Dear Sweetheart Chapter 566


    Chapter 566


    Rayna hurriedly wiped her mouth with a piece of napkin and stammered, “Y-You wanted to sleep with


    him?”


    “No! No!” Kristie refuted. “I’m afraid of the dark! That was why I asked him to guard me while I slept!


    Don’t talk nonsense, you little brat!”


    With that, she pulled Carl’s ear.


    Carl yelped in pain before saying aggrievedly, “You could’ve just switched on the lights, no? You aren’t


    making sense, Aunt Kristie!”


    “Shut up!” Kristie red at him. “If you keep talking, I’m going to choke you!”


    Hearing that, Carl quickly moved away.


    Seeing that Rayna was still staring at her, Kristie felt embarrassed. She stomped her feet and


    comined, “Why are you staring at me? Do you think I’m into him?”


    Rayna asked tentatively, “Then why did you—”


    “No way!” Kristie retorted, shooting James a side nce. “He’s so old and ugly! Besides, he’s just a


    bodyguard! How could he ever be worthy of me?”


    Rayna wanted to defend her brother, but she didn’t know what to say. She could only nce at James


    pitifully.


    As a matter of fact, there was nothing she could do to help James.


    James, on the other hand, didn’t say anything throughout their conversation. Instead, he pulled himself


    a chair and sat down to watch them eat.


    At around eight in the evening, James wanted to bring Kristie away, so he said to Rayna, “I’ll bring her


    home to rest. Since Mr. York is in the hospital, you should be fine, right, Rayna?”


    “Huh?” Kristie was stumped. Why did he address Rayna so? She then forgot about the fact that James


    was holding her hand when she grumbled, “Why did you address Rayna by her name?”


    James quickly came to his senses and replied calmly, “I talk fast, so you must’ve heard it wrong.”


    Thinking that she didn’t hear him wrongly, Kristie said, “But I heard—”


    Rayna interrupted her by saying, “Kristie, you’ve been staying in the hospital all this while. You need


    some rest. Go home, okay?”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “I don’t want to go home!” Kristie pouted. “Can’t I just stay here with you and Carl?”


    Rayna waved dismissively. “Listen to me. You cane over again tomorrow morning.”


    “All right, then. I’ll bring Ms. Winton home now.” James pulled Kristie out of the ward.


    Kristie only realized that James had been holding onto her hand after exiting the ward. His palm is so


    warm, and I’m getting a weird feeling.


    She yanked her hand out of his grip. “W-We’re going back, but can you please stay away from me?”


    Kristie distanced herself from him while mumbling something to herself.


    James was at a loss for words. I haven’t pissed her off recently, right? Why is she acting this way?


    Usually, Kristie would sit in the passenger seat. When she went back with James that evening,


    however, she sat in the back. She would always talk to him back then, but she kept to herself that


    evening.


    James noticed all the changes in her behavior as he drove in silence.


    After arriving at the condominium, James prepared some fruits and brought them to the living room for


    Kristie. When he saw that she was on her phone and ignoring him, he asked patiently, “What’s the


    matter with you, Ms. Winton?”


    “I’m perfectly fine.” Kristie kept her head lowered and her eyes on her phone.


    James frowned and sat next to her before snatching her phone. “You’ve been avoiding me sincest


    week. You aren’t even talking to me. How have I upset you?”


    “I just don’t want to talk to you! What’s wrong with that? Give me back my phone!”


    When Kristie reached out toward the phone, James lifted his arm into the air. The moment she stood


    up, he also rose to his feet at once. In the end, she couldn’t even reach his arm.


    Kristie grew frustrated due to the huge difference in height. She stomped her feet and red at him.


    “What are you trying to do?”


    “Tell me, how have I upset you? I can change.” James stared at her intently. “Don’t keep avoiding me


    and shutting me out.”


    Kristie’s heart jolted when her eyes met James’. Averting her gaze as quickly as she could, she


    muttered, “I don’t need you to change. I’ll just ask Curt to find another bodyguard for me. Please leave.”


    James was stunned. “What have I done wrong? Why are you getting rid of me?”


    “You’ve done everything wrong!” Kristie shouted angrily. “All you need to know is that I don’t need you


    anymore. Pack up and leave!”


    James noticed how worked up she was, but instead of arguing with her, he said, “Ms. Winton, even if


    Mr. Faymon could find you another bodyguard, he wouldn’t be able to find someone as impressive as


    me. Besides, I’m a great cook.”


    After a pause, he asked, “Ms. Winton, are you shunning me because you find me old and ugly?”


    Kristie kept mum and stared at the wall.


    Based on her behaviors, James knew that was a silent agreement to his words.


    He wanted to say something, but there was nothing he could say. He could only heave a sigh inwardly.


    A few secondster, he gave the phone back to Kristie and said, “It’s all right. I understand now. Still,


    Ms. Winton, I’m not leaving. If you don’t wish to see me again, I’ll stop appearing in front of you. When I


    apany you to the hospital, I’ll cover myself uppletely so that you won’t see my face.”


    Kristie didn’t take her phone. She grumbled, “Why are you so annoying? Why can’t you just be a


    bodyguard? Why are you always minding my business? Also, why must you cook so well? I’m not


    deliberately trying to get rid of you. It’s just that I think I might’ve fallen for you.” She sniffled and


    continued in an aggrieved tone, “How can I fall for you? I have a boyfriend…”


    Although she had never seen that boyfriend of hers, she had always thought she would wait for her


    boyfriend to show up after talking on the phone with him. However, she found herself wavering.


    Before she said all that, James had felt horrible because he had thought she was disgusted by his


    looks.


    Upon knowing that she was only chasing him away because she was falling for him, he was amused.


    “So, are you chasing me away because you’ve fallen for me? It’s not because you detest me?”


    “Shut up! Don’t say those words out loud again!” Kristie wanted to tape up his mouth so badly. “Now


    that you know the truth, you’re over the moon, aren’t you? I must be blind. Why must I fall for someone


    like you? You’re so much older than me, and you aren’t even a looker!”


    James couldn’t help but chuckle at that. While wiping her tears away with his fingers, he said, “I’m so


    happy to hear that you’ve fallen for me. I’m grateful that you’re still waiting for me. I like you too,


    Kristie.”


    “Dream on! You’re not worthy of me!” Kristie pped his hand away and held back her tears. “You’re


    not allowed to fall for me. I have a boyfriend, and I want to wait for him.”


    “That doesn’t matter. After all, he’s not in Norwal City.” James was overjoyed when he teased, “It’s not


    like he can see us being together. You can always break up with him when hees back.”


    “Why are you so mean?” Kristie red at him. “Put yourself in his shoes, will you? What if I cheat on


    you when you’re away? Would you feel nice?”


    James wouldn’t mind that one bit because he was the boyfriend she was talking about.


    “What should we do then, Ms. Winton?” James lowered his head and inched toward her. He then used


    his hoarse and seductive voice when he said, “I like you, Ms. Winton. I can’t wait to be with you.”
