Dear Sweetheart novel

Adjusting his glasses, his voice was mild but tinged with a hint of forcefulness. “Faymon Group’s PR department isn’t for show, and I’m no easy prey either.”

Stella’s expression changed slightly, but she immediately replied with a chuckle, “I heard that from someone else. Since I happened to run into you today, Mr. Hamilton, I brought it up casually.”

“Sometimes, a casual comment might only lead to disaster. What do you think, Ms. Zink?” Jefferson shot her a sidelong glance.

Stella went silent, stunned for a moment at the man’s blatant jibe.

By the time she snapped back to her senses, he had already brushed past her.

She turned around and glowered at his back, her hands slowly balling into fists.

He loves Rayna beyond words, so he can’t possibly be unaffected by my remark earlier. Why was he still calm and unruffled? Could it be that he was feigning indifference before me? But if so, he’s overly good at it.

Afraid that he would discern her motive, she quickly retracted her gaze. Pushing open the door, she entered the coffee shop. All the while, she inwardly wondered whether Jefferson was truly unperturbed by those news reports or merely feigning nonchalance.

Meanwhile, Rayna had stayed in the hospital for over two weeks. With sufficient time to recuperate, her gunshot wound had healed ages ago.

Not even a scar remained, what with her having used the salve from Jeremy’s laboratory.

She noticed that Jefferson stopped coming over to visit her after the day Sandy came to the hospital to meet him and ask him to walk her out.

Worried that Sandy had said something hurtful to him when he saw her out, Rayna pestered him about his absence through WhatsApp. Nonetheless, Jefferson merely claimed that he was busy with work and had no time to drop by.

As she had been keeping an eye on the company and the development within the industry, she knew that they were preparing a new product and were indeed swamped. Hence, she didn’t fret anymore.

She had been eating well while hospitalized, thus gaining quite a lot of weight. The most substantial change was the size of her belly.
