Dear Sweetheart Chapter 141 Someone You Love
Rayna had sprained her ankle, so standing still hurt her. The little boy then brought her to a nearby chair to sit before pulling out a bag of chocolates.
“Chocolate is high in calories. You’ll have some energy after eating that.”
“Thank you.”
Rayna accepted the chocolate.
She had a hard time believing that this was a four-year-old boy. He spoke too calmly, and one could have easily assumed he had the maturity of a teenager.
“My father is a skilled soldier. He’s been posted to the front lines.” When the boy mentioned his father, his eyes shone brightly with pride. “He loves me very much. He also sends home presents every year.”
“A soldier, you say?” murmured Rayna, trying to ignore the burning questions she had.
Theodore is definitely not a soldier. Otherwise, how could he come back to Chanaea and help Curtis out? This boy also bears an uncanny resemblance to Theodore. What is up with that? Does Theodore have other siblings, perhaps?
On top of that, there are people out there who bear uncanny resemblances to others despite not being related at all. Wasn’t there a story about a child who resembled some bigwig in his youth? They weren’t related either.
After mulling over her thoughts, Rayna patted the boy on his head. “I think you’ll grow to be even better than your father.”
“Of course! I have to protect Mommy!” replied the boy, nodding vigorously. “I have to work hard and make her proud of me!”
“Is it just you and your mother at home?”
The little boy nodded. “Yes, but Mommy is busy at work, so I’ve got a housekeeper taking care of me.”
Just as the boy finished speaking, the phone in his bag began to ring.
He immediately pulled it out and answered. He sounded like a very well-behaved boy as he spoke. “Hello? Mommy? No, the teacher is not here. I decided to train on my own. Yes, I’m wearing a mask. I’ll send you the location and wait for you to pick me up.”
When the boy answered the phone, Rayna suddenly recalled that she had an appointment herself. She was running late as it stood.
Rayna said, “I’ll leave you to wait for your mother. I have other matters to attend to and need to go now.”
“Why don’t you use my mountain bike?” The boy could tell that Rayna was in a rush, so he took off his helmet and gave it to her. “On the pedestrian walkways, it’ll be faster if you ride the bike.”
Given that the mountain bike was not a children’s model, Rayna could ride it too.
Rayna also conceded that time was running out and agreed promptly. “Hmm, can I get your contact details? I’ll take you up on the offer to use your bike and will return it when I’m done.”
“Sure.”
After they exchanged phone numbers, Rayna was about to wheel the bike away when the little boy thrust his helmet at her.
“You need to wear a helmet.”
“There’s no need for one. Besides, that will not fit me.”
