His Precious Love

Chapter 173 She Is My Sister

“That’s right. I still have the check in my bag!” Rayna replied.

A sudden thought came into Curtis’ mind. He posed another question to Rayna. “Why do you think your brother is homosexual?”

“Because of that time when I called him to come home for a meal,” Rayna mumbled. “The person who answered the call seems to be a girl. She had a bad temper and said I was disturbing her. I asked my brother if the girl was his girlfriend. He denied it and claimed that the person was his roommate, who happened to have a high-pitched voice. Afterward…”

Rayna rested against the side of the bathtub and sighed. “When I asked more, he started to hem and haw. That was when I knew something was up.”

“Which day was it?”

“Huh? Why do you ask about the day? It should be Wednesday, I think.”

Curtis rubbed his chin, recalling the Wednesday morning Kristie had sent him several text messages. She was complaining about Gray Wolf abandoning her for a date with another woman when he was her bodyguard and supposed to protect her at all times.

So she was following James then and thought Rayna was his girlfriend?

Very soon, Curtis made sense of everything. He casually remarked, “Trust me. Your brother is straight as a stick.”

“Why is that so?” Rayna inched closer to Curtis, curious about his claim.

“Instinct.”

Rayna could not help but burst out laughing. “If you’re a woman, I’ll hundred percent trust your instinct. But Mr. Faymon, you’re a man, so I don’t believe you!”

“Well, just don’t dwell too much on it.” Curtis did not say anything more. Some things were better left for James to explain personally. “Don’t be too shocked if he brings a girl and introduces her to you in the future.”

Rayna waved her hand. “Nah, I won’t interfere as long as he likes her. It doesn’t matter if she’s not pretty; she can make it up with her intelligence! It doesn’t matter what kind of girl she is as long as she’s not like Ms. Winton. Girls like Ms. Winton tend to be whiny. They’re more suitable to be married to prestigious families and be pampered by their husbands. My brother is so easygoing. He’ll be bullied if he has a girlfriend like Ms. Winton.”

Rayna rambled on for a while before realizing Curtis was looking at her oddly. She knew she had spoken too much and hastily explained, “Mr. Faymon, please don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean anything in particular. I’m just giving an example!”

Curtis simply hummed in response.
