Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 571

He silently took in Sandy’s gentle demeanor as she chatted with Rayna. He yearned for her love, but when he thought about the aggressive way she had acted back at the restaurant, he looked away and out of the window while clenching his fists.

He knew Sandy did not want to acknowledge who he was. She was only pleasant because Rayna was around.

He knew that because she had never once spared a glance at him from the very second she entered the room.

After a while of chatting with Rayna, Sandy thought it was late and time to leave.

“Rest well, Rayna. I’ll come and visit you again if I’m free tomorrow.” Then, when she saw Rayna’s protruding stomach, she gasped. “Did your stomach grow larger?”

“Mm-hmm. The babies are getting bigger very quickly.”

“It must be tough on you.” Sandy held Rayna’s hand before rising to her feet.

However, instead of hastily leaving the room, Sandy looked at Jefferson, who was by the windowsill, and said, “Rayna needs to rest, so I doubt she’ll need any company now. Why don’t you send me off instead?”

Rayna blinked in surprise, but she came back to her senses a second later. “Yes, I’m a little tired, and I’d like to take a nap. Jefferson, send Ms. Sandy off, will you?”

Rayna would be delighted if the relationship between Jefferson and Sandy improved.

Like Rayna, Jefferson was not expecting Sandy to say that to him. He was taken aback for a second, but he soon bobbed his head in agreement and said something to Rayna before leaving with Sandy.

The two of them walked down the corridor and headed toward the elevator.

The gentle expression on Sandy’s face was gone. What replaced it was a look of indifference. “Let’s find a place and take a seat.”

Jefferson answered, “Okay.”

After exiting the hospital, Jefferson surveyed his surroundings before leading Sandy to the café beside the hospital.

Once they found a table and sat down, he asked politely, “What would you like to drink?”

“A cup of lemon water. Thank you,” Sandy said to the server instead.

Her actions made it awkward for Jefferson, but he only adjusted his glasses in silence.

After putting her bag aside, Sandy started, “Rayna was the one who told me that you weren’t at fault, and she also told me not to hate you when I see you in the future. I’m only doing this because of her.”

Disappointment bloomed in Jefferson’s chest when he heard that, and his heart ached.

I see. She still doesn’t want to accept me. She’s only pleasant with me because Rayna talked to her.

Jefferson swallowed. “If you don’t want to see me, why did you invite me here?”

Right then, the server brought a cup of coffee and a glass of lemon water to them.

Sandy lifted her glass and sipped on her lemon water. There were no expressions on her face, and her tone was downright frigid.

“You know that Rayna’s stomach will get bigger as time passes. She needs someone to take care of her, and you know whose children she’s pregnant with. It’s difficult to avoid fights in life between a couple, but things will work out well in the end.” Sandy lifted her head to look at him. “Leave Norwal City. The further you go, the better.”

Jefferson tightened his grip on the cup at that, and he did not even notice the burning sensation in his palm.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly started laughing.

“I was the one who was about to marry Belle, and Curtis was the one who sabotaged my wedding. If someone is the homewrecker here, it’s none other than Curtis, who’s trying to separate me and Belle. Why should I leave Norwal City? I know you hate me, and it’s fine even if you don’t acknowledge me as your son. It doesn’t matter to me…” He paused and gripped his cup. “But you can’t be this selfish.”

I’m not the one in the wrong. Why must I be the one who gives up now?

Sandy sneered and said without reservation, “I’m not being selfish. It’s because there’s no chance between you and Rayna. I don’t want to see you pestering my daughter-in-law forever!”

Jefferson asked, “Am I such a revolting person to you?”
