Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 496

A while later, thunder rumbled in the sky, and it started to rain heavily.

Rayna was completely drenched.

She remained kneeling in front of the door as if the owner of the house would miraculously open the door if she continued to stare at it.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and Rayna could see a figure approaching from the corner of her eye.

“Ms. Garland, it’s raining so heavily. You are going to fall sick if you continue kneeling here,” Wendella, who was holding an umbrella, said in a pitiful tone as she looked at Rayna. “Do you need my help?”

Wendella?

Rayna took a glance at the woman before lowering her head again.

She clenched her fists tightly as she felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.

“That won’t be necessary.”

Without asking further questions, Wendella left after hearing that and walked up the stairs.

Rayna tried not to let her thoughts wander and feign nonchalance, but when she heard the sound of woman’s high heels clicking as she walked, she could not help but look up.

She saw Wendella closing her umbrella before pressing the doorbell.

Please don’t open!

Rayna was clenching her fists so hard that her nails dug into her flesh, but she did not seem to feel any pain. Although her vision was blurred due to the rain, she could see a tall silhouette opening the door and standing in front of Wendella.

When Curtis saw Wendella, he frowned. After saying a few words to her, he opened the door wider for her to enter.

Rayna watched as Wendella stepped into the house. The man did not take a single glance in her direction before he closed the door heartlessly. A chill ran down Rayna’s spine. At that moment, all she could feel was the cold wind blowing mercilessly against her.

She was on the verge of collapsing as she pressed her lips together and tasted the salty rainwater.

“Why am I so silly…”
