Dear Sweetheart novel

He was worried about leaving Rayna alone there. It’s so crowded here, and the floor’s slippery. What if she trips and falls?

“It’s just in front, about a hundred meters away at the crossroad. You can do it yourself.” While fixing her eyes on the food menu, Rayna waved her hand, gesturing for Curtis to get moving. “I’ll wait for you here. I’m old enough; I can’t possibly go missing.”

“Excuse me!” Rayna could not be bothered about him anymore and called the owner to order some food. “Can I get a serving of garlic butter crayfish, and also…”

When she looked up after ordering the food, she found that Curtis was still standing by the table. That inevitably left her both amused and exasperated. “Go on ahead. I really can’t possibly go missing, can I? Or how about I go instead? You can help me deshell the crayfish while you wait for me here?”

Having said that, she prepared to rise to her feet.

“I’ll go.” Curtis pushed Rayna back onto her seat and seized the opportunity to pinch her cheek affectionately. “Don’t go anywhere. The floor is slippery. Wait for me to return if there’s anything you need, understand?”

Despite the crowd around them, Curtis did not seem to be affected. On the other hand, Rayna was embarrassed by what he did and quickly smacked his hand away.

“Hurry up and go!”

After watching the man leave, Rayna immediately grasped the owner’s arm and ordered a can of Sprite.

As soon as her drink order came, she poured it into her glass and took two small sips.

Oh my gosh! It tastes amazing!

Nonetheless, Rayna did not dare drink too much of it as she was scared that Curtis would reprimand her when he returned. She only drank a small glass, then took out her phone and opened her WhatsApp.

Rayna: Are you there yet?

Curtis: Yeah. There’s a long line, so I’ll have to wait for about ten minutes.

The man also sent a photo along to show her the situation.

From the photo, there were roughly about nine people in front of Curtis. It did not take Rayna much difficulty to visualize the grim look on the man’s face, and she could not help but burst into laughter.

Rayna: There’s only a handful of people in front of you. It’ll be your turn soon. Keep in mind that you’re the one who said you wanted to treat me to duck skewers!

Curtis: You didn’t order any iced drinks, did you?

A sense of guilt rose within Rayna as she threw a glance at the can of Sprite on the table.

Rayna: I didn’t. That’s all for now. I’ll wait for you to be back with the duck skewers.
