curtis chased after her to walk by her side so that she wouldn't trip and fall. “Slow down. You're going to make yourself feel uncomfortable by walking so quickly.”

Rayna's expression turned grim, and she ignored him. This man is so annoying! Not only did he stop me from eating ice cream, but he also finished it before my eyes! That's so inhumane!

Noticing the look on her face, Curtis knew she was angry. In a helpless tone, he said, “Ice cream is too cold for you. Besides, you haven't eaten anything this morning. It's not good to eat ice cream on an empty stomach. I'll buy another one for you tomorrow.”

“That's not necessary!” Rayna let out a cold snort.

“Even if I'm not around, you're still not allowed to eat ice cream.” Curtis knew what Rayna had on her mind. “I'll get Carl to watch you. He wouldn't dare to collude with you.”

“You!” Rayna glared at him and gritted her teeth. “Why must you be so cruel? I'm already six months pregnant, yet I can't even eat ice cream. Are they really so fragile?”

“I didn't say you weren't allowed to have any. It's just that you shouldn't eat it on an empty stomach. Don't misunderstand me,” Curtis explained patiently.

“You just don't want to let me eat ice cream!” Rayna grumbled.

Rayna shoved him aside and distanced herself from him. With a cold expression, she grumbled, “I'm going to name our daughter 'Ice Cream!' That way, she's going to remind me to eat ice cream every day. Let's see how you are going to stop me then!”

“Are you sure we'll have a girl?” Curtis caught up to her and asked, “What if they all end up being boys?”

“What are you on about, Curtis?” Rayna got annoyed and punched him. “I've already gone for the checkup, and I'm going to have two girls! How would they suddenly change into boys?”

Curtis let out a soft chuckle. “You reminded me I'll have to take you to a checkup next week.”

“I don't need you to bring me! I'll go on my own!”

“All right. Sure. You'll go on your own.” Curtis didn't want to argue with her because he didn't want her mood to get affected too much. Hence, he changed the topic by asking, “I bought watermelon! Would you like to eat it directly or drink its juice?”

Rayna turned away to ignore him.

Seeing that, Curtis didn't get angry. Instead, he approached her to wrap his arm around her waist so that she could walk more comfortably. Just like that, the two of them went into the condominium together.

Somewhere far away, Jefferson was watching them enter the condominium quietly. At that moment, his expression was frighteningly calm.

Next to him, Emerald uttered hesitatingly, “Mr. Hamilton, I'm sure Ms. Garland still has feelings for you. It's just that she's pregnant with Mr. Faymon's kids, so she can't cut ties with him.”

Before that, Ringo wasn't in Norwal City, so Emerald accompanied Jefferson to the hospital to fetch Rayna. However, they were told that Rayna had been discharged long ago.

Mr. Hamilton had just gone to the supermarket to buy groceries. Since he was going to cook for Ms. Garland, I thought I would get to mooch a free meal too! Who would've known that we would see Ms. Garland and Mr. Faymon together?

Jefferson only responded a long while later when he flashed a faint smile and said, “I know.”

He then gave the groceries to Emerald. “Since Mr. Faymon is keeping Belle company, I guess I'll stay out of their way. Bring these cooking ingredients home, okay? It would be a waste to throw them away.”

Emerald took the ingredients from him and asked cautiously, “Shouldn't we send these to Ms. Garland?”

“Mr. Faymon is going to make lunch for her. Go home, okay? I have property here in this residential area.” Jefferson shook his head.

Hearing that, Emerald had no choice but to leave with the groceries.

Jefferson remained standing there as he stared at the condominium with his blue eyes. At the same time, he was clenching his fists. How could I not mind? I'm willing to wait a lifetime for her affection. However, it hurts to see her getting close to another man.

Upon arriving home, Curtis brought the ingredients to the kitchen while Rayna went to rest on the couch.

As she drank her watermelon juice, she read the news.

With the advancements in information technology, news traveled fast. Although some news could be covered up rather quickly, it wouldn't stop people from discussing them.

Rayna was sick of the news in the entertainment industry, so she scrolled downward. The moment she did that, she saw a few news articles that caught her by surprise. She then quickly sat up on the couch and read the articles intently. Mr. Nicholson was sacked for corruption, and several other corrupt officials were implicated in a case involving fifty billion!

Rayna covered her mouth with her hand in shock at the number. The politicians had to serve years in prison for embezzling millions. Considering Mr. Nicholson's position, he might be imprisoned for life!

Little did Rayna know that the next news article was going to shock her even more.

The person behind the Aoba Project that she and Jefferson had been looking for turned out to be a telecommunication company called Yanks Corporation. The day before, the director and president of Yanks Corporation personally revealed the plan to the media.

Not only could a breakthrough in the telecommunication industry improve the living quality of people all around the world, but it could also increase a country's GDP. Hence, it could decide the strength of the country.

Rayna looked through the article a few times before bringing her phone to Curtis.

“Did you know about this?” Rayna showed Curtis the news article. With a surprised expression, she said, “I was looking for the person behind the project for so long. Who would've thought that it could be Yanks Corporation?”

Curtis had personally handed Aoba Project out, but Rayna wasn't aware of that.

Curtis glanced at the article and pretended to be in shock. “Is that true? I didn't know about it.”

“You've always taken part in profitable projects, no? How could you have missed out on this?” Rayna let out a sigh and added, “Initially, I wanted to have a discussion with their boss behind closed doors. Now, everyone knows about the project, and the country will surely take part in it. Once they do that, there's nothing we can do to make money out of it.”

“It's just a telecommunication technology project, though.” Despite Curtis' words, he actually felt disappointed. It's such a shame. Mr. Winton wanted the ivory chess set, which was the museum's prized item, and nothing else. Since I couldn't get my hands on that, I had to give something of mine away.

“What?” Rayna was infuriated by Curtis' calmness. However, she quickly remembered the astronomical net worth he had, and the anger drained out of her. I bet he has gotten numerous mega projects like this before.

Not wanting to start an argument, she waved her hands in the air and uttered softly, “Mr. Nicholson has been sacked.”

“Yes. I know.” Curtis' tone was still as calm as ever. He then glanced at the time and noticed that his roast beef was almost done. After cutting a slice, he blew on it and delivered it toward Rayna's mouth. “Have a taste.”

Rayna was feeling hungry from the smell, so she subconsciously opened her mouth to eat the morsel of meat.

“How is it?” Curtis asked.
