Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 13

Cheated On Him Besides… Rayna clenched her handbag tightly. She planned to give Julian a big surprise tonight. If Curtis was here, it would be difficult for her to explain some things. “Your Uncle Curtis is so busy. I doubt he’s coming. Don’t you remember your wedding dinner? You sent an invitation to him and he said he would attend, but he didn’t come in the end and only sent his assistant to deliver a monetary gift to you. I suppose he’s not coming today either.”

Since Julian couldn’t curry favor with Curtis, Rolanda did not want anyone else to do so too. Astrid’s lips twitched, and she tried her best to maintain her smile. “Aunt Rolanda, why don’t you go in and take a seat first? I have to entertain other guests.” Rolanda nodded with a smile and strode into the banquet hall. Rayna did not say a word throughout the entire exchange. She just felt that she had underestimated Rolanda and her sharp tongue. Astrid was so outraged by Rolanda’s words that her face turned pale. After entering the banquet hall, Rayna finally knew why Julian had disappeared just now. It turned out the homewrecker, Meredith Jones, was here too. She was dressed in an ivory gown and standing very close to Julian. Julian even led her to greet Rolanda. Meredith and Rolanda pretended as if they had just met for the first time today. Rayna thought it was hilarious as she watched the three of them put on an act in front of her. As an outsider, Meredith was supposed to sit at another table. However, Rolanda insisted on having Meredith sit next to her with the reason that she wanted to thank Meredith for taking care of Julian in the company.

This made Rayna feel like an outsider instead. There was an empty seat right next to Rayna at the large table for twelve people. Rayna was a little nervous at first, but she felt relieved after looking around. All the other tables were full, and they were waiting for the dinner to start. Looks like Curtis won’t be coming. Those relatives of the Faymon family were no pushovers. Seeing Meredith sitting next to Rolanda, they looked at Rayna gloatingly. It appeared they were telling Rayna that she was not a competent daughter-in-law. Julian said a few words to comfort Rayna and even scooped some food

for her. After a while, he turned to Meredith and flirted with her again. Instantly, rage rose within Rayna. She had endured it for so long and had given Julian so many chances, yet he had never appreciated it. Rayna could not hold back herself anymore. She threw the napkin on the table and stood up with a wine glass in her hand. “Everyone!” Her voice attracted the attention of everyone at the table. “Today’s a joyous day. Let us give Atty a toast!” Rayna raised the wine glass to Astrid. “Atty, congratulations on having such a cute baby!” “Thank you, Rayna.” Shawn and Astrid quickly stood up and so did everyone else. Rayna did not sit down after that but glanced at Julian. Her eyes darkened when she saw Julian and Meredith chatting happily as if there was no one around. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I would like to take this opportunity to share my happiness with all of you.” Rayna took out a pregnancy test report from her bag and handed it respectfully to Rolanda. “Mom, you’re going to be a grandmother soon,” she said with a smile, blushing. Everyone at the table was stunned by her sudden news, especially Julian. Upon hearing that, Julian, who was eating while talking to Meredith, choked on his food, and his face reddened. He turned to look at Rayna and pointed at her tremblingly. “Y-You…” “Are you okay, Darling?” Rayna pushed away the chair, walked over, and slapped Julian on his back. “What are you doing? Are you trying to kill him?” Meredith shoved Rayna aside. Feeling aggrieved, Rayna said, “My husband choked on his food! Is there anything wrong with me helping him? Ms. Jones, I know you’re my husband’s superior. But don’t you think your concern is a little too much?” Meredith knew that she was in no position to comment so much. She glared at Rayna and fell silent. Julian gulped down a whole glass of water and finally swallowed the food stuck in his throat. He stood up and asked through gritted teeth, “Rayna, how did you get pregnant?” I’ve never touched you. How did you get pregnant? Unless… Thinking that Rayna had probably cheated on him, he became even more furious and wanted to strangle her so badly.
