Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 404

With a gentle look in his eyes, Jefferson caressed her cheek and said, “I will respect your decision no matter what you choose to do. Also, you’re currently married into the Terblanc family, so why would you need a monthly allowance?”

“You’re right. I am helping you out with your work, so I’m not a freeloader. If your father ever gives me jewelry and stuff, I’ll keep them and sell them off when they’re high in demand.”

Jefferson let out a faint chuckle. “Sure thing.”

After lunch, Jefferson kept Rayna company as she went for a walk around the hospital. The two of them then headed over to the mall as Rayna needed to buy some loose-fitting clothes.

It was already five in the evening by the time they returned to the manor.

“Is my father home?” Jefferson asked the housekeeper when he didn’t see Boniel’s shoes at the door.

“Old Mr. Terblanc called earlier this afternoon. He said he wouldn’t be coming home today because he needs to keep Mr. Montail company at the hospital. He wants you and Ms. Rayna to look after the manor while he’s gone,” the housekeeper replied with her head held low.

Jefferson nodded. “Got it.”

“Would you two like to have dinner? The chef prepared some Chanaean dishes today,” the housekeeper asked.

Although Rayna had eaten before coming home, she felt hungry after hearing what the housekeeper said. “Yes, please. Tell the chef to prepare Mr. Montail and Old Mr. Terblanc’s favorite dishes and have them delivered to the hospital.”

“Understood.”

Jefferson waited until the housekeeper had left before asking, “Didn’t you just have two hamburgers, four drumsticks, and a bowl of mushroom soup? How are you hungry so soon?”

“It’s not me who’s hungry. It’s them. I’ve got three mouths to feed, remember?” Rayna replied with an awkward smile.

The two of them were sitting in the living room while waiting for dinner to be served.

“Arnaud may have lost an arm, but he gained something out of it. Just look at how worried your father is. He’s even staying over at the hospital just to keep him company! I bet Arnaud would put up a pitiful act once he wakes up. That way, he’d be able to ask your father for more money or something,” Rayna said to Jefferson while munching on some juicy grapes.
