Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 627

At the time, everyone turned to look at the door, along with Xareni. A long while later, no one showed up. In the end, Xareni was so disappointed that she hung her head and slumped onto Curtis’ shoulders.

Everyone belatedly realized she was waiting for Rayna.

Curtis embraced Xareni tightly, his eyes becoming red with emotion. Again and again, he reassured her, “Mommy will be back.”

When the sound of a car engine being turned off was heard in the courtyard, Caylie glanced down from the second floor and saw a black Bentley parked outside. She hurried into the bedroom and told the woman lying on the reclining chair. “Ms. Griffith, Mr. Bridge is back.”

Hearing that, the woman got up. Caylie went over to help her up. “Slowly, Ms. Griffith.”

Before they could go downstairs, they heard footsteps in the hallway. A man’s gentle voice soon rang out, “Belle.”

The woman reached out instinctively, and the man held her hand. “I’m sorry. I was busy with work and couldn’t make time to visit you.”

He stroked her hair and remarked, “You’ve lost weight.”

Beside them, Caylie hung her head. Afraid the man would reprimand her, she quickly explained, “Ms. Griffith hasn’t been eating much for the past few days.”

“She hasn’t been eating much?” Hearing that, the man tensed up and reached out to check her temperature. Her temperature was normal, so he asked, “What happened? Is she sick?”

“The doctor came to check on her. According to the doctor, she needs some time to get used to the climate,” Caylie reported.

“She needs some time to get used to the climate?” The man’s brows knitted together.

Sensing his displeasure, the woman was afraid he would vent his frustration on Caylie. She hurriedly explained, “Maybe it’s because of the beach.”
