Dear Sweetheart Chapter 282


    Chapter 282 Double Act


    “Tsk, tsk. You’re the perfect example of hiding your true feelings,” Wyatt sneered. “Didn’t you say you


    were going to Norham? Eventually, you came here with Curtis instead to visit a certain someone.”


    Curtis replied nonchntly, “Wyatt, both of your listedpanies have Theodore as yourrgest


    supplier. If he decides to stop supplying you someday, I’m sure it won’t take long for you to dere


    bankruptcy.”


    Wyatt retracted his smile and poured a cup of coffee for Theodore quickly as he said in a ttering


    tone, “Have some coffee, Theodore! Hehe! Please excuse me for being ignorant and immature.”


    However, Theodore didn’t even bother to respond to Wyatt.


    Soon, their meal arrived and the whole table wasden with dishes, most of which were ordered by


    Wyatt as he was afraid Jessica would be hungry. After that, he diligently took some roast meat for her.


    “Here, Babe. Try this roast meat.”


    “Babe, try this delicious meatball spaghetti! I’ll feed you.”


    “Babe, have a sip of this pear juice, and don’t choke on your food.”


    “Babe…”


    When the six of them were having dinner, they could only hear Wyatt addressing Jessica affectionately.


    asionally, he would also lean over to kiss her as well,pletely ignoring the rest of them.


    “Wyatt,” Curtis said indifferently. “If you don’t shut your mouth, I’ll make you shut up instead.”


    Wyatt retorted, “You can do the same too. I wouldn’t mind…”


    Before he could finish his sentence, Theodore’s hand went past Curtis’ back and grabbed Wyatt’s hair


    before mming his face into the meatball spaghetti.


    “Are you done talking?” asked Theodore.

    The three women sitting across the table wereughing their heads off.


    After she was doneughing, Jessica took out a tissue and gave it to Wyatt. “Use this to clean yourself


    up… Pfft! Haha! I’m sorry, Wyatt, but you look hrious!”


    Feeling aggrieved, Wyatt replied, “I’m doing this for the sake of you, Babe! How could you stillugh at


    me?”


    As soon as he raised his head, Wyatt’s face was smothered in sticky gravy, making him look hrious


    and foolish, which had Jessicaugh until tears streamed down her cheeks. Upon seeing her reaction,


    Wyatt felt as if he had been smacked a thousand times.


    “Please excuse me, I have to take a phone call.” Suddenly, Jessica’s phone rang. She quickly nced


    at the phone screen before grabbing it and hurrying away.


    Rayna felt curious as she noticed Jessica’s nervous expression before thetter left.


    Did something happen in thepany?


    At the same time, Curtis’ dark gaze lingered briefly on Jessica as well.


    “Don’t you feel bored eating just like that, Mr. Xavier?” Seeing that Theodore hadn’t touched much of


    the food on his te, Jasmine asked as she handed him a bottle of ck pepper.


    Theodore didn’t bother to look at her.


    Jasmine then rested her chin on her hands as she looked at him and smiled. “Mr. Xavier, since we’ve


    dated before, we should at least be acquainted with each other. Can’t we at least be friends if we can’t


    be lovers?”


    “I don’t think it’s necessary.” Theodore’s expression was grim as if it was pointless for him to say


    anything further.


    Jasmine merely murmured in acknowledgment without getting mad at his response. She then


    continued to make small talk with Theodore. “You’re thirty-three years old, aren’t you, Mr. Xavier? I’m


    curious whether you’re married yet.”


    “Noment.”


    “That means you’re not.” Jasmine spected before she continued to probe, “Not even an illegitimate


    child?”


    Theodore was rendered speechless.


    Jasmine shook her head as she nced at him with a pitiful expression. “Mr. Xavier, it’s unusual for


    someone your age to not have a girlfriend or a child. Don’t you consider yourself a failure?”


    “Theodore hasn’t mentioned anything, and you already know he doesn’t have a girlfriend or children?”


    Curtis looked at Jasmine amusingly. “I’m curious whether you were privy to his life in Norham over the


    last three years.”


    Jasmine chuckled gently. “From the looks of it, it seems that he wasn’t doing that well. “


    “I doubt so.” Curtis raised his brows and added, “I heard there were quite a number of female


    executives at Norham who admired Theodore and frequently asked him out to dinner.”


