Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 24 Reclaim What Is Mine

“Mr. Faymon, you’ve crossed the line.” Rayna could barely breathe as whatever Curtis pulled off came like a bolt from the blue. “Didn’t you ask me to deal with my matters as quickly as possible so that we could talk about our cooperation?”

“Pardon me, Ms. Garland. Since when did I say that this is for free?”

Rayna was left speechless at how cunning and sly these capitalists were.

With a deep breath, Rayna tried her best to calm herself down while Curtis kept the same indifferent look on his face. He asked, “Ms. Garland, shall I send you to a hotel, or should I drop you somewhere else?”

“I might have to trouble you to send me home, Mr. Faymon.” Rayna forced a smile. She squeezed the words out of her teeth. However, there was something more important that she had to attend to. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Rayna did not tell the driver about her address, but about ten minutes later, the car came to a stop at the Faymon residence.

When she returned to her senses and tried to ask about it, all that remained of the car in her sight were its rear lights. The chilly wind in the night had her trembling in the cold. As she looked at the brightly lit house, her gaze turned cold.

“Huh? Mom, you’re still awake?” Rayna was surprised to see Rolanda watching television in the living room. With another look around, she confirmed that Curtis had Julian occupied when she didn’t see Julian’s shoes at the doorstep.

At that point, Rayna felt grateful to Curtis for what he had done.

When she returned home, she was afraid of Julian, fearing that his presence would hinder what she was about to do. Yet, Curtis had already arranged everything for her as if he knew what she was about to do in her next step.

“I can’t sleep.” Perhaps, it was because of Rayna’s pregnancy Rolanda’s attitude toward her was considerably better. She did not put up her usual stern expression. “When you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t run around. What if something happens to the child?”

“I know. I’m being careful all the while so that I won’t hurt the child.” Rayna smiled and sat down beside Rolanda.
