Dear Sweetheart novel

Chapter 371

The Terblanc family had their own fashion designer who stayed on the east side of the manor. Thus, the housekeeper rode a buggy there to collect the clothes.

The gown’s design was regal and elegant. It had many layers, and the hem of the gown was heavy.

When the housekeeper noticed that Rayna had a slimmer waist, the former handed a corset to her. It stunned Rayna so much that her face turned pale. She refused it profusely and went out as quickly as she could after straightening the gown.

My babies would be in trouble if I were to wear it!

Upon walking out of the bedroom, Rayna finally realized that the second floor was huge. The walkway on both sides stretched so far that she was unable to see the end of them.

After stretching her wobbly legs, she took the walkway on her left.

Why do those big shots that have few children stay in such huge houses?

She continued mumbling to herself as she gazed upon the oil paintings hanging on the wall. Other than the amazing collection of Renaissance paintings, she also saw dozens of portraits painted in oil.

At first, there were portraits of two boys, one slightly taller than the other. The portraits by the oil painter were of the two boys either playing with each other or studying. Then, only one of the boys was drawn–a blue–eyed and black–haired boy. The older he got, the more good–looking he became.

Rayna recognized the black–haired and blue–eyed boy–he was Jefferson. It was then that she realized Arnaud was the other boy in several of the paintings portraying the two boys.

“Are you interested in oil paintings, Ms. Garland?” asked Arnaud as he stood opposite her. His sudden appearance and words had interrupted her from looking at the oil paintings.

“I can’t say that it’s my interest. But I think that the painter is quite talented.” After she gave him a side–long glance, she turned to look at the oil paintings again. “Every portrait made a strong impression on me.”

It felt as though Rayna could hear him sniggering in response. Subsequently, he walked toward her and leaned closer to her. Even though he had a cold and grim gaze, he still managed to maintain the aura of a son coming from a prestigious family.

“I heard that Mr. Faymon went to the hotel to pick his sister up, and he even shot you. At the end of the day, she is still your sister–in–law. Don’t you feel sorry for her? Why aren’t you heading back to comfort her?”

“As there are only the two of us here, you don’t have to put on an act.” Rayna was calm and unperturbed by his words. “I’m not worried as Mr. Faymon is there to accompany her. I don’t need to go back. Moreover, I still have a very important thing to do.”

“Such as?”
