Dear Sweetheart Chapter 149
Chapter 149 An Unfortunate Child
A long while after Theodore left, Jeremy was the first person to break the silence in the room by
laughing. “Throughout the many years we’ve known each other, this is my second time seeing
Theodore lose hisposure. It’s too obvious this time around.”
“Where did he lose hisposure the first time around?” Curtis asked.
“At the hospital,” Jeremy answered. “Back then, Jasmine went to pay you a visit at the hospital, where
she bumped into Theodore. Although Theodore kept a straight face, Jasmine was flustered. Right
away, I knew there was something going on between them.”
“So, this is what you didn’t want to talk about in the hospital?” Wyatt finally caught on. “D*mn! Couldn’t
you just tell me? I felt so miserable for a few days after that!”
“That’s just because you’re stupid. However, you’re rather smart enough to know to y along this time
around,” Jeremy quipped.
“What? y along with what?” Wyatt was confused.
Upon hearing that, Jeremy held his forehead and uttered, “I’ve overestimated your intelligence. My
bad.”
“Oh! Are you talking about Jasmine’s background?” It took Wyatt a long while to understand what
Jeremy was implying. “F*ck! I thought you were interested in Jasmine. Who knew you were actually
saying that to have Theodore hear it? Why must researchers like you oveplicate things? Doesn’t
your head ever hurt from it?”
“Didn’t I say you’re stupid?” Jeremy countered. “If you don’t believe me, ask Curtis.”
With that, Wyatt tilted his head to look at Curtis.
Yet, thetter ignored him utterly and voiced in resignation, “I didn’t know Theodore and Jasmine had a
past. If I had known, I wouldn’t have coborated with her.”
“No. What you’re doing is actually good, Curtis.” Jeremy chuckled. “You’ve also seen how much
Theodore distances himself from women, and I reckon it’s because Jasmine hurt him. Based on the
tattoo on his finger, I’m certain he still can’t forget about her. Let’s make use of this opportunity to see
how long he can keep this up.”
Curtis thought about it for a while before agreeing to Jeremy’s n with a soft grunt.
“How dare you guysin about me toying with women? From what I see, you guys are worse than
me!” Wyatt grumbled disdainfully. “Especially when ites to you, Curtis. How could you use the car
crash to trick Ms. Gand into being at your beck and call?”
Curtis’ face darkened instantly. The next second, the cup in his grip shattered, and some coffee spilled
onto hisp. That gave the other two men in the room a huge fright.
Startled, Wyatt asked in a quavering voice, “W-What the f*ck? Are the custom-made sses and cups
I bought so brittle?”
“I don’t need you to contact Mr. Snyder anymore. Jeremy will do it,” Curtis said tly as he wiped the
coffee off his pants. “I want you to go over to Yeringham to get something else done for me.”
“I’m sorry, Curtis—”
Curtis interrupted Wyatt by shooting him a look. In a cold tone, he ordered, “Shut up. Get on a ne
and leave tonight.”
Tears streamed down Wyatt’s face. This is so f*cking unfair! Curtis didn’t even say anything, no matter
how blunt Jeremy was toward him in the hospital. Why am I getting sent away just because of a
sentence I said? Finally, I get it now. I’m just an unfortunate child that no one loves!
Although an upsetting matter happened at the club the other day, Rayna did not take it to heart. After
all, Curtis was there to back her up, and he had already taught Jason and the rest a lesson.
Not only did Steven send her an email to apologize, but he also made an appointment with Owen on
her behalf.
Rayna had Naomi draw up a contract. Just as she was about to show up for the appointment, Jeremy
phoned her to tell her that he wanted to see her. It was after they met did she realize Jasper was there
as well.
A few exchangester, Rayna discovered it was Curtis’ idea to invite Jasper to discuss a coboration.
Apparently, he wanted her to resell the original issue shares that she had bought for Owen to Jasper.
Jasper was a young and capable man. In terms of business strategies, he could be as good as Curtis.
However, he was harder to deal withpared to thetter. In exchange for his service, he would
request very high returns.
