Dear Sweetheart Chapter 151 Maybe It Is Just A Coincidence

Theodore said indifferently, “I know Curtis well. He won’t stand up for just anyone. Thus, he must be somewhat attracted to you, Ms. Garland. If you truly intend to keep your feelings to yourself, sign this.”

As he spoke, he uncapped a pen and placed it next to the document, adding, “I need absolute assurance from you.”

Rayna knew she could come up with a million excuses, and still, he would accept none of them.

Uncle Curtis… also has feelings for me?

That thought sent her heart racing. I must be crazy for entertaining such a possibility!

Theodore tapped on the document. His voice was cold as he uttered, “Ms. Garland.”

“Huh?” Rayna raised her head to meet his sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see right through her. It felt impossible to hide all her thoughts from him. Subconsciously, she began to twiddle with her fingers on her knees.

Her subtle movements did not escape Theodore’s notice. “Ms. Garland, you can still be yourself after signing this document. I will not interfere with any part of your life. After Curtis gets married, this contract will be annulled, and I will not retract any of the houses, cars, or shares stated on it,” he explained.

All of the possessions stated in the contract were valued at a total of nearly one hundred million.

Rayna did not doubt the strength of the friendship between Theodore and Curtis. However, she was certain that the man before her was mainly doing such a thing in Jasmine’s interest.

Curiosity bubbled up inside her, and she wondered what had happened to them and why they had broken up.

Rayna stared in contemplation at the contract in front of her for a full minute. Eventually, she picked up the pen and signed on the dotted line. Her countenance remained calm, betraying none of her true emotions.

Once she was done, she closed the document and pushed it back toward Theodore. A small smile played about her lips.

“This is such a good deal. Of course, I’ll take it.”

Theodore pressed his lips tightly together. His entire demeanor changed, becoming colder and harder. He kept the signed contract away and stood up, towering over Rayna. “Ms. Garland, I hope you’ll remember what you have promised.”

“See yourself out, Mr. Xavier.”

Rayna watched him head out of the restaurant. The second he was out of her line of sight, she pressed a hand to her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

Theodore was a difficult man to deal with. Every conversation with him felt like an interrogation. There was no room for negotiation with him at all. He was extremely unreasonable in that way.

“How can a person like that even have an ex-girlfriend…” Rayna muttered. Just as she reached for her glass of water, she realized Carl was still next to her. His entire body was pressed against the glass window as he stared at the view outside of the restaurant.

Rayna leaned over to him. “Hey, kid, what’re you up to?”

“Ms. Rayna, who was that?” Carl pulled off his mask. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was physically a replica of Theodore. “Did you not realize that we look exactly alike?”

Nodding, she replied, “I realized that on my second meeting with you.”

“T-Then, do you think he’s my father?” Carl asked, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

“I’m not sure about that.” Rayna had also speculated about the relationship between Theodore and Carl before but ended up dismissing the thought. “Didn’t you say that your father is a soldier and is a very busy man? Those descriptions do not fit him.”

Disappointed welled up in the boy’s eyes. “You’re right. He said no when I asked him earlier if he has a wife, so he definitely won’t have a son. But we look very alike!”

Rayna stroked his head and smiled, saying, “Maybe it’s just a coincidence that the two of you look alike. There are cases of unrelated people who’re the spitting images of each other out there in the world.”

Carl nodded in understanding, but he still turned to look out of the window.

Even though Theodore had long driven off, he could still recall the moments of their earlier encounter.
