Dear Sweetheart Chapter 618
Chapter 618
Curtis noted Rayna’s emotion. He was aware of her concerns in the past few days, though he had
never put things on the table with her.
To him, all three children were his. As such, the issue of favoritism did not exist.
As for Xareni’s name, it was merely a superficial term of address.
Indeed, he harbored some anger within him recently. However, it was not toward the children but his
own wife.
Regretfully, Rayna simply could not perceive it. The mere thought of it gave him a pounding headache.
After the couple had brought Xareni back to their bedroom, Curtis went out of the room and ordered the
housekeeper to move the crib in the guestroom over.
Rayna gently ced Xareni onto the crib. No sooner had she done so than Curtis came out of the
bathroom. He went over to her and offered, “I’ll look after her. Go and take a bath. I’ve already drawn
one for you.”
“Okay.” In response, Rayna nodded. When she turned around and brushed past the man, she went on
tiptoes and pecked him on the cheek. “Thank you, Darling.”
Curtis pinched her slightly rounded cheek, his lips quirking into a smile. “Go on.”
When Rayna exited the bathroom, the sight of Curtis lying on the bed with aptop on hisp came into
view. He had one hand moving across the keyboard and the other resting on the crib beside him,
rocking it gently.
Seeing that she was done bathing, Curtis closed theptop and flipped open the covers to get up.
Rayna removed the stic band around her hair before tightening the belt at her waist. “Where are you
going?” she asked while eyeing him in puzzlement.
Instead of giving her an answer, Curtis shed her a faint smile.
She did not think much about it, walking over to the dressing table, where she sat down and took out a
comb to brush her unbound hair. About three minutester, Curtis returned to the bedroom from the
living area with a pink brocade box in hand.
“This is for me?” Rayna put down theb in her hand and lifted her eyes to stare at Curtis, stunned
for a moment.
She racked her brain for a while but found nothing special about that day. He’s giving me a gift out of
the blue when it isn’t even a special asion?
“Yeah. Open it and have a look.” Curtis motioned for her to open the brocade box.
After taking it from him, Rayna opened it, and the four pocket watches within came to view. Each was
of a different color and style. Most importantly, they were all engraved with a zodiac sign. Hers was
different, while the other three pocket watches had the same signs, their designs varying.
One was also of a bigger size, whereas the other three were smaller and made of silver. She picked up
the pocket watch with her zodiac sign and opened it, only to find a dancing figurine inside. On the other
side of it was a miniature family portrait.
“When did you prepare these?” Imbued with joy, Rayna spoke in a soft and tender voice. “I noticed
you’d beening homete in the past few days. Don’t tell me you’d been getting these together?”
Leaning down, Curtis stretched out a hand and booped her on the nose. His eyes were brimming with
infinite love. “My girl is always so smart.”
Rayna reached out a hand and grasped the index finger and thumb of the man’s right hand. Her voice
was tinged with a hint of distress as she said the following words. “The wounds on your hand match the
pin on this pocket watch.”
“I made them myself. Do you like them?” He caressed her face, his maic voice very much
seductive.
“Yeah. The kids will love them too.” Rayna ced the brocade box on the dressing table, hooked her
hands around his neck, and raised her head to kiss him.
She merely nned to give him a peck to express her gratitude to him, not expecting to spark his
desire inadvertently.
Curtis unfastened the belt at her waist directly. When his hand came into contact with her slender waist,
the fright almost made her shriek aloud. But in the next second, she remembered that there was still a
baby in their master bedroom and swallowed her cry in the nick of time.
“Cut it out.” Her cheeks were flushed from the kiss earlier, rendering her extraordinarily stunning under
the illumination of the yellow light in the bedroom. She grabbed the man’s hand that was roaming
around her waist, warning, “You’re going to wake Xareni.”
Following her words, a deep pucker formed between Curtis’ eyebrows. He shifted his gaze to the baby
sleeping soundly in the crib before bringing his lip close to her ear. “It’s irresponsible to start something
without finishing it, Darling.”
That had Rayna’s cheeks me even hotter, but still, she did not loosen her grip on his hand. “No way.
Xareni is here, and it’d be bad if she were to witness it.”
When Curtis heard that, utter regret swamped him. Had I known this would happen, I wouldn’t have
suggested bringing Xareni into our bedroom!
“Go and relieve yourself in the bathroom, okay? Please?” As Rayna spoke, she kissed him on the
cheek again.
She initially nned on using that kiss to appease him. Unexpectedly, it only fanned the mes of lust
within Curtis, who scooped her up in his arms and strode out of the bedroom.
“Where are we going? Xareni is still in the room.” Rayna shot out a hand to nudge him.
He carried her into the bathroom in the living area outside the master bedroom. It was some distance
from the master bedroom, and the door’s sound instion was rtively good, so no noise would be
audible if they shut the door.
“It’ll be bad if Xareni wakes up and there’s no one in the room.” Rayna clutched at her clothes tightly,
allowing him no opportunity to do anything to her.
“That’s not a problem.” While saying that, Curtis reached out an arm and turned on a screen on the
bathroom’s inner wall, which disyed the surveince footage of the master bedroom. Everything
happening in there was indicated on it, and they could even hear Xareni’s even breathing. Taking
advantage of Rayna’s inattention as she stared at the surveince footage, he pulled her into his arms
and captured her lips.
Meanwhile, Chandler was on the way home in a minivan after working the entire evening. He gazed out
the car window at the streets with few pedestrians. A whileter, he asked Nora, “What’s the progress
with the matter I told you to investigate two days ago?”
Nora nudged the sses on the bridge of her nose before taking out a stack of information from her
backpack and giving it to the man. “There isn’t much information. This is all the private detective could
find.”
Chandler reached out to take the file and opened it. Once he pulled the papers out, he scanned his
eyes over a few pages and found the contents simr to everything he had previously learned.
However, a photo inside snagged his attention.
The photo was of a young man and woman locked in an embrace, the woman smiling happily.
“Who is this man?” Curtis demanded, pointing at the man in the photo.
Nora took a nce at it before shaking her head. “The private detective couldn’t find anything on this
man. It was as though his information had been deliberately erased.”
When Chandler heard that, a sh of something peculiar flittered across his brown eyes.
“By the way, Chandler, I bumped into Mr. Wingate yesterday, and he asked that I ry his words to
you. He wants you to focus on your work and not involve yourself overly much in irrelevant matters.” As
Nora spoke, she reached out a hand and tugged at the hem of Chandler’s shirt, her gaze falling on the
document in his hands. “I think he’s right. Chandler… let’s just concentrate on shooting movies and
epting gigs. It’s enough that we’ve done such a thing once. If we get caught… Well, we can’t afford
to offend them.”