Knowing what kind of man Jasper was, Rayna went to the restroom to call Curtis before the contract
was signed.
“Why have you changed your mind again, Mr. Faymon?” she asked. “Mr. Steven has already made an
appointment with Mr. Owen on my behalf. In terms of coboration, I think Mr. Owen is a better
partner.”
“He’s an arrogant fool,” Curtis replied tly. “Everyone knows you’re now the CEO of Faymon Group.
He disrespected me when he annulled the contract with you. I don’t need a business partner like him.”
Despite his words, she knew full well that he was only unwilling to work with Owen because she was
bullied. That flushed her cheeks a little while her heart raced.
“However, Mr. Snyder is an acquisitive man. If he bes Faymon Group’s shareholder, it’ll only be
detrimental to the corporation,” Rayna uttered.
“All he wants is some extra money. Just give it to him.” Curtis paused for a while before letting out a
soft chuckle. “What’s wrong? Are you worried that I would be bested by him, Ms. Gand?”
Her ears were burning up because it was as if she could feel his breaths on her ears.
“No. I was merely asking. I’ll hang up now, Mr. Faymon.” With that, Rayna ended the call right away.
When she saw the blush on her face in the mirror, she patted her cheeks. I shouldn’t have said so
much!
After signing the contract and sending Jasper off, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Rayna knew Sienna and Chester bought a lot of the original issue shares from the other shareholders.
Nevertheless, she had not been idle either, having the original issue shares from the other
shareholders in her possession.
Besides, ording to Curtis’ instructions, she secretly found someone to sell off those shares. Some of
the money was transferred into Faymon Group’s bank ount, and the rest was kept in a hidden
ount.
The next step of the n would depend on Curtis.
“Hey, Ms. Gand.” Jeremy approached Rayna with his suit jacket slung over his arm. “Thank you for
your hard work today. I would like to buy you lunch if you have the time.”
She hurriedly smiled at him and replied, “You’re too kind, Mr. York. Without you, I wouldn’t have been
able to meet Mr. Snyder. I should buy you lunch instead.”
“Don’t mind if I do!” he said.
Rayna drove to the appointment that day. Just as she was about to bring Jeremy to a restaurant, she
received a WhatsApp text from the little boy.
Only then did she remember that the mountain bike in the trunk had not been returned yet.
Rayna replied to the text. Upon learning that the little boy coincidentally had an outdoor training session
on the same day, she said to Jeremy apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mr. York. I’m afraid that I can’t treat you
to a meal today. I need to return someone his mountain bike.”
“It’s all right. We can go out for a meal next time,” he answered.
Out of guilt, she insisted on sending him home before going to the agreed-upon meeting point—a
restaurant.
Once she arrived at the restaurant, she found a table next to the window.
A few minutester, the doors to the restaurant were pulled open, and in came a small figure. The boy
looked around the surroundings and hurried over to Rayna’s table when he spotted her.
Carl pulled down his mask and greeted, “Hi, have you waited for a long time?”
“No. I only arrived a couple of minutes ago.” Rayna shed him a smile. After he had taken a seat, she
passed him the menu and voiced, “You’ve done me a great favor. Please let me buy you lunch, okay?”
“Thank you, then.” Carl skipped the ceremony and proceeded to order the dishes he liked.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
Rayna watched the waiter leave before saying, “You’ve helped me twice, but I still don’t know your
name. I’m truly sorry for that. My name is Rayna Gand. You can call me Ms. Gand.”
“It’s all right. I’ll call you Ms. Rayna. It sounds better to me,” Carl responded.
The boy was so sweet that her heart was instantly filled with delight from his words. He’s such an
endearing boy!
In the midst of their chat, she finally found out that the boy’s name was Carl Sanders.
“You’re still so young. Why do you have to train outdoors every week?” Rayna was shocked to hear
that from him. “The kids your age are in kindergarten.”
Disappointment shed across Carl’s eyes, but he quickly beamed and said, “My mommy says I’m
smart, so I don’t have to attend kindergarten. Besides, my teacher customized the outdoor training
sessions for me to improve my stamina. It’s not tiring.”
