Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 458

“No. He’s the only son,” replied Rayna as her face flushed.

She didn’t anticipate she would be so lucky to have a triplet with Curtis, who was an only son.

“He has such great genes!” Still, Vivi sighed worryingly. “If you don’t tell him about this, will you be able to raise three kids on your own? How do you plan to fill in the kids’ household registers in the future?”

“I’m not poor…” Rayna was amused.

“Why don’t you let Mr. Faymon know about this?” Vivi leaned closer and whispered, “After you two get back together, you can give birth to more children. Isn’t that all right?”

Rayna’s eyebrow twitched as she hurriedly refused, “We’ll never get back together. Besides, being pregnant is exhausting. I suffered so much when I became pregnant initially. I can’t wait to get this load off me, so why would I want to give birth to more children?”

Vivi chirped, “Believe me. You will want to give birth to more babies after your first delivery. I plan to conceive two more kids after this twin reaches one or two years old. My mom said she’s willing to help me care for all my children regardless of how many I give birth to.”

Rayna chuckled. “Are you addicted to giving birth?”

“It’s all because of how much my husband loves me, so I’m willing to conceive as many of his children as he wishes. Besides, the household will be livelier if more kids are in the family. My husband is also the only son.”

“How I envy you.” Rayna was genuinely jealous of the happy couple.

She reached out to touch her bulging stomach. The lights in her eyes dimmed as she was reminded of her conversation with Curtis the other night and his demeanor.

She was also aware that children should grow up in their parent’s company. Since Curtis rejected her, she gave up on telling him about the triplets because she was afraid she would have to give the children up if he knew about them.

However, since their arrival at Summerbank, how he treated her made her feel at a loss.

Why is he so nice to me if he doesn’t like or accept me? Why does he care for me and send me gifts?

She couldn’t fathom his train of thought.

“Oh? Is Mr. Faymon back?” When Vivi looked downstairs, she noticed Curtis was back, so she greeted him, “What delicious food did you go out to buy?”

He glanced at the two women on the balcony and replied nonchalantly, “Fruits.”

Vivi asked curiously, “There are fruits in the dining room. Why did you go out and buy?”

“There isn’t any fruit of my preference.”

“What fruits did you buy, Mr. Faymon? Bring them upstairs, and let us have a taste.”

He grunted in response.

Rayna couldn’t stop herself from shifting her gaze downstairs. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him glancing at her. She hastily retracted her hand, which was placed on her stomach, and looked away.

Coincidentally, he noticed her slightly bulging stomach in the few seconds when she removed her hands. The corner of his lips twitched as he was reminded of the two plates of spaghetti and fruits she

had eaten earlier in the afternoon. I told her not to eat so much. Look at that. She’s too full now and is sitting there, lazy to move around.

After going upstairs, Curtis knocked on Rayna’s door.

Vivi went to open the door. She was surprised to see Curtis outside the room. “Oh my. I can’t believe you really brought the fruits upstairs.”

“It’s just fruits.” He handed her the shopping bag. “The weather is hot and dry. You two should eat more fruits.” He added after a brief pause, “There’s also some yogurt inside. Let Ms. Garland drink two bottles of that.”

After being momentarily stunned, Vivi shook with laughter. “Okay. I’ll make sure she drinks the yogurt.”

Curtis was stumped and baffled by her laughing fit.

After closing the door, Vivi searched the shopping bag and found common fruits like pears and apples.

The pack of yogurt drinks appeared significantly eye-catching among the bag of fruits.

“Here. Mr. Faymon bought these.” Vivi handed the yogurt to Rayna on the balcony while continuing to laugh hysterically. “He’s under the assumption that you’re too full from overeating, so he purposely went out to buy yogurt for you.”

With her face reddened in embarrassment, Rayna muttered, “I have to eat more since I’m carrying three children. I’m afraid they’ll starve if I eat less. Still, is my stomach that obvious?”

Vivi said, “It’s not if you wear loose-fitting clothes. Your stomach is not that big, considering you’re pregnant with a triplet, but you don’t have to worry. When you’re five or six months into your pregnancy, your stomach will be so big you can hardly walk.”

Rayna was relieved after hearing that.

She was afraid Curtis would notice her bulging stomach if it were too evident. Things would become too troublesome if that happened.

Staring at the yogurt in her hand and thinking about how Curtis deliberately went out to purchase her the drinks, Rayna felt exasperated and simultaneously had the urge to laugh.

The costumes were sent over the next day. After everyone packed their belongings, they drove to Summerbank Film Company.

Almost twenty different film crews were shooting at Summerbank Film Company daily. Bystanders and actors were everywhere, and there were a lot of tourists there on holiday. In short, the place was bustling.

After everyone registered themselves, they drove the cars into the film company. Upon arriving at their desired filming location, they began unloading their equipment, building the changing rooms, and setting up the scene.

Rayna sized up her surroundings.

Although the whole place was constructed using wood and cement, she inexplicably and magically felt she had traveled back to that period.

There weren’t many scenes involving the retro period and the most important was a wedding scene.

Wilson arranged for someone to gather the actors and actresses. Then, the stylist hastily gave Rayna a makeover. As the makeup for the wedding makeup required a lot of time to put on, the stylist even called the screenwriter to help out with preening Rayna’s hair.

Rayna was nervous, looking at the red wedding outfit she was wearing.

Although the storyline was her brainchild, she never anticipated the main characters of the wedding would be Curtis and her.

Even though they were merely acting in a play, she couldn’t stop her palms from turning sweaty as she pondered on what they were about to do.

After over an hour of hard work, they were finally done with Rayna’s makeup. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

After the stylist finished the final touchup, Rayna got to her feet.

“What’s the matter, Ms. Garland?”

“I need to go to the restroom.”

The stylist was stunned. “Didn’t you go to the restroom earlier, Ms. Garland? Why are you frequenting the toilet?”

Even Rayna felt self-conscious, listening to that.

She also realized she had been going to the restroom too frequently since she became pregnant.

“I can’t help it because I drank too much water.” Fearing she would raise the stylist’s suspicion, Rayna quickly pointed at the water glass on the table, came up with a convincing lie, and hastily left.

The stylist shouted behind her, “Ah! Be careful with the headdresses, Ms. Garland! It’s very expensive, so don’t drop it.”

Rayna was rendered speechless.

On her way back from the restroom, Rayna ran into a few kids, who were dressed in retro costumes, frolicking.

They seemed to have come from another set to play there.

Rayna noticed an adorable, short little girl around three to four years old dressed in a pink dress. Her face was cute and rosy.

She grabbed the hem of a little boy’s clothes and called out to him in a childish voice. “Nelson, let me have another lollipop!”

“No. We said we’ll split it evenly, and you’ve already finished the three lollipops that belonged to you.”

“But I want to eat more. Please, Nelson. Let me have one more. I’m your cute little sister.”

“No!”

The little boy, Nelson, mercilessly prised his little sister’s hand away from his clothes and ran away with his friends.

The little girl, Flora, scampered toward her brother while crying out, “Nelson, wait for me!”

In the end, she ended up tripping over her legs because she was too fast when she ran.

Rayna’s heart clenched when she saw Flora was about to fall. She trotted over, wishing to help the little girl. However, right when she got moving, a tall figure showed up and firmly grabbed hold of Flora.

Still feeling shocked, Flora patted her chest and looked up at Curtis.

“Thank you, mister.”

He curled his thin lips and uttered in a calm and deep voice, “You’re welcome.”
