Dear Sweetheart Chapter 445
Chapter 445
From Linda’s conversation with Xandra, Rayna realized that the two had been friends for a while. They
would always go out for afternoon tea and beauty treatments together. In fact, Linda learned many of
her good habits from Xandra.
Since Xandra had learned embroidery, she decided to help Linda with embroidering Rayna’s wedding
dress. With simr hobbies, Xandra and Linda quickly became close friends.
Rayna had mixed feelings when she listened to the two chatting away. Xandra is helping Mom
embroider my wedding dress, thinking that I’m going to marry Curtis, but he and I are no longer
together. I wonder how she’ll feel when I wear it to marry another man.
When Linda saw that they had a guest, she decided to greet them herself since the other woman was
busy with the chores, leaving Xandra alone with Rayna.
Xandra took Linda’s seat and hesitated for a while before finally asking, “I heard that you and Curtis
broke up. Is that… true?”
“We broke up before Christmas,” replied Rayna with a nod.
“I thought you two were doing fine. Was Curtis not good to you?” asked Xandra somewhat anxiously.
Rayna tried her best to force a smile. “That’s not it. We broke up peacefully because we weren’t right
for each other. Don’t me him. If anything, I should be the one to take the me.” My insistence on
going my own way led to the ruin of our rtionship. I tried my best to save it, but there wasn’t much I
could do since Curtis wouldn’t have me.
Xandra sighed sadly after listening to Rayna. “Ms. Gand, I’m sure you know I’ve never been at
Curtis’ side since he was young, but he grew up just fine. Like his father, he’s capable and dependable.
I like you too, so I hope he can build a lovely family of his own.”
“Don’t worry. Curtis is an exceptional man. I’m sure he won’t have any problem getting a girlfriend.”
Rayna then decided to change the topic because she did not feel good talking about Curtis. “Did you
divorce Mr. Verlice?”
Xandra’s face immediately darkened. “No. I returned to Jetroina a month ago to tell him about my past
and requested nothing but a divorce. However, he did not agree to it. He even threatened me with my
daughter. I’m grateful that he saved me. However, whenever I think of how he could’ve restored my
memory but chose to keep me by his side to marry him and give birth to our baby, I’d hate him for it. If
he doesn’t agree to the divorce, I’ll just move to Norwal City. There’s no way I’d ept our daughter.”
Rayna was relieved when she heard Xandra say that. Naomi, who’s Jefferson’s step-sister since they
share the same mother but have different fathers, stayed with Arnaud. There’d be trouble if Xandra
decided to side with Naomi. Luckily, that’s not the case.
Rayna scrutinized Xandra’s face. Even though Xandra had had stic surgery because of her
disfigurement, her soft eyes and graceful demeanor remained attractive and unaffected by her age.
Rayna supposed Boniel would still be captivated by Xandra if he saw the woman.
When Rayna remembered how lifeless Jefferson seemed the day she went to Hallsbay in the rain, her
heart broke. “I know you hate Boniel because he was responsible for ruining your life. However, that’s
all on Boniel. Jefferson is innocent. You shouldn’t take your anger out on him.”
“He’s innocent?” Xandra chuckled bitterly. “What did I do to deserve this? If I hadn’t been pregnant with
him, I could’ve escaped that ce.”
A glint shed across Rayna’s eyes as she spoke in a lowered voice. “If he had a choice, he wouldn’t
want to be born into this world had he known that you didn’t want him. Besides, you’ve already
punished him.”
After pausing for a while, she continued, “I didn’t go overseas for so long because of work; I was
looking for a cure for him. He’s unwell and has only a few months left to live.”
Xandra’s expression remained unchanged as she responded somewhat indifferently, “Curtis is the only
son I have.”
“I know.” Rayna reached out to hold Xandra’s hands. “I’m not asking you to forgive him; I just hope you
can hate him less. If you meet him someday, don’t hurt him with your words.”
With theboratory destroyed and the medicines gone, Rayna was unsure how long Jefferson could
last. She knew the man longed for his mother and hoped Xandra would treat him better.
“Why do you keep defending him? Do you have feelings for him?” asked Xandra while staring
expectantly at Rayna.
“Yes, I used to.” Smiling bitterly, Rayna did not try to hide the truth. “If nothing else, I have terrible luck.
What are the odds that my ex-boyfriend would turn out to be my ex-fiancé’s brother? It’s even more
unlikely than winning the lottery.”
“You two used to be together?” Xandra was stunned.
Rayna nodded. “Yeah. He helped me a lot. I wouldn’t be where I am now without him, so I just want to
do whatever I can to repay him.”
Xandra took a while before she regained her senses. “Did you break up with Curtis because of him?”
“No. Curtis and I just weren’t right for each other,” replied Rayna amusedly. “If I really did get back
together with Jefferson, I wouldn’t have returned here. It wouldn’t be a good idea to let Mr. Faymon see
us, would it?”Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Seeing how Rayna was not trying to hide anything, Xandra was convinced that she had nothing to do
with Jefferson. She nodded understandingly. “I’ll stop hating him for your sake, but he’s got to stop
appearing before me. I’m worried I’ll scold him again when I recall the past.”
“Thank you,” uttered Rayna before finally smiling.
Right then, she received a call from E. She excused herself and went aside to take it. “What is it?”
“Where are you, Ms. Gand?” asked E tremblingly. “Mr. Faymon is at the office right now. Please
hurry back.”
“Huh?” After checking the time and realizing that it was already past five o’clock, Rayna could not help
wondering what was going on. “Why is he at the office at this hour? Don’t tell me that Faymon Group
has acquired Glory Corporation.”
“No, that’s not it. Mr. Faymon said that since Faymon Group has partnered up with Glory and will be
receiving half of the profit from the product sales, he wants to see the progress of the new product
announcement.”
“As if!” Rayna got so upset that she could curse at the man. She had only decided to add the condition
of the fifty-fifty split on the contract Gabriel handed to her because she did not want to be taken
advantage of. However, little did she expect the team Faymon Group sent over to bepletely
useless. How dare that man act as though he’s actually an equal partner? Why would he inspect us at
this hour? Does he have nothing else better to do?
“Mr. Fayman said he’d wait for you and that the meeting would start when you get back,” stated the
assistant helplessly.
Only after a while did Rayna manage to swallow her curses for Curtis. She responded through gritted
teeth, “Okay. I’ll be backter.”
That man ruined my n for the day! Rayna was about to inform Linda after cursing inwardly when her
babies suddenly kicked her from inside and almost caused her to lose her bnce.
Rayna’s heart was racing as she held on to the door frame for support with one hand and ced the
other on her belly.
After regaining her bnce, she patted her belly softly and rebuked, “So what if I scolded him? Are you
guys trying to avenge him by kicking me? Now behave yourselves!”
Ste, who took the elevator up, just so happened to hear Rayna’s words.
With her eyes narrowed, she saw Rayna’s lips moving as if the woman was scolding someone. Her
pupils immediately shrank when she lowered her gaze and noticed thefortable and loose clothes
Rayna wore. Is she… pregnant?
