Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 617

“Yes, we will always be fine.” Not only was it Curtis’ belief but also the ultimate direction of his plans.

From his perspective, the hardships between him and Rayna had passed, so blessings awaited them.

“I think so too.” In his embrace, his wife lifted her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling with joy.

When the couple returned to the Faymon residence from Beryl Pavilion, the help at home was serving dinner.

Rayna walked over to the dining table. At the sight of the tableful of dishes, she rubbed her stomach resignedly and turned to Curtis, who followed closely behind her. “I ate a lot with Jasmine and Kristie today. The food hadn’t even been digested yet.”

When he heard her words, his brows furrowed imperceptibly. “What did you eat?”

“Takeaway.” While saying that, Rayna stole peeks at her husband every so often out of the corner of her eye. Noticing the slight displeasure clouding his face, she hastily went over to him and took his arm, asserting, “Well, it was Kristie who ordered, not me.”

“Was it delicious?” Curtis lowered his eyes to gaze at the woman in his arms, then reached out a hand and lightly pinched her cheek. Despite his gentle action, his voice carried a trace of warning.

“It was fine. Edible, I suppose,” Rayna replied with a half-smile. Then, she ventured, “How about just leaving some for me, and I’ll eat later when I’m hungry?”

“It isn’t good to eat too late at night. Have some soup, at the very least.” Curtis did not plan on letting her off the hook. After all, they were supposed to have dinner together that night. It was a promise they made a while ago, committing themselves to have dinner together at home if they were not attending a social event.

At that time, it was even Rayna herself who proposed it in the name of strengthening their familial bonds. Only a few days had passed, but she had forgotten that agreement entirely.
