Chapter 644
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
The doorbell wouldn't stop ringing, so Jovan impatiently got up from the couch and made his way over to the living
room. However, there was no one standing outside the front door. As he looked out the window, he saw a courier
truck driving off into the distance.
Jovan then made his way through the courtyard, opened the gate, and picked up the parcel that was left at the
doorstep. He was wondering if he should bring the parcel into the mansion when Caylie came running toward him.
“That parcel is for me, Sir!” she said while taking the parcel over from him.
Jovan arched an eyebrow as he glanced at the parcel in her arms. “Do not have your personal items delivered to
Primrose Mansion in the future!” he said with a gloomy expression.
Caylie pursed her lips and shifted her gaze between Jovan and the parcel. “B-But I only ordered this on behalf of
Ms. Griffith...”
Jovan, who was on his way back to the mansion, paused in his tracks when he heard that. He then turned around
and held his hand out. “Give me the parcel.”
“Just so you know, everything inside was chosen by Ms. Griffith herself,” Caylie said while handing the parcel over to
him.
She had a worried look in her eyes as she watched Jovan enter the mansion with the parcel.
Meanwhile, at the Faymon residence, Curtis had been working from home for the past two days.
He did it in order to be with Rayna as much as possible.
As Curtis had chosen to work in the study, Rayna decided to sit there all day so she could keep him company while
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe worked.
The nanny would bring the three babies over from time to time so that Rayna could interact and bond with them.
Unfortunately, Rayna couldn't spend too much time with each child as she had yet to regain her vision. By spending
an hour with each child, the entire morning went by before she even realized it.
Every now and then, Curtis would look up from his desk and watch Rayna play with the kids.
Having signed the last document at hand, Curtis put the folder aside and shut his computer down. “We have
another thirty minutes before lunchtime. Would you like to go out for a walk?” he asked while making his way
toward her.
As Curtis would wake up very early in the morning to do his work, he tried to be quiet about it to avoid waking
Rayna up. To his surprise, however, she woke up immediately after he did and followed him into the study.
“Mm, okay.” Rayna nodded and handed Xareni over to the nanny, who then left the study to give the lovely couple
some privacy.
Alfred had just returned to the house from the courtyard when he saw the two of them coming downstairs. He then
waved at the butler and told him to leave.
Noticing Alfred standing in the middle of the living room with a solemn look on his face, Curtis whispered into
Rayna's ear, “Go wait for me on the couch.”
“Okay,” Rayna replied with a nod. Curtis then helped her to the couch and sat her down. She looked rather demure
as she placed her hands on her lap and waited patiently for Curtis to return.
Alfred shot them a glance before motioning for Curtis to follow him. The two made their way to a quiet corner on
the first floor and made sure no one else was around.
“What is it, Grandpa? Did you manage to find something?” Curtis asked when he saw the frown on Alfred's face. He
figured Alfred had probably gotten a lead on the Burke family.
Alfred shot Rayna a glance from upstairs before whispering into Curtis' ear, “I'm afraid I have some bad news. I just
received word that the Burke family's descendants may no longer be alive.”
The look in Curtis' eyes grew cold when he heard that. “Are you sure we can trust that information?” he asked after
a brief pause.
Alfred's expression was incredibly gloomy as he replied, “Based on the information we have at hand, I'd say it
seems trustworthy enough. If the Burke family no longer exists, then Feston will be our only hope. Of course, it
would be best if we could find that person in Yartran, just to be safe.”
“I have thought about searching for that person in Yartran as well. However, given Rayna's condition, I would prefer
to wait until she has completed her treatment. The medical team from Granatano will be arriving tomorrow
morning,” Curtis said honestly.
Alfred nodded and let out a sigh. “Yeah, I suppose that's for the better. Don't tell Rayna about the parasite in her
body just yet, though. We don't want her to get emotional as it might affect the parasite.”
“Okay.” Curtis didn't want Rayna to spend every day in fear and anxiety, so he never planned on telling Rayna about
the parasite to begin with.
The housekeepers soon served up the dishes they had prepared for lunch. Rayna's stomach growled when she
smelled the fragrant aroma of the food.
“You must be really hungry, huh? I could hear your stomach growling from a mile away,” Curtis said teasingly as he
walked up to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRayna burned bright red and twiddled her fingers shyly. Curtis stepped forward and held her hand as he said,
“Come on, let's go have lunch.”
After sitting her down at the dining table, Curtis helped top her bowl up with food. While it was easy for Rayna to eat
the vegetables, she struggled when it came to fish and prawns. As such, Curtis had to help get rid of the bones and
peel the prawns.
Fortunately for him, the housekeepers had deliberately chosen fish with little to no bones while shopping for
groceries, so Curtis had a much easier time preparing them for Rayna.
Halfway through the meal, Rayna put her utensils down and patted Curtis on the hand. “All right, that's enough. I'll
just stick to the vegetables from here on. You don't have to keep feeding me.”
Curtis had just peeled some crab meat and put them into a bowl when he heard that. He then glanced at her plate,
which was still filled with fish and prawns, as he said, “Okay. I'll start eating after I get this crab meat onto your
plate.”
“That's quite enough meat for me,” Rayna replied. Fearing that he would ignore her, she put her utensils aside and
stopped eating altogether.
Curtis knew she was doing so to stop him from topping her plate up. He let out a helpless chuckle as he dumped the
crab meat onto her plate and moved her hands toward it.
“I'll only start eating when you do,” Rayna insisted while placing her hands on her lap. Despite not being able to see
anything, she was staring at him as though she could see him just fine.
Alfred's lips curled into a satisfied smile when he saw how lovey-dovey they were. “You two should hurry up and eat
before the food gets cold.”
Realizing that he was trying to help defuse the awkward tension, Curtis let out a helpless sigh and carried on eating.
Rayna, too, continued eating when she heard the clinking of his utensils.
Just like that, the three of them had a wonderful lunch at the Faymon residence that afternoon.
