Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 114 Sorry For Bothering You

…220… …225… …230… …235…

The crowd saw that Curtis had endured for 260 seconds and counting. Excitement bubbled up all around. Curtis, however, looked perfectly at ease as he kept his eyes trained on Rayna.

…400… …410… …419…

At the 420th second, Curtis was still hanging on. Whispers of amazement and admiration sounded all around. Curtis glanced at the timer and casually let himself drop to the ground, landing gracefully on his feet.

Rayna hurried over to him and reached for his hands. Flipping them around, she saw that his palms were red and tender. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. It was easy.”

The game operator approached Curtis with the huge whale plush toy in tow. “Wow, good job, young man! I’ve been running this game for years, and after the couple about four years ago, you are the second person to hang on for that long!”

Curtis took the plush toy from the man and said with a smile, “My sweetheart took a liking to this whale, so I thought I’d give it a shot.”

Rayna’s ears turned pink at his words.

The blue whale plush toy was huge, almost three meters in length. Curtis was afraid that Rayna might have trouble carrying it, so he tossed it over his shoulder and held it with one hand, his other one holding onto Rayna’s. Passersby could not help but stare at the beautiful-looking couple wherever they went.

“Sweetheart, are there any other games that you would like to play?”

“No. Let’s head back.”

Although it was Curtis’ birthday, it seemed that Rayna was the one who had been enjoying the amusement park, and she was rather embarrassed at the realization. After the two of them got into the car, Rayna drove toward her mother’s house with the big blue whale taking up the entire backseat.

Linda was about to go to bed when the two guests arrived. She was surprised to see Rayna when she pulled open the door and exclaimed, “Why are you here again?” As she glanced past her daughter, Linda saw Curtis standing behind the latter. She was doubly surprised at the sight of the striking man.

“It’s his birthday today. I brought him over for a special birthday meal,” Rayna explained. She turned to Curtis and introduced Linda by saying, “Mr. Faymon, this is my mom, Linda.”

Curtis nodded politely at Linda and said apologetically, “Ah, my mother-in-law! Sorry for bothering you this late.”

Rayna blushed at the way Curtis had addressed her mother.
