Dear Sweetheart Chapter 353
Chapter 353
Rayna swiftly withdrew her hand.
Jefferson’s countenance was cloaked in darkness, so it was impossible to read his expression. He dre
w two pieces of tissue and handed them to her. “It’s just a movie.”
“You’re going to say something along the lines of ‘the actual war is crueler than movies, aren’t you?” Sh
e wiped her tears with the tissues and grumbled, “Aren’t you sick of repeating yourself? I can’t help that
I tear up so easily. It’s not as if I’m disrupting your movie–watching anyway.”
“I can’t bear seeing you cry, even more so when a movie’s the cause. You might as well shed tears for
me. It’d be more worth crying over me.” His heart ached at how miserable she seemed.
Rayna was choked with fury. “Fine, you win! I can’t outsmart your silver tongue!”
“Where’s the lie?”
“You’re right.” Then, she grabbed a handful of popcorn and forcefully stuffed them into his mouth as sh
e threatened, “Concentrate on the movie. If you dare disturb my crying session, it’s off to bed you go!”
Jefferson’s mouth was so full that he could not utter a word.
While watching the movie, Rayna silently wept. In no time, the number of used tissues on the table pile
d up. By the time the movie ended, her eyelids had drooped, perhaps because she was too sleepy.
Her drowsiness took over her, and her head tilted to the side,nding right on Jefferson’s shoulder.
When he felt the weight on his shoulder, he turned off the projector and waited for his eyes to adjust to t
he darkness before carrying Rayna to her bedroom. Gently, hey her on the bed and switched on the
night light..
The soft, amber light bathed the woman’s slumbering face in a golden hue and cast shadows beneath
her thickshes. Her sharp chin was
proof that she had lost a great deal of weight from her hard work in the past period of time.
Jefferson sat on the side of her bed and stared at her protractedly as if she were the most riveting piec
e of art in the room.
He reached out and gingerly stroked Rayna’s cheek lest he disturbs her sleep before nting a light kis
s on her lips longingly.
“Goodnight, my princess.”
May you have sweet dreams tonight, and may I be part of them.
The following day, the sun shone brightly, bringing up the temperature.
Rayna and Jefferson threw themselves into setting up the garden once they had breakfast. While he w
orked on constructing a shed, she formted fertilizer with the help of a botany manual and tilled the s
oil.
Before they began, she was initially concerned that his pampered upbringing would render him unfit for
manualbor. Yet he surprised her by building a sturdy shed single–
handedly with only its blueprint as a guideline.
Rayna gave him a thumbs–up. “I’ll have to address you as ‘Mr. Omnipotent‘ from this day forth!”
nting flowers was an arduous task. Even the construction of the shed took up several hours. The du
o rested at noon and resumed work after devouring venison soup and several other tasty dishes prepar
ed by Rayna
It was not till around five in the afternoon that the green roses were
nted in the spacious and toasty shed.

Rayna and Jefferson howled inughter as they took in one another’s grimy appearance. After cleaning
up, they went to the supermarket to get some groceries and window shop.
Verdant Vine Garden on Lavanya
Road was where they settled down In Frosa. When the weather was pleasant, they would go for jogs in
the morning, then read or y puzzles in thefort of their home during the afternoon.
asionally, Rayna would bring Jefferson out to explore the area, dine at fancy restaurants, and purch
ase new clothes. However, because he disliked the food from said restaurants, theyter took turns co
oking at home instead.
The research progress on Ixora
was always in the back of Rayna’s mind. From time to time, she would text the blond–haired man
named Robert for updates.
In the blink of an eye, she and Jefferson had been living in Verdant Vine Garden for half a month.
That day, Rayna woke up early as per usual. Just as she was reaching for some milk in the fridge, she
smelt something that made her nauseous. The churning of her stomach prompted her to make a mad d
ash for the bathroom, where she started retching at the sink.
However, that wave of nausea did not persist for long. Therefore, she was under the assumption it was
caused by her empty stomach and was soon back on her feet preparing breakfast.
All of a sudden, the phone on her table began ringing.
Rayna, who was busy with the breakfast preparation, rushed to pick up her phone. After tapping on the
answer button, she ced her phone next to her ear and asked in Ferropenian, “Mr. Robert, is there an
y progress on the research of Ixora?”
James and Robert were the only ones privy to her new contact number, which she had gotten after mo
ving to Frosa.
There was only dead silence on the other end of the line.
A long time had passed by the time Rayna sensed something was amiss. She took down her phone an
d checked the caller ID.
It was an unknown number that had Frosa’s calling code.
Her heart clenched.
Abandoning whatever she was doing, Rayna lifted the phone to her ear once more. Then, she bit her li
p and waited mutely for the caller to speak.
Just like that, the two of them remained silent.
A baritone voice with an air of aloofness sounded after the drawn–
out silence. “I can’tprehend why I still take care of it when I obviously detest long–
haired pets. I called Jessica, and she
told me your cat is at Jasmine’s house. I’d wanted to send Lucky away, yet I f*cking ended up bringing
your cat back from Jasmine’s instead. Your cat is seriously obese that it resembles a pig. Besides, it’s s
poiled with the most premium cat feed and high–
quality mineral water that costs dozens per bottle. Despite its docile appearance, it fought with Lucky fr
equently My floor is constantly covered with fur”
Rayna cracked up at that, and her eyes stung “Please help to trim its nails. Lucky’s skin isn’t resistant t
o its scratches. Don’t worry. They’ll stop fighting once they’ve gotten to know each other”
“Taking care of your cat is too costly. It’s too much of a glutton.”
“I’ll reimburse you when I get back. Just state the amount. Her longing for him reached its apogee at the

“Is that all you have to say? You ran off with another man and broke off contact with me. Tell me, is

“I…” Rayna was at a loss for words from his unconditional care, concern, and consideration. By then, te

She recalled what Jeremy had told her. “Curtis says nothing, but everything he does is for you. You mea
Curtis was a reticent man, never one to express his affection readily. The fact that he
could confess that he missed her showed how much he treasured her. It was because
he pined for her greatly that he decided to verbalize his feelings.
Rayna sniffled. “Curtis… I miss you too.”
To her dismay, there was only dead silence on the other end of the line. Not even a breathing sound cou
be heard. Only when she looked at her phone screen did she find out that the
call had already disconnected.
She attempted to reach him, but the line was busy.
Rayna hastily began typing a message on her phone. At that moment, she
no longer held herself back, nning toe clean about how much she yearned for him, in addition to
