Dear Sweetheart Chapter 203
Chapter 203 The Funeral Of Julian
“Aren’t you worried that Wyatt would be jealous?” asked Rayna, clearly amused.
“Hmph! I don’t care if he’s jealous. I’m super mad at him now! He knows we’re good friends. He
should’ve told us about Curtis’ schemes, but he kept us in the dark!”
“He’s very close with Curtis, after all,” said Rayna, pursing her lips. “Jessica, please help me find out
when Julian’s funeral will be held when you go to work tomorrow.”
Jessica nodded in response.
Julian was a member of the Faymon family, so the news of his death spread like wildfire. The media
thronged the hospital, but no one managed to find out what led to his death.
Jessica said, “I thought he was quite the jerk previously. Who knew he’d…”
Rayna’s heart ached.
Julian would have been fine if he had not taken that bullet for her. Unexpectedly, he had gone ahead
and shielded her with his body.
Now, Rayna would forever be in his debt.
Jessica told Rayna she had applied for leave so that she could keep thetterpany for the rest of
the day. Rayna was touched by her warm gesture. Nevertheless, she did not feel like going back to her
condominium, so she stayed at Linda’s for the time being.
When Rayna was browsing the inte, she came across news reports about Faymon Group.
After Sienna took over, Faymon Group’s share prices stabilized a little, but various controversies still
surrounded it. Coupled with the sudden adjustment to the line-up of its management, everything was
still up in the air for the group.
Rayna sneered as she took in the reports.
When she learned the truth, she finally knew how masterful Curtis was in setting people up. He must
be up to something behind the scenes after he handed Faymon Group to Sienna and quit altogether.
As to what he had in mind, Rayna was not interested and did not want to know.
Jessica messaged Rayna that Julian’s funeral would be held in the Faymon family cemetery on the day
after the next. Since Julian had worked in Faymon Group before, Faymon Group employees were
allowed to attend his funeral.
The day after the next, huh?
Rayna gazed at the pair of pearl earrings she held in her palm. The pearls were white and perfectly
round—they were exceptionally beautiful. Reminded of how Julian had died in her arms, Rayna sobbed
soundlessly in grief.
On the morning of Julian’s funeral, Rayna put on a solemn ck dress and a ck funeral hat.
James was already waiting downstairs, fully d in ck as well. “Rayna, I’ll go with you. I want to
thank him too.”
“Sure.”
The Faymon family cemetery was in the suburbs. It would take a two-and-a-half-hour car ride to get
there. The ancestors of the Faymon family bought the plot ofnd fifty years ago, intending for all the
Faymons to be buried in the same ce after their passing.
When Rayna and James arrived, there were already a lot of cars in the outdoor parking lot.
Rayna’s gaze swept across the Pagani for one brief moment. With pursed lips, she entered the
cemetery with James. From afar, they could see that many people had gathered there.
“Julian. Oh, Julian. My dear son…”
Rnda, who was devastated and extremely haggard, came into Rayna’s view as thetter neared the
crowd. She was crying her heart out in front of her son’s tombstone while others tried to console her.
Jessica approached with quick steps and whispered, “I think you shouldn’t havee, Nana. All of the
Faymons are here. Look how pitiful Julian’s mom is.”
“Julian died for me. How could I note?”
Jessica sighed at Rayna’s reply.
Rayna took a few steps forward and saw Curtis among the crowd. Dressed in a ck suit and devoid
of any expression, he sat still in his wheelchair. Somehow sensing Rayna’s gaze, he turned his head
around, and their eyes met.
The moment Curtis saw Rayna, his eyes flickered, and there was a subtle change of emotion. There
was guilt in his eyes.
Rayna quickly looked away with a disdainful sneer. She waited for those in front of her to finish paying
their respects, then stepped forward and carefullyid down the white flower she had brought in front of
Julian’s tombstone.
Julian’s photo on the tombstone showed him smiling lightly with a gentle gaze.
He seemed to be smiling at Rayna as she put her hand on his tombstone and mumbled, “I’m sorry.”
They had gotten married to each other for their own agendas. Despite that, Julian had treated Rayna
fairly well throughout the year they were married. Except for that ugly row they had when they divorced,
they had never fought with each other.
Because of Rayna, his life hade to a halt in its twenty-fifth year.
I’m sorry. If there is a next life for the both of us, I will marry you properly and only love you. Julian, I
swear I’ll avenge you.
“Why have youe, Rayna?” Brooklyn was the first to notice her. “Julian’s dead because of you. He
doesn’t want you here! Get lost!”
Rnda, who was close to passing out from her intense sobbing, looked up upon hearing Brooklyn’s
shrill voice.

As soon as her gazended on Rayna, intense hatred filled her eyes. She pushed away the person
who was supporting her andunched herself at Rayna.
“Give me back my son! My son!” Rnda wailed as she strangled Rayna, shaking thetter back and
forth forcefully like a mad woman. “Give him back to me! You damned woman! Why weren’t you the
one who died? Why? Why my son? He’s only twenty-five years old! Die! You should die! Return my son
to me!”
Rnda did not hold back at all. Rayna’s face turned purple from theck of oxygen, but she did not
resist the older woman’s assault.
Curtis’ gaze darkened. He was about to ask Wyatt to go over, but James was faster to react. James
yanked Rnda away roughly and shielded Rayna from her.
“I’m sorry for your loss, but my sister is a victim too,” said James solemnly.
“She caused his death! She’s a victim, my foot!” Rndashed out again, yanking and hitting James,
landing a few scratches on his face in the process. “She should die in his ce!”
Kristie was aggravated upon seeing that.
She took one step forward, but Jeremy nted a hand on her shoulder firmly to stop her. He said
quietly, “You shouldn’t go. Let Curtis handle this himself, then he’ll know not to cross a woman in the
future.”
“That olddy is scratching up my boyfriend’s face!” Kristie replied through gritted teeth under her
breath. “How could she? I’ve never scratched his face even when we fight!”
Jeremy was speechless.
Brooklyn added fuel to the fire by saying, “Ms. Gand, I’ve got to hand it to you. You’ve somehow
bewitched two men from the Faymon family, making them eat out of your hand. I heard Curtis became
immobile because he shielded you from the impact during that ident. Now, Julian died because of
you. You’re quite the jinx, aren’t you?”
Rnda seemed to be reminded of something. She pointed a finger at Rayna and started shrieking, “A
few months ago at Atty’s wee baby party, I noticed you constantly staring at Curtis. So, you’ve
already nned to gain his favor back then, haven’t you? What has my son done to you? Why did you
treat him that way? His death is on you! You frivolous woman! Even if you were struck by lightning a
hundred times, it wouldn’t be enough!”
Rayna’s lips trembled, but she did not say anything to defend herself.
It’s all my fault. No matter what Rnda says, I have no right to talk back to her.
“That’s enough!” James could not hold back any longer. “I understand your anger and grief, but you
shouldn’t nder my sister.”
“nder? How am I ndering her? Everything I said is true! She was already pregnant before Curtis
had made anything official between them. On top of that, she even went to the Faymon residence to
show off. What do you think was her intention? If I were to give birth to a daughter like her, I’d end her
myself!”
James clenched his fists tightly.
