Dear Sweetheart Chapter 404
Chapter 404
With a gentle look in his eyes, Jefferson caressed her cheek and said, “I will respect your decision no
matter what you choose to do. Also, you’re currently married into the Ternc family, so why would you
need a monthly allowance?”
“You’re right. I am helping you out with your work, so I’m not a freeloader. If your father ever gives me
jewelry and stuff, I’ll keep them and sell them off when they’re high in demand.”
Jefferson let out a faint chuckle. “Sure thing.”
After lunch, Jefferson kept Raynapany as she went for a walk around the hospital. The two of
them then headed over to the mall as Rayna needed to buy some loose-fitting clothes.
It was already five in the evening by the time they returned to the manor.
“Is my father home?” Jefferson asked the housekeeper when he didn’t see Boniel’s shoes at the door.
“Old Mr. Ternc called earlier this afternoon. He said he wouldn’t being home today because he
needs to keep Mr. Montailpany at the hospital. He wants you and Ms. Rayna to look after the
manor while he’s gone,” the housekeeper replied with her head held low.
Jefferson nodded. “Got it.”
“Would you two like to have dinner? The chef prepared some Chanaean dishes today,” the
housekeeper asked.
Although Rayna had eaten beforeing home, she felt hungry after hearing what the housekeeper
said. “Yes, please. Tell the chef to prepare Mr. Montail and Old Mr. Ternc’s favorite dishes and have
them delivered to the hospital.”
“Understood.”
Jefferson waited until the housekeeper had left before asking, “Didn’t you just have two hamburgers,
four drumsticks, and a bowl of mushroom soup? How are you hungry so soon?”

“It’s not me who’s hungry. It’s them. I’ve got three mouths to feed, remember?” Rayna replied with an
awkward smile.
The two of them were sitting in the living room while waiting for dinner to be served.
“Arnaud may have lost an arm, but he gained something out of it. Just look at how worried your father
is. He’s even staying over at the hospital just to keep himpany! I bet Arnaud would put up a pitiful
act once he wakes up. That way, he’d be able to ask your father for more money or something,” Rayna
said to Jefferson while munching on some juicy grapes.
“It’s fine! As you said, my father loves me the most. He secretly makes sure that I receive my share of
whatever he gives Arnaud. Besides, Arnaud isn’t the only one who can put up a pitiful act!” Jefferson
replied with a chuckle.
Rayna let out a sigh. “I’m just really worried about James.”
Putting Arnaud’s men aside, Boniel would surely pursue this matter now that his son had been severely
injured.
“Don’t you know what your brother is capable of? I’ll have Ringo continue searching for him,” Jefferson
reassured her.
Rayna nodded, seemingly trying tofort herself. “Yeah, you’re right. He must’ve had everything
nned out ahead of time. I bet he’ll be on the ne home a few dayster!”
She then handed Jefferson a te of oranges and continued, “Could you help me peel these oranges?
My nails are too short.”
“You’ve just finished a te of grapes, though. Are you sure you’ll have room for dinner?” Jefferson
asked.
“Of course I will! My stomach is still empty here!”
Rayna was a lot more careful after finding out that she was pregnant with triplets. She even had to
keep it a secret from the housekeepers just to be on the safe side.
As Boniel had been looking after Arnaud in the hospital throughout the next few days, most of the
housekeepers were on leave. Rayna then used that opportunity to go for a walk in the garden with
Jefferson.
One day, Rayna noticed some nts that had yet to flower.
“What do you have nted here? Why haven’t these nts flowered?” she asked curiously.
Jefferson shot her a meaningful nce. “You’re the one who nted them. Don’t you remember?”
“But I haven’t done any gardening after moving here…” That was when Rayna recalled something and
stared wide-eyed at him in shock. Jefferson simply nodded in response.
“You moved the green roses from Frosa all the way here? That must’ve been a lot of work! You could
just nt new ones here if you liked them that much!” Rayna eximed with a smile.
Jefferson shook his head and replied seriously, “We nted those green roses together and watched
them grow. It simply wouldn’t be the same if I nted new ones here.”
Rayna didn’t know what else to say in response to that. “Oh, all right. You’ve already moved them here
anyway.”
Jefferson pointed at a patch of soil and asked, “Do you like baby’s-breath? The soil over there has
been loosened up, so all we have to do is buy the seeds and nt them. They’ll grow really quickly
once the weather gets warmer.”
“Don’t just nt flowers! nt some citrus trees or something. They can keep mosquitoes out, and we
can eat the fruits when they ripen! Isn’t that so much better?” Rayna eximed excitedly.
“Sure thing. I’ll have the housekeeper buy the seeds tomorrow,” Jefferson replied with a smile.
I’ll get you anything you like.
The two of them spent the afternoonzing around in the garden having tea and snacks.
Rayna seemed to have a craving for oranges and kept eating them uncontrobly.
Fearing that she would get an upset stomach, Jefferson had the housekeepers hide the rest of the
oranges and tell Rayna that they had run out.
While making their way back to the main building, they saw a car pull up in the open-air parking lot.
“Isn’t that the car your father often uses?” Rayna asked when she saw the license te.
Jefferson nodded and replied with an expressionless look on his face, “I’m guessing he brought Arnaud
home.”
“Since we’ve already bumped into them, we might as well go say hi,” Rayna suggested.
Boniel and Arnaud had just stepped out of the car when the two of them made their way over.
“What are you two doing here?” Boniel asked in surprise.
“Calbert and I were just on our way back from the garden when he saw your car pull up. He said he
wanted toe say hi,” Rayna replied with a faint smile.
She then shifted her gaze toward Arnaud, who was wearing a beige dress shirt and ck dress pants.
The right sleeve of his shirt was empty, but that didn’t stop him from maintaining a graceful smile on his
face.
Heh… I knew it! Boniel must’ve given Arnaud plenty of things in secret while taking care of him in the
hospital!
Jefferson frowned slightly in displeasure but stepped forward to greet them anyway.
“Wee home, Dad, Arnaud.”
Boniel nodded. “Come on, let’s head inside.”
The four of them then got into the buggy with Jefferson at the wheel and the rest in the back seat.
There was a vicious glint in Arnaud’s eyes as he stared at Rayna from the seat across hers.
“Calbert told me what happened at the party, Mr. Montail. We wanted to go visit you at the hospital, but
we didn’t want to disturb you while you were recovering. How are you doing?” she asked while meeting
his gaze.
Arnaud shed her a faint smile as he replied, “I’m doing fine, of course! There are plenty of
housekeepers in the manor to look after me, so I don’t have to worry about a thing.”
“That may be true, but you do own apany. I’m sure you’d have to drop by your office every now
and then, right? I have a friend who sells prosthetics. Apparently, he has somehow obtained top-secret
technology from Dartan. The prosthetics he produces are almost like the real thing. I could give him a
call if you’d like,” Rayna said in a soft voice.
Arnaud’s face clouded over when he heard that.
How dare she insult me in front of everyone?
He clenched his teeth and replied with a vicious look in his eyes, “Much appreciated, Ms. Gand! I’ll
be sure to return the favor someday!”
