Dear Sweetheart Chapter 59 Getting Rough
Rayna tried to move his arm away, but his arm was as strong as steel. She couldn’t pry him off and could only stare at his sleeping figure.
His features, no longer covered by his glasses, looked like they were sculpted and pared to perfection. Even in his sleep, he was frowning. Dark eye circles underlined his eyes, telling her how busy he was.
The sleeping man gave off an aura of an academician and looked like a distinguished gentleman.
Rayna gazed at him as her thoughts flew back to three years ago. Back when they were still a couple, he spoiled her so much. She remembered how anxious he was even when she just had a cold.
One Christmas, she mentioned, “Oh, I wish I could watch the sunrise in Livingsfill, Pandera.” The following day, she woke up in Livingsfill with Jefferson asking her if the sunset was pretty.
Memories flooded her head, reminding her how attentive Jefferson was. He had never mistreated her.
Rayna couldn’t help but reach out to caress his cheek. Her fingers froze inches away from his cheek and trembled slightly when she recalled how he almost killed her that night.
Why did he do that that night?
Rayna still couldn’t understand his actions that night. She was about to kick up a fuss and demand that he let her go when she spotted a necklace hanging on his neck. The pendant was a tiny tear-shaped pendant.
It was a cheap gift from her a long time ago, but he still had it with him.
“Why…?” Rayna murmured as she touched the teardrop pendant.
He could tell me if he wanted something. We were lovers, so I wouldn’t reject him.
Rayna was still reeling from the shock of Jonathan’s death. Gabriel then forced her to come to the airport with him past midnight, but she ended up getting kidnapped by Jefferson. She was exhausted by now.
She stopped struggling and fell into a deep sleep.
“Belle, we’ve arrived.”
Rayna was sleeping when someone patted her cheek twice.
Before she realized what was going on, she was lifted up. Instinctively, she flung her arms around the man who picked her up. She then opened her eyes and realized it was Jefferson.

It seemed that the plane had landed.
“I can walk.” Wide awake, Rayna struggled to get to her feet. Jefferson’s lips curled as he placed her down obediently. Once Rayna regained her balance, she immediately scooted aside.
The cockpit door was opened. Rayna followed Jefferson out of the plane.
They had arrived at Avenport Airport.
Dark clouds loomed above them, and it seemed that it was about to rain any minute. Rayna’s mood was as dark as the weather.
It took over ten hours to fly here from Norwal City. Mr. Tylinski should still be on the way.
“Belle, don’t try to escape. They won’t be here for some time,” Jefferson reminded her in a gentle voice. It only took him one look for him to know what was going on in her mind.
Rayna pursed her lips and asked, “What is the minimum profit you stand to gain from this deal?”
“One billion.” Jefferson made no move to conceal the truth from her. “This is just an estimation. The profit will increase if we get research teams to join in later.”
“I’ve never seen that much money in my life,” Rayna said as she chuckled lightly. Her gaze slowly turned cold. “No wonder you and Curtis need me. I have no idea I’m that in demand.”
The deal might be lucrative, but it was also risky.
“Belle, I’m not interested in the money. I just want to complete the mission.” Jefferson’s voice was tender. He never had to put his guard up before Rayna. “Just wait for me, all right?”
“What is your mission?”
Jefferson stared at her but didn’t say a word.
Rayna’s lips twitched as she mocked, “You aren’t interested in money but still want to close the deal. Isn’t that contradictory?”
Her heart had softened when she saw the teardrop pendant earlier, but it was long gone.
“Mr. Hamilton.”
They were in the middle of a stalemate when a calm but icy voice cut in.
Rayna couldn’t hide her surprise when she saw Curtis approaching them. She assumed Gabriel and Curtis would be at least one to two hours behind them, but Curtis had arrived before them.
He came to a stop and wanted to pull Rayna to him.
Sensing his intention, Jefferson took Rayna’s hand to avoid her from being dragged away.
Jefferson flashed a smile. “Mr. Faymon, where did you borrow something that incredible to get here quickly?”
“My friend is in trouble, so I have to hurry here as soon as possible,” Curtis answered politely.
He tugged at his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. His voice sounded intimidating as he warned, “Mr. Hamilton, you’ve bothered my friend for a long time, so it’s time to let her go. We’re in a huge space, so I don’t mind getting rough with you.”
“I’m a gentleman, so I won’t get rough with you,” Jefferson replied. He refused to let Rayna go. “Besides, Rayna is my ex-girlfriend. All I want is to talk to her.”
Curtis snorted. “Did you ask whether she is willing to talk to you?”
“Mr. Faymon, you’re a big shot. You don’t seem like the type to snatch someone in broad daylight.”
“She’s my friend, and I’m responsible for her safety.”
Rayna couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
She was afraid that the two men would end up fighting and rip her in half.
“Ms. Garland.” Curtis turned to Rayna and said solemnly, “Please let me know if you need my help.”
