Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 401

With a cold look in his eyes, Curtis closed the door and returned to the bedroom.

The bed was in a mess, and Rayna was sleeping soundly with the blanket wrapped tightly around her body. Curtis arched an eyebrow as he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.

After being submerged in the bathtub for a bit, Rayna slowly opened her eyes and stared at him.

“Hey, Curtis…” she mumbled and wrapped her arms around him, giving him a kiss on the neck while nuzzling against his chest.

Curtis felt his heart soften up a little, but he pried her off and said coldly, “Bathe yourself!”

Rayna pressed her head firmly against his chest as she bragged, “Oh, come on! Do it for me! I got a perfect victory in the billiard room earlier! Aren’t you going to compliment me?”

While she spoke, she lifted her head and gazed at him glassy-eyed, arousing pity.

“Give me your hand,” Curtis said with an expressionless look on his face.

“Okay.” Rayna pouted as she let go of him and held out her arm. It was so thin and pale that it looked like it would snap if Curtis wasn’t careful with it.

Curtis’ face clouded over when he saw how skinny she was. Is Jefferson not feeding her right? Why is she so skinny?

Rayna simply sat there in complete silence while Curtis gave her a bath.

He was surprised that she was so well-behaved, but it wasn’t until he looked up at her face that he realized she had fallen asleep. Rayna looked rather innocent as she slept with her head tilted forward.

Curtis could only let out a helpless sigh as he continued bathing her. After that, he wrapped her up in a towel and carried her back into the bedroom.

He had just set her down on the bed when he heard a faint ringing coming from Rayna’s handbag.

He opened the handbag and retrieved her phone, which was still ringing and vibrating. However, the look on his face turned gloomy when he saw Jefferson’s name on the caller ID.
