Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 426

Staring at her, Curtis saw that she had cried her eyes red. The pitiful expression on her face made her look as though someone had bullied her.

Both of them stood frozen at the door for more than ten seconds. Only then did Curtis walk down the steps and handed a wad of cash to Gabriel.

Filled with resignation, he instructed Gabriel, “Drive around and see if you can find any cheese buns. Get a pack of them if you do.”

“Huh?” Gabriel stood stupidly still, looking at Curtis in shock. “C-Cheese buns?”

Curtis glowered. “Are my instructions not clear enough?”

Gabriel looked in Rayna’s direction. The sight of her bobbing shoulders made him realize something. “Mr. Faymon, this is too much trouble. It’s raining now. I have no idea who would still be selling buns at this hour. You should just open the door and bring the cat to Ms. Garland. When I send her back later, I’ll see if there’s any place selling buns along the way.”

“Don’t you know how to search?”

“It’s too troublesome that way. The buns will already be cold by the time I come back.”

Curtis was speechless.

“Mr. Faymon, you should hurry up and open the door. I’ll be waiting right here.”

Curtis shot Gabriel an insidious glare before stuffing the money into his hands. “Go and buy the cheese buns. If you don’t return with them, you can start packing your bags and prepare to stay in Norham for a year.”

“I’m on my way!” Feeling a chill down his spine, Gabriel swiftly hopped into his car after taking the money.

Being his assistant is a challenging job indeed!

Curtis finally returned to the living room after watching Gabriel drive off.

When he saw Rayna still sobbing, as if he was the one who caused it, he couldn’t help but feel lost.

He consoled her, “Stop crying. I’ve sent Mr. Tylinski out to buy some. It’s just cheese buns after all.”
