Dear Sweetheart novel

“Thank you.” She took the key from the boy. I must have dropped it at the counter just now.

“You’re welcome. Be careful next time!” the boy said. Upon noticing the laces on Rayna’s heels had

gotten loose, he squatted down and helped her fasten them.

Jessica exclaimed, “What an adorable kid! Others would have called us madams. Not only is he sweet,

but he’s also caring. What a gentleman!”

The boy’s action also caught Rayna by surprise.

She thought it was inappropriate for her to reward the boy with money, so she took a few bottles of

yogurt drinks out of the shopping bag and gave them to him. She smiled at him and said, “Thanks for

giving me back my car key and helping me with my lace-up heels. I can’t think of a better way to thank

you, so here you go—these drinks are for you.”

“Don’t mention it. I’m glad I could help.” The boy waved a dismissive hand instead of accepting the

drinks.

Rayna gently pulled his hand over and gave him the drinks. “This is a token of appreciation from me. I

might not be able to drive home tonight had you not given me back the key.”

“Come on, take the drinks. They’re delicious!” Jessica thought he looked cute, so she took the

opportunity to pinch his cheeks. My goodness, they’re so soft and tender!

After the boy had accepted the drinks, a thirty-year-old rushed over.

“Could you not run around?” the woman reprimanded the boy and helped him put his mask on. “Didn’t I

tell you to put your mask on? Look at the dust around you!”

The boy was annoyed. “What dust? We’re in a shopping mall, for goodness sake. I even can’t breathe

properly with this mask on.”

“Of course, there is dust everywhere, especially when people are walking around you,” the woman

uttered. Upon noticing the yogurt drinks in his hand, she snatched them from him and asked, “Where

did you get these?”

Rayna stepped in. “I gave him the drinks. He found my car key, and I gave him these as a thank-you

gift…”

“No, thanks. He doesn’t like to drink all these!” The inconsiderate woman tossed the yogurt drinks into

a bin without hesitation.

“Hey, how could you—” Jessica was about to explode in rage.

Rayna immediately pulled Jessica away as she could tell that the impolite woman was the boy’s nanny.

After responding with a grin, she said to the woman, “I’m so sorry. We didn’t know that. Anyway, I

appreciate this little guy’s help. We’re gonna go now.”

Rayna then dragged Jessica with her, leaving the boy and the nanny standing at the supermarket’s

entrance.

“Come on, let’s go.” The nanny held the boy’s hand, yet she could not stop mumbling, “You shouldn’t

have picked up random things from the floor. There might be germs all over that car key! I’m sure

someone else would have picked that up and returned them the key.”

All of a sudden, the boy pulled his hand away from her.

His reaction caught the woman off guard. When she turned around to look for the boy, he was already

rummaging through the bin, looking for the yogurt drinks.

The nanny caught up with him. “Leave them in the bin. Tell me what you want, and I’ll buy it!”

“The germs would have wiped out the entire human race if they were that scary!” The grim-faced young

boy raised his voice after pulling down his mask. “I only get to leave the house three times a week, and

whenever I’m out, you’d always make me put on a mask and wear a cap. You said you didn’t want me

exposed to germs, but deep in your heart, you just didn’t want me to be seen in public!”

The nanny was bereft of words as she did not expect him to figure that out.

“If you feel bored staying at home, I’ll try to get your mom’s permission to take you out more often,” the

nanny said. “Your mom is just worried about your safety. All right, let’s go home, shall we?”

“Leave those drinks in the bin. I’ll get you new ones,” she added.

“No! They’re my reward!” The boy hugged the yogurt drinks. To children, rewards meant the world to

them if someone appreciated their help.

“How could you take something out from the trash bin…” The nanny panicked.

The boy shot daggers at her and replied aloofly, “Why can’t I? Listen carefully—you’re just a nanny my

mom hired to take care of me, so you better show me some respect. If you try to be rude or throw my

things away again, I’ll fire you! For your information, I don’t need my mom’s permission to do that!”

“All right, all right. I’ll not do it again.” The nanny broke out in a cold sweat.

The boy might be young, but he exuded a domineering aura that would cause anyone to shudder.

After letting out a cold snort, he took down his cap, tossed it to the nanny, and walked away while

hugging the yogurt bottles. The childcare worker had no choice but to catch up with him while carrying

his cap and mask.

Meanwhile, all the Faymon Group employees were still hyped about their CEO’s engagement.

Curtis even delivered wedding favors to the office a few days later.

This time, the wedding favors were custom-made by Saint Confectionery. Each box contained only ten

chocolates, but its retail price was up to the thousands. Curtis even gave everyone in Faymon Group

around six thousand as monetary gifts.
