Dear Sweetheart Chapter 461
Chapter 461
It started to rain heavily when it was about five in the afternoon.
Even if the windows were installed with soundproofing rubber, Rayna could still hear the water droplets
pattering violently against the ss window.
She pulled open the curtains and looked outside the window. It was pitch dark outside, and she could
only see the lightsing out of the dining room.
It’s raining so heavily. When will it stop?
She had too much to eat that day, so much so that she didn’t have much appetite at night as well. She
even told the kitchen not to prepare anything for her when they called to ask. Then, she sent a text to
Carl and asked what was going on back home.
Carl replied that he was fine with the food that he was having, but he still preferred the food that Rayna
and Jasmine made. Then, he texted Rayna again, saying that he was fine with any food as long as it
was not prepared by Curtis.
Rayna was utterly amused.
She thought Curtis was a decent enough cook. Hence, she was curious why Carl seemed traumatized
by his cooking.
Carl sent another text: Ms. Rayna, my mommy has gone overseas for a long time. She hasn’t called
me since.
Rayna: Not even a text?
Carl: Yes, my calls always go into the mailbox. Could anything has happened to her?
Just when Rayna was about to reply to him, a sudden loud bang outside startled her. Her vision went
dark, and her phone slipped out of her hand.

The phone’s screen went ck after it hit the floor.
The curtains were drawn in the room. After her phone screen went dark, so did the room. Rayna
couldn’t see a single thing.
Fear crept up her skin right then. Rayna was crippled by the fear that a monster would suddenlye
out of the ground and devour her. She anxiously crouched down to feel for her phone but to no avail.
Thunder continued to roar outside. The lightning strikes were like lost souls wing for lives.
Rayna was so terrified that she dared not even try to look for her phone anymore. Instead, she tried to
reach for her bed.
After her legs touched the sides of the bedframe, she scrambled into her bed and pulled the covers
over her head.
Meanwhile, in the room opposite Rayna, Curtis was having a video conference.
Thunder crackled outside the window when he was just a few minutes into the meeting. The room was
plunged into darkness all of a sudden, save for the light emanating from Curtis’puter screen.
The person on the other end of the call was startled as well. “Mr. Faymon, did the electricity go out on
your side?”
“It’s all right. Myptop’s fully charged, and my inte is working as well.” Curtis switched on the
torchlight on his phone to illuminate the documents in front of him. The ckout didn’t affect his work at
all. “Go on.”
As the thunder continued to boom, Curtis’ thoughts fell into disarray. He suddenly thought about Rayna.
With the rumbling thunder and ckout, he wondered if she was fine.
He was ovee with worry. He put down the documents, said that it was gettingte, and told the
other person to continue with the meeting tomorrow. Then, he took his phone and headed outside.
It was pitch-ck outside his room as well. There was no light source except for the torchlight on his
phone. It seemed like there was no electricity in the whole area.
Curtis went up to Rayna’s door and knocked hard.
“Rayna, are you okay?”
A few seconds went by, and there was no answer from her. Curtis became anxious and called her on
the phone as he pounded on the door.
To his dismay, her phone was turned off.
He conjured a few gruesome scenarios in his head, one of which was that she was bathing when the
electricity suddenly went out. Then, as she stumbled and fell, she knocked her head on the bathtub and
bled profusely.
He became more and more apprehensive with the thought in mind and couldn’t wait to confirm if she
was all right.
Curtis took a few steps back and shone his phone light on her door before kicking it down with a bang.
He swiftly entered the room after the door was down. Curtis searched every room and shouted,
“Rayna, where are you?”
When he opened the door to the second room, he finally heard Rayna’s shaky voice, mumbling
something almost inaudible.
“I-I’m h-here…”
Curtis shone his lights into the room and at the bed.
That was when he noticed the bulged-up and shaky sheets. It was not difficult to picture just how
petrified the person under the covers was.
Not long after, Rayna fell asleep with Curtis’fort.
The next day, a series of banging sounded on the door.
She opened her eyes groggily and looked in the sound’s direction. It turned out that someone was
knocking hard on the door.
She could clearly hear the noise as her earplugs had fallen off.
“Who’s there?” Rayna asked loudly while she got out of bed and put on her slippers.
Just then, she seemed to have recalled something and turned to look at the vacant space on the bed
next to her. She did not notice when Curtis left.
Rayna yawned as she walked toward the bedroom door before opening it without much thought.
ire, Vivi’s mother-inw, was standing at the door.
Rayna wondered why the woman was looking for her that early in the morning. ire’s face contorted
with rage when she saw Rayna and lunged at her before Rayna could speak.
“Return my grandchildren to me! How can a youngdy like you be so evil?”
As Rayna waspletely unprepared for the assault, she almost lost her bnce and fell.
She quickly put a hand against the door to steady herself while using her other hand to block her face,
guarding herself against ire’s continuous attacks. “Mdm. Myers, why are you hitting me? Why are
you asking me to return your grandchildren to you? What do you mean by that?”
“Stop pretending!” ire bellowed hysterically while throwing punches at Rayna. “My daughter-inw
had a miscarriage after finishing the duck stew you had given her!”
