Dear Sweetheart Chapter 150
Chapter 150 A Wife
“In that case, your mommy is being too harsh on you.” Rayna frowned. “Having fun is the most
important thing for kids your age. It’ll never be toote to learn those things when you’re older.”
Carl shook his head. “My mommy says I should start young because I can learn faster. I don’t find the
sessions tiring. I just hope that I’ll be stronger than my daddy in the future. That way, I can see him
more often.”
“Is your daddy a very busy man?”
“Yes. He doesn’t get many holidays.” Carl jerked his chin up slightly and said gleefully, “However, my
mommy said he’d being back during the holidays. I get to celebrate the holidays with Mommy and
Daddy this year!”
“That’s great.” Rayna smiled and stroked his head lovingly.
She knew being a soldier was tough because they had little time off.
Although Rayna had only met a handful of kids before, she found it rxing to chat with Carl. In fact,
she thought he was obedient, intelligent, and knowledgeable. Therefore, they had a pleasant chat over
lunch.
Suddenly, Rayna’s phone started ringing, so she said to Carl, “I’m sorry, but I need to take this call.”
The moment she whipped out her phone, she saw that it was a call from an unknown number.
Bewildered, she answered the phone and asked, “Hello. Who is this?”
“Where are you now, Ms. Gand?”
“Is that you, Mr. Xavier?” The monotonous tone was the only hint she needed to figure out who was on
the other end of the line. “I’m having lunch outside. How may I help you?”
“Where are you having lunch?”
Huh? Rayna froze momentarily before replying carefully, “Perhaps you can send me a location, and I’ll
go—”
“Address,” the man interrupted.
She dared not imagine how Theodore would react if she were to say no to him. Frightened, she had no
choice but to give him the restaurant’s address.
Carl looked at her and asked curiously, “Ms. Rayna, is that man a fierce man?”
“Very. I wish I could stay as far away from him as possible.” The thought of Theodore sent shivers
down Rayna’s spine. Out of all of Curtis’ friends, Jeremy and Wyatt are the friendliest. Theodore is so
grim that I bet everyone would avoid him.

“Did you give him the address because he’sing over, Ms. Rayna?” Carl asked before sitting
straight. “Don’t be scared, Ms. Rayna. I’ll protect you. If he dares to be harsh to you, I’ll beat him up!”
“You’re so adorable!” His deration warmed Rayna’s heart, and she could not help but pinch his
cheeks. Jessica’s right! His cheeks are soft and bouncy!
However, a thought crossed her mind btedly when she saw Carl’s dark eyes. This boy is the spitting
image of Theodore. Wouldn’t they see each other when Theodorees overter? I don’t think
Theodore is rted to Carl, but what if Carl is rted to his rtives? Will I cause any trouble?
Carl noticed Rayna was staring at him in silence, so he asked, “What’s the matter, Ms. Rayna?”
“I’m fine.” Rayna quickly stood up and put on his mask for him. “That man is vicious, so I think you
should wait for me in the car. Once I’m done, I’ll send you back.”
Just as she was about to bring him out of the restaurant, they bumped into Theodore. As usual, the
man wore a ck shirt and a pair of cks. His expressionless countenance seemed so murderous,
frightening the female staff so much that their knees went weak.
Theodore’s gazended on Rayna. Withrge strides, he walked up to her. “Ms. Gand, are you
leaving?”
“Yes. This boy is done eating, so I wanted to send him home first.” Rayna chuckled awkwardly and
stood before Carl so that Theodore would not see him. “Mr. Xavier, please have a seat and wait for
me.”
“I only have a few words to say. It’ll be quick.” Theodore jerked his chin in the direction of a table
behind, gesturing for her to sit back down.
With that, Rayna could not leave even if she wanted to. Left with no choice, she steeled herself and
returned to the table. She then sat Carl on the inner seat and lowered his cap to hide his face. “Wait for
me, okay?”
The boy obediently hummed in response.
When the waiter served them sses of iced water, Rayna immediately pushed one over to Theodore
and asked, “Mr. Xavier, to what do I owe the pleasure?”
“You like Curtis.”
The certainty in his forthright statement stunned her for a moment. When she regained her senses, she
replied in an awkward tone, “Mr. Xavier, you’re overthinking. I only see Mr. Faymon as my boss.”
“Drop the act, Ms. Gand. Your eyes are betraying you,” Theodore replied indifferently. “Besides, I’ve
never seen any other women taking a hit for a man they only see as their boss.”
Rayna felt as though all her secrets wereid bare before him. At that moment, she was embarrassed,
and her heart was racing wildly. Are my eyes so easy to read?
Still expressionless, Theodore uttered, “You know Curtis is engaged, don’t you, Ms. Gand? Sooner
orter, he’s going to get married. I suggest you keep your feelings to yourself because nothing will
happen between you and him.”
“Mr. Xavier, are you afraid that I might destroy Mr. Faymon’s rtionship with Ms. Sanders?” Rayna’s
heart sank, but she shed him a faint smile before adding, “Is that why you want to see me? To
persuade me to leave Faymon Group?”
Instead of speaking, he gave her a document.
Rayna opened it up, and her eyes widened at the contents on thest page of the document. Upon
shifting her gaze toward Theodore, she asked, “Are you joking with me, Mr. Xavier?”
“If you think it’s insufficient, feel free to add on whatever it is that you want.”
“This isn’t about what I want!” She felt as though she was losing her mind. “Are you asking me to marry
you, Mr. Xavier?”
Rayna then closed the document and remained silent for a while. “Yes. I admit I may have fallen for Mr.
Faymon, but I never intend to destroy his rtionship with Ms. Sanders. Mr. Xavier, marriage is an
important matter in one’s life. It’s not a transaction.”
Pushing the document back toward Theodore, she uttered in a slightly mocking tone, “You don’t have
to marry me to keep me away. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll hand over all my tasks to you and work
at one of the branch offices.”
Theodore stared at her for a few seconds, then said coldly, “Tell me your preference in men, and I can
find you one to marry.”
“Do you have a wife?”
Before Rayna could utter a word in response, Carl, who was sitting next to her, stood up and asked
Theodore that question.
Theodore shot Carl a sharp look, but thetter did not flinch at all. Instead, the boy’s dark eyes under
the cap’s visor bored into his, which stunned the man. That is a pair of beautiful eyes.
Displeased with Theodore’sck of response, Carl repeated, “Do you have a wife?”
“No,” Theodore answered, going along with the boy. However, he soon found it unnecessary to talk to a
child, so he frowned and shifted his gaze back toward Rayna. “Ms. Gand, please answer my
question.”
Carl seemed utterly disappointed when he sat down once again.
Meanwhile, Rayna suppressed her anger and forced a smile with her teeth clenched. “Don’t worry
about me, Mr. Xavier. I’ll keep the matter to myself. I swear.”
“In that case, I think you should just marry me.” Theodore pushed the document back toward her and
demanded, “Sign it.”
Rayna was rendered speechless. You’re crazy!
Once she had calmed herself down, she pursed her lips and said, “This seriously will not be necessary,
Mr. Xavier. I know Mr. Faymon’s not the sole motivation behind your action. You’re also doing this for
Ms. Sanders.”
Theodore’s expression changed, and his gaze quickly darkened.
Seeing that, Rayna felt a chill down her spine and braced herself to finish the sentence. “Frankly, you’re
worrying over nothing, Mr. Xavier. Mr. Faymon won’t know how I feel, so I won’t stand in—”
“Ms. Gand,” he interrupted grimly, “have you forgotten about what happened at the club?”
She was stunned by his words.
