His Precious Love

Chapter 192 It Will Not Be The Same

Massaging his temples, Curtis uttered, “Forget it. I’ll send you back.”

Recalling the scenes she witnessed in the banquet hall, Rayna grew irate, her voice tinged with a hint of envy. “No, thanks! I wish you and Ms. Sanders a blissful honeymoon!”

“What honeymoon? I can’t walk, so I had her send me to Hallsbay. What were you thinking?” Curtis shot her a look, the expression on his face strange.

Huh?

Mortification swept over Rayna at that instance.

So, he only wanted someone to accompany him because of his limited mobility? It was all because of Kristie’s claim that I misunderstood!

Nonetheless, she stated blasely, “Oh well, I was merely saying that since the two of you are engaged. So, why did you come here?”

Crossing both hands on his lap, Curtis regarded her with a smirk. “Why else, if not because someone did something foolish behind my back? I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I came.”

“I didn’t do anything foolish!” Rayna retorted. No longer in the mood to speak to him, she stalked down the stairs and climbed into the car parked at the entrance.

Meanwhile, Curtis remained on the stairs. “Aren’t you going to help me?”

“Get moving yourself!”

Curtis merely stared at her expressionlessly.

Only when Rayna had finished saying that did she remember that the man was in a wheelchair and couldn’t get moving by himself. Stifling her laughter, she got out of the car and retraced her steps to lend him a hand.

As she scrutinized his physique, she had the urge to try and lift him. “How about I carry you?”

I bet he hasn’t gained any weight since he’s just been sitting in the wheelchair all day.

“I’d like to retain some dignity. If you dare do so, Rayna, you’ll be dead.” Curtis clutched at the armrests, fearful that she would scoop him up. His voice was as cold as ice.

At that, Rayna curled her lips.

After expending much effort, she finally settled the man into the car. She then told the driver to drive them back to Bulgari Hotel. Finding the diamonds on her neck too cumbersome, she wanted to remove the necklace.

Unexpectedly, the clasp was too intricate that she couldn’t unfasten it even after trying for a long while.

Left with no other choice, she could only seek help from Curtis. “Please help me for a bit, Mr. Faymon. I can’t unfasten it.”

Curtis found the yellow diamond necklace exceedingly irritating, so his face was blanketed with a layer of frost when he moved to unclasp it. “How generous of Jefferson to buy this necklace for a hundred million!”

“It wasn’t that he was generous. Instead, you two had nothing better to do and jacked the price up! This necklace is only worth fifty million or so at most, yet both of you just had to bid on it. It’s a blessing if half of the money goes to those who really need it!” Rayna scoffed.

That was a hundred million!

Her heart ached at the mere thought of it.

I could’ve bought a sizeable mansion and reared a cat or a dog with that much money. Yet, Jefferson purchased this necklace, telling me to smash it if I disliked it. Well, I suppose money is just paper in the hands of a wealthy heir!

Curtis’ eyes narrowed into slits, and he pinched the back of her neck with moderate strength. Clapping a hand over her neck, Rayna promptly snapped her head back and glared at him. “Why did you pinch me?”

“My hands slipped while unfastening the necklace. I thought you liked that diamond pendant a lot. Why aren’t you wearing it?” Curtis questioned airily, handing her the yellow diamond necklace.

“Jefferson took it off just now.” While saying that, Rayna rummaged in her bag, presuming that Jefferson placed it there. Alas, she couldn’t find it even after turning everything inside out. “Huh? Why isn’t it here?”

At once, Curtis remembered seeing Jefferson throwing something away earlier. Well, I suppose it was the diamond pendant.

“Forget it if you lost it,” he sneered.

Rayna almost went unhinged. “You’re all insane! That necklace was a customized piece by Van Cleef & Arpels, at the very least! That’s money! I’m going to lose my mind sooner or later to mix with the lot of you so much!”

She had the driver return to the hotel.

Seeing her in such a panic, Curtis felt inexplicably relieved, and his knitted brows relaxed. “You like it that much?”

“I care about the money!”

When the car arrived back at the hotel, Rayna hurriedly climbed out of the car. By the time she made her way to the banquet hall, all the guests had left, and seven to eight janitors were cleaning the place.

Crap!

Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to find the diamond pendant, she went to the manager on duty and explained the situation, asking to check the surveillance footage.
