Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352

It was nearly impossible for Rayna to meet his gaze.

In the end, she decided to lie. Smiling, she shook her head and replied, “No, I won’t leave you. I will always be by your side.”

“Really?” Jefferson’s eyes lit up. It was as if he was rejuvenated when he heard her reply. Then, he dragged her to the dining area.

“I cooked your favorite dishes for lunch,” he said.

A pang of guilt struck Rayna’s heart. She tried her best to put on a radiant smile and sat next to him at the table before praising him. “Your culinary skills have improved greatly, Chef Hamilton!”

“Eat more,

then.”

“Don’t worry. I will definitely finish all the food you cooked!”

Her words delighted Jefferson greatly. With a chuckle, he served her a bowl of soup.

As Rayna was gobbling the food down, a bit of white cream got on the corner of her mouth. He reached out to wipe it off with his thumb, but she instinctively inched away and evaded his touch.

Jefferson paused in his motion, a gloomy look clouding his eyes.

Rayna had an awkward expression on her face as she whispered, “It’s a subconscious reaction… Don’t take it to heart.”

“I got carried away. Very soon, he revealed a warm smile and handed her a napkin. “There’s still plenty of time. I’m sure I can wait till the day you accept me”

Nodding, she said, “In one month, you will be well again!”

Jefferson put some food on her plate. It was not until minutes later he spoke again. “The hotel is too boring: I don’t want to stay here anymore. I want to stay at a place with more people and a garden.”

“Sure. I will look for a place like that later in the afternoon,” said Rayna hurriedly. She was also aware that staying in a hotel was akin to staying in prison. It was not a surprise that he was getting bored. “Let’s plant camellias in the garden.”

Jefferson recalled that woman’s sharp words and how she had looked at him resentfully at the restaurant in Norwal City that day. His heart ached terribly, as if countless knives were stabbed into his chest. The agonizing pain suffocated him.

He cast his eyes downward and said softly, “No, I don’t like camellias. I never want to see this flower ever again in this lifetime.”

Camellias made him realize just how filthy his birth was. For the past twenty–odd years, he had been living in

a dream.

Rayna felt her throat tighten upon remembering the hardships he had experienced in the past. “Sure. We will plant green roses instead Back when we went on a trip to Hallsbay, you gave me green roses, and I like them very much.”

Jefferson looked up at her and asked, “So you knew?”

“Yes, I do” Tears started to well up in her eyes, and she was at a loss for words. “You’re so foolish. Why do you like to keep everything to yourself? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Yeah. If I had told you everything earlier on, things would have been better,” muttered Jefferson.

Chapter 352

If I had been more despicable and courageous to tell her the truth and keep her by my side forcefully, I wouldn’t have had to worry about Curtis right now. As it turns out, the order in which one appears in another person’s life doesn’t matter when it comes to love. Most of the time, the most despicable person would wound up winning instead

“Let’s eat.” Rayna reined back those sad emotions and changed the topic. Putting some food on his plate, she suggested with a smile, “After lunch, let’s go out and view houses together. It won’t rain today!”

Jefferson smiled as well. “Okay.”

Once they were done with the meal, she helped him clean up. The two of them left the hotel around half past one in the afternoon.

Rayna managed to find a few decent residential areas with good accessibility using the local real estate websites. After making appointments with the property agents, she drove Jefferson for the viewing.

The two of them traveled around the metropolitan area and viewed houses for more than an hour. Finally, they decided on a small mansion located in a residential area on Lavanya Road. It came with a garden, as Jefferson had requested.

That residential area seemed to be favored by Chanaeans. When Rayna and Jefferson were on the way there, they met quite a number of Chanaeans who greeted them warmly.

After signing the agreement and transferring the payment, the duo returned to the hotel to pack up their belongings.

She waited for him to take a bite before leaning over to ask for his opinion. “So? How is it? It’s delicious, isn’t

it?”
