Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 504

“Our family is the exception. Don’t overthink it!”

Jefferson replied, “That won’t do. I have made a list and asked Ringo to pick up the items at the mall. He should be back soon. I’m just afraid your mother will dislike me and won’t approve of our marriage.”

“Ugh, you’re really…” Rayna did not know what to say, so she decided to let him have his way.

“When are you returning to Jetroina?”

“I’m not returning, but Ringo will be returning after a few days. Since there’s work at the company here, I’ll stay here and accompany you. Then, we will leave together.” Jefferson peeled a grape for her.

Rayna hummed in acknowledgment. “Let’s go and pick out our rings in the afternoon after we eat.”

Jefferson’s fingers brushed across her face, and his eyes twinkled with joy.

“Okay.”

“Lunch is ready.” Linda brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen, interrupting their intimate moment.

Rayna pulled Jefferson to the dining room to have lunch.

She scooped a bowl of soup for Jefferson. “Mom made this soup. It’s really delicious. Try it!”

Jefferson had a few sips and praised Linda with a smile. “It’s scrumptious. I realize you inherited your excellent cooking skills from Ms. Linda today.”

Rayna elbowed Jefferson and scoffed. “Hey! You can praise my mother without making fun of me! I might not bring you over in the future. Then, you won’t get to taste my mother’s cooking anymore!”

“Fine, fine. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said this.”

Linda, who was sitting opposite them, watched them bicker with each other.

There was always a smile on Jefferson. It was as if all he could see was Rayna.

Afraid that Rayna’s hair would fall into the soup, he used a scrunchy to tie it up.

Every move of his was gentle.

Linda watched their interactions. It’s good if Rayna marries a man like this.
