Dear Sweetheart novel

Rayna glanced at the pool again before asking Curtis in an excited manner, “Can I take a dip in the pool

later?”

“No,” Curtis said flatly.

“You can’t swim anyway, so why did you build it? Just to look at it?”

Curtis nodded.

Rayna was so infuriated that she refused to speak to him anymore.

How petty!

Having tuned out Curtis’ refusal, Rayna finished her breakfast and took a rest. Noticing that the weather

was becoming warmer, she then went back to her bedroom and changed into her swimsuit before

plunging into the pool with glee.

The swimming pool took up the entire backyard, and Rayna flitted her legs gracefully in the water,

swimming back and forth happily.

It was far more enjoyable than swimming in a community pool.

After swimming for a while, Rayna made a fruit salad and a jug of fruit punch before heading back to the

pool with a laptop in her hands. She soaked in the water while eating dessert and reading her emails. It

was a blissful moment for her.

Not long after, Curtis came over in his wheelchair.

“Mr. Faymon!” Rayna greeted him with a smile before shoving a piece of mango into her mouth. “It’s such

a great idea from you to change the back garden into a swimming pool! It feels so nice.”

Curtis lowered his head to look at her. “I remember saying no to your request, Ms. Garland.”

“Hey, we’re family, aren’t we?” Rayna said shamelessly. “A pool is meant for swimming anyway. Isn’t it a

waste to just leave it like that?”

“The only way you make your point is by talking a lot.”

“I brought over some Red Hibernia. How about I make you a cup?” As Rayna climbed out of the pool, her

wet white swimsuit clung to her body, highlighting her beautiful figure.

Curtis felt his abdomen tightening all of a sudden.

Upon closer observation, Rayna seemed to have lost quite some weight. Although her waist had become

slimmer, she retained her usual curvaceous figure, her legs slender and fair.

He only had a glance before Rayna draped a towel over her body and entered barefoot into the house.

Curtis believed his decision to have Wyatt and his men build a swimming pool overnight was definitely

right when he thought about Rayna’s alluring figure attracting many perverts in the community pool.

He should be the only one who got to enjoy such a spectacular view.

Rayna then carried a small, round table with some coffee-making equipment to the garden and began to

make coffee skillfully without skipping any steps. Soon, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the

atmosphere.

“Have a taste.” Rayna passed the cup of coffee to him. “This is the authentic Red Hibernia!”

Curtis glanced at her as he took a sip of coffee from the cup. “Nicely brewed,” he complimented.

“Of course! I paid to learn from a master barista!” Rayna replied smugly. “To express my gratitude, Mr.

Faymon, I am gifting you with this pack of Red Hibernia. I’ll go take another dip in the pool, okay?”

Curtis merely hummed in acknowledgement.

Leaning back in his wheelchair, he slowly sipped his coffee as he watched Rayna swim in the pool. With

the glistening sunlight enveloping her figure, she looked like a mermaid.

Curtis felt comfortable and relaxed just watching her like that, and he found the time spent pleasant and

blissful.

Meanwhile, Rayna was unaware of his blazing gaze toward her and believed it was hot because of the

scorching sun. She found a shady spot to rest, then took her phone to reply to some messages when

she suddenly received a call.

Rayna took the call. “Hey, James.”

“Are you free later, Rayna?”

“Yes, I am,” Rayna replied. “Does this have anything to do with Mom moving?”

“No.” James sounded quite embarrassed to speak. “I’d like to invite you for a meal and introduce you to

someone.”

Rayna’s imagination went wild when she heard her brother’s awkward tone of voice. She felt slightly

nervous.

Oh, no!

Rayna wiped her face, knowing she would have to face the inevitable. She believed she could handle it.

“Sure. Why don’t we have lunch together? You can choose the restaurant you like.”

“Okay. I’ll send you the address in a bit.”

After they were done chatting, Rayna hurriedly climbed out of the pool and asked Curtis anxiously, “What

do I do? My brother’s bringing his boyfriend to meet me. What kind of gift should I prepare for him?”

Curtis cleared his throat. “You haven’t even seen that person, and you already assume it’s going to be

his boyfriend?”

“I’m eighty percent sure about it!” Rayna replied. “He sounded way too unusual. He should be happy

about having a girlfriend. I’m going upstairs to get changed. I’ll have to buy a present later!”

Curtis could not help but chuckle.

He was really impressed with Rayna. She has such a wild imagination!

Rayna spent a long time picking out an outfit. After deliberating for over half an hour, she finally came

downstairs and asked for Curtis’ opinion about her dress.

“Looks good.” Curtis pondered for a bit and added, “I’ll go with you.”

“That would be great!” Rayna was beyond touched. She was worried about being awkward by herself at

lunch, yet she was too embarrassed to tell Curtis. “Then I won’t be nervous anymore.”

I’m just worried that you’ll pass out from shock when you see that person, Curtis mused.

Rayna had wanted to get a gift for James’ partner, but Curtis told her it wasn’t necessary, and it might

even make them seem distant instead. His words made sense to her, so they went to the restaurant

directly without buying a present.

When Rayna wheeled Curtis into the restaurant, trying to look for James’ table, someone approached

them.

“Curt, you’re here too?”

Only then did Rayna realize the woman in front of her was Kristie.

What a ridiculous coincidence!

Kristie was usually dressed in flashy and extravagant outfits, but she was dressed as a pure and

innocent young girl that day, wearing a linen dress and a beret. She swept a glance at Rayna and

greeted politely, “Rayna.”
