Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 186 A Thousand Times Over

Rayna regarded Jefferson disdainfully when she saw how much he treasured a mere piece of candy. “It’s just candy. I can go to the store and get you a whole packet if you like it.”

“It’s okay. Just one will do,” Jefferson replied, feeling extremely satisfied.

To him, just that single piece of candy was enough to make up for all the pent-up anger in his heart.

May I? Of course, you may. I can say it ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times, or even ten million times over.

Assuming that Jefferson was purely curious about how the candy tasted, Rayna brushed the matter off. Then, they continued sitting at the beverage store for a while longer before checking other places out.

Despite the swelling crowd as night descended, none of the people paid attention to Rayna for some unknown reason.

On the contrary, countless young women approached Jefferson enthusiastically with milk candies, asking if he would like to accept their candies, so much so that it exasperated Rayna.

So, she went to an accessory store nearby to get him a mask to cover his face.

“Seriously? I thought receiving a green rose meant I was attractive enough, but none of the men is looking at me. You, on the contrary, are getting a lot of attention from the girls!”

Jefferson glanced at the green rose in Rayna’s hand, his eyes brimming with happiness.

“What’s so funny, huh?” Rayna complained, rolling her eyes. “You’re the reason why no one is interested in me, so make sure you keep that mask on, okay?”

“Sure.”

The sky completely darkened after seven o’clock in the evening, and stars glimmered radiantly in the sky over the buzzing area.

After buying two tickets for a cruise, Rayna went to the pier with Jefferson, waiting to board the ferry.
