Dear Sweetheart Chapter 630

Chapter 630

Half an hour later, Roxanne left the study. As she passed by Curtis, she glanced at him with an obviously unhappy look in her eyes.

While Roxanne didn’t have the best relationship with Kristie, they didn’t even want to look at each other at that moment.

Upon seeing that, Jasmine approached Roxanne. “I’ll send you out.”

Roxanne nodded before the two left the living room and the Faymon residence.

Soon after Jasmine left, Theodore stood and approached Curtis. “Don’t take it to heart.”

“I’m not.” For the most part, Curtis didn’t mind Roxanne’s attitude, but some of what she said hurt him. Could Rayna’s accident and kidnapping have been prevented if Jefferson was still alive? No, no, I shouldn’t overthink it or compare myself to him. It’s pointless.

Rayna had no idea how long she had been on Conch Island. Her blindness made her feel very unsafe. Although she knew Caylie and the man wouldn’t hurt her, that knowledge didn’t make her feel any safer.

“Can you tell me if there are other people on the island, Caylie?” As Rayna sat on the balcony couch and listened to the sound of the ocean waves, she asked Caylie, who was standing next to her, a question. “Are there any shops or malls here?”

“I know the name sounds a bit unique, but Conch Island is the same as any other place, Ms. Griffith. There are other residents on the island, but they’re a rare sight here because this place is quite far away from town,” Caylie explained. “Did you ask that question because you want to go shopping, Ms. Griffith?”

Shopping, eh? I don’t particularly feel like doing anything, but it is quite boring staying in the mansion all day. “A little…” Rayna whispered, “But I don’t know if he, you know…”

“I think he’ll allow it. After lunch, I’ll call him and ask him about it. Or should I dial the number and let you talk to him?” Caylie suggested.

“Mhm, that sounds good to me.” Rayna nodded. It’ll be great if I can shop around. Spending all day either inside or around this building is quite dull. If I go shopping, I’ll be able to experience that sense of liveliness and crowdedness, which sounds enticing to me right now.

Aside from Rayna, Caylie, a few housekeepers, and bodyguards, there weren’t any other people. The mansion felt very big to Rayna. In fact, for the past few days, Rayna would occasionally ask Caylie to accompany her on a tour around the mansion. They had done that around seven or eight times already.

Meanwhile, a phone had been buzzing on an office table again and again.

When someone pushed the office door open and saw no one else was inside, they were going to leave right away. However, they stopped and approached the office table after hearing the phone vibrating.

An unknown number was displayed on the screen. It was hard to tell if someone had called the phone by accident or if the phone’s owner intentionally didn’t add the number to their contacts, which would be suspicious.

A pair of slender hands grabbed the phone and answered the call.

Without delay, the woman on the other end spoke. “Are you busy right now?”

“Mhm,” the man answered with a deep voice.

The woman remained silent for a moment before saying, “I want Caylie to bring me to the town for a shopping trip.”

Bring her to town? So this call came from the countryside? Softly, the man replied, “All right.” Then, he changed his voice. “Where are you planning to shop in town?”

“Hmm… Wait a second. Caylie, are there many places in town?” Rayna wasn’t sure how huge Conch Island’s town was. Thus, she wasn’t sure how to answer his question.

“It’s not big, but it’s not small either. However, there are indeed many places in Conch Island’s town. There’s even an area that acts as a boundary separating the island from a neighboring country.” The man could clearly hear Caylie speaking on the other end. “Just tell him we’re going to shop around the town center. We won’t go anywhere else.”

The reason she said that was because she wasn’t familiar with the area near the boundary and was afraid she would accidentally bring Rayna to somewhere they shouldn’t. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Caylie said she’ll bring me to shop at the town center. We won’t go anywhere else.” Hearing Rayna’s soft voice again caused the man to gulp subconsciously. Then, he replied, “Mhm, be careful, then.”

Rayna ended the call the instant the man finished speaking. He held the phone and stared at it for a long time. Then, he recorded the phone number and put the device back onto the office table. Just as he was about to leave, the office door behind him was opened from the outside.

The two men stared at each other. The one coming from the outside asked, “What are you doing in my office?”

“It’s nothing. I’m just here to pass a message from Sheena to you. Anyway, I was just about to leave because I didn’t see you inside when you arrived.” The man standing straight in front of the office table

didn’t have enough time to take off his military outfit. With both his hands in his pockets, he informed, “Your phone rang earlier. The person on the other end sounded like they were in a hurry, so I answered the call for you.”

When the man standing at the door heard that, he scowled, strode toward the office table, and checked the call record on the phone. The moment he saw it came from Caylie, he was enraged. Murderous intent swirled in his eyes as he questioned, “Tell me, what did you learn from the call?”

“A woman with a soft voice called you. She wanted to ask if she could shop around Conch Island’s town. Her voice sounded delicate, so I permitted her to do so on your behalf.” The moment the man in military clothing finished speaking, the other man, who was wearing a gray shirt, punched him and said, “Listen to me closely, Jahan. I don’t care what you’re planning with your father, but don’t try to drag any irrelevant people into this mess.”

Jahan Eastbridge allowed himself to be punched. Then, he rubbed the edge of his mouth, narrowed his eyes at the angry man in front of him, and mocked, “You know, I’ve heard of people hiding their mistresses in fancy houses before, Jovan. However, I didn’t expect an exalted Yartranian like you would do this sort of stuff behind his fiancée’s back. I wonder, what will Sheena do when she learns you’ve been ignoring her after you woke up from your coma because of another woman? Do you think her family will still support you and your father?”

“Do you think I’m the only one who does this, Jahan?” Jovan didn’t want to argue with him for long and sneered, “What happens between Sheena and me is our business. Don’t you think an outsider like you is overstepping your boundaries?”

Upon hearing that, Jahan stopped smiling as a grim expression appeared on his countenance.

“If I were you, Jahan, the first thing I’d be doing is figuring out how to prove I’m a pure-blooded Yartran!” Jovan barked sharply, striking a nerve with Jahan.
