Dear Sweetheart Chapter 158

Chapter 158 What Linda Addressed Him As

Embarrassment was written all over Rayna’s face as she chuckled dryly. She then whirled around, finding herself unable to face the man, and scolded herself in her mind. I just can’t do anything right, can I? This isn’t my own place, so why did I behave like that?

When Curtis noticed her phone on the coffee table was ringing, he stopped the music and said, “Rayna, it’s your phone.”

“It’s probably the delivery man.” It was far too awkward for her to face him at the moment. “Why don’t you answer it, Mr. Faymon?”

He arched his brow as the caller ID showed that it was not the delivery man but her mother.

Nevertheless, Curtis decided to answer the call anyway since Rayna was busy kneading the dough with her hands covered in flour. “Hello?” he voiced after putting the call on loudspeaker.

“Oh, it’s my son-in-law!” Linda recognized his voice right away. “Where’s Honey?”

Oh, my gosh!

Rayna nearly burst a vessel when she heard her mother addressing Curtis as her son-in-law. At the speed of lightning, she dashed toward him and snatched her phone away, changing the audio output.

“Mom! Why did you say that?” she uttered through gritted teeth while stealing a glance at Curtis.

He did not seem shocked, considering that his expression was as calm as the sea.

“Isn’t that my son-in-law’s voice?”

“Yes— No, he’s not your son-in-law!” Rayna corrected. At that moment, she had a strong urge to run into a wall to escape from reality. “Anyway, why are you calling me?”

“You and your brother haven’t come home in a while, so I just wanted to see how you’re doing,” explained Linda. “When are you coming back for a meal? Also, I’ve made two bottles of wine. Why don’t you take some with you?”

After telling her mother she would visit her the next day, Rayna ended the call speedily.

Meanwhile, Curtis approached her in his wheelchair. “Why did your mother address me as her son-in-law earlier?”

He did not think his voice bore any resemblance to Julian’s.

“Ah! A-About that…” Under the man’s questioning gaze, Rayna’s mind went blank for a second, and she stammered an excuse, “M-My mom’s hearing isn’t the best, so she thought you were Julian.”
