Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 12

Welcome Baby Party When Rayna was still in a daze, the sound of running water in the bathroom gradually stopped. Upon hearing his footsteps, she hurriedly placed the phone back in his pocket and pretended to have just picked up his clothes. “Why are you here?” Julian was shocked by the presence of Rayna in the second bedroom. He fixed his gaze on the clothes that Rayna was holding and felt relieved after he found that there was nothing unusual. Rayna remained calm and handed the clothes to him with a smile. “You didn’t return to the master bedroom, so I came here to look for you. I was wondering how much monetary gift we should prepare for the welcome baby party of your cousin’s son.” “We’re pretty close with their family. Let’s give eighty-eight thousand, then.” It was a huge amount.

Rayna pursed her lips and said, “Okay. But Julian, you know my mom is in the hospital. I don’t have much money with me now. You prepare the money, then.” Julian’s expression darkened. “Isn’t your salary at the translation department very high? How much have you spent on your mom’s hospital bill? It shouldn’t be much.” Noticing that Rayna was staring at him without saying a word, Julian realized he had said something inappropriate. In a coaxing manner, he said, “I mean, you’ve been handling these all this while, Darling. I don’t know anything, so I think it’s better that you handle it, too, this time.”

“Julian, my salary is not bad, but I’ve given most of it to your mom. Why don’t you get it from your mom? I really don’t have eighty-eight thousand with me right now.” Rayna tried to suppress her emotions. Julian’s expression froze. He did not expect that Rayna, who had always been so easygoing, would suddenly be so harsh to him. However, he did not insist. He just nodded and said that he would prepare the money. Seeing that Rayna was holding a document, he asked, “What’s that? Is it for me?” When Julian wanted to take it over to have a look, Rayna shrank away from him. “Oh, it’s just a translation document. I couldn’t find a pen in the room, so I brought the document here,” said Rayna casually. Julian did not find her words suspicious. “The pen is on the bedside table.” “I know. I’ve

already signed the document. You get some rest. I’m going back to the room.” Rayna broke down as soon as she returned to the master bedroom, thinking about how stupid she used to be. She had always felt that she was not good enough for the Faymon family, so she would do all she could to please them.

She would even pay for Rolanda’s tea party, a relative’s birthday party, and other occasions. Yet now, Julian had even criticized her when she had asked him to prepare the monetary gift for his cousin because she did not have enough money after spending on her mother’s hospital bill. What a joke! He spends his money on the homewrecker, and I have to spend my money on his family instead? Recalling the WhatsApp conversation she had read and Julian’s attitude, Rayna gripped the divorce agreement in her hand. Since they’re trying so hard to set me up, I shall return the favor too! Soon, it was the day of the welcome baby party of Julian’s nephew. Rayna dressed up and attended the party with Julian and Rolanda. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Only when they arrived did Rayna realize that the party was held at a well-known luxury hotel in the city, and she was shocked. Shawn Faymon owned a logistics company, and no doubt he made quite a lot of money. However, having a party at such a luxurious hotel seemed a little too much. Rolanda also knew that this was a luxury hotel. When she saw Shawn’s wife, Astrid Stonewell, welcoming guests at the entrance with a baby in her arms, she walked up to her and asked, “Atty, is there a need to hold a welcome baby party at such a luxurious place?” “We’re family, Aunt Rolanda. I’m just happy that you can celebrate this day with us! The meal is totally worth it even if it’s expensive,” Astrid said sweetly. Rayna sneered, for she knew Astrid very well. Astrid was more stingy than Rolanda. She would never give anything in return for gifts that she received, and she was also a vain woman. Sure enough, after a pause, Astrid added, “Actually, it was not my initial intention to choose such a luxury hotel. But Shawn invited Uncle Curtis, and Uncle Curtis said that he’ll be coming. Shawn was afraid that a low-class hotel wouldn’t match Uncle Curtis’ status, so we chose this hotel in the end.” Rolanda’s face clouded over, while Rayna’s heart skipped a beat. No way. Curtis is so busy. He has to take care of the company

after he returned to the country, and he rarely cares about his relatives. There’s no way he’ll attend this welcome baby party.
