Dear Sweetheart Chapter 141
Chapter 141 Someone You Love
Rayna had sprained her ankle, so standing still hurt her. The little boy then brought her to a nearby
chair to sit before pulling out a bag of choctes.
“Chocte is high in calories. You’ll have some energy after eating that.”
“Thank you.”
Rayna epted the chocte.
She had a hard time believing that this was a four-year-old boy. He spoke too calmly, and one could
have easily assumed he had the maturity of a teenager.
“My father is a skilled soldier. He’s been posted to the front lines.” When the boy mentioned his father,
his eyes shone brightly with pride. “He loves me very much. He also sends home presents every year.”

“A soldier, you say?” murmured Rayna, trying to ignore the burning questions she had.
Theodore is definitely not a soldier. Otherwise, how could hee back to Chanaea and help Curtis
out? This boy also bears an uncanny resemnce to Theodore. What is up with that? Does Theodore
have other siblings, perhaps?
On top of that, there are people out there who bear uncanny resemnces to others despite not being
rted at all. Wasn’t there a story about a child who resembled some bigwig in his youth? They weren’t
rted either.
After mulling over her thoughts, Rayna patted the boy on his head. “I think you’ll grow to be even better
than your father.”
“Of course! I have to protect Mommy!” replied the boy, nodding vigorously. “I have to work hard and
make her proud of me!”
“Is it just you and your mother at home?”
The little boy nodded. “Yes, but Mommy is busy at work, so I’ve got a housekeeper taking care of me.”
Just as the boy finished speaking, the phone in his bag began to ring.
He immediately pulled it out and answered. He sounded like a very well-behaved boy as he spoke.
“Hello? Mommy? No, the teacher is not here. I decided to train on my own. Yes, I’m wearing a mask. I’ll
send you the location and wait for you to pick me up.”
When the boy answered the phone, Rayna suddenly recalled that she had an appointment herself. She
was runningte as it stood.
Rayna said, “I’ll leave you to wait for your mother. I have other matters to attend to and need to go
now.”
“Why don’t you use my mountain bike?” The boy could tell that Rayna was in a rush, so he took off his
helmet and gave it to her. “On the pedestrian walkways, it’ll be faster if you ride the bike.”
Given that the mountain bike was not a children’s model, Rayna could ride it too.
Rayna also conceded that time was running out and agreed promptly. “Hmm, can I get your contact
details? I’ll take you up on the offer to use your bike and will return it when I’m done.”
“Sure.”
After they exchanged phone numbers, Rayna was about to wheel the bike away when the little boy
thrust his helmet at her.
“You need to wear a helmet.”
“There’s no need for one. Besides, that will not fit me.”
“Why don’t you try it on?”
The helmet looked small, and Rayna wanted to try it on to appease him. However, she was quite
surprised that the helmet fit after all, albeit being a little tight.
Is my head actually that small?
The little boy grinned at her and said, “I told you! It does fit! I think you should be on your way, then!”
“We’ll keep in touch!”
Rayna was in quite a hurry, so she sped off on the mountain bike after bidding him goodbye.
The little boy waved at her disappearing figure before putting on his mask to wait for his mother.
Not too long after, a silver sedan came to a stop where he sat.
The doors were opened, and a woman d in a beige suit sauntered over to where the little boy sat.
She picked him up with a gentle smile and said, “Have you been waiting long, Carl?”
“Mommy!”
Carl pulled down his mask, intending to kiss her on her cheek.
However, Jasmine shook her head. Her gaze also seemed quite stern. Carl was a little disappointed,
but he quietly allowed himself to be carried into the car.
Inside, Jasmine took out a towel and wiped Carl’s head dry. “Carl, if the teacher isn’t around, you can
just y at home,” she said tersely. “It’s dangerous to go outside when it’s raining.”
“It wasn’t raining when I was out,” said Carl petntly. “Besides, you said I couldn’t fall behind in my
studies!”
“Well, things happen ording to circumstances,” replied Jasmine. “I know you’re a smart and
independent boy, but the outside world is not an easy ce to be. I’ll forgive you this once, but please
don’t do this again. Do you understand?”
Carl merely grunted in response.
“I’m not busy today, so I can keep youpany at home.” Jasmine could tell that Carl was upset, so
she lifted him onto herp and kissed him on the cheek. “When we get home, I’ll make you some
croissants. How does that sound?”
Carl was not quite cated by this. He looked at Jasmine and asked dully, “Mommy, am I unfit to meet
people? Why can’t I go outside or to kindergarten?”
Jasmine kissed him on the hand and gently replied, “That’s not true! You’re Mommy and Daddy’s most
precious treasure. However, your father’s status is quite special. If you were spotted by bad people, it
could be dangerous. Besides, our little Carl is such a smart boy that he doesn’t need kindergarten.
When I’m done here, we can go to Saintnam together. I think you’ll love it there.”
“Are you going to spend time with me?” asked Carl.
“I’m afraid not. I have to work,” said Jasmine, shaking her head. She did not want to lie to Carl.
“Then I won’t go!” huffed Carl in annoyance. “You keep telling me that if I study hard, Daddy wille
back. But I’m already four years old! I’ve never seen him once!”
“Your father is at the front lines…”
“Don’t they get vacations? We have so many festivals! Even if he doesn’t get a long vacation, surely he
needs some kind of time off? Daddy has nevere back to visit!”
Jasmine fell silent.
She had never imagined how smart Carl could be.
