Dear Sweetheart Chapter 617
Chapter 617
“Yes, we will always be fine.” Not only was it Curtis’ belief but also the ultimate direction of his ns.
From his perspective, the hardships between him and Rayna had passed, so blessings awaited them.
“I think so too.” In his embrace, his wife lifted her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling with joy.
When the couple returned to the Faymon residence from Beryl Pavilion, the help at home was serving
dinner.
Rayna walked over to the dining table. At the sight of the tableful of dishes, she rubbed her stomach
resignedly and turned to Curtis, who followed closely behind her. “I ate a lot with Jasmine and Kristie
today. The food hadn’t even been digested yet.”
When he heard her words, his brows furrowed imperceptibly. “What did you eat?”
“Takeaway.” While saying that, Rayna stole peeks at her husband every so often out of the corner of
her eye. Noticing the slight displeasure clouding his face, she hastily went over to him and took his
arm, asserting, “Well, it was Kristie who ordered, not me.”
“Was it delicious?” Curtis lowered his eyes to gaze at the woman in his arms, then reached out a hand
and lightly pinched her cheek. Despite his gentle action, his voice carried a trace of warning.
“It was fine. Edible, I suppose,” Rayna replied with a half-smile. Then, she ventured, “How about just
leaving some for me, and I’ll eatter when I’m hungry?”
“It isn’t good to eat toote at night. Have some soup, at the very least.” Curtis did not n on letting
her off the hook. After all, they were supposed to have dinner together that night. It was a promise they
made a while ago,mitting themselves to have dinner together at home if they were not attending a
social event.
At that time, it was even Rayna herself who proposed it in the name of strengthening their familial
bonds. Only a few days had passed, but she had forgotten that agreement entirely.

“Sure!” Rayna did not object to that suggestion. Coincidentally, the housekeeper walked out with a big
pot of chicken mushroom soup. After cing it on the dining table, she opened the lid. A fragrant
aroma wafted into Rayna’s nostrils at once, making her salivate instinctively. “How fragrant!”
Seemingly gratified with herpliment, Curtis grasped her hand and led her to the dining table. He
pulled out a chair for her and had her take a seat. Following that, he reached out for thedle and
served her a bowl of chicken mushroom soup. “Here, try some. It’s a bit hot, so be careful when you
drink it,” he exhorted while handing the bowl to her.
Rayna picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of the soup, and brought it to her mouth.
Remembering Curtis’ reminder, she blew on it before drinking. A big pot of chicken mushroom soup
was cooked, yet the soup did not taste oily. Instead, it left a faint fragrance in her mouth. In fact, it
tasted so good that she felt a touch skeptical. “Is this really chicken mushroom soup?”
She then lifted her eyes and looked at Curtis in surprise. Nodding, the man exined, “The chicken
was from Mother. It’s said to have been fed whole grains and reared free-range in the mountains. Thus,
it tastes better than the average chicken.”
“I can tell that.” Rayna peered at the chicken in the pot, observing a slight color difference from the
average chicken. Nheless, she was still a tad dubious. “And this soup was simmered?”
“A specially-invited chef who specializes in chicken mushroom soup prepared it. I noticed that you liked
drinking chicken mushroom soup previously. Unfortunately, our chef isn’t up to par, resulting in you
drinking little. Hence, I specially engaged the services of a chef from Baykeep,” Curtis admitted frankly.
“Is that chef still here?” Rayna’s eyes lit up after she heard his utterances. She put down the spoon in
her hand, eager to head to the kitchen for a look. s, Curtis held her back.
Keeping hold of her, he led her back to her seat. “No, he’s not here. He left as soon as he finished
making the chicken mushroom soup, saying that it was rare for him to make a trip to Chanaea, thus
taking the opportunity to visit an old friend.”
“I see.” Rayna picked up the spoon once more. Dipping her head, she drank another spoonful of the
chicken mushroom soup. “It’s so delicious that I really wish to learn from him.”
“In that case, I’ll invite him over again when you’re free next time.” When Curtis saw that she was only
drinking the soup, he pulled out the chair next to her and sat down. Then, he snagged the disposable
gloves at the side, put them on, and started tearing the chicken into shreds for her.
The chicken in the pot was not cut into small pieces. To eat the meat, one had to tear it by hand before
enjoying it with a special dipping sauce.
“Here, try this.” Curtis first dipped the chicken shreds in the sauce before ting them and handing the
te to Rayna.
Rayna picked up her fork and took a shred of chicken. The second she ced it into her mouth, the
sauce’s savoriness and the chicken’s tenderness pervaded her entire mouth. “It’s delicious.”
She nodded while she ate, not forgetting to take a few shreds of chicken and feed them to Curtis. “You
should try some as well.”
The couple finished the entire dinner by feeding each other. Waiting on them by the side, the
housekeepers rejoiced over their employers’ close rtionship.
After all, their days would only be good when the family they served was in a great mood.
After dinner, Rayna went to the nursery to check on the triplets.
It so happened that the nanny was cradling Xareni, coaxing her. Upon seeing that, Rayna walked over
and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
“Ms. Xareni was whimpering in her sleep just now, perhaps having had a nightmare. I was worried that
she’d wake Ms. Yelena and Mr. Yosef, so I picked her up to soothe her,” the nanny exined.
When Rayna heard that, she nced at Yosef and Yelena, who were in their cribs. Subsequently, she
reached out her arms and took Xareni from the nanny. “I’ll do it.”
The nanny replied with a word of acknowledgment. In the next second, Rayna remarked, “You haven’t
eaten, yes? Go and eat something first. I’ll be fine here alone.”
The nanny nodded before turning around and leaving the nursery.
There was a massive bay window in the nursery, on which was a cushion. With Xareni in her arms,
Rayna sat on it, humming softly in constion.
Meanwhile, Curtis stepped out of the bathroom in a bathrobe but saw no signs of Rayna in the
bedroom. He left the room to look for her, only to learn that she was in the nursery.
When he gently pushed open the door and stepped into the nursery, he was greeted by the sight of
Rayna sitting by the bay window with a baby in her arms, humming a luby meant to soothe. It was an
incredibly heart-warming scene.
Once he entered deeper into the room, he nced at the fast-asleep Yosef and Yelena before shifting
his gaze to Xareni in Rayna’s arms. “Did she wake up?”
“The nanny said Xareni had a nightmare earlier and was whimpering in her sleep. She was afraid that
the noise would wake the other two babies, so she picked Xareni up,” Rayna answered. Throughout it
all, she continued rocking Xareni.
Realizing that the man was wearing a bathrobe and emanating a freshly-showered fragrance, she
gently urged, “Go to bed first. I’ll head to our bedroom after the nanny has finished having dinner and
settled the kids down.”
At her boration, Curtis massaged his temples. In a low voice, he proposed, “Let Xareni sleep in our
room tonight. If she were to cry at night, keeping Yosef and Yelena awake, the Faymon residence
would be awash with cries the whole night. I remember we bought an extra crib at that time. I’ll have
the housekeeper move the crib to our room.”
While speaking, he helped Rayna up from the cushion.
Rayna leaned against his chest with Xareni in her arms. As she lifted her eyes to look at him, an
unfathomable emotion surfaced in them.
