Dear Sweetheart Chapter 420
Chapter 420
“Maybe he doesn’t know you’re working for Glory now,” Jasmine remarked while suddenly ncing
behind Rayna. “I was just about to suggest asking Curtis, but who would’ve thought he’d be here too?
What a coincidence!”
What?
Rayna froze briefly as Jasmine called out with a wave, “Curtis!”
The sound of footsteps nearing quickly followed.
Not daring to turn her head, she could even vaguely sense the man’s chilling aura as he walked in.
“Have a seat!” Jasmine pointed to a chair nearby. “You’re dining here too?”
Curtis sat down on Rayna’s right and nodded. “I came here with a client. We just finished talking
business. I’ll get Gabriel to foot your bill after this.”
“Thanks for that.” Jasmine smiled faintly. “Rayna and I just so happen to be here for a business talk
too.”
Curtis shot the woman next to him a nce. “What business?”
“Don’t you know? She’s working for Glory now,” Jasmine responded on Rayna’s behalf. “She did give
Faymon Group a call before this, but you guys didn’te to an agreement. That’s why the project has
fallen into Sanders Group’s hands.”
“You’re with Glory now?” Curtis turned to Rayna with a frown. “If training is what you want, you can
choose any toppany. Glory is way too small. You won’t get anywhere working there.”
Given that he barely paid attention to what was happening in the circle, he waspletely unaware
that Rayna had joined Glory.
“I’m a free woman. I go wherever I want to. Am I supposed to report every single thing I do to you?” the
woman replied coldly. “And so what if it’s a smallpany? I like that! You may not want to work with
small firms, but that doesn’t mean you should look down on us. Everypany starts small.”
“I’m not looking down on smallpanies. I’m just describing the truth that Glory is way too small to
make it,” Curtis insisted helplessly. “I would’ve lent you some help if I’d known it was you who called.”
The fire within Rayna’s heart was instantly set aze by his words, and she stood up immediately.
“It’s fine. Clearly, a smallpany like Glory means nothing to you. I’m now working with Sanders
Group, anyway, so please step aside, Mr. Faymon. Let me pass through.”
The man didn’t budge.
Seeing the two at a stalemate, Jasmine hurriedly chimed in, “Curtis, Rayna and I still have plenty to
discuss, so could you please leave us be for now? You can talk another day.”
It was only after she had repeated herself three times that Curtis finally rose to his feet. The moment he
stepped aside, Rayna brushed her shoulder against his and walked away in a huff as though she
loathed seeing him.
Frustration swirled within the man as he watched the two women leave together.
“Curtis has so much on his te that he isn’t caught up on thetest news in the circle. He really had
no idea you’re with Glory now,” Jasminemented after getting into the car. “Faymon Group is a lot
better than Sanders Group when ites to nning, so I think you should talk to him to borrow some
manpower.”
“I’m not doing that. I’ve already signed the agreement with you!”
“It doesn’t count if you go back on your word. Besides, why are you getting so worked up with him while
you’re pregnant—”
Suddenly, Rayna red at her. “Do you not want a daughter-inw anymore?”
“Forget everything I just said.” Jasmine surrendered immediately. “So, are we going to the Lopez
residence now or?”
“Let’s go get a couple of hamburgers first. I’m hungry again.”
Then, Rayna called E to inform her that she wouldn’t be heading back to the office, so anything that
needed to be done would be taken care of the next day instead.
After eating, she made her way to the Lopez residence with Jasmine.
Pam had just returned from the beauty center and bumped into Rayna’s car outside.
“Rayna? What are you two doing here?”
Wyatt had introduced Rayna and Jasmine to her during Gerald’s funeral, so she recognized both
women instantly.
“Hello, Mrs. Lopez,” Rayna greeted politely. “We’vee to see you since we have some free time.”
Pam beamed. “That’s so kind of you to remember me.”
She then led them into the house.
While entering the hall, Rayna noted that there were no other women’s shoes aside from Pam’s.
After taking a seat on the couch, she began to strike up a conversation with Pam while having some
coffee.

“Where’s Jessie, Mrs. Lopez?”
“It seems like she’s been tasked with some work overseas.” The older women appeared concerned at
the mention of this and sighed. “I told Wyatt to bring her back home because I’m worried about her
having a hard time while she’s pregnant, but he told me to stay out of it and that she’de back on
her own. My son is just terrible at caring for others. Whoever he ends up with has to be the unluckiest
person in the world.”
Rayna and Jasmine exchanged nces.
“Jessie has gone abroad? Since when?” the former asked calmly.
“It’s been over three months. I’m so worried that she has no one looking after her there,” Pam
answered. “By the way, don’t you and her live together? Have you not been in touch while she’s
abroad?”
“I’ve been pretty busy the past few months, so I haven’t really contacted her.” Rayna’s grip on her
coffee mug tightened as she spoke. “I thought she’s been taking care of herself and the baby here.”
“I’m not sure if it’s because she’s been so busy, but her number’s been unreachable all this while. If you
manage to contact her, could you tell her toe back? It must be so hard working abroad. Lopez
Group isn’t small, so it’s not like we expect her to make a living. It’s not good for the baby if she
stresses herself out over work.”
Rayna nodded in response, concealing her true emotions. “I understand.”
After talking for a while longer, she and Jasmine bid Pam goodbye.
Both young women looked slightly grim as they left the Lopez residence.
“I’ve heard about Jessie approaching Wyatt from Theodore.” Jasmine spoke up first. “He said he’s
already told Wyatt about this long ago. Do you think this is Wyatt’s way of getting even with her?”
“Wyatt knows about it?” Rayna was stunned. “When did he find out?”
“Not long after you left the country,” Jasmine responded, looking perplexed. “But there was nothing
unusual about him during that time. I heard he seemed perfectly normal, but his personality took a
complete turn on the day after his birthday.”
Rayna suddenly recalled something upon hearing that. “Actually, Jessie gave me a call on his birthday.
She said she was going to tell him about her pregnancy. Do you think they ended up…”
“Are you suggesting that they got into a fight?” asked Jasmine. “Why would they? Is it because Wyatt
doesn’t want the kid? Or is it because Jessie caught him with other women?”
Rayna furrowed her brows. “Would he not want his own child?”
“It’s hard to tell.” Jasmine sighed. “A prodigal son wouldn’t be able to turn over a new leaf so easily.
Maybe he sees marriage as a burden, or he doesn’t like children. Besides, it doesn’t help that Jessica
killed his dad indirectly.”
Rayna subconsciously ced a hand on her belly upon hearing that.
While recalling Jefferson’s words from before along with what Jasmine had just said, she couldn’t help
but wonder what Curtis would do if he were to find out that she was pregnant. Would he not want the
babies too?
“Don’t think too much about this,” Jasmine assured as soon as she noticed the former’s subtle
movements. “Curtis is different, and I’m sure you know what kind of person he is. I bet he’d be so
excited that he’d lose sleep if he found out that you’re pregnant.”
Yet, Rayna evaded the subject. “I’m more concerned about Jessie right now. What if Wyatt’s done
something to her after they had a fight? I’m going to stop by Lopez Group and talk to him.”
Jasmine wanted to tag along but couldn’t after receiving an urgent call from work.
With that, Rayna dropped her off at Sanders Group.
“Theodore’s been in Xyperia for quite a few months now. I’m really worried about him, so I’ll be flying
over there to see him after taking care of things here. Please watch over Carl for me while I’m away.”
