Dear Sweetheart Chapter 344
Chapter 344 Are You Not Tired Of It
“My roommate.”
Kristie stared at him incredulously. When she saw that his gaze was clear and he appeared to be telling
the truth, she pouted. “If I ever discover you having a rtionship with someone else, you’re dead!”
“Don’t be silly.” Patting her head, James tried to change the subject. “You should eat more. When I
carried you yesterday, you felt lighter than before.”
In James’ opinion, women should not be overly thin, or they would suffer from the effects of anemia
and whatnot. A well-developed, healthy body was certainly better.
“No! I can’t be on camera if I put on weight.” Kristie pouted, shaking a slender finger at him. “Men say
that it’s not good to be too skinny, but when we put on weight, they will feel disgusted.”
“No, I won’t.”
“Hmph!” Kristie snorted. “You may not mind, but I do. I’m afraid that you’ll grow tired of me if I be
fat and pursue other girls instead. At the end of the day, I’m also relying on my looks to make a living
from my fans.”
James was at a loss for words.
“I think you should eat more,” Kristie murmured as she rubbed his chest. “You’re the one who needs
the strength, not me.”
Instantly, he understood her double entendre. Arching an eyebrow, he lowered his head and stared at
the impish grin on her face. “Such enthusiasm. Don’t you get tired of it?”
Kristie threatened, “The day I am no longer enthusiastic is the day I’m seeing someone else.”
James was rendered speechless.
What a tititing disy.
The Christmas Eve dinner prepared was extremelyvish. Each and every dish Linda made was
tailored to James’ taste.
The atmosphere was merry as everyone sat down to eat.
Linda nced at James and Cillian, her children’s respective partners, with a content expression. She
sighed wistfully. “I wonder how Rayna is doing overseas. That girl won’t evene home for
Christmas.”
Since he was her potential son-inw, Linda had wanted to invite Curtis over. However, after
considering the fact that Curtis and Rayna were only dating and had not progressed so far, she
dispelled the notion. Curtis would also have his own family gathering to attend, thus, she felt bad about
inviting him over.
Serving Linda a te, Roxanne said, “Mom, you worry too much. I’m sure Rayna can take good care of
herself over there. Anyway, James and I both brought our partners home tonight!”
“She’s been gone for more than a month now, but she never calls.” Apart from the very first phone call,
Rayna had not called home, causing Linda to worry about her.
A woman traveling overseas for work all by herself… Huh, Rayna is a kind girl. What if she’s being
bullied over there?
Linda peered at Roxanne, a hint of dissatisfaction coloring her tone as she said, “Among you three
siblings, Rayna is the most dependable, while James is the most obedient. You’re the most spoiled,
always making your sister worry about you.”
“Mom, I’m not spoiled!” Roxanneined. Kristie is even more spoiled than I am! However,
Roxanne chose to keep silent because of Kristie’s background. As she could not afford to incur their
wrath, she could only bear her mother’s criticism silently.
“How are you not spoiled? Rayna offered to let you study abroad, but you refused her offer and chose
to pursue a career in acting, wasting a lot of her money in the process. It’s a good thing she has a
knack for business.”
Linda truly felt bad about it. She was a divorcee trying to take care of her three children, but the family’s
financial burden had fallen on her oldest daughter’s shoulders instead. Rayna is such an outstanding
daughter.
Tears began to roll down her face at the thought. Linda sobbed, “You should cherish your sister more. If
it wasn’t for her support, you won’t be able to pursue your dreams. I have nothing and can do nothing
for you all.”
“There, there. Why are you crying, Mom?” Roxanne hurried over tofort her mother. “We know that
our current lifestyle is all Rayna’s efforts. We will make sure to treat her well.”
James added, “Mom, you know me. I’ll always support Rayna in her endeavors. I’m incredibly grateful
to you and Rayna.”
“It’s not good to cry on Christmas Eve,” Kristie chimed in. “Come, let’s toast to Rayna who isn’t here
today.”
Linda wiped her tears. “What a shameful disy. You’re right, I shouldn’t cry on such a joyous day.”
Everyone picked up their sses and toasted.
Cillian poured a ss of wine and offered it to Linda.
Scratching his head, he said awkwardly, “Ms. Linda, I am but an uncultured man who can’t quite
measure up to those handsome men who are good at earning money. However, I’m truly grateful that a
pretty woman like Roxanne is willing to stay with me.”
Lindaughed in response. “Just because a man is handsome and good at earning money doesn’t
mean he will cherish his partner. I’m quite pleased with you. Out of my three children, Roxanne is the
fussiest. Please continue to take care of her.”
Cillian hurriedly said, “Oh no, she’s not fussy at all. I’d be happy as long as she’s satisfied with me.”
Halfway through the meal, Linda excused herself to go to her room.
She grabbed the gifts she had prepared in advance and presented them to Kristie and Cillian. “It’s just
a trifle. I hope you’ll ept it and I wish you all a happy year ahead.”
Kristie promptly epted the proffered gift. “Thank you, Mom!”
Unused to such customs, Cillian hesitated for a long moment before finally responding when Roxanne
elbowed him. “Thank you, Ms. Linda. I wish you a Merry Christmas too.”
Kristie roared withughter. “Cillian, you’re such a buffoon!”
A tiny smile crept over Linda’s lips.
Puzzled, Cillian scratched his head. When he noticed Roxanne’s livid expression, he asked cautiously,
“Why are you allughing at me? Did I say something wrong?”
“You dolt!” Roxanne smacked Cillian and scolded him in a low, furious voice, “Mom gave you the
present because she considers you her son-inw. What do you mean by Merry Christmas?”
Cillian was thrilled. “Really?”
He quickly turned around to look at Linda. “Thank you, Ms. Linda!”
Exasperated, Roxanne kicked him in the leg. “What do you mean by ‘Ms. Linda?’ Use your brain!”

Cillian immediately uttered loudly, “Thank you so much, Mom! Don’t worry, I will cherish Roxanne. Even
if I have to starve to death, I will never let her go hungry.”
Roxanne was speechless.
This blockhead will be the death of me!
Roxanne and the others helped Linda wash the dishes and tidy up after the meal. When she had a
moment of free time, Roxanne tugged Cillian aside.
Cillian, under the impression that Roxanne wanted him to help with the dishes, immediately rolled up
his sleeves. “Leave it to me.”
“Wait just a minute. There’s something I need to ask you.” Roxanne grabbed him and asked in a low
voice, “Did you notice anything amiss when you were with Curtis some time ago?”
“What do you mean?”
Moving closer, Roxanne whispered, “Curtis and Rayna were practically inseparable, yet she went
overseas and stayed there over the holidays alone. Why didn’t he go with her? Also, Kristie said that
he’s been ignoring her. Could it be that Rayna and Curtis had broken up?”
Yes, they had actually broken up.
Cillian only knew about the incident because James had told him. As for the reason for the breakup, he
was left in the dark. Thetter had made him promise not to tell thedies especially Linda.
