Dear Sweetheart Chapter 169 Would It Hurt To Beg

Rayna was so shocked that she nearly dropped her phone on the floor.

What should I do?

Looking at her buzzing phone, Rayna gritted her teeth and answered the call after several seconds. She steadied her voice and said, “Mr. Faymon.”

“Wyatt said you were busy with work and asked me not to disturb you.” Curtis’ deep and magnetic voice was as attractive as ever even over the phone.

Is he explaining himself?

Rayna felt nervous all of a sudden and replied, “Y-Yeah, I’ve been quite busy.”

“It’s Thanksgiving today.”

“Happy Thanksgiving!” said Rayna subconsciously.

A pause ensued, followed by a low chuckle. Rayna felt like slapping herself upon hearing it.

Rayna, you idiot!

Curtis then said, “My dad called just now. He reminded me to go home for Thanksgiving and bring you, the pregnant lady, along.”

“Mr. Faymon, I’m really not pregnant.” Rayna felt awkward. She blamed herself for not storing the wine properly. “My mom just called too. I may need to go home.”

“Understood,” said Curtis. “A family should spend time together on Thanksgiving. I’ll go back on my own, then.”

“Mr. Faymon…”

What he said made Rayna feel as if she had done something wrong. She faltered slightly. When she was about to speak up, Curtis asked her to carry on with her work and hung up.

That’s it? He hung up just like that?

A look of disbelief appeared on her face as she glared at her phone.

What on earth? Uncle Curtis is acting so high and mighty! Would it hurt to beg me and admit that he needs me?

Later, Linda really did call to say that it was Thanksgiving and ask Rayna if she was free to come home. Rayna agreed to it and called James.

It turned out that James was not around. He was attending a ceremony in Pillere with Kristie. Roxanne was also filming in Bellridge.

Rayna sighed as it seemed she would be the only one going home.

Roxanne seemed to have caught the fancy of some foreign director. She was cast in one movie after another and selected for various celebrity endorsements. She had been overseas all this while and did not return.

When it was time to leave, Rayna took her laptop with her, intending to complete the unfinished work later. She ran into Wyatt and Jessica when she was going down.

She looked at them and asked, “You’re spending Thanksgiving together?”

“Yeah. Wyatt’s parents are overseas, so no one’s at home to celebrate with him,” replied Jessica. “Well, you know I’m not from around here. Are you going home, Nana? If you’re not, why don’t you—”

“Even if she’s not going home, she’ll be going to Curtis’,” interrupted Wyatt. “We shouldn’t take up her time. Let’s just celebrate by ourselves.”

“Why would I need to go to his house? He’s going back to the Faymon residence, and I’m going home to celebrate with my mom,” said Rayna with a cold smirk, obviously still annoyed that Curtis had hung up on her earlier.

“You’re letting him go back by himself?”

“He’s not a child. Are you worried that he’ll get lost?”

Stroking his chin, Wyatt made some sounds of disapproval and said, “Most of the Faymons would go back for a festival like this. Aren’t you worried that Curtis will get bullied in his current state?”

“Who am I to him? Why would I need to worry?” retorted Rayna. “Honestly, you should go instead since you’re so close to him!”

“No way. I said I’d accompany Jessie!”

“Well, you don’t have to. I’m quite comfortable going home alone to enjoy some drama series,” said Jessica.

“It’s Thanksgiving! Doing that would be a waste of such a joyous occasion! Let’s go enjoy the night view in a scenic setting,” suggested Wyatt laughingly.
