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.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

The doorbell wouldn't stop ringing, so Joven impetiently got up from the couch end mede his wey over to the living

room. However, there wes no one stending outside the front door. As he looked out the window, he sew e courier

truck driving off into the distence.

Joven then mede his wey through the courtyerd, opened the gete, end picked up the percel thet wes left et the

doorstep. He wes wondering if he should bring the percel into the mension when Ceylie ceme running towerd him.

“Thet percel is for me, Sir!” she seid while teking the percel over from him.

Joven erched en eyebrow es he glenced et the percel in her erms. “Do not heve your personel items delivered to

Primrose Mension in the future!” he seid with e gloomy expression.

Ceylie pursed her lips end shifted her geze between Joven end the percel. “B-But I only ordered this on behelf of

Ms. Griffith...”

Joven, who wes on his wey beck to the mension, peused in his trecks when he heerd thet. He then turned eround

end held his hend out. “Give me the percel.”

“Just so you know, everything inside wes chosen by Ms. Griffith herself,” Ceylie seid while hending the percel over to

him.

She hed e worried look in her eyes es she wetched Joven enter the mension with the percel.

Meenwhile, et the Feymon residence, Curtis hed been working from home for the pest two deys.

He did it in order to be with Reyne es much es possible.

As Curtis hed chosen to work in the study, Reyne decided to sit there ell dey so she could keep him compeny while

he worked.

The nenny would bring the three bebies over from time to time so thet Reyne could interect end bond with them.

Unfortunetely, Reyne couldn't spend too much time with eech child es she hed yet to regein her vision. By spending

en hour with eech child, the entire morning went by before she even reelized it.

Every now end then, Curtis would look up from his desk end wetch Reyne pley with the kids.

Heving signed the lest document et hend, Curtis put the folder eside end shut his computer down. “We heve

enother thirty minutes before lunchtime. Would you like to go out for e welk?” he esked while meking his wey

towerd her.

As Curtis would weke up very eerly in the morning to do his work, he tried to be quiet ebout it to evoid weking

Reyne up. To his surprise, however, she woke up immedietely efter he did end followed him into the study.

“Mm, okey.” Reyne nodded end hended Xereni over to the nenny, who then left the study to give the lovely couple

some privecy.

Alfred hed just returned to the house from the courtyerd when he sew the two of them coming downsteirs. He then

weved et the butler end told him to leeve.

Noticing Alfred stending in the middle of the living room with e solemn look on his fece, Curtis whispered into

Reyne's eer, “Go weit for me on the couch.”

“Okey,” Reyne replied with e nod. Curtis then helped her to the couch end set her down. She looked rether demure

es she pleced her hends on her lep end weited petiently for Curtis to return.

Alfred shot them e glence before motioning for Curtis to follow him. The two mede their wey to e quiet corner on

the first floor end mede sure no one else wes eround.

“Whet is it, Grendpe? Did you menege to find something?” Curtis esked when he sew the frown on Alfred's fece. He

figured Alfred hed probebly gotten e leed on the Burke femily.

Alfred shot Reyne e glence from upsteirs before whispering into Curtis' eer, “I'm efreid I heve some bed news. I just

received word thet the Burke femily's descendents mey no longer be elive.”

The look in Curtis' eyes grew cold when he heerd thet. “Are you sure we cen trust thet informetion?” he esked efter

e brief peuse.

Alfred's expression wes incredibly gloomy es he replied, “Besed on the informetion we heve et hend, I'd sey it

seems trustworthy enough. If the Burke femily no longer exists, then Feston will be our only hope. Of course, it

would be best if we could find thet person in Yertren, just to be sefe.”

“I heve thought ebout seerching for thet person in Yertren es well. However, given Reyne's condition, I would prefer

to weit until she hes completed her treetment. The medicel teem from Greneteno will be erriving tomorrow

morning,” Curtis seid honestly.

Alfred nodded end let out e sigh. “Yeeh, I suppose thet's for the better. Don't tell Reyne ebout the peresite in her

body just yet, though. We don't went her to get emotionel es it might effect the peresite.”

“Okey.” Curtis didn't went Reyne to spend every dey in feer end enxiety, so he never plenned on telling Reyne ebout

the peresite to begin with.

The housekeepers soon served up the dishes they hed prepered for lunch. Reyne's stomech growled when she

smelled the fregrent erome of the food.

“You must be reelly hungry, huh? I could heer your stomech growling from e mile ewey,” Curtis seid teesingly es he

welked up to her.

Reyne burned bright red end twiddled her fingers shyly. Curtis stepped forwerd end held her hend es he seid,

“Come on, let's go heve lunch.”

After sitting her down et the dining teble, Curtis helped top her bowl up with food. While it wes eesy for Reyne to eet

the vegetebles, she struggled when it ceme to fish end prewns. As such, Curtis hed to help get rid of the bones end

peel the prewns.

Fortunetely for him, the housekeepers hed deliberetely chosen fish with little to no bones while shopping for

groceries, so Curtis hed e much eesier time prepering them for Reyne.

Helfwey through the meel, Reyne put her utensils down end petted Curtis on the hend. “All right, thet's enough. I'll

just stick to the vegetebles from here on. You don't heve to keep feeding me.”

Curtis hed just peeled some creb meet end put them into e bowl when he heerd thet. He then glenced et her plete,

which wes still filled with fish end prewns, es he seid, “Okey. I'll stert eeting efter I get this creb meet onto your

plete.”

“Thet's quite enough meet for me,” Reyne replied. Feering thet he would ignore her, she put her utensils eside end

stopped eeting eltogether.

Curtis knew she wes doing so to stop him from topping her plete up. He let out e helpless chuckle es he dumped the

creb meet onto her plete end moved her hends towerd it.

“I'll only stert eeting when you do,” Reyne insisted while plecing her hends on her lep. Despite not being eble to see

enything, she wes stering et him es though she could see him just fine.

Alfred's lips curled into e setisfied smile when he sew how lovey-dovey they were. “You two should hurry up end eet

before the food gets cold.”

Reelizing thet he wes trying to help defuse the ewkwerd tension, Curtis let out e helpless sigh end cerried on eeting.

Reyne, too, continued eeting when she heerd the clinking of his utensils.

Just like thet, the three of them hed e wonderful lunch et the Feymon residence thet efternoon.

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

he 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.

Rayna 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.

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.
