Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 116

Dear Sweetheart Chapter 116 Because You Have Fallen For Him

Rayna’s action sent shivers up Jessica’s spine. While walking to the elevator, Jessica could not help but advise, “Don’t take it out on your car since it didn’t do you wrong. What if you damaged the door? You’ll have to send it to the workshop for repair.”

Rayna responded in a calm voice, “Am I angry? I don’t think so. Why should I be angry?”

“Look at you. Pretty sure everyone can read the expression on your face,” Jessica muttered. “I know you’re feeling down. Why don’t you talk to Mr. Faymon? Tell him you don’t want him to get married.”

“He can marry anyone he likes. It has nothing to do with me,” Rayna uttered.

Jessica said, “You’re in love with him.”

“No, I’m not,” Rayna denied.

“If you’re not in love with him, why would you be mad when you learned about his engagement?”

“I’m not mad. I’m just…” Words caught in Rayna’s throat. She scratched her head as her frustration grew. I don’t even know why I’m so annoyed!

Jessica tapped the back of one hand against her other palm as if she saw through Rayna. “See? You’ve fallen for him, but you refuse to admit it. Why are you hiding your feelings? Mr. Faymon is wealthy and handsome, and you’re a good match for him! Even though you didn’t come from a prominent family, you’re a Norham University graduate! Besides that, Mr. Faymon knows you’re smart. That was why he transferred you to a new department and made you a manager. There’s a vast difference between a manager and an ordinary employee. You know that, right?”

“That’s not how I think of him. Besides, he’s Julian’s uncle, so…”

Realization dawned on Jessica upon hearing that. “So that’s your concern, huh? Why let that bother you, Rayna? Now that you’ve divorced Julian, you can marry anyone you like. I’m sure the Faymons will have no problem with you dating Curtis.”

Frustration continued to overwhelm Rayna. She interrupted Jessica, “Enough. So what if I have feelings for him? He’s engaged now. Let’s just put this behind us.”

‘But you…” Jessica did not want to give up persuading Rayna, but upon noticing the murderous glance Rayna shot her, Jessica became ashen-faced.

Knowing Rayna was having a tough time accepting the news, Jessica decided not to rub salt into her wound anymore.

The two women did not speak to each other throughout the walk to the supermarket. Even after they had filled the shopping carts with groceries and made the payment at the counter, they remained silent. While Rayna did not feel like talking because she was frustrated, Jessica kept mum because she dared not add fuel to the fire.

“Miss, you dropped something!”

Rayna and Jessica heard a child’s voice from behind when they were about to walk out of the supermarket with their shopping bags. A young boy ran over and stopped Rayna from leaving.

“This is your car key, right?” The boy showed her a car key in his hand.

Clad in branded clothes and a black baseball cap, the boy exuded a sophisticated aura. The fact that he had rosy cheeks with chiseled facial features also suggested that his parents, too, must be easy on the eyes.

Rayna checked her bag and realized her car key was missing.

“Thank you.” She took the key from the boy. I must have dropped it at the counter just now.

“You’re welcome. Be careful next time!” the boy said. Upon noticing the laces on Rayna’s heels had gotten loose, he squatted down and helped her fasten them.

Jessica exclaimed, “What an adorable kid! Others would have called us madams. Not only is he sweet, but he’s also caring. What a gentleman!”

The boy’s action also caught Rayna by surprise.

She thought it was inappropriate for her to reward the boy with money, so she took a few bottles of yogurt drinks out of the shopping bag and gave them to him. She smiled at him and said, “Thanks for giving me back my car key and helping me with my lace-up heels. I can’t think of a better way to thank you, so here you go—these drinks are for you.”

“Don’t mention it. I’m glad I could help.” The boy waved a dismissive hand instead of accepting the drinks.

Rayna gently pulled his hand over and gave him the drinks. “This is a token of appreciation from me. I might not be able to drive home tonight had you not given me back the key.”
