Chapter 275 Curtis Had Tricked Her

Rayna tried to shove Lucky aside with her leg. “Go play on your own.”

It walked back to her.

“Play on your own, all right? I will play with you after I have made breakfast. Don’t step on my leg, you fat dog.”

Rayna tried to shoo it away a few more times, but she finally stopped after realizing that her efforts were in vain. As she took out the groceries, she could see its chubby body occasionally when she looked down.

She sighed. “It’s obvious that you are well-fed when you are with Mr. Faymon. Just look at you. You’ve grown faster than my cat.”

Lucky twitched its nose all of a sudden and went out of the kitchen abruptly.

Thinking that it was hungry and wanted to eat its food, Rayna ignored its sudden departure and concentrated on making breakfast. As her back was to the door, she did not know that Lucky had gone outside to meet Curtis, who was walking down from the second floor.

As always, he still disliked pets. However, he had Lucky for a long time and he was already used to it biting his slippers. With a cold expression on his face, he walked to the bar to make coffee. It was then he realized that there were a lot of extra things in the house.

He noticed that there was a pair of a woman’s leather shoes near the entrance and a person inside the kitchen.

Curtis cocked his brow and walked toward the kitchen. When he opened the door, he saw Rayna, who was busy making breakfast. A pleasant aroma filled the air.

The sight of a busy woman and an aroma permeating the kitchen had inexplicably added a warm touch to the mansion.

Leaning against the door lightly, Curtis did not say a word and merely looked at her in amusement. As she prepared the meal, she muttered to herself, “How should I wake him up later? Honey, I made you breakfast. Let’s wake up and eat. No! I feel disgusted just saying it. What if I say that Mr. Xavier forced me? I can go with ‘Mr. Faymon, don’t be angry. I can make you breakfast for a month.’ But that won’t do. It’s too tiring to wake up early for the entire month. Ugh, I blame Mr. Xavier for it. I’m not the only one who is close to Mr. Faymon. Why did he find me? I hope Theodore goes bankrupt soon!”

Curtis chuckled. Then, he drawled, “You will have to pray many times. Theodore has a lot of companies. He earns more money than Faymon Group. It will need quite some time to make him go bankrupt.”

Rayna was started. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com She turned around and saw Curtis leaning languidly against the wall. With an awkward laugh, she said, “Y-You’re up, Mr. Faymon?”

Having forgotten that she was preparing breakfast, she touched her forehead guiltily. Pasta sauce was stuck on her forehead. When Curtis saw it, he could not stop himself from laughing.

Rayna’s lips twitched.

He must be disorientated because he just woke up. Otherwise, why would he be acting like a fool?

“There’s sauce on your face, Ms. Garland.” Curtis grabbed two tissues and helped her wipe the sauce on her forehead, bringing them closer to each other.

“T-Thank you.” Rayna leaned back, wanting to avoid him. However, the more she leaned back, the more he moved toward her. He placed his hands on the kitchen island and confined her in his arms. “Ms. Garland, what do you think is the reason for my anger?”

As she took in his stern expression, she felt an inexplicable feeling of anxiety. “I-I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Curtis moved closer. “After listening to you mumbling just now, I thought you were here to cook me a meal so that I can be happy and forget about the matter.”

It’s over. He heard everything.

Rayna gave a guilty smile and said, “Mr. Xavier really did force me to sign the agreement. I’m here because I love cooking. I want to make something for you, Mr. Faymon.”

“I don’t believe it.”

“Huh?”

“I think you signed the agreement deliberately because it has something to do with me.”

“I can swear on it!”

“Even if you swear on it, you may be saying in your heart that the oath is not valid.”

Rayna’s expression grew awkward. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He can even guess that? This is too much!

Curtis said slowly, “You can still make me believe. Give it a try with me.”

“Give what a try?” she asked.

“Be my girlfriend.” Curtis stroked her cheek endearingly. “If you can make me feel your sincerity, I will believe that Theodore forced you to sign the agreement.”

Rayna was rendered speechless. She lowered her head in contemplation, looking as if she wanted to find the flaw in his words.

Seeing that, Curtis continued to coax her, “I promise I won’t go to look for you when we’re in the office. I won’t let anyone else know about our relationship unless you want to make it public. Am I not an excellent boyfriend? I’m tall, handsome, and rich. You don’t have to find a teacher if you want to learn something. Just ask me about it. If you want to eat, I can cook for you.”

“The food you cook is inedible!”

“I can take care of you.” After some deliberation, he said reluctantly, “And your cat.”

“I can take care of it on my own.”

“Rayna, think about it carefully. I’m filthy rich. Don’t you want me? If I’m yours, you don’t have to worry about your life. I heard that it’ll be fun to travel to Jeradus in two months’ time. Don’t you want to travel with your mother? I own a lot of planes.”

Rayna’s heart wavered. “Can we go to see penguins?”

“Sure. You can even raise one if you want to.”

“Let me think about it.” She bit her lip. “I keep having the feeling that something is amiss.”

A cunning gleam flashed across Curtis’ eyes. Nonchalantly, he said, “The band that you like, SF Band, is going to hold a concert in Coldbridge next month. We can take my plane and fly there. We can watch the concert from the front-row seats. After the concert ends, we can go backstage to chat with the members of the band. We can even ask them for autographs and have dinner with them.”

Rayna grew excited.

SF Band! And I can eat with them!

Seeing that she had finally taken the bait, Curtis gave a small smile. “As long as you become Mrs. Faymon, you don’t have to do anything at all. The celebrities will come to you to chat and have a meal with you. They will even give you autographed pictures.”

“Okay!”

Curtis asked her again, “So you really agree?”

“Yes!” Rayna nodded.

A shrewd smile appeared on his face. He kissed her on the cheek and said, “Let me go upstairs to change my clothes first, Mrs. Faymon. I look forward to your breakfast.”

Rayna only came back to her senses after he walked out of the kitchen. She was dumbstruck.

What did he call me just now? Mrs. Faymon?

Her heart beat wildly. She tried hard to recompose herself. After giving it some thought, she finally realized that he had tricked her.

He asked me to be his girlfriend at first. When I was distracted, he changed it and called me “Mrs. Faymon.” Others would be given a huge and sparkling engagement ring when they were proposed to. There would be roses as well. But this man is too clueless. Did he think that a verbal proposal is enough? Wait, this is wrong!

Rayna slapped herself hard. She chided, “This is not the right time to be worried about the marriage proposal. If I become his girlfriend, we can break up the moment we fight with each other. But after I

become his fiancée, it will be much harder to break up.”

Finally, she calmed down. I need to take care of myself. I must stay away from Uncle Curtis!

Rayna was melancholic after knowing that Curtis had tricked her.

When she arrived in the office, someone lunged at her from behind. She nearly fell to the ground. “Nana, you’re here early today. Did you make a heartwarming breakfast for Mr. Faymon again?”

“I’m frustrated.” Rayna wanted to ignore the woman.

Jessica slid down Rayna’s back and turned to hug her. She looked happy when she saw Rayna’s contorted face. “Just look at your face, Nana. You look miserable…”

Rayna gave her a death stare, and she quickly corrected herself, “I mean, you don’t look so good. Did Mr. Faymon bully you?”

“That’s not all!” Rayna answered through gritted teeth.
