Dear Sweetheart Chapter 394
Chapter 394
Soon, the night of the party arrived.
Boniel and Arnaud had changed into their suits and got into a car to attend the party.
Jefferson and Rayna were the only ones left in the manor.
Since Rayna was still waiting for the housekeeper to get her gown from Bruce, she said to Jefferson,
“You didn’t have to wait for me and should have gone ahead with your dad. I know the ce, anyway.”
“You’re my girlfriend. It’s only right that I go with you.” Pouring a cup of water for her, he asked softly,
“Are the babies behaving themselves today? Will they disturb you at the party?”

She also replied in a soft voice, “They’ve been great these two days, so it should be fine tonight. Thank
goodness that I haven’t gained any weight and that my belly’s not protruding. If not, I won’t be able to
put on a gown.”
Jefferson grinned. “I’ve never seen a chubby version of you. I’m actually looking forward to seeing it.”
“Hey! You’re going too far.”
The two of them only bantered with each other in muted voices for a while more when the housekeeper
returned with the gown.
Eyeing the gown, Rayna asked in confusion, “The gown I tried on back then was a long-sleeved,
champagne-colored, fishtail gown. Why have you brought a ck one instead?”
“Mr. Bruce said the gown was identally ruined by his assistant’s cat. This was the only gown in the
studio that fit your measurements, Ms. Rayna,” responded the housekeeper.
Displeased, Jefferson reprimanded, “That gown was tailored two months ago, and she really liked the
color and the design. How could he simply rece it with another gown when the original one is
ruined?”
The housekeeper hung her head in silence.
“Never mind. Let me have a look at the gown,” Rayna said, taking the outfit from her.
The entire gown was hand-stitched and had a narrow waist design. Not only did it have a plunging
neckline, but it was also backless. There was also a high slit that extended from the ankle to the thighs.
All in all, it was a grand gown that could show off the wearer’s excellent figure.
“Get Bruce over here!” Jefferson’s expression darkened the moment he saw the design.
“Understood.”
While the housekeeper had gone to fetch Bruce, Rayna was still examining the gown. “It’s a little
revealing, but the design is great. Bruce has so many outfits in his studio, so how could this be the only
one that fits my measurements?”
With that, she turned to Jefferson, whose expression turned grimmer when he understood what she
meant.
Soon, Bruce arrived. He immediately bowed before Jefferson and Rayna, apologizing about the original
gown and informing them there was no way she could wear that to the party since the cat tore the
fabric with its ws.
“Pick another gown closest to her measurements and alter it!” Jefferson ordered.
With a troubled expression, Bruce uttered, “There isn’t any. As you know, Ms. Lilia and the others are
very slim, so most of my designs are in smaller sizes. It would be better if I altered therger-sized
ones, but their colors and designs are all outdated. Besides, Ms. Rayna has gained a little weight. It’s
really impossible to alter the smaller-sized gowns.”
Rayna was at a loss for words when she heard his exnation.
“Then call up your friends and ask if they have any gowns avable. I’m going to fire you if you tell me
no again,” Jefferson spat.
At that, Bruce hurriedly pulled out his phone. “I’ll ask them now.”
After making a few phone calls by the window, he slowly walked over and said carefully, “There are two
studios that have many gowns that fit Ms. Rayna’s measurements, but—”
“Get them to send the gowns over, then!” Jefferson ordered with a frown.
“It’ll take at least thirty minutes to bring them from the nearest studio. There isn’t enough time, Mr.
Hamilton. The party’s admission time ends at eight-thirty,” Bruce exined softly.
At that instant, Jefferson almost lost his temper. Thankfully, Rayna stopped him, looking as calm as
ever. “All right. Don’t make things difficult for Mr. Bruce. It’s not like he didn’t think of a solution.”
Knowing what she was thinking, Jefferson voiced his rejection at once. “You can’t wear this! It’s too
revealing! Let’s check out the stores on our way there. I’m sure we can find a suitable gown.”
Rayna assured, “It’s fine. I’ll just wear this. We might not find one that fits my measurements if we go
gown-hunting in other stores. If we miss the admission time, we’ll be done for. Wait for me here while I
go get changed.”
When she walked past him, she whispered, “Don’t draw unnecessary attention.” With that, he
repressed his desire to rebuke Bruce further and stood there in silence.
In about ten minutes, Rayna reappeared in the gown.
The gown fitted her body perfectly. It unted her perfect curves, and her slender legs could sometimes
be seen from under the hem of the dress as she walked.
Her fair skin and sharp yetnguid gaze made her exude an alluring yet powerful aura.
She looked like a mighty queen as she descended the stairs.
The whole time, Jefferson was so mesmerized by her that he badly wanted to make her his exclusive
item.
When she finally reached downstairs, she smiled at Bruce and praised him. “Your craftsmanship is truly
amazing, Mr. Bruce. I feel like I’ve be much more sophisticated the moment I put on this gown.”
“Oh, you tter me. It’s your beauty that brings out the best of this gown, Ms. Rayna.”
“Thank you.”
After taking her handbag from the housekeeper, Rayna turned around and saw Jefferson still standing
there. Rapt, he gazed at her with his deadly attractive blue eyes.
Even so, she was not captivated by them, merely waving her hand at him. “Jefferson? It’s time to
leave.”
Only then did he snap out of his trance. After studying her a few more times, he blurted, “Belle, you…
you look really beautiful today.”
“So? Can we leave now? It’s reallyte.” Rayna waved her phone in the air.
“Yes. Let’s go.”
Hearing that, she stepped out of the house first.
When she turned around, Jefferson caught sight of her fair back, which was almostpletely
exposed.
Her beautiful shoulder des and slender waist wereid before him to feast his eyes on.
Right then, an intense emotion coursed through his veins. He marched over and quickly draped his
coat over her. At the same time, he told the housekeeper to bring a shawl that matched the color of the
gown.
Rayna said, “A shawl isn’t necessary. This is fine—”
“It’s not!” Jefferson cut her off. “There are too many people at the party. I’m afraid I can’t watch over
you. It’s either we get you a new gown, or you put on a shawl. No negotiations.”
He could not bear the thought of the guests seeing her delicate figure.
Worried they would bete to the party, Rayna had no choice but to go with thetter option.
Their transport was already waiting by the entrance. It was a Rolls-Royce luxury minivan, which
resembled a small house. After the duo got into the vehicle, the stylist began setting up Rayna’s hair.
In the meantime, Jefferson, sitting across from them, asionally took things for the stylist, though he
never looked away from Rayna.
When Rayna inadvertently shed a nce in his direction and met his unblinking stare, she could not
help but chuckle. “Hey, can’t you read magazines or something?”
“They’re not as attractive as you.” Jefferson’s tone was low and gentle, which brought a blush to her
face.
She cleared her throat and changed the topic to divert his attention. “I’ve negotiated with everyone on
the list, all except for Marcus. I’ll talk to him againter.”
He knew how tired she had been for the past few weeks, so he did not want her to rush about
anymore. “I’ll do that. What do you have in mind?”
