Dear Sweetheart novel

After the lawyers checked the document, they kept one copy and gave them the other copy.

Boniel then received a blue enamel jewelry box from the butler after the formalities were settled.

“Winona.” Boniel called out to Rayna. Then, he handed the jewelry box to her. “I haven’t given you anything even

after you’ve been staying here for so long, so I’m gifting this jewelry set to you.”

Rayna thought the jewelry box looked a little familiar. I think I’ve seen this in an auction catalog previously. This

seems to be an expensive item.

If the box itself was already pricey, the jewelry pieces inside would be worth even more.

Still, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to refuse his gift since he gave it to her in front of so many people.

Therefore, she had no choice but to accept it.

“Thank you, Old Mr. Terblanc.”

Boniel flashed a faint smile. “We’re family, so you don’t have to be so formal with me.”

Jefferson, who was sitting beside her, glanced at the jewelry box. His gaze darkened, but he didn’t say a word.

Soon, the two lawyers picked up their briefcases and left.

As if he was certain he would be the ultimate winner of the bet-on agreement, Arnaud wore a cunning grin the

whole time. During the meal, the man even told Jefferson to let him know if he needed any help.

Rayna couldn’t stand looking at his pretentious demeanor. Dissatisfaction churned within her, preventing her from

enjoying the food.

After they were finally done with dinner, Rayna and Jefferson went upstairs together. Rayna immediately asked him

after the door was shut, “Which companies did your dad assign to you? Since he cares so much about you, I don’t

suppose he entrusted you with companies at Fandar?”

“No, that’s not the case.”

“Where is it, then?” she probed further. Noticing his slightly grim expression, Rayna felt very nervous as well. “Is it

companies at Zaewora? That area is relatively fine because the investors there are loaded.”

Jefferson handed the document to her and forced a smile. “One of the companies is at Chanaea’s capital, while the

other is at Jetroina’s Dellmoor.”

In actuality, he regretted his decision right after reading the content. He wanted to exchange companies with

Arnaud so badly because Chanaea was Rayna’s hometown.

Rayna quickly browsed through the pages after receiving the document. Then, she analyzed the circumstances.

“Aploth’s economy thrives most among all regions and is also heavily involved in export trades. The Terblanc

family’s business has yet to expand to Aploth, so they haven’t explored the market there. The companies your dad

assigned to you are all located in the most economically developed cities. The business will grow exponentially if

you manage the companies with well-planned strategies and attract more investors. Jefferson, your dad is paving

the way for you. As long as you can establish and expand the market at Aploth, even if Arnaud acquires the

Terblanc family after three years, he won’t earn as much as you.”

In contrast to Rayna, who seemed rather excited, Jefferson wore a long face with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.

Naturally, he could figure out Boniel’s intention, but…

He gazed at her and said, “I will devise a plan and send some of the best elites there. Belle, you’ve been pushing

yourself too hard for my sake. I hope you can stay in the manor and get plenty of rest.”

She shook her head in refusal. “This manor is not ours. Arnaud will come back here occasionally. Not to mention,

he’s a meticulous and sharp person. If we stay together for too long, he will undoubtedly sense something is off.”

Jefferson moved closer to her and responded anxiously, “I’ve purchased a few other properties at various locations.

You can follow me to check out the houses and pick whichever you want to stay—”

Rayna interjected him, “Jefferson, I wish to assist you. Three years is not considered long. It’ll be easy if Arnaud

wishes to arrange spies in your companies. You need someone trustworthy to help you manage the companies at

Aploth.”

“There are many people I can trust. Ringo can also head over there.” Jefferson pressed his forehead against her

hand. “I just don’t want you to overtire yourself while you’re pregnant. I…”

Rayna knew the thoughts passing through his mind. She pursed her lips. “We’ve already broken up. I’ve also said I

will take care of the babies independently. I only called my mom twice after leaving for so long. I kind of miss her.”

“If Ms. Linda is willing, I can arrange for her to stay here.”

“My mom enjoys light cooking and lives her days managing her store. She won’t be used to the monotonous

lifestyle here.” She caressed his short hair and chirped, “Aren’t you going as well? So, what are you afraid of?”

Jefferson was momentarily stumped.

Of course I’m afraid. I know she’s still in love with Curtis. I might’ve caused a misunderstanding between them and

prompted them to break up, but I know she still misses him all the time.

Upon returning to Chanaea, Rayna would undoubtedly have frequent interactions with Curtis at work, so Jefferson

was worried his doings might be exposed and Rayna would despise him for what he did.

After taking a deep breath, Jefferson said to her, “I’ll go back to Chanaea with you. Once there are people to help

me out there, and the companies are on track, we’ll come back together.”

Before Rayna could refuse, he added, “Belle, you are pregnant with triplets. I hope you can give birth to the babies

in a conducive environment. Considering your expected delivery date, Yartran’s weather wouldn’t be too cold even

though it’s winter.”

He held her hands and felt the warmth of her palms. His blue eyes shone with a hint of tenderness. “Belle, what do

you think of my suggestion?”

“You have a point.” She didn’t doubt his intention and nodded in agreement. “We’ll see how it goes. After dealing

with all the company matters, we’ll return here together.”

Only then did he flash a faint smile in relief. “Okay.”

A week later, Rayna and Jefferson finished packing their belongings and headed to the airport to prepare for their

return to Chanaea.

They rested inside the VIP room while waiting for the departure time.

When they were about to board the plane, a flight attendant hurried over and halted Jefferson. “Mr. Hamilton, I’m

terribly sorry, but your travel visa to Chanaea has expired, so you cannot board the plane.”

“How is that possible?” Jefferson took out his passport and noticed his travel visa had indeed expired. His face

darkened at once. “Why didn’t you all discover this earlier?”

The flight attendant immediately apologized, “We are very sorry. This is our negligence. You will have to renew your

travel visa. Otherwise, even if you board the plane, you will only get stuck at the interchange airport.”

Jefferson frowned.

No matter how efficiently his subordinates handled that issue, he had to wait at least two days before receiving the

new passport.

“I got it.” He sent the flight attendant away and took out his phone while saying to Rayna, “I’ll ask Ringo to prepare

a private plane. We’ll take the private plane to Chanaea.”

“That’s too troublesome, not to mention we need to contact the air traffic control. Besides, Ringo is also busy at the

moment.” She placed her hand on his. “It only takes a few days to renew the travel visa. I’ll go back first. You can

catch up with me after you’re done.”

“No. I’ll be worried if you go back alone.”

She smiled. “I’m a translator. Are you afraid I’ll get lost at the interchange airport? It’s decided then. I’ll go back

first, and you can come to look for me after you renew your travel visa.”

Jefferson could only nod reluctantly as he couldn’t convince her otherwise.

When sending her to board the plane, he repeatedly reminded her that it was fine even if she lost her belongings

and the top priority was to take care of herself. He also told her to call him once she arrived at the interchange

airport.

His reaction amused Rayna, and she finally managed to pull her hand out from his grasp after a long while of

convincing him she would be all right.

Rayna bought the first-class cabin tickets, so her seat was spacious, and the environment was quiet. The

stewardess’ service was also excellent. By the time she woke up from her nap, she was already close to reaching

the interchange airport.

Upon arriving at the interchange airport, she contacted Jefferson to update her whereabouts. After waiting for over

an hour, she boarded the plane again and took the flight heading toward Chanaea.

At ten o’clock in the morning the following day, the plane landed at Norwal City Airport.

The trip back to Norwal City after a few months of being away invoked a sense of familiarity within Rayna, as if she

were returning to her hometown.
