Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658

“You're the sweetest talker around.” Petronella held Jovan's hand with a soft smile on her face. When her gaze landed on Sheena, she waved at her. “Sheena, you're here too? Come, come to me.”

Right as Sheena was about to take a step forward, her eyes drifted toward Jovan, who was standing behind the elderly woman, and she froze.

“What's going on?” Petronella asked, noticing the stiffening of Sheena's body. She then turned to Jovan and asked. “Brat, did you bully Sheena again?”

“I didn't! Why would I dare to do that?” Jovan cried out as the elderly woman smacked liis aim. He then lifted liis head to look at Sheena and raised liis hand toward her. “Do come over.”

At that, Irina gave Sheena a push. “Sheena, Jovan's calling you.”

Irina's reminder snapped the dazed Sheena back to her senses. She then glanced at Irina, her parents, and Isaac.

Lifting her skill, she started walking toward Jovan, and when she reached him, she placed her hand in liis palm.

“Good, good.” Petronella was all smiles as she looked at them.

As Jovan held Sheena's hand, liis eyes landed on her cheek. Right then, a voice echoed in his head while someone else's face appeared in his mind.

“Jefferson. Jefferson Hamilton...”

“Why are you ignoring me? Hey. do you think I look good in this?”

“Jefferson, I hate you!”

“I never want to see you again, Jefferson Hamilton!”

“Jo, what's the matter?” Petronella called out when she noticed something amiss with Jovan.

Jovan came back to his senses to find out that he had been gripping Sheena's hand too tightly. Even Sheena had a grimace on her face from the force around her hand.

The moment Jovan let go of her, Sheena retracted her hand and began looking at Jovan with anger in her eyes.

Right then, the butler came out of the dining room and said, “Mr. Eastbridge, Mi s. Eastbridge. Old Mrs. Eastbridge, the food is ready.” His words cut through the tense atmosphere in the living room.

“Let's take a seat.” Isaac gestured at Sheena's parents before giving Jovan, who was still rooted to liis spot, a warning look.

In the meantime, Jahan and Silas shared a look before entering the dining room.

Ever since she came back from Jefferson's grave, Rayna had been staying with the children. While Curtis was reading company documents in the study by himself, he mulled over the young couple he bumped into at the graveyard.

The way that young man had looked at and talked with Rayna somehow made a wave of repulsion wash across Curtis.

Knock, knock, knock.

Right then, someone knocked on the door. Then. Rayna's voice sounded out behind the door. “Can I come in?”

“Sure.” Curtis closed the file in front of him and walked toward the door. At the same time, the housekeeper pushed the door open for Rayna to enter. When Curtis stepped forward to hold her, liis gaze landed on her clothes—the ones she was wearing earlier in the day—and he frowned.