    Stroking his chin, Curtis recalled, “I remember there was a 23-year-old female executive from Pyork


    asking Theodore out during Christmas two years ago, and he stayed out all night.”


    He then kicked Wyatt’s leg underneath the table.


    “Yes, that’s right! I remember that too!” Since Wyatt was particrly experienced in matters of the


    heart, as soon as he heard Curtis’ remarks along with a kick from thattter, he knew exactly what to


    say next.


    Wyatt added cheerfully, “That female executive was really gorgeous! She had a tall nose, big eyes, and


    a perfect hourss figure. After she spent Christmas together with Theodore, the female executive


    resigned a monthter. Tsk, tsk! I wonder if it’s because she found out that she was pregnant and ran


    away with Theodore’s child?”


    “I suppose so.” Curtis nodded in agreement. “That child should be around two years old, right?”


    “Exactly!”


    Both men put on a double act as they conversed between themselves.


    Furrowing his eyebrows deeply, Theodore was about to say something when Jasmine stood up


    abruptly and snatched the ss of warm water in front of her, furiously sshing it on Theodore’s face.


    “Fine, go look for your Pyork female executive, then!” she hissed bitterly.


    With that, Jasmine grabbed her coat and left.


    “Wow, Ms. Sanders has quite a fiery temper.” Wyatt tutted as he took some tissues and handed them


    to Theodore. It was the first time he had seen Theodore getting sshed in the face by someone else,


    and yet Theodore remained unfazed.


    “Were you guys just putting up an act, or were all your ims true?” After snapping back to her senses,


    a wide-eyed Rayna asked, “You don’t have an illegitimate child, do you, Mr. Xavier?”


    “No, I don’t!” Theodore replied in a grim voice as he wiped the water off his face. “Unlike Curtis and


    Wyatt, who have the time to go out and have dinner with women, I’m too busy to do anything like that.”


    Rayna’s expression changed. “What do you mean by that?”


    Theodore nced briefly at Curtis and sneered, “Do you know Leticia Ramsey? She was initially an


    executive in Faymon Group’s international business department but was transferred to the Norham


    branch’s finance department in January, as arranged by Mr. Faymon. On Valentine’s Day, he paid a


    hundred million to reserve the entire Silvernova Club and spent the entire night with her there.”


    “Wow!” Wyatt eximed, adding fuel to the fire. “No wonder I tried calling Curtis so many times that


    day but couldn’t get through to him. Turns out that he was out on a date!”


    Curtis had a displeased expression on his face. “Hey…”


    “Curtis Faymon, you’re a big fat liar!” Rayna stood up in a rage and yelled angrily at him, “You said you


    aren’t close with any women, yet it turns out that your private life is a rather colorful one!”


    Before she left, Rayna spotted the ss of lemonade on the table and grabbed it, sshing its


    contents on Curtis’ face.


    Wyatt ducked to the side, afraid of bing coteral damage.


    Drenched in water, both men drew the attention of diners.


    As he wiped the water off his face, Curtis turned to look at Theodore helplessly. “I’m helping you here,


    Theodore, and yet you’re repaying my kindness with misdeeds? It’s not like you don’t know the story


    behind the hundred-million Silvernova Club reservation.”


    “When did I ever spend Christmas with that female executive?” Theodore retorted. “It just so happens


    that her boyfriend who hade to pick her up wore the exact same scarf as mine, so you assumed it


    was me!”


    “Hey, we’re best friends, aren’t we? Quit fighting, okay?” Wyatt took a tissue and gave it to Curtis.


    However, the smug look on his face was too obvious.


    That made Curtis and Theodore very displeased and annoyed.


    Coincidentally, Jessica returned to the table after ending her phone conversation. When she came


    back and saw the table was quite empty, Jessica asked in bewilderment, “Why are you guys the only


    ones here? Where’s Nana and Ms. Sanders? Did they go to the bathroom together?”


    Noticing both Curtis and Theodore’s wet cors, she was even more baffled. “What’s up with you two?”


    “T-They…”


    Just when Wyatt was about to say something, Curtis had already seized Wyatt’s hair and shoved his


    face into the te of spaghetti once again, while Theodore snatched Wyatt’s phone and unlocked it


    using thetter’s thumbprint before passing the phone to Jessica.
