His Precious Love

Chapter 743

Chapter 743 Dried Well

Rayna thought Cassidy would return after midnight, but the latter didn't show up even after sunrise.

Yasmin and Yuna had already woken up and were eating their breakfast in the dining room.

After Curtis cleaned up the kitchen and saw Rayna spacing out at the dining room entrance, he remarked, “What are you thinking about? You should eat your breakfast.”

She asked, “Cassidy isn't back yet?”

He responded with a shake of his head.

When Robin exited the courtyard and heard Rayna's question, he said, “I spotted this at the gate earlier.”

She turned around and saw a letter in his hand. After opening the letter, she realized there was an invitation inside.

“It's an invitation from Andrew.” Upon briefly reading through the content, she informed, “It seems like Mr. Zeller has detained Cassidy.”

Yasmin and Yuna exchanged a glance in response to hearing that before lowering their heads wordlessly.

While Curtis noticed their reaction, he didn't say anything. Instead, he briefly read the invitation's

content and was confused by the presence of the word “exhibition” on it.

“Exhibition? What is he exhibiting?” Rayna was similarly confounded. I feel like this may not mean what we think it means.

He speculated, “Maybe it's about skincare products, seeing that Zeller Group recently expanded into the skincare industry.”

Meanwhile, she continued to scrutinize every centimeter of the invitation. The only notable thing about it was that it had gold-tinted edges.

Instead of interrupting her as she studied the invitation like a curious baby, he ushered her into the dining room.

Upon seating at the dining table, she put the invitation at the side and began eating. Yuna's line of sight never left the invitation after Rayna put it down.

Of course, Rayna noticed it, but she didn't point it out.

Yuna left the dining table and “accidentally” splashed some oatmeal on the invitation when she tried to get some.

In response, Rayna raised her eyebrow. Robin, who was standing at the side, promptly wiped the oatmeal on the invitation off with a piece of tissue paper.

Without delay, Yuna apologized, “I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.”

“It's fine.” Rayna wasn't angered, despite knowing the girl had done it on purpose.

After witnessing that scene, Curtis exchanged a glance with Rayna and said, “Let me take a look at the invitation.”

Thus, Robin handed the wet invitation to his employer. When Curtis opened it, he saw the words had blurred and handed it to Rayna.

Rayna looked at it before peering at Yuna and placing it next to her hand.

After finishing her meal, she privately conversed with Curtis in the bedroom. “It would appear Yuna doesn't want us to go.”

“Are we still going?” Standing beside the window, he watched the two children playing in the courtyard.

“Of course.” She picked up the invitation sitting at the coffee table. “What do you think Mr. Zeller's goal is?”

He shifted his line of sight away from the window. “We'll know once we go.”

“Mhm.” Nodding, Rayna suggested, “The invitation says the exhibition is on next Tuesday, so should we still return to Norwal City first as per our plan?”

“It's your call.” In reality, Curtis didn't really want to attend the exhibition.

However, he knew Rayna was still concerned about Cassidy. Thus, he couldn't just ignore it.

“I thought that once we resolve Ashley's matter, other issues here would conclude, too.” Rayna leaned on the couch lazily and raised her eyebrow at Curtis. “Are we going to let Yasmin and Yuna stay here? We don't know when's Cassidy coming back.”

“I'll ask Robin to hire a housekeeper to care for them here. You don't need to worry about them.” As he spoke, he sat next to her and hugged her. “I'm just glad your eyes are back to normal now.”

“Mhm, I want to see my children. How about we video call them now?”

“We shouldn't. Just wait a little longer. After we return home, we'll be able to meet them.” He didn't want to video call the children because he loved them.

She nodded. I bet it's because he doesn't want to expose the children's identities. If someone with ulterior motives catches a glimpse of the children's appearances, they may do something terrible.

Standing in the middle of his bedroom and staring at the empty cage, Robin pulled out the medicinal tablet as Rayna's words repeated in his mind.

After a lengthy contemplation, he left the bedroom.

Upon hearing the roar of an engine, Rayna asked, “Did you ask someone to go out?”

Curtis let her go, stood before the window, and saw Robin's car speeding away. “It's Robin.”

Promptly, she arrived next to him and stared in the same direction as he was. “I'm guessing he's going

to the pet store to meet with that girl. I'll ask James to follow him.”

She grabbed the phone on the coffee table and called James.

After their conversation ended, she hung up the phone and wondered, “Do you think Mr. Zeller has people in Yartran, Curtis?”

“I'll need to check, which won't be easy,” answered Curtis.

Smiling at him, she wrapped her arms around his neck. “I believe you'll pull it off.”

He gently tapped her nose. “I don't have anything going on this afternoon, so if you're feeling restless, feel free to read through the information Theodore and Jeremy sent us. Maybe you'll notice something we didn't, seeing that women are more meticulous than men.”

“No problem.” Standing on her toes, Rayna landed a kiss on his cheek. “Let's work together.”

Hence, she spent the afternoon reading through the information. Meanwhile, Curtis conducted a thorough sweep of the Gilroy residence with his subordinates. They also took samples of the medical herbs kept on the premises, which would be analyzed again when it was time for him to return to Norwal City.

“We discovered a dry well in the courtyard, Mr. Faymon,” a subordinate reported. “There's a pile of stone at the well.”

In response, Curtis tossed the cigarette next to his foot, extinguished it, and uttered, “Take me there.”

The well was concealed by dry leaves, which was why no one had noticed it.

Standing next to the well, he ordered, “Go down there and take photos of what you see.”

His subordinates expeditiously grabbed a rope and lowered one of their own into the well.

It wasn't deep, so it didn't take long for that person to reach the bottom.

While gazing at the light in the well, Curtis commanded, “Send two more people down there.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Thus, two more of his subordinates joined the first one in the well, and they began exploring. After a while, one of them accidentally kicked a wooden board. They removed the board and discovered a door underneath it.

“There's a door here, Mr. Faymon. It seems like a room is hidden underneath the well,” one of them reported to Curtis.

“Smash the door open and check what's inside,” directed Curtis.

Moments later, the people above ground lowered tools into the well to facilitate the exploration.

She grobbed the phone on the coffee toble ond colled Jomes.

After their conversotion ended, she hung up the phone ond wondered, “Do you think Mr. Zeller hos people in Yortron, Curtis?”

“I'll need to check, which won't be eosy,” onswered Curtis.
