Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 461

It started to rain heavily when it was about five in the afternoon.

Even if the windows were installed with soundproofing rubber, Rayna could still hear the water droplets pattering violently against the glass window.

She pulled open the curtains and looked outside the window. It was pitch dark outside, and she could only see the lights coming out of the dining room.

It’s raining so heavily. When will it stop?

She had too much to eat that day, so much so that she didn’t have much appetite at night as well. She even told the kitchen not to prepare anything for her when they called to ask. Then, she sent a text to Carl and asked what was going on back home.

Carl replied that he was fine with the food that he was having, but he still preferred the food that Rayna and Jasmine made. Then, he texted Rayna again, saying that he was fine with any food as long as it was not prepared by Curtis.

Rayna was utterly amused.

She thought Curtis was a decent enough cook. Hence, she was curious why Carl seemed traumatized by his cooking.

Carl sent another text: Ms. Rayna, my mommy has gone overseas for a long time. She hasn’t called me since.

Rayna: Not even a text?

Carl: Yes, my calls always go into the mailbox. Could anything has happened to her?

Just when Rayna was about to reply to him, a sudden loud bang outside startled her. Her vision went dark, and her phone slipped out of her hand.

The phone’s screen went black after it hit the floor.

The curtains were drawn in the room. After her phone screen went dark, so did the room. Rayna couldn’t see a single thing.

Fear crept up her skin right then. Rayna was crippled by the fear that a monster would suddenly come out of the ground and devour her. She anxiously crouched down to feel for her phone but to no avail.

Thunder continued to roar outside. The lightning strikes were like lost souls clawing for lives.

Rayna was so terrified that she dared not even try to look for her phone anymore. Instead, she tried to reach for her bed.

After her legs touched the sides of the bedframe, she scrambled into her bed and pulled the covers over her head.

Meanwhile, in the room opposite Rayna, Curtis was having a video conference.

Thunder crackled outside the window when he was just a few minutes into the meeting. The room was plunged into darkness all of a sudden, save for the light emanating from Curtis’ computer screen.

The person on the other end of the call was startled as well. “Mr. Faymon, did the electricity go out on your side?”

“It’s all right. My laptop’s fully charged, and my internet is working as well.” Curtis switched on the torchlight on his phone to illuminate the documents in front of him. The blackout didn’t affect his work at all. “Go on.”

As the thunder continued to boom, Curtis’ thoughts fell into disarray. He suddenly thought about Rayna.

With the rumbling thunder and blackout, he wondered if she was fine.

He was overcome with worry. He put down the documents, said that it was getting late, and told the other person to continue with the meeting tomorrow. Then, he took his phone and headed outside.
