Dear Sweetheart novel

Glancing at Curtis, she asked with difficulty, “Do you think Arnaud found her? He knows I’m close to Jessie—”

Curtis bent over, picked up the grape, and threw it into the trash can. “Rayna, you’re overthinking it. Arnaud knows Wyatt is close to me. If he’s really working with Gianna, that means she’s betrayed both Wyatt and me. Arnaud and his brother made a bet-on agreement with their father. Besides, Boniel’s biased toward Jefferson, and Arnaud can’t enter Aploth’s market. Thus, Arnaud can’t take the risk of offending me again.”

Everything he said sounded reasonable, but the worry in Rayna’s heart kept growing. “I can’t think of anyone who’s capable of helping Gianna in secret, apart from Arnaud.”

“Then don’t think about it for now. We’ll ask Gianna once we find her,” said Curtis.

“Where’s she?”

“I’ve already sent someone to look for her. There’s no news from them yet.”

Rayna had lost her appetite to eat the grapes. The thought of Wyatt in the hospital and Jessica’s fate still unknown put her mind in a mess. There was no way she could calm herself.

“How am I supposed to calm down when Jessie’s still missing?” Rayna murmured while massaging her forehead.

Curtis’ heart ached when he saw her beginning to worry again.

He was about to say something to reassure her when his phone vibrated on the coffee table. It was a call from Gabriel.

Curtis answered it and exchanged a few words before his expression turned icy cold. With a grim tone, he instructed, “Find out the source of the news and get someone to deal with it.”

Upon hearing that, Rayna looked up and noticed a frown on Curtis’ face. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

After ending the call, Curtis gazed at her and said truthfully, “Someone posted the news about Wyatt’s attack on Twitter. It has already alerted the police.”
