Dear Sweetheart Chapter 16
Chapter 16
Speak For Her Since Rolanda had always disliked her for not being able to give birth, and Julian had even cheated on her, Rayna wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass Julian. Hence, she had come out with the idea of getting a fake pregnancy report from the hospital. However, she did not expect Curtis’ arrival at all. A week ago, Rayna had told Curtis confidently in the restroom of a club that she was not pregnant. Now that she had announced that she was pregnant with the proof of a pregnancy test report, Curtis would probably think that she was playing hard to get.
Why on earth is this happening to me? Rolanda chuckled and nodded. “Yes, I just found out that she’s pregnant. That’s another good thing to celebrate today! This one sitting next to you is my daughter-in- law, Rayna.” Seeing that Rayna did not look up, Rolanda pinched her hard and scolded her in a low voice, “Are you deaf or blind? You have no manners at all! This is Julian’s Uncle Curtis. Hurry up and greet him!” Rayna had no choice but to look up due to the pain. When her eyes met with Curtis’ cold eyes, her heart skipped a beat. However, she calmly greeted Curtis, “Hello, Uncle Curtis. Nice to finally meet you.” Curtis frowned a little. “I think we’ve met before.” “That’s possible because I work for Faymon Group too. I also think that you look familiar.” Rayna quickly came out with an explanation and smiled politely at Curtis. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Rayna felt uneasy sitting next to Curtis for fear that he would find fault with her again. She wanted to change seats with Julian, but before she could say anything, Curtis looked at everyone at the table and said, “There’s no need to be so formal. We’re all family. Let’s eat!” With that, everyone started eating, and Rayna could not change seats anymore. All the relatives knew that Curtis did not like to be disturbed while he was eating, so they did not try to butter him up at the table. The other tables were noisy, except theirs, which was extremely quiet. “Rayna, find a place, and we’ll talk.” Suddenly, Curtis’ voice sounded in Rayna’s ear. A trace of hot breath brushed across her cheek. She was casually browsing through her album on the phone at that moment. As her hands trembled, she accidentally
clicked on a video. The next moment, the screen that was originally showing the pictures of Shawn’s baby flashed. Then, some weird noises came from the speakers around the wall and resounded through the hall. Everyone turned to look at the screen and saw a steamy scene. Although the faces of the man and woman in the video, including their private parts, had been censored, the scene was enough to make everyone blush. Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone was discussing the couple in the video. Julian’s face turned pale instantly, and Rolanda was so shocked that she dropped the fork in her hand. “What is that? Why are they showing such a video?”
“Please stop it! It’s going to ruin this party!” Curtis took a glance at the video, then he looked at Rayna, who looked extremely embarrassed, and his lips quirked up. He had come to this boring party because he indeed had something to say to Rayna. Little did he expect her to be so startled when he said those words to her. What Rayna had prepared was beyond his expectation. What a vicious woman! Meredith dropped her fork in shock, and her expression was extremely gloomy. Of course, she could recognize that she was the woman in the video, and she kicked Julian’s leg under the table. Julian came back to his senses and glared at Rayna. “Julian, you don’t look so good. Is that you in the video?” Curtis asked casually, glancing at Julian. “N-No! How is that possible?” Julian forced out a smile and used a napkin to wipe his sweat. “I just think that the person who played this video is really vicious. How could they do such a thing at a welcome baby party?” Rayna sneered inwardly. I’m not as vicious as you! You want to frame me with a homewrecker just for the sake of our matrimonial assets! “I just feel that the person in the video looks familiar. I’m glad that it’s not you because the woman in the video doesn’t look like your wife. If that’s you, then it means you have cheated,” said Curtis. Julian gave a dry chuckle and did not dare to respond. Soon, someone turned off the projector, and everyone resumed eating as if nothing had happened. Rayna glanced at Curtis quietly. She could not believe that he would speak for her. What does that mean?
