Dear Sweetheart Chapter 446
Chapter 446
Ste stared at Rayna, still visibly shocked.
She saw Rayna speak to a woman in the shop. Rayna then kissed the woman on the cheek and left
the shop while saying, “Mom, you go back and make the sweet soup first. I’ll go over to your house a
littleter to have it.”
Ste watched as Rayna approached the elevator. She spun around and hid behind a nearby
advertising column.
Very stealthily, Ste peeked out from behind.
She noticed Rayna was wearing a pair of light brown ts and walking in a very careful manner. When
Rayna got into the elevator, she even ced her hand on the handrail.
Ste’s gaze soon turned serious as she began to suspect something.
It’s not a working day, and Rayna is dressed casually. She’s wearing ts, walking very carefully… She
must be pregnant!
Is it Curtis’s child?
If the child truly belonged to Curtis, Ste wondered why Curtis seemed to be as calm as ever when he
went about his day-to-day affairs. She also learned from Gabriel that Curtis rarely interacted with
Rayna.
Is there some kind of misunderstanding between them? Did Rayna not inform Curtis about her
pregnancy?
A woman’s mind was naturally quite delicate.
After mulling over this for a while, she arrived at the conclusion that something did happen between
Curtis and Rayna.
As such, Rayna did not tell Curtis she was pregnant.
“I’m d that the misunderstanding urred. Otherwise, I can’t act,” muttered Ste after letting out a
sigh of relief.
If Curtis knew about the child, he would definitely try to patch things up with Rayna.
A whileter, Ste raised her head and nced at the shop.
Gabriel was quite busy today. When he found out that Ste had to drop off some documents, he
asked her to help deliver something.
If not for the chance encounter today, Ste would not have known that the owner of the shop was
Rayna’s mother.
As Ste lugged the item with her into the store, she saw a woman dressed in purplee into the
shop and say something to Linda. They both seemed to be well acquainted.
This made Ste arch a brow.
She remembered that when Gabriel returned to Faymon Group, he had received a call and then ran to
a parked car to speak to the person inside. It seemed to be the same woman from before.
When Ste tried to enquire about the woman’s identity, Gabriel merely told her she was a client of
Faymon Group.
Would a client of Faymon Group be so well acquainted with Rayna’s mother?
Just as Ste thought about this, she had already reached the entrance to the shop.
Quickly, she shed her most polite smile and approached Linda. “May I know if you are Mrs.
Gand?”
Linda nced at her curiously and replied, “Yes. Do you need something?”
“I’m Ste Zink, and I work at Faymon Group,” Ste introduced herself and handed over the parcel in
her hands. “Mr. Tylinski is busy today. He asked me to deliver this to you.”
“I already told him that this was unnecessary, but he insisted on having this delivered. Thank you for
your trouble,” said Linda with a sigh. “You must be tired. Wait here while I get you something to drink.”
Ste had not nned on leaving so soon. She smiled and replied, “I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“It’s no trouble at all.”
Linda waved her hand at Ste and quickly brought her a cup of warm water.
Ste thanked her but did not drink any.
She looked around and then at the side dishes on the shelves. “I shop at Obelisk Mall quite often and
have heard good things about your side dishes and house-brewed wine. I’ve been meaning to
purchase some for myself, but the shop is always too crowded when I’m around.”
Linda replied, “I have set aside some for my daughter, but she won’t be joining me for dinner tonight. I’ll
go get it for you.”
“No, no, no. I can’t possibly ept it!” said Ste hurriedly.
However, Linda had already packed up the side dishes and handed them over to Ste. “It’s no big
deal. After all, you’ve worked hard to deliver the item to me.”
Upon realizing that she could not refuse, Ste epted the gift after thanking Linda. She then said,
“You’re amazing, Mrs. Gand! The fact that you’re able to secure such a good location for your shop
at Obelisk Mall and have such a brisk business is no small feat.”
“I’m nowhere near as capable. It was my daughter who arranged everything for me.”
Upon deliberation, Ste asked, “Mrs. Gand, is your daughter named Rayna by any chance? Did she
work at Faymon Group as well?”
Linda looked at Ste with a surprised expression on her face. “Why yes, she is. You know my
daughter?”
“What a coincidence!” replied Ste with a smile. “The previous manager for my position was none
other than Ms. Gand. You see, Mr. Tylinski and I used to be ssmates. He’s well-acquainted with
Ms. Gand, and that’s how I got to know her as well.”
“That is a coincidence indeed. It’s such a shame that you’ve only just arrived. She had to rush off to the
office,” Linda said.
Ste took a sip of water. In her gentlest voice, she said, “It’s okay. Ms. Gand’s current ce of work
is also in the financial district. I can always ask her out for a meal if she’s avable since she’s not too
far away. I heard that Ms. Gand’spany is releasing a new product. She must be busy with the
launch right now.”
“That’s right. My daughter works so hard.” The very mention of this made Linda’s heart ache. “She
went abroad for a few months for something, and she’s been running around like mad since she came
home. She doesn’t even have the time toe home for dinner!”
“Is she really that busy?” Ste frowned. “Does Mr. Hamilton not care about his girlfriend?”
Despite her mumbling, Linda managed to catch the word “Mr. Hamilton.”
“You mean to say that my Belle is dating this Mr. Hamilton person?”
Ste pretended to look as if she had said something wrong and smiled apologetically at Linda. “I’m
sorry, Mrs. Gand. This isn’t news to our circle. I figured that Ms. Gand would’ve told you by now.”
“Who is Mr. Hamilton?” asked Linda again.
“He’s the new CEO of thepany Ms. Gand is working at right now. He’s of mixed ethnicity.” Ste
nced at Linda. “I think they got together when she was abroad, but she never made the news
public.”
Linda’s expression changed drastically, and she could not help but look at Xandra.
Of course, Linda had no say in who Rayna chose to date.
However, given that Rayna’s future mother-inw was present, Linda found the situation quite
embarrassing.
Ste assumed that Linda was embarrassed by the outsiders hearing about her family’s personal
affairs.
Her eyes flickered as she feigned a casual tone. “I also heard some gossip from others about how Mr.
Hamilton and Mr. Faymon share a mother, but I’m not sure of what Ms. Gand makes of this.”
“Huh?” Linda’s eyes looked as though they were about to pop out from their sockets.
Rayna had said nothing about Jefferson and Curtis’ rtionship. Coincidentally, Xandra also avoided
discussing that part of her past and chose to remain silent.
Linda waspletely blindsided by this information since she was not privy to it at all. She found this
absolutely shocking to hear.
She wanted to fish out her phone and call Rayna to ask her for rification.
A few secondster, she remembered that Curtis’ mother was right there. There was no need for her to
make the call.
Linda nced at Xandra. “Xandra, do… you have another son?”
What?
When Ste noticed Linda asking Xandra this after taking her words into consideration, Ste smiled
very gently.
“No,” said Xandra coldly.
This immediately shook Ste out of her stupor. “I’m sorry,” said Ste apologetically. “I didn’t know that
—”
“There’s no need to be so cunning at such a young age,” replied Xandra curtly, interrupting her. “Don’t
pretend to address Mrs. Gand so respectfully and spit on her hospitality by saying such awful
things.”
“I’ve never had such thoughts,” replied Ste humbly. “I’ve definitely said something I shouldn’t have.”
