Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 279 I Am Actually His Mother

By around ten, the snacks and home-brewed red wine were basically sold out.

After serving coffee to everyone, Kristie nestled into James’ embrace and said seductively, “Hubby, Mom’s tired. Let’s not cook lunch at home and eat out instead.”

Rayna took a sip of her coffee and frowned. The relationship between Kristie and James is progressing too well. Something’s surely going to happen in the future.

Linda grew flustered, and she said to Kristie, “Honey, you guys aren’t even engaged yet. How could you address him that way? Don’t be fooled by James’ sweet words.”

“It’s all right, Mom.” Kristie was elated because Linda would always side with her. “We’ve already given each other our tokens of love. We’re practically engaged!” she said shyly. “Once James is free after his semester next year, we’ll get married and have children! Mom, I’ll give you three grandchildren!”

Linda smiled gleefully and said, “Sure! Don’t tire yourself out, Honey. If you don’t want to act anymore, then don’t! You can spend all my money in the future.”

“Hey… Don’t you think you’re biased, Mom?” Rayna piped up. “Are you not going to let me spend your money?”

Hearing that, Linda turned to Rayna and answered, “I almost forgot you’re still here! Reflect upon yourself, will you? Your brother is already getting married next year. How about you?”

“Isn’t it the same with Roxanne?” Rayna talked back.

“At least Roxanne has a boyfriend. You’re still single!” Linda was displeased. “I’m not asking you to get married. You can start by dating someone so that you won’t feel so lonely.”

Rayna lowered her head and continued sipping her coffee. I’m not lonely at all. I’ve even received an engagement gift. Should I tell everyone that?

Taking in Rayna’s demeanor, Linda questioned, “Why are you not talking? Did I say something wrong? Or you’re still thinking about Mr. Faymon? Is that why you don’t want anyone else?”

“No…”

Linda shot Rayna a know-it-all glance and said, “Just by looking at your face, I know that’s the case.”
