His Precious Love

Kristie had long since finished the bread and cookies. When she adjourned to the dining room to eat, the fragrant aroma of salmon aglio olio had her salivate. She praised Rayna to the skies.

“Your cooking skills are superb, Rayna! I can finish everything here by myself!”

Even when she helped to take the forks, she rambled incessantly, “The man who ends up marrying you is truly lucky!”

With his face devoid of expression, Curtis shot her a look.

Acting entirely ignorant, Kristie continued clinging to Rayna, talking to her while enjoying the salmon aglio olio. She whined about her craving for cookies and begged the latter to bake more in the afternoon.

Rayna was initially worried that she made too much salmon aglio olio, and they couldn’t finish it. Unexpectedly, Curtis and Kristie’s appetites were great.

Not only did they finish the aglio oglio, but they even polished off the other dishes.

Eyeing Curtis, Rayna deliberately commented, “I thought you don’t fancy my cooking, Mr. Faymon.”

“The salmon aglio olio wouldn’t taste good reheated at night, and I didn’t want to waste it, so I reluctantly finished it. After all, Kristie likes eating freshly prepared food,” Curtis countered calmly.

At once, Kristie protested, “I’ve never said that! Evidently, you were the one—”

Curtis threw her a look.

Sensing a chill running down her spine, Kristie harrumphed but didn’t dare speak further. She shook Rayna’s arm. “Don’t make so many cookies later, Rayna. Just bake enough for me alone!”

Rayna patted her on the head. “Okay. You can have whatever kind you like.”

“Hmph! You’re not having any, Curt!” Kristie stuck out her tongue at Curtis.

Smiling, Curtis shook his head. He unlocked his phone, only to see that Jeremy had called an hour ago, but he missed it since his phone was on silent mode. Going over to the window, he returned the call.

“I’ve found James. He’s fine. His school is sending him on an assignment to Xyperia, and I drove him to the airport an hour ago,” Jeremy reported as soon as the call was connected.

“Got it. You can come back now.”

“I can’t do so for the time being. The new location for the lab has been confirmed, so I’ve got to go there and take a look at things. Oh yes, where did you have the heart transplant surgery, Curtis? Do you mind telling me?”

Perplexed, Curtis went silent.
