Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 As Long As You Love Me
Wyatt snagged a tissue and wiped the blood on his hand before sitting on the couch, which was still in considerably good condition.
Picking up the cigarettes and lighter from the ground, Gabriel held them out to him.
Wyatt took a cigarette and dangled it in the corner of his mouth. Gabriel went over to light it for him but couldn’t decipher his expression. “If you find it difficult to do anything, I’ll make the arrangements for Ms. Marsh.”
“Do she and her sister look very much alike?”
“I’ve seen her sister’s picture, and they do look quite alike. But Ms. Marsh later had minor cosmetic surgery and even worked hard on her figure.” While saying all that, Gabriel stole a glance at the man.
Wyatt puffed out a smoke ring, the white smoke shrouding his tense face. “Get me a laptop.”
Gabriel promptly scurried off to do as instructed.
A minute later, he returned with a laptop in hand. Besides, he thoughtfully took a chair and presented it to Wyatt together.
Taking a deep drag on the cigarette, Wyatt snagged it from the man. In the next second, his fingers flew across the keyboard.
Gabriel could only see the shadow of his hand. Countless programs were open on the laptop screen, and Wyatt even made a video call to someone, instructing the person to execute his orders posthaste.
When his hands had left the laptop, Gabriel cast another glance at the screen, only to be shocked to the core. “Whoa! It turned out that Bianca was in a relationship with that guy who’s in the entertainment industry, Zephyr!”
In no time, realization dawned upon him. “She once suffered a miscarriage. If she had only been with him while alive, the baby must have been his.”
After saying that, he clutched his pounding heart even as he inwardly warned himself, Of all people, never offend Mr. Lopez!
Meanwhile, Wyatt’s gaze remained fixated on the laptop. “Zephyr sought me out this morning and showed me a video. I was wondering how he took it when they weren’t acquainted.”
Jessica has probably long since known about it, and that’s why she said she likes Zephyr after having a row with me on the cruise that day. It’s so that I’d be jealous and ruin him. No wonder he said that she was using me when I left.
Sheer shock inundated Gabriel. “How daring that he even dared to play a fool of you! So, Mr. Lopez—”
“Get out!” Wyatt ordered. His hands were propped against his forehead, and his voice was tense. It was as though he was suppressing some emotion or other.
Not daring to tarry, Gabriel left the office.
No sooner had he gone out than he bumped into a woman wearing a mask. She called out to him, inquiring, “Why are you here, Mr. Tylinski?”
While at that, she pulled her mask down.
“Ms. Marsh.” Seeing that it was Jessica, and she was even holding a lunch box in her hand, Gabriel cautioned after a moment’s contemplation, “Mr. Lopez is in a bad mood because of some work matters. It might be a bit messy in there.”
Apprehension and worry flooded Jessica. “Is he okay?”
“He’s fine, but the things in the CEO’s office didn’t fare as well. I’ve got something else to do, so please excuse me. Hang in there, Ms. Marsh.”
“Ah, sure.”
Watching him leave, Jessica muttered in bewilderment, “Why did he tell me to hang in there?”
The moment she pushed open the door to the CEO’s office, she was taken aback by the mess in the room. Wyatt was seemingly uninjured on the couch, so she breathed a sigh of relief before walking over with the lunch box in hand.
“Don’t smash stuff even if things aren’t going your way at work. It’s your money. Won’t it distress you to buy new stuff?” she nagged. Nevertheless, she righted the coffee table and placed the lunch box on it.
Throughout it all, Wyatt remained motionless with his head cradled in his hands.
Noticing something amiss, Jessica sat beside him and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Wyatt finally reacted, turning to look at her. A glimmer of savagery flitted across his eyes, tinged with a hint of disorientation and something indescribable.
He then hugged her close to him, his arms tightening around her bit by bit.
Oh, how I wish to strangle her to death for having set me up and duped me! Even if she wanted revenge, she could’ve had someone else do it. No matter how much I disliked the man, he was still my biological father. But then, I can’t bring myself to hurt her because of my love for her. If it weren’t for my father and those few others doing such a thing, she wouldn’t have ended up without a family.
