Dear Sweetheart novel

Chapter 692 Cats And Dogs

After Curtis deposited his clothes into the wardrobe, he set the two suitcases in the corner.

On the bed, the animals were playing with each other. When he turned around, he saw them occasionally stepping

onto Rayna's legs and frowned slightly. “I'm going to send them over to Robin's place tonight.”

The moment he finished speaking, Robin's resigned voice was heard behind him. “Please don't, Mr. Faymon. I'm

afraid of them.”

“Afraid?” Curtis lifted his eyebrow. “Aren't you ashamed of being scared of these small animals?”

Before Robin could speak another word, he received a warning look from Curtis and zipped his mouth. Then he

handed the agreement he drew up to Curtis. Upon accepting the agreement, Curtis commanded, “Go and check if

there are any restaurants around.”

“Are we eating out?” Rayna inquired.

“There is no chef here.” Casually, Curtis put the agreement into the drawer of the bedside table. I doubt Cassidy's a

good cook.

Then he turned to Robin. “Also, check if there are any local chefs we can hire to prepare meals for us during our

stay here. I want someone who can cook well.”

“Okay, I'll do it right now,” Robin responded before leaving.

Rayna, Curtis, and the two animals were left in the room.

“I thought you would say you've already asked someone to find them.” Rayna grinned.

As Curtis approached the bed, he stared at the animals. “How about we send them to Robin's room now?”

“Later.” In response, she also glimpsed at one of them and caressed the animal's fur. “I don't think it has recovered

yet. Shouldn't we bring it to the pet hospital?”

She still hadn't forgotten about Fluffy's high body temperature.

Nonchalantly, he peered at the creatures and said, “There's no need to rush. It's not that hot anymore, probably

because of its ability to self-regulate its temperature.”

Rayna touched Fluffy's wet nose; it was similar to the nose of cats and dogs. “I guess so. I heard from others in the

past that if the cat's or dog's nose is wet, it means it's healthy.”

Out of nowhere, she recalled she hadn't given the two animals actual names yet, only placeholder names. “How

about we give the two of them proper names?” I can't just keep calling them Fluffy and Furry. Those names don't

sound nice.

Upon hearing that, Curtis frowned and swept his gaze past the furry creatures.

When she raised her head, she saw him gazing at them, but only vaguely due to her poor eyesight. Thus, she

wasn't sure how he was feeling at the moment.

“What's the matter? You don't want to?” She pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction with Curtis.

Staring at Rayna seriously, Curtis questioned, “Are you really ready to keep them?”

“I don't know what species they are, but I don't think it's a problem if we keep them since they're so small. I bet it

won't cost much to feed them.” She loved furry creatures like the two in front of her. Ever since she was young, she

had always wanted her own pet. However, her circumstances kept preventing her from doing so.

Therefore, she wasn't going to pass up the opportunity, especially when the animals she wanted to adopt belonged

to a rare species.

“If you want pets, I can buy a cat or a dog for you after returning to UImrich.” Curtis tried to dissuade her from

adopting those animals because, from his perspective, those two creatures were just wild animals.

He would much rather she adopt animals that were specifically bred to be pets.

Additionally, he was concerned about the babies. If they took in those two wild animals and an accident happened,

it wouldn't make anyone happy.

Of course, Rayna understood what Curtis meant and what he was worried about. After contemplating her decision,

she suggested, “We'll keep them for now. Once we return to UImrich, we can talk about what happens next. We'll

come up with some other way to handle this matter if things don't work out in the end.”

Seeing that she had capitulated, he replied, “As you wish, then.”

He didn't want to put her in a bad mood over that matter because he was afraid it would affect her health,

especially when her eyesight hadn't recovered yet. “As for names, I'll ask Robin to find out if there are any species

similar to these two first. I think it's better if we name them properly after that.”

“Sounds good to me. I guess we'll give them amazing names a little later.” As Rayna spoke, she rubbed Fluffy's chin

and teased it.

During the night, the calm skies suddenly turned stormy as lightning crackled.

When the two creatures heard the thunderclaps, they were so frightened that they hid in a corner. Rayna stepped

away from the bed and stood in front of the window. Narrowing her eyes at the sky, she saw dark clouds. As she

breathed, she could sense the dreariness in the air. “It seems like it's about to rain again soon.”

It was at that moment Curtis entered the room with a water bottle. In response to seeing her standing in front of

the window, he advised, “Don't stand there. The wind's pretty strong right now. You'll catch a cold.”

While speaking, he closed the windows slightly.

“Is there someone cooking in the kitchen right now?” She could smell the fragrance of food at the window.

“Mhm. Robin couldn't find any restaurants nearby, so I asked him to hire a skilled local cook. After he negotiated the

cook's pay, he brought her here,” Curtis informed while he removed two small bowls from a bag and poured some

cat food into one of them.

Upon seeing the cat food in his hand, Rayna inquired, “I thought there weren't any pet shops nearby?”

“Robin drove over a dozen kilometers to buy them at the city center.” After he set the food bowl down near where

the animals were, he placed the other bowl on the ground and filled it with water.

Furry raised its nose and caught the scent of food in the air. Upon glancing at the humans, it timidly approached the

food bowl.

Rayna noticed the two creatures kept sniffing. Clearly, they smelled something that grabbed their attention. Thus,

she asked curiously, “What cat food did Robin buy for them? Is there meat inside?”

Without delay, Curtis lifted the bag of cat food and read its description. “There are freeze-dried quail meat and

eggs inside.”

That sounds like quality cat food. She smiled. “Robin's such a thoughtful guy.”

“He keeps a dog and a cat in his house,” he explained. “I bet he spends half his salary on pet food alone.”

That elicited a chuckle from her. “Why do you sound like you're worried about his money?”

In response, he knitted his eyebrows a little. “I'm not. However, whenever his mother bumped into me, she would

complain about how he couldn't find a suitable girlfriend and would ask me to introduce a girl to him.”

“Wow, I can't believe she requested her son's boss to find a partner for her son. I must say, she's quite amusing.” At

that point, Rayna was very invested in the story. “What happened next?”

“I asked the secretarial department to introduce someone to him. However, because the woman they found didn't

like cats or dogs and even asked Robin to give away his pets, he just left halfway through his date. He didn't even

pay for his coffee!” Curtis continued the story in the bathroom as he wanted to wash his hands. “I unintentionally

overheard the story when the employees in the secretarial department were chatting about it.”
