Dear Sweetheart Chapter 150 A Wife

“In that case, your mommy is being too harsh on you.” Rayna frowned. “Having fun is the most important thing for kids your age. It’ll never be too late to learn those things when you’re older.”

Carl shook his head. “My mommy says I should start young because I can learn faster. I don’t find the sessions tiring. I just hope that I’ll be stronger than my daddy in the future. That way, I can see him more often.”

“Is your daddy a very busy man?”

“Yes. He doesn’t get many holidays.” Carl jerked his chin up slightly and said gleefully, “However, my mommy said he’d be coming back during the holidays. I get to celebrate the holidays with Mommy and Daddy this year!”

“That’s great.” Rayna smiled and stroked his head lovingly.

She knew being a soldier was tough because they had little time off.

Although Rayna had only met a handful of kids before, she found it relaxing to chat with Carl. In fact, she thought he was obedient, intelligent, and knowledgeable. Therefore, they had a pleasant chat over lunch.

Suddenly, Rayna’s phone started ringing, so she said to Carl, “I’m sorry, but I need to take this call.”

The moment she whipped out her phone, she saw that it was a call from an unknown number.

Bewildered, she answered the phone and asked, “Hello. Who is this?”

“Where are you now, Ms. Garland?”

“Is that you, Mr. Xavier?” The monotonous tone was the only hint she needed to figure out who was on the other end of the line. “I’m having lunch outside. How may I help you?”

“Where are you having lunch?”

Huh? Rayna froze momentarily before replying carefully, “Perhaps you can send me a location, and I’ll go—”

“Address,” the man interrupted.

She dared not imagine how Theodore would react if she were to say no to him. Frightened, she had no choice but to give him the restaurant’s address.

Carl looked at her and asked curiously, “Ms. Rayna, is that man a fierce man?”

“Very. I wish I could stay as far away from him as possible.” The thought of Theodore sent shivers down Rayna’s spine. Out of all of Curtis’ friends, Jeremy and Wyatt are the friendliest. Theodore is so grim that I bet everyone would avoid him.

“Did you give him the address because he’s coming over, Ms. Rayna?” Carl asked before sitting straight. “Don’t be scared, Ms. Rayna. I’ll protect you. If he dares to be harsh to you, I’ll beat him up!”

“You’re so adorable!” His declaration warmed Rayna’s heart, and she could not help but pinch his cheeks. Jessica’s right! His cheeks are soft and bouncy!

However, a thought crossed her mind belatedly when she saw Carl’s dark eyes. This boy is the spitting image of Theodore. Wouldn’t they see each other when Theodore comes over later? I don’t think Theodore is related to Carl, but what if Carl is related to his relatives? Will I cause any trouble?

Carl noticed Rayna was staring at him in silence, so he asked, “What’s the matter, Ms. Rayna?”

“I’m fine.” Rayna quickly stood up and put on his mask for him. “That man is vicious, so I think you should wait for me in the car. Once I’m done, I’ll send you back.”

Just as she was about to bring him out of the restaurant, they bumped into Theodore. As usual, the man wore a black shirt and a pair of slacks. His expressionless countenance seemed so murderous, frightening the female staff so much that their knees went weak.

Theodore’s gaze landed on Rayna. With large strides, he walked up to her. “Ms. Garland, are you leaving?”

“Yes. This boy is done eating, so I wanted to send him home first.” Rayna chuckled awkwardly and stood before Carl so that Theodore would not see him. “Mr. Xavier, please have a seat and wait for me.”

“I only have a few words to say. It’ll be quick.” Theodore jerked his chin in the direction of a table behind, gesturing for her to sit back down.
