Dear Sweetheart Chapter 323
Chapter 323
On the other end of the call, Curtis chuckled. “We’ve only been apart for a short while, yet you’ve alrea
dy. stopped addressing me as casually?”
“No. I think it’s more suitable to call you a jerk!”
“I’m calling you to check on your cold. It sounds like you’re
recovering well. Your hyponasal voice is gone.” Curtis‘ voice was deep and slightly hoarse. “I’m missing
you a little.”
Rayna blushed to the tip of her ears and snorted. “There are so many bustydies in the clubs at Saint
nam. Aren’t you indulging yourself in the sight of those prettydies when you go in there to discuss bu
siness with others? I’m surprised you still remember me.”
“We didn’t go to a club. Our discussion took ce at Histon Hotel. Just over ten of us and two female tr
antors,” he exined solemnly beforeughing quietly. “Are you mad at me for not bringing you with
me?”
“I didn’t say that. I’m enjoying the time of my life at home.”
“It’s not chilly here, but the air is humid because it’s the rainy season, so the weather here can easily w
orsen your cold. I’ll bring you here on vacation when we’re free next time.”
Rayna questioned him warily, “Did you do anything wrong, jerk? Why else are you so concerned about
me all of a sudden? This is so unlike you.”
Curtis felt helpless. “You’re my wife. Shouldn’t I care for you?”
“I haven’t married you yet!”
“You’ve already epted the betrothal gift, so how is that any different?”
Unable to win him during an argument, she rolled on her bed a couple of times before deciding to skip
over that topic. “When are youing back?”
“Next Tuesday.”
The return date was two days earlier than the one week Gabriel had informed her.
She grunted in response while
fiddling with her hair. “Let Jessie stay for a few more days. Mr. Lopez’s funeral just passed, and Lopez
Group is in a mess now. Wyatt needs to be there to take charge. He’ll be exhausted and requires some
one to stay by his side andfort him. Besides, if you suddenly send Jessie abroad, that will raise Wy
att’s suspicion too.”
Instead of assenting, Curtis merely said, “Jeremy is back, right? He can be there to support Wyatt.”
“How is that the same?” Rayna raised her tone, nning to talk some sense into him. “If you’re upset,
who would you prefer to have by your side? Me, Theodore, or Jeremy?”
Curtis was stumped.
Despite his silence, she knew what would be his choice. She snorted and chirped, “See? If even you pr
efer to have me around, Wyatt must feel this way too. You can let Jessie leave after Lopez Group stabil
izes. Besides, she won’t hurt Wyatt, so why can’t you be more lenient?”
He sighed. “Mrs. Faymon, you’re too eloquent. Fine. I’ll let them break up in peace after the state of aff
airs at Lopez Group bes stable. Will that suffice?”
Rayna giggled. “Look at that. Isn’t it great when you do some good deeds asionally? Don’t you feel
happy now?”
“What’s there to be happy about when I’m currently
staying in a foreign country?” His voice turned a few notes

