Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 59 Getting Rough

Rayna tried to move his arm away, but his arm was as strong as steel. She couldn’t pry him off and could only stare at his sleeping figure.

His features, no longer covered by his glasses, looked like they were sculpted and pared to perfection. Even in his sleep, he was frowning. Dark eye circles underlined his eyes, telling her how busy he was.

The sleeping man gave off an aura of an academician and looked like a distinguished gentleman.

Rayna gazed at him as her thoughts flew back to three years ago. Back when they were still a couple, he spoiled her so much. She remembered how anxious he was even when she just had a cold.

One Christmas, she mentioned, “Oh, I wish I could watch the sunrise in Livingsfill, Pandera.” The following day, she woke up in Livingsfill with Jefferson asking her if the sunset was pretty.

Memories flooded her head, reminding her how attentive Jefferson was. He had never mistreated her.

Rayna couldn’t help but reach out to caress his cheek. Her fingers froze inches away from his cheek and trembled slightly when she recalled how he almost killed her that night.

Why did he do that that night?

Rayna still couldn’t understand his actions that night. She was about to kick up a fuss and demand that he let her go when she spotted a necklace hanging on his neck. The pendant was a tiny tear-shaped pendant.

It was a cheap gift from her a long time ago, but he still had it with him.

“Why…?” Rayna murmured as she touched the teardrop pendant.

He could tell me if he wanted something. We were lovers, so I wouldn’t reject him.

Rayna was still reeling from the shock of Jonathan’s death. Gabriel then forced her to come to the airport with him past midnight, but she ended up getting kidnapped by Jefferson. She was exhausted by now.

She stopped struggling and fell into a deep sleep.

“Belle, we’ve arrived.”

Rayna was sleeping when someone patted her cheek twice.

Before she realized what was going on, she was lifted up. Instinctively, she flung her arms around the man who picked her up. She then opened her eyes and realized it was Jefferson.
