Dear Sweetheart novel

Chapter 353

Rayna swiftly withdrew her hand.

Jefferson’s countenance was cloaked in darkness, so it was impossible to read his expression. He drew two pieces of tissue and handed them to her. “It’s just a movie.”

“You’re going to say something along the lines of ‘the actual war is crueler than movies, aren’t you?” She wiped her tears with the tissues and grumbled, “Aren’t you sick of repeating yourself? I can’t help that I tear up so easily. It’s not as if I’m disrupting your movie–watching anyway.”

“I can’t bear seeing you cry, even more so when a movie’s the cause. You might as well shed tears for me. It’d be more worth crying over me.” His heart ached at how miserable she seemed.

Rayna was choked with fury. “Fine, you win! I can’t outsmart your silver tongue!”

“Where’s the lie?”

“You’re right.” Then, she grabbed a handful of popcorn and forcefully stuffed them into his mouth as she threatened, “Concentrate on the movie. If you dare disturb my crying session, it’s off to bed you go!”

Jefferson’s mouth was so full that he could not utter a word.

While watching the movie, Rayna silently wept. In no time, the number of used tissues on the table piled up. By the time the movie ended, her eyelids had drooped, perhaps because she was too sleepy.

Her drowsiness took over her, and her head tilted to the side, landing right on Jefferson’s shoulder.

When he felt the weight on his shoulder, he turned off the projector and waited for his eyes to adjust to the darkness before carrying Rayna to her bedroom. Gently, he lay her on the bed and switched on the night light..

The soft, amber light bathed the woman’s slumbering face in a golden hue and cast shadows beneath her thick lashes. Her sharp chin was proof that she had lost a great deal of weight from her hard work in the past period of time.

Jefferson sat on the side of her bed and stared at her protractedly as if she were the most riveting piece of art in the room.

He reached out and gingerly stroked Rayna’s cheek lest he disturbs her sleep before planting a light kiss on her lips longingly.

“Goodnight, my princess.”
