Dear Sweetheart novel

Chapter 462

She opened her eyes groggily and looked toward the direction of the sound. It turned out that someone was knocking on the door.

She could clearly hear the noise as her earplugs had fallen off.

“Who’s there?” Rayna asked loudly while she got out of bed and put on her slippers.

Just then, she seemed to have recalled something and turned to look at the vacant space on the bed next to her. She did not notice when Curtis left.

Rayna yawned as she walked toward the bedroom door before opening it without much thought.

Claire, Vivi’s mother-in-law, was standing at the door.

Rayna wondered why the woman was looking for her that early in the morning. Claire’s face contorted with rage when she saw Rayna and lunged at her before Rayna could speak.

“Return my grandchildren to me! How can a young lady like you be so evil?”

As Rayna was completely unprepared for the assault, she almost lost her balance and fell.

She quickly put a hand against the door to steady herself while using her other hand to block her face, guarding herself against Claire’s continuous attacks. “Mdm. Myers, why are you hitting me? Why are you asking me to return your grandchildren to you? What do you mean by that?”

“Stop pretending!” Claire bellowed hysterically while throwing punches at Rayna. “My daughter-in-law had a miscarriage after finishing the duck stew you had given her!”

“What?” Rayna looked at Claire in disbelief. “The duck stew caused Vivi to have a miscarriage? That’s impossible. That duck stew was—”

It was given to her by Curtis.

Before Rayna could complete her sentence, she was interrupted by Claire. “The stew contained herbs that are not safe for pregnant women to consume. Knowing that Vivi was pregnant, why did you still give it to her? What were your intentions? Vivi has been so nice to you. How can you be so vicious?”

While scolding Rayna, Claire continued hitting the woman and pulling her hair.

“Did my grandchildren offend you? Why did you harm them? I really regret accepting your duck stew and letting Vivi eat it. I will never forgive you! Bring my grandchildren back to me!”
