Dear Sweetheart Chapter 343


    Chapter 343 Stop Being So Secretive


    On Christmas Eve at Jetroina, Rayna and Curtis came across an essories store while walking


    around the street. At that time, a scarf wrapped around the mannequin’s neck in the disy window


    caught her eye, so she dragged Curtis into the store and bought it for him as a Christmas present.


    And now she spotted the same grey scarf from that day in Jefferson’s room. Is it a coincidence?


    At that moment, Jefferson came into the room as well.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Embarrassment shed in his eyes when he saw the scarf in Rayna’s hand. “I’ve been searching high


    and low for a long time but to no avail. I didn’t expect you to find it right away.” His tone sounded


    unnatural.


    “Yeah. It’s hanging in the coat.” In fact, anyone could sense his awkwardness as he was terrible at


    concealing it. Rayna felt upset and forced a smile on her face. “You’re so careless.”


    As Rayna spoke, she stepped forward to get the scarf and wrapped it around Jefferson’s neck when he


    lowered his body.


    His dark blue low-neck sweater could be seen as he had not zipped his down jacket. Moreover, his


    corbones and the teardrop pendant were slightly visible when he lowered his body.


    Rayna lowered her head and bit down hard on her lip, holding back her emotions. After the breakup, I’d


    already returned or dumped all the gifts he gave me when we were dating. However, he still wore and


    treasured the only present I gave him, which was the teardrop pendant until now. He’s such an idi*t!


    How pathetic is this? He is very possessive but has never forced me to do anything. Rather than telling


    me he wanted it, he secretly bought the same one by himself.


    While burying her head in his chest, Rayna gloomily mumbled, “Jefferson, I hate you so much.” I hate


    you for your sacrifice and for keeping everything to yourself. I even despise you for still liking me.


    The duo had been staying together in a suite for so long, but they lived in their respective rooms. Their


    only intimate interaction was Rayna snuggling in his embrace at that moment.


    Since they were so close to each other, Jefferson could smell a faint, fragrant scent from her body,


    which was particrly alluring.


    Jefferson reached out to keep her soft, tender body locked in his arms. As he took in the pleasant scent


    of her hair, he uttered, “Don’t hate me. You said you owe me favors and want to make up for all of


    them.”


    No one knew what changes would ur as the future was far away. Despite that, it was the happiest


    moment of his life because the woman he loved was by his side, giving him all her attention and trying


    her best to save him.


    Even if he couldn’t survive, he would still be satisfied because he got the things he had yearned for.


    Now, he could leave with no regrets.


    After burrowing herself in his embrace for a while, Rayna felt that she was being melodramatic, so she


    quickly withdrew from his arms and helped him zip up his down jacket, bundling him up tightly.


    Rayna then put on a smile. “Let me take you out for a walk tonight. You must tell me if you take a liking


    to something, and I’ll buy it for you, okay?” Just stop being so secretive. I’ll feel bad.


    Jefferson nodded in response.


    Perhaps many people were overseas for vacation recently, so they saw a lot of guests, including men


    and women of all ages and even couples cuddling against each other when they came out of the hotel.


    Initially, Rayna didn’t care about it. Yet, when she unintentionally caught a glimpse of Jefferson’s gaze


    on a couple passing by before retracting his gaze and ncing at himself and her, she understood


    something.


    Leaning over, she interlocked her fingers with his.


    Even though they just came out from their room, which was pretty warm, and there was central heating


    in the lobby, Jefferson’s hand was slightly cold.


    Rayna suppressed her distress before muttering, “It’s almost minus one degree outside, and it’s


    freezing. I can’t stand the freeze, so you must take care of me. Don’t let me catch a cold.”


    Jefferson was stunned by her words, but he instantly held her hand tightly, wrapping her hand in his


    palm. “Okay.”


    The duo celebrating the festive season without any friends or family in Frosa might appear dreary. In


    Chanaea, on the other hand, everyone celebrated the festival with excitement, and fireworks boomed


    in the sky from time to time.


    The atmosphere was the liveliest at Linda’s new ce.


    Except for Rayna, James and Roxanne went back home. They even brought their partners along.


    “Mommy, let me help you.” Although Kristie did not know how to cook, she insisted on entering the


    kitchen to help Linda wash the vegetables as she wanted to please thetter. She would do even the


    slightest thing to help just to leave a good impression on Linda.


    Linda replied, “It’s rather smoky in the kitchen. You should just stay in the living room.”


    “No worries, Mom. It’s a way to light up the festive mood!” Kristie obediently responded. She


    immediately took a te and handed it over when she noticed Linda was about to finish cooking a dish.


    “Kristie, by the way…” While peeling prawns, Roxanne turned around to look at Kristie. “You’re


    celebrating Christmas here, then how about Curtis?”


    “I think Curt will return to the Faymon residence to apany Old Mr. Faymon to have a meal, just like


    last year,” Kristie answered.


    Since Kristie worked under Curtis during her teenage year, she had been celebrating New Year at the


    Faymon residence. If she happened to film in Norham and couldn’t return, she would spend the festive


    season with Theodore and the others.


    Roxanne merely hummed in response.


    She inched closer to Kristie and whispered, “I somehow feel something’s wrong. How could Curtis not


    worry about letting Rayna go on an overseas business trip alone?”


    Instantly, Kristie nodded before she said softly, “I have the same thought as you! You have no idea how


    much Curt adores Rayna. There’s no way he’ll allow her to go abroad by herself, let alone during


    Christmas. Also, I realize Curt had an indifferent look when I went to Faymon Group to see him in the


    past few days. He even ignored me. I wanted to ask those staff where Rayna had gone for a business


    trip, but they kept their lips sealed.”


    Roxanne’s eyes widened in surprise. “Did they break up, so Rayna went overseas to heal her broken


    heart?”


    “I don’t think so since Curt and Rayna have a loving rtionship.” Although Kristie said so, she was


    doubtful about that. “When I ask James, he imed he rarely contacts Rayna.”


    “His word can never be trusted!” Roxanne rolled her eyes. “Let me tell you. To him, Rayna is his top


    priority. Thus, he will do whatever she ordered.”


    “They aren’t breaking up, are they?”


    “I should be the one to ask you that question. Don’t you know the status of their rtionship the best


    since you’re close to Mr. Faymon?”


    Kristie pursed her red lips. “But Curt detests me now. Isn’t Cillian working with Curt? You should ask


    Cillian to test the waters and see if he could get any information from Curt.”


    “Oh, right! That almost slipped my mind.”


    Meanwhile, when Linda was about to serve the dish, she saw Roxanne and Kristie sitting together,


    seemingly whispering about something among themselves. “What are you two chatting about? Who’s


    breaking up with who?”


    Upon hearing that, Kristie immediately got up and smiled obediently. “It’s no big deal, Mom. Roxanne


    and I are only gossiping. Let me take the food out.”


    With that said, she took the dish from Linda before she scurried off.


    Just as Kristie put the dish on the dining table, she noticed James wasn’t chatting with Cillian but was


    answering a call by the window. I wonder who he’s talking to on the phone. He looks a little


    exasperated.


    She sneaked up on him as she wanted to eavesdrop on the phone call.


    However, James seemed to find out about her action and only wished that person a Happy New Year


    before hanging up the phone. Kristie was caught off guard when he turned around and fell into his


    embrace.


    Hence, Kristie simply snuggled in his embrace and refused to get up. While looking up at him, she


    asked, “Who did you talk to through the phone? Your tone sounded so gentle. Are you courting


    someone else behind my back?”


    The corners of James’ lips twitched when he heard her questions. “No. Don’t overthink.”


    “Then tell me, who was it?”
