Dear Sweetheart Chapter 166
Chapter 166 Not A Beast
Rayna stared at her phone with a confused look on her face.
What is it? Why is he acting all mysterious?
Noticing Rayna’s absent-mindedness, Curtis asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, just some spam messages.” She put her phone back into her pocket and continued to
push him forward. “There are many people by theke. Let’s go there.”
After arriving at the artificialke, Rayna saw more than ten middle-ageddies dancing in the same
traditional clothing. They were wearing waist drums while they beat and danced to them. The scene
looked very festive.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Rayna wheeled Curtis as she looked for a ce to sit. Then, she took out an orange and started
peeling it.
“Thesedies are so energetic. I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to dance at their age.” As she spoke, she
put a piece of orange into Curtis’ mouth. “Have more oranges. It’s good for your health.”
Curtis gave her a nce.
The middle-ageddies danced for a long time. Although drenched in sweat, the smiles on their faces
remained unchanged. After that, they rehydrated themselves and took a rest.
One of them saw Rayna and Curtis and waved. “Youngdy,e and have some fun!”
“It’s fine!” Rayna waved her hand dismissively and smiled, “You enjoy yourselves.”
“Don’t be shy;e join us!” Thedy came and pulled Rayna with her as she said, “This is a simple
dance. You can lose some calories, and it will lift your mood.”
Huh? I’m in a good mood. Why do I have to lift it?
A confused Rayna was then pulled into the center of the flower bed by the middle-ageddy and had a
little waist drum tied around her. When the music started, she began clumsily dancing while watching
the olddies.
The dance was simple. She just had to move her feet and twist her hips. The main point was to hit the
waist drum following the rhythm.
Rayna’s movements were rather uncoordinated for a while before she grasped the rhythm. After that,
she found it fun and let loose. Meanwhile, Curtis watched her quietly in the shade.
Curtis had never seen this kind of dance before and couldn’t helpughing when he saw Rayna’s
exaggerated movements.
This woman is adorable at times.
The music changed after they danced for a while. The middle-ageddies sang along enthusiastically
to a folk song, twisting their hips. It so happened that Rayna also knew the song, so she sang along.
Rayna coincidentally met Curtis’ gaze while dancing and saw him staring and smiling at her.
Immediately, she turned around and blushed.
I’m doomed. My dancing must look utterlyical.
After barely finishing the second half of the dance, Rayna was covered in sweat. Then, she returned
the waist drum to the middle-ageddy.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. As long as you’re happy.” The olddy gave her a nudge. “Your husband looked
happy watching you dance. His gaze was on you the entire time. You two are still young, my dear. The
most important thing is to live happily. Life will always get better.”
Rayna knew thedy was saying that to her because she had noticed Curtis in a wheelchair. Thus, she
nodded and went back to Curtis.
Curtis handed her some tissues. “You danced quite well.”
“Ahem! Thanks.” Rayna cleared her throat. She knew that she must have looked funny just now. It took
a few seconds for her to realize something, and she leveled a confused look at the man.
Something doesn’t feel right.
She asked, “Mr. Faymon?”
Looking at her, Curtis arched his brow. “Yes?”
“It’s nothing.” Rayna felt deeply embarrassed now that she knew Curtis had sobered up. It didn’t help
that she had danced in front of him earlier.
Wanting to avoid Curtis, she saw an ice cream cart in the distance and ran off in a hurry.
As Curtis watched her retreating figure, he was bewildered. “Am I a beast?”
Why did she run off?
“Hi, do you sell mineral water here?” Rayna asked after arriving at the cart.
“Yes.”
The ice cream was too cold, so Rayna didn’t n to let Curtis eat it. She bought him water and ice
cream for herself. When she was paying, a little boy came by her side.
Rayna took a nce and saw that the cap the boy was wearing looked familiar. “Carl?”
The little boy raised his head. He was wearing a mask, but when he saw Rayna, his eyes lit up. “Ms.
Rayna, what a coincidence!”
As he spoke, he wanted to take off his mask.
“No, keep it on.” Rayna stopped him from taking off his mask and nced at Curtis. She was afraid that
Curtis would see Carl’s features.
Carl hummed in acknowledgment but couldn’t helpmenting, “But I have to take off my mask to eat
my ice cream.”
Rayna was at a loss for words.
After receiving their ice creams, the two went behind the cart, where Carl took off his mask.
It turned out that Carl was out for some outdoor exercise today. He had passed by here and wanted to
run around the artificialke before returning home. Little did he expect to meet Rayna while buying ice
cream.
“Why are you always doing outdoor sports?” Rayna asked. “Those are activities for adults. You should
do it moderately. Otherwise, you won’t grow after a certain stage.”
“I should be fine. I only do it at most three times a week,” Carl replied. Then, he straightened his back.
“Look, Ms. Rayna. I’ve grown taller.”
Rayna measured his height with her eyes and was surprised that it was true.
After giving it some thought, she was no longer surprised. It was only expected for Carl to grow fast
since he had good genes from Theodore.
After some chit-chat, something came to Rayna’s mind, so she asked, “Yourst name is Sanders. Is
that your dad’sst name or your mom’s?”
“My mommy’s,” Carl replied. “Mommy said I’ll change myst name to my daddy’s after he’s
discharged from the army.”
“Is your mom Jasmine Sanders?”
Carl suddenly became quiet as he eyed her warily.
Rayna could understand why he was behaving this way. After all, they had only met twice and didn’t
know each other well. “I mean no harm. I know your mom. I noticed how simr your eyes were when I
first saw you.”
“Really?”
Bobbing her head, Rayna pulled him aside and pointed in the direction of Curtis. “Do you read
newspapers normally? That person over there is Mr. Faymon of Faymon Group. He is—”
“I know. He’s engaged to Mommy,” Carl chimed in. He looked at Curtis for some time before he
muttered, “He’s not as handsome as Daddy.”
Rayna thought to herself, He’s your dad’s friend and someone you’ll have to address as uncle in the
future.
“Do you like him, Ms. Rayna?” Carl suddenly turned to Rayna and said excitedly, “If you do, ask him to
cancel his engagement with my mommy. Let me know if you need my help.”
“I—Ahem, let’s not talk about this.” She diverted the topic. “I have some news that might not be good
news to you. Do you want to hear it?”
After confirming that Carl was the child of Theodore and Jasmine, Rayna wanted to tell him about his
father. Otherwise, things would be a tangled mess if Jasmine and Curtis got married.
She didn’t mind even if she was called selfish.
Curious, Carl said, “Go on and tell me, Ms. Rayna. I’m stronger than I look, so I can handle it.”
“Actually—” Her mouth twitched, wanting to tell him the truth.
Just then, Carl’s phone rang.
He went to the side to answer the phone. A minuteter, he came back and excitedly said, “Ms. Rayna,
Mommy received a gift Daddy got for me from his friend. It’s on the way now, so I’m going home!”
“Sure, go on.” Rayna changed her mind. “Don’t tell your mom that we know each other, okay? She
doesn’t want people to know about you, so let’s act like we’re strangers.”
“I got it.” Carl nodded furiously. “But in my heart, Ms. Rayna, you’re always going to be my friend. Just
tell me if you like that uncle. I’ll be d if he cancels his engagement with Mommy.”
Hearing that, Rayna chuckled.
Based on the rtionship between Theodore and Curtis, it was only natural for Carl to refer to thetter
as “uncle.”
