Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 414

Soon, it was already past nine at night. As it was getting late, Rayna felt that it was time for her to head home.

Kristie did not stop her from leaving but merely asked to catch up at her place next time when she was less busy. Rayna readily agreed.

As Curtis was intending to leave as well, he grabbed his laptop and left together with Rayna.

Rayna was about to press the “close” button in the elevator when Curtis stepped in. The woman froze for a second before saying, “I’m going up. Why did you come in? You, you…”

“I didn’t want to wait outside,” Curtis replied placidly before continuing, “It’s warmer inside the elevator.”

How can it be cold outside when there’s central air-conditioning in the corridor?

Rayna commented inwardly while watching the elevator numbers light up in ascending order.

Even though there was an arm’s length distance between the two of them, Rayna could still smell the faint scent of tobacco on Curtis and feel his cold aura.

The woman shifted her gaze from the display panel to the elevator door. From the reflection, she could see Curtis looking down while scrolling on his phone with his slender finger.

The man had a tall build and carried himself in a mature and elegant manner.

Rayna started spacing out as she recalled that night when Curtis grabbed her feet and kissed her tenderly while looking at her affectionately as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.

Was that really him?

If it was him, why did he go off the next morning after leaving some money behind without sparing a thought for my feelings? Moreover, he looked really annoyed when we met again after we returned to the country.

As Rayna’s eyes shifted downward, she saw that Curtis had buttoned his shirt to the top, and his neck was barely visible.

Underneath that shirt were the man’s abs and Apollo’s belt that she had already seen and touched before.

Just then, Curtis looked up at the elevator door and met Rayna’s gaze. A faint smile appeared on his face as he asked, “Ms. Garland, aren’t you going to wipe off the drool on your face?”

Rayna wiped the corners of her lips at once but realized that there was nothing there.

When she turned around, she noticed the teasing glint in Curtis’ eyes and could feel herself simmering in anger.

What a scoundrel!

Just then, the babies in Rayna’s belly started throwing tantrums and launched a few powerful kicks against her stomach wall.

Rayna furrowed her brows as she clutched her belly with one hand.

Curtis’ expression changed when he noticed that. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” he asked softly and leaned in.

“I’m all right,” Rayna replied calmly, not wanting him to sense her discomfort. “I think I ate too much just now. I’m just having a bit of indigestion.”

The gaze in Curtis’ eyes darkened as he recalled that the woman was also feeling unwell earlier in the afternoon.

When the elevator door opened, the man held Rayna by the arm and said, “Let me walk you back. I’ll leave after that.”

“No need.” Rayna felt uneasy at the thought of Curtis holding other women the same way before and instinctively flung his hand away. “I can walk on my own.”

After saying that, she walked out of the elevator and disappeared from Curtis’ sight after the elevator door closed.

The man’s hand froze midair before he lowered it slowly. He was feeling frustrated as he could not understand why he was still so concerned about Rayna when they have already broken up.

Gabriel, who had been waiting for a while outside the condominium, opened the car door at once when he saw Curtis walking out.

“Mr. Faymon…” Gabriel greeted the man and was going to ask him about Kristie when he noticed the cold expression on his face. The assistant swallowed his words as a shiver ran down his spine.

He could tell that his boss was not in a good mood and decided that it was safer for him to keep quiet.

Gabriel got into the car cautiously and drove off silently, making sure that he did not do anything that might trigger Curtis.

The dome light in the car was switched on, illuminating Curtis’ face.

The man was sitting with his legs crossed as he reviewed some documents. As his neck was aching after working for a while, he turned toward the side and saw that it was completely dark outside.

After staring out of the window for a few minutes, Curtis reached into his suit pocket and took out a blue silk scarf. It was the only item belonging to Rayna that was still with him.
