Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 82 Priceless

“That’s because I only feel alive when I’m working.”

Curtis’ voice was soft and flat. All Rayna could hear was the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind. “Mr. Faymon, what did you say?” she asked as she did not hear his response.

She wanted to lean in to hear him better but ended up tripping over some veins on the ground. Just as she was about to knock her head against his back, he turned around in the nick of time and held her firmly. It was as though he saw it coming.

“Ms. Garland, the ground is uneven,” Curtis said in resignation. Sometimes, I feel that she’s brilliant, and at times, I’d have the opposite opinion. Can’t she walk properly?

From then on, he held her wrist and moved forward while cutting down the shrubs with the other hand.

Rayna’s heart skipped a beat, and her ears flushed as she looked at her wrist that was within his grip.

Around ten minutes later, they finally reached the village and saw that the surrounding buildings were simple but solid. With various vegetables growing around them, the place looked full of vitality.

“Wait!” Rayna shouted at Curtis. Then, she grabbed two handfuls of soil and rubbed them on her face and arms before doing the same for him. Her actions caused him to knit his brows tightly.

“We can’t just go in like this. Let’s pretend we got lost,” she explained.

Curtis was at a loss for words.

“Someone’s coming, Mr. Faymon!” Seeing a man approaching with a hoe over his shoulders as if he was out to farm, Rayna whispered into Curtis’ ear, “Think on your feet.” With that, she proceeded to lie on the ground, acting as though she had fainted.

Curtis did not respond.

When he noticed that the man was heading in their direction, he quickly squatted down and carried Rayna into his arms. She looks like a fugitive with her face covered with soil. A look of amusement flashed across his eyes.