Jessica’s arms hurt from his tight grip, the pain so unbearable that she blurted, “You’re hurting me, Wyatt. W-What exactly is wrong with you?”
Wyatt buried his head in the hollow of her shoulder; his voice was hoarse. “Do you love me, Jessie?”
Without hesitation, Jessica replied, “Very much so.”
“How much?”
Jessica pondered for a while before teasing, “That depends on your performance. I’ll love you more if you’re good to me. But if otherwise, I won’t love you anymore. Instead, I’ll go and find another man!”
Sensing a pain in her arms once more, she hurriedly coaxed, “All right, all right. I love you and won’t go looking for another man. Stop acting like a kid. You’re really hurting me.”
“For real? You’re not lying to me?” Wyatt cradled her face, his eyes seemingly carrying some suppressed emotion.
He hid his emotions exceedingly well, so Jessica didn’t notice anything amiss. She planted a kiss on him. “Yes. I love you very much. Otherwise, why would I take care of your mother? It’s not like I’ve got nothing to do.”
Is it not because you feel guilty? She could’ve orchestrated a car accident for our entire family, yet she didn’t do so.
As Wyatt gazed into her limpid and earnest eyes, he recalled her meticulous care of Pamela. The fury within him dissipated by half, and he kissed her back. “I love you, too.”
As long as you love me, I’ll pretend as though I know nothing.
“Okay, let go of me now that you’ve kissed me.” Unceremoniously slapping his hand away, Jessica opened the lunch box and urged, “Get to work after you’ve had breakfast. You still need to handle the company’s matters.”
By then, Wyatt had turned energetic again. “What did you bring for me?”
“Oatmeal.”
In a flash, Wyatt’s face fell. “I’ve been eating this for three days, and it’s still this? Can’t I have something else?”
At his mournful expression, Jessica rolled her eyes at him. “You’ll be in the office for the entire day, so having oatmeal in the morning is more nourishing. Okay, fine. I’ll cook you something else tomorrow. Be good and eat, quick.”
While he had breakfast, Jessica helped to straighten the CEO’s office slightly. daily new chapters upload only on alaniniz(dot)com Verily, she was stumped. “You could’ve just gone someplace to vent if you were angry. Why did you have to destroy your office? You ruined this desktop that cost tens of thousands and this rosewood cabinet. You really deserve to end up bankrupt and experience life, Wyatt!”
Wyatt’s gaze dimmed, and he shrugged. “What could I do when my temper spiked?”
Jessica was promptly rendered speechless.
Pouring him a glass of water, she started after a brief hesitation, “My application for the university I submitted has been approved. I want to go and further my studies, so I might have to go abroad for some time—”
“No! You’re already good enough, Babe. I want you to stay by my side and keep me company,” Wyatt interrupted, seemingly a tad panicked.
“It wouldn’t be for long. I’ll come back a few times each month,” Jessica fibbed.
In truth, she knew that she might never come back again once she had gone abroad.
Even if Curtis and Theodore weren’t pressuring her into leaving, she would still do so. She only approached Wyatt for revenge, and her resolve had already weakened once. As such, she couldn’t allow herself to fall deeper.
Aware of her intention, Wyatt naturally disagreed. “No, no. I want to see you every day. Aren’t you carving my heart out to leave?”
Averting her gaze, Jessica hardened her heart and declared, “That’s a university I’ve worked toward for a very long time, and I really want to go. If you insist on having me make a choice between going abroad and you, let’s break up.”
“Wait for a bit longer, okay? I’ll go with you when I’ve settled everything in Lopez Group.” Wyatt held her hand in his and carefully kissed it.
“Wyatt Lopez—”
“Didn’t you say you love me? Or was that a lie? I want to go with you wherever you go. Hadn’t I said that I’d always remain by your side?” Wyatt gave Jessica a peck.
The debt has been paid, and she must be tired after suffering much, so it’s enough. Admittedly, I’ve fallen for her.
