His Precious Love

Chapter 260 A Gift From Your Father

Rayna told Curtis solemnly, “I would rather die than go bungee-jumping!”

Curtis couldn’t help but chuckle.

After half an hour of waiting, the movie hall was finally ready. There were a few other audiences during this session. Rayna followed Curtis and went through the ticket checker gate. Then, they walked through the corridor and entered the movie hall.

It was dark inside the movie hall as the lights had already been switched off.

Worried that Rayna couldn’t see the path clearly, Curtis wanted to hold her hand and guide the way for her. However, she didn’t let him do so because she felt embarrassed as there was someone else behind them. Just when they arrived at their seats, she tripped and fell into his arms.

Curtis wrapped his arm around her waist to support her while letting out a burst of deep laughter. “Why are you in such a hurry, Ms. Garland?”

“I tripped on something,” Rayna mumbled as she pulled herself away from him frantically. Yet, she accidentally fell back into his arms again. She propped herself up by pushing one hand against his chest, feeling his body heat through his clothes.

“Did you trip this time as well?” Curtis asked.

Rayna was speechless. Fortunately, the lights in the movie hall were all turned off, so her reddened face and ears couldn’t be seen. She let out an awkward cough before getting up to walk to her seat, then began stuffing popcorn in her mouth.

“A Beautiful Life” was a story about the hardships of a father-son duo. The father used his imagination to protect his son from harm. At last, his father still died a gruesome death.

When Rayna was studying abroad a few years ago, she watched this movie with Jefferson when they were in a relationship. At that time, she bawled her eyes out and used up a pack of tissue papers. Jefferson even laughed at her for being such a crybaby.

Now that she was rewatching the same movie after a few years, she still couldn’t get over the scene of the father smiling at his son in the film.

When the lights in the movie hall were switched on again, tears still filled Rayna’s cheeks.

“Movies are manmade. Although it’s deep, you don’t have to cry like a baby,” Curtis couldn’t help but tease her while handing her a napkin. “I wonder if I can fill up a bucket with your tears.”

Rayna lifted her head up abruptly to look at him. She remembered what Jefferson had told her the last time when the movie was over. “These stories are all written by humans. Real wars and racism are way more terrifying than this film. I should’ve brought a bucket to fill it up with your tears.”