deeper as he spoke. “How I wish I could ditch all my work here and return to your side to embrace you
now.”
Face flushing crimson, Rayna pouted. “Quit flirting with girls like a womanizer and
go to sleep. By the way, can you survey if there’s any fun present you can buy for your nephew? I’ve be
en swamped handling Mr. Lopez’s funeraltely and haven’t visited Carl. Let’s meet with him when you’
re back.”
Curtis asked, “Has Jasmine informed Theodore?”
“I think so,” she guessed. “They reconciled when we went on a holiday at Jetroina. I don’t suppose Jas
mine will prank Theodore and keep him in the dark regarding Carl’s identity.”
“We can’t be sure. If Theodore knows he has a son, he won’t remain so
unexcited. Perhaps he will want to be with his son at all times.”
Rayna agreed with him after contemting briefly. “I’ll ask Jasmine again regarding this.”
“Mrs. Faymon.”
“What’s the matter?”
Curtis sighed and uttered in slight resignation, “I’m not getting any younger.”
She fathomed the message he was implying. Her ears, sticking to the phone, flushed instantaneously,
and her palms turned sweaty. “Let’s talk about this when you’re back. I’m very sleepy, so I’ll hang up no
w.”
With that, she hastily ended the call.
Shey on the bed, mulling over Curtis‘ words. Her heart continued to
palpitate, and her cheeks remained feverish. He mentioned that in Japan too.
Rayna knew he wasn’t getting any
younger. Besides, she was quite fond of children. At that stage in their rtionship, everything was in pl
ace now. She wouldn’t refuse if he wanted to have a child with her.
Rayna caressed
her t tummy through her pajamas, recalling if they used contraception thest time they did it at the r
esort. Then, she realized she didn’t have much recollection because Curtis had prepared all those thing
s. This is so embarrassing!
She rolled over and saw the crystal pce on the floor shining brightly inside the dark room.
That was the first gift Curtis had given her.
At the thought of that man, Rayna pursed her lips and smiled while muttering, “We’ll try to conceive a c
hild once he’s back.”
After remaining home for two days, Rayna had almost recuperated from her cold.
Because of Lopez Group’s predicament, Jessica had been staying at Wyatt’s ce for the past few day
s. Instead, Gabriel had been visiting her persistently every morning, exhibiting an earnest attitude at wo
rk.
Rayna ryed Curtis‘ message to Gabriel and used a folder to smack thetter. “Have you bore that in
your mind? Don’t go harassing Jessie during this period. Isn’t it more enjoyable to walk your dog when
you’re free?”
The assistant replied with a sullen face, “Mr. Faymon is doing all the good deeds while I’m tasked with
all the unpleasant responsibilities. Am I here to shoulder all the mes? It’s not as if I have a lot of free
time, constantly yearning to send Ms. Marsh abroad” I’m just following Mr. Faymon’s orders!
While she peeled off pistachio shells and chewed on the nuts, Rayna gossiped, “How are things progre
ssing with your schoolmate?”

“Quite well. We went to have a meal togetherst night.” Gabriel was immediately invigorated. “I select
ed the restaurant ording to her preference and even bought her a bouquet of hyacinth.”
“That’s great.” She nced at him andplimented, “Not bad. Your actions aren’t too aggressive
or distasteful. I thought you would buy her red roses.”
He scratched his nose. “I ordered a bouquet of ny–
nine red roses initially. Then, I saw a picture of her
holding a stalk of hyacinth in a flower garden on her Instagram, so I guessed she likes hyacinths and qu
Rayna didn’t respond.
“Last night, when I sent her home, she told me the food was nice and asked me if I was
still thinking of her.”
She uttered firmly, “She agreed to your dinner invitation, epted your flowers, and even let you send h
A sad and helpless look spread
across Gabriel’s face. “I wanted to tell her yes and asked her if she was free. Unexpectedly, her phone r
Rayna had the urge tough yet didn’t dare to do so.
In the end, she patted his shoulder, “It’s fine. Maybe her parents contacted her. Believe me. She must be

As she spoke, Rayna removed the coat and scarf from the rack and put them on. “I’m going to visit my m

Gabriel was caught in a tight spot. “Mrs. Faymon, I don’t think that’s
appropriate. Mr. Faymon is so perceptive. I’m afraid-”
“He may be smart, but
you’re not a fool either.” Rayna pushed him out of the room and locked the door behind her. “That’s enou
brewed wine.”
Gabriel’s determination wavered.
He had tasted the wine Linda brewed, and it was superb.
In the end, he conceded and followed
Rayna out of the condominium. “Can I request a set of grilled pork as well?”
“Get lost.”
Gabriel fell silent for a while before taking out his phone and approaching her again. He uttered excitedly
Rayna’s face darkened.
Why do I feel like Mr. Tylinski has be a love–struck fool
after reuniting with his first love? The old Mr. Tylinski was more likable.
Rayna arrived at Linda’s shop at around eleven.
