Dear Sweetheart novel

Pursing her lips, she walked over.

“Mr. Faymon.”

As soon as Curtis looked up and saw Rayna, he whispered into the phone and ended the call. Then, he

got up and helped her pull out the chair across from his before she could do it.

The waiter brought the menu over after that. Rayna looked at the menu and casually placed an order.

After the waiter left, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Faymon, why did you think of inviting me to

dinner? Is something wrong?”

“No. I just want to treat you to dinner.” Curtis flashed her a faint smile.

Rayna found that Curtis seemed to look happier and more at ease. Before that, he was indifferent and

standoffish despite being easy to get along with. The difference made her feel bitter.

Is it because of the engagement?

Curtis took out a dark blue gift box from his pocket and pushed it to Rayna. “Ms. Garland, here’s a gift

for you.”

Rayna took the gift box and opened it.

On the velvet cloth nestled a necklace. The end of the necklace was engraved with the Anglandurn

name of Van Cl*ef & A*pels, while the pendant was a Ferropenean word—Néonatal—cut out of

diamonds.

Néonatal meant new life.

Rayna was dazzled by the gleaming jewelry. After a few seconds, she closed the gift box and pushed it

back to Curtis. “Thanks, Mr. Faymon, for your kindness. I can’t accept this. In fact, I can afford the

jewels myself. You should also ask Naomi to take back the little castle you gave me previously.”

“Ms. Garland, I just wanted to express my gratitude to you with the gifts. Nothing else. You can afford

them too, so they are not a burden to you,” replied Curtis.

Rayna shook her head. “I’ve done nothing to deserve it, Mr. Faymon. I’m already very grateful that you

gave me a house that costs eight hundred thousand, so I’ll definitely work for Faymon Group and you,

Mr. Faymon, with all my heart.”

Her indifferent tone and the way she addressed him brought a frown to his face. He was a little

annoyed.

He felt that it was much nicer for her to call him “Uncle Curtis”.

“Take it as a congratulatory gift, then.” Curtis pushed the gift box over again and raised the corners of

his thin lips. “I haven’t congratulated you yet on your transfer to the Department of Regulators as a

manager.”

“It’s all right.”

Before Rayna could finish her sentence to reject his gift, Curtis pressed his hand on the gift box and

gazed at her, making Rayna’s hand tremble. In the end, she accepted the gift.

After the food was served, they began to eat and rarely talked.

Occasionally, Curtis would ask her about her work and if it was difficult to deal with, while she would tell

him that everything was fine. She wanted to ask him about his engagement, but she could not bring

herself to do it.

By the time they finished the dinner and left the restaurant, it was still drizzling, making the air a little

stuffy.

Curtis drove the car over and insisted on sending Rayna back.

It was so quiet inside the car that Rayna could even hear her own breathing. She turned her head

sideways to look at Curtis, who was driving and pursed her lips. “Mr. Faymon, congratulations on your

engagement.”

Curtis responded in acknowledgment and added, “Initially, it’s sufficient for our two families to have a

meal together for the engagement, but Jasmine’s status in the Sanders family is rather special, so I told

the media to issue a notice, trying to make it look good for her.”

“Is that so? It seems that you dote on Ms. Sanders a lot.” Rayna tightened her grip on the gift box in her

hand, feeling upset. “Your tone even changes at the mention of Ms. Sanders. You seem really happy.”

Curtis could sense that something was wrong with Rayna’s tone, so he looked at her out of the corner

of his eye. She was holding the gift box tightly with her head lowered and lips pursed, but he could not

see the look on her face clearly. A strange feeling swelled in him.

Has she fallen in love with me?

Curtis tugged at his tie as he wanted to talk about something with her, but in the end, he said, “There’s

a document in the drawer in front of you. Take a look at it when you’re home. I need your help with

something.”

“Okay,” Rayna replied as she opened the drawer of the car and took out a document.

At first, the rain was gradually easing off when they left the restaurant, but it became heavier. Soon, the

rain was now drumming on the car windows.

Turning his head sideways slightly, Curtis glanced at the rearview mirror, and a sneer flashed across

his eyes as if he had seen something. Then, he slammed on the accelerator, jerking the car forward.

Rayna jolted backward as she instinctively gripped the grab handle and reminded, “Mr. Faymon, you

should drive slowly on rainy days.”

It’s not like I’m in a rush to head home.

Just as she finished speaking, there was suddenly a car with high beams that went against the traffic in

front of the car she was in. Its dazzling light blinded her. All she knew was that the car she was in was

shaking and had bumped into something hard.

The world around her began to spin as she was nearly thrown out of her seat. The airbag popped and

pressed on her. In the next second, the car rolled over, tossing her around and making her feel dizzy.
