Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335 To Give You A Present
Jessica’s heart skipped a beat. Though she wanted to refuse, she could not do so.
Finally, she nodded. “Okay.”
Just then, the phone rang, which gave her some time to calm herself. Seeing Jasmine as the caller, Jessica let Wyatt continue eating while she stepped aside to take the call.
As soon as the call connected, Jasmine asked, “Mr. Tylinski says Curtis and Nana are facing some problems. What happened?”
Since it was safer to have fewer people know about the matter, Jessica decided to say, “I’m not sure, either, but I think they broke up. Nobody knows where Nana is now.”
“Huh? But how—”
Jessica’s eyes glinted, and she whispered, “This is their matter. We shouldn’t interfere. Anyway, are you and your son allergic to cats? Nana’s Ragdoll cat is still in the condominium. I’m afraid I’ll do a poor job of taking care of it. Can you please help to take care of it until Nana returns?”
She feared she might not be able to contact Jasmine in time if she found an opportunity to flee.
Rayna had accompanied Jefferson to Frosa and could not return for the time being. Hence, the Ragdoll cat needed someone to take care of it.
“Sure. Carl loves cats,” Jasmine agreed to it immediately. Still worried about Rayna, she asked, “But isn’t Curtis worried about Nana? She’s missing, after all.”
“I think so? Anyway, Nana says she’ll call me if something happens.”
Jasmine hummed in response. “All right. Let me know if she does. I’ll definitely be able to help out if it’s something within my power.”
“Of course.”
After hanging up, Jessica returned to the couch.
Wyatt asked curiously, “Was that Jasmine?”
“Yes. She says Carl likes cats, so I let them take Nana’s Ragdoll cat home to take care of it. I’m afraid something might happen to the cat if I don’t check on it often,” explained Jessica.
Wyatt looked up and stared at her. “Is it really not because you’re trying to make arrangements before running away?”
A rush of panic flooded into Jessica’s heart. She punched him angrily and snapped, “Hey, I’m not that immoral, okay? It’s because your mom doesn’t like pets that shed fur. If you keep saying that, I’ll just return to the condominium. Why bother wasting my energy taking care of you when you think of me as a bad person? You’re horrible!”
Wyatt grabbed her hand and grinned. “There, there. I’m just afraid. It’s my fault, okay? I’ll make you some dinner tonight. How about that?”
“Hmph. Can you really call your cooking dinner? I bet even animals won’t eat it.”
A hurt expression spread over Wyatt’s face. “Babe, don’t be like that. I’m really talented at cooking. You just never realized it.”
“Ugh. I’m not talking to you anymore. I need to get to work.” With that, she snatched the bowl from him and deftly packed the lunch box. Just as she got up to leave, Wyatt grabbed her hand.
He feared she would run away if he let her go. After all, she had gotten her revenge. There was nothing that could make her stay.
Could she be lying when she said she loved me?
Right then, Jessica turned around and warned, “Let go. I’m going to be late if I don’t leave now.”
Wyatt squeezed her hand tightly before slowly letting it go. “Thank you for your hard work, Jessie. Please remember that I love you and will always be by your side.”
“I know. Stop being so cheesy.” Jessica forcefully pulled her hand away.
At that very moment, a secretary knocked on the door. Hearing that, Jessica hurriedly removed her hand and rushed out the door, saying to the secretary tactfully, “It’s a little messy in there. Please get some cleaners to clean it up.”
G-Get some cleaners?
The secretary was so close to misunderstanding the entire situation when she saw Jessica’s expression. Reminding herself of her role as a secretary, the former suppressed her curiosity and calmly gave a brief answer.
After getting permission to enter the CEO’s office, the secretary realized the office was in a complete mess. She took in a deep breath and spotted Wyatt on the couch with his head lowered, looking utterly dejected.
Seeing that, the secretary quietly put down the documents and went out to get the cleaners.
She dared not ask him a single question.
Meanwhile, Jasmine had arranged a time with Jessica and gotten the keys to Rayna’s house through a courier service. Just as she was on the way to the condominium to get the cat, she received a call from Carl, who said he wanted to tag along as well.
Thus, Jasmine brought him along to get the cat from the condominium.
The condominium’s floor was covered in dust since it had been unoccupied for many days. The Ragdoll kitten sat curled up on the couch in the living room. It was not shy when it saw Jasmine and Carl entering the house.
It made its way over with its short legs and lay on Carl’s feet.
Noting that, Carl squatted and patted it. Clearly, he liked the cat. “Mommy, is this Ms. Garland’s cat?”
“Yes. She’s not around, so we’ll have to take care of it for the time being,” Jasmine said while opening the cage and putting the Ragdoll cat in it. “You’ve got to take good care of it when we get back, okay?”
“Don’t worry, Mommy. Ms. Garland’s cat is my cat. I’ll definitely take good care of it.”
Jasmine knocked his head gently. “Tsk. Look at you. I can’t believe you already know how to please someone at such an age. I heard that you were even eyeing Rayna’s unborn baby, eh?”
To her surprise, Carl said matter-of-factly, “I’m just worried I won’t be able to find a wife when I go to the army. So, I want to find a partner before that happens.”
“What if the baby is a boy?”
Carl thought about it before saying, “Then, she’ll give birth to another one. She definitely won’t just have one baby. If not, no one will inherit her good looks anymore. It’ll be a pity.”
Shaking her head, Jasmine commented, “You and your cheeky ideas. I really wonder if you’re my child. You’re not like your dad or me.”
Carl responded, “Of course I am! Who knows? I might’ve just inherited Daddy’s hidden attribute that you didn’t know of.”
Jasmine did not know whether to laugh or cry in response to that.
As they were leaving the condominium with the cat, Carl asked, “Will Daddy really return during Christmas?”
Jasmine immediately smacked her forehead. She had been so busy at Sanders Group that she forgot to tell Carl about Theodore. “Oh! I almost forgot all about it. Your dad’s back. He’s in Norwal City now.”
Carl’s eyes lit up instantly. “Really?’
“Yes. I’m not lying to you. Your daddy will be shocked if he sees you. I’ll get him to have dinner with us tonight,” Jasmine said with a smile while patting his head.
“Hurry up and tell Daddy, then.” Carl had not seen his father in many years. Now that he had found out he was meeting the latter soon, he got excited and urged Jasmine to make a call.
At that, Jasmine smiled and pulled out her phone to call Theodore.
Meanwhile, Carl held his breath.
It did not take long before the call got through. Theodore was the first to speak. “What’s up?”
“Let’s have dinner at my house tonight.” Glancing at Carl, Jasmine added, “I have a huge present for you.”
However, Theodore did not agree to it right away.
Jasmine’s heart sank when there was no answer from him. “Is your mom making things difficult for you?”
“No. It’s my dad. He got hurt at Xyperia.” Theodore’s tone was laced with helplessness and worry.
“Is it serious?”
“No, but the troops are scattered. So, I’ve got to go over to help and will have to stay there for some time. My flight is at eleven o’clock. I’m afraid I can’t have dinner with you tonight,” said Theodore apologetically.
Jasmine glanced at her watch.
It’s already ten o’clock.
She asked, “Are you flying from Norwal City Airport?”
“Yes.”
“Wait for me there!” With that, she hung up and ran to the car with Carl. “Your daddy’s leaving the country soon. I’m taking you to the airport now.”
The situation at Xyperia was extremely tense. There was no telling when Theodore would come back once he left.
