Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 608
The person who suffered the most was Jeremy.
Wyatt and Jessica got married long ago, and Theodore and Jasmine had just collected their marriage certificates. To make
matters worse for him, even Curtis and Rayna had registered their marriage. Hence, he suffered yet another blow for being the
only single person.
“It’s all right.” Jeremy maintained a calm smile and said nonchalantly, “I’m happy with my single life. Besides, Kristie isn’t even
married yet, so I’m not in a rush.”
Kristie pouted in annoyance when she heard that. She complained, “You’re so mean, Jeremy! You said that deliberately, didn’t
you? James is still too young, so we have to wait another year!”
Initially, she thought a household registry was the only thing she needed to get married. Little did she know, one had to reach a
certain age to get married.
“That’s too bad, then.” Jeremy clinked his glass with Kristie’s and uttered with a smirk, “I can’t help you with that. Perhaps you
should just get married next year.”
“You can always change the age on his ID card through the system.” Wyatt raised his brows and asked, “Kris, would you like me
to help you?”
“Are you serious?” Kristie’s eyes lit up. In an adorable tone, she said, “Sure, Wyatt. Please help me increase James’ age on his
ID card. If you can do that, I won’t expect a monetary gift from you during my wedding. You can just come empty-handed.”
Before Wyatt could say a word in response, Curtis voiced coldly, “No.”
“Why? Are you the only one who is allowed to get married?” Kristie grumbled.
With that, she approached Rayna and tried to get the latter to help her.
Rayna knew there was a valid reason Curtis was against it, so she knew not to help Kristie. Hence, she ignored Kristie’s pleas.
In the end, Kristie nestled in James’ embrace and whined, “Curtis and the others are bullying us! They’re all married now, but
they’re not letting us do the same. What a bunch of bullies!”

“Time flies and one year isn’t that long. Be patient, okay?” James comforted her.
After that conversation, Rayna came up with an excuse to get Curtis to meet her in the kitchen. There, she whispered, “Why did
you not agree to it?”
“Once James changes his information, the school will notice it.” Curtis glanced at the living room and continued, “If that happens,
they’ll compel his return right away. He should spend more time with Kristie this year.”
Rayna instantly understood what that meant, and she suddenly felt rather sad. After heaving a sigh, she said, “We won’t see him
much from then onward. I really don’t want him to leave. What’s going to happen to Kristie after his departure?”
“He’s only going to be away for three years, at most.” Curtis pulled Rayna into his embrace and kissed her hair. “By then,
Theodore will be there to guide him, and we’ll take care of Kristie.”
Rayna didn’t know what to say, so she merely hugged him wordlessly.
At around half-past nine that night, everyone started leaving the Faymon residence.
As Theodore and Jasmine brought Carl home, they chatted happily about where to go for a family outing the next day.
Upon arriving home, Carl hung out with Theodore for a while before going to bed when it was his bedtime.
Jasmine had just finished taking a shower when she saw Theodore walking into the room. While drying her hair with a towel, she
asked, “Has Carl gone to bed?”
“Well, he’s in bed, but I think he’s going to have trouble falling asleep. He’s so excited about the outing tomorrow.” Theodore took
the towel from Jasmine and helped her dry her hair. After that, he went on to blow-dry her hair with a hairdryer.
Shortly after, Theodore’s phone, which was left on the dressing table, lit up. He merely picked it up and glanced at it before
putting it back down and continuing to blow dry Jasmine’s hair in silence.
Jasmine took a peek at his cold facial expression and his tightly-pursed lips in the mirror. Right then, a thought came to her mind,
and she held Theodore’s hand, looking over her shoulder at him. “When do you need to leave?”
Theodore kept quiet for a while before answering reluctantly, “In ten days’ time.”
“That soon?”

“They’re rushing me to go over.” Theodore gently smoothened her frown and whispered, “I’ll write in and delay it for a few more
days so that I can spend more time with you and Carl.”
Despite her reluctance to watch him leave, Jasmine shook her head and took his hand, pressing his palm against her cheek.
“Ever since the day I woke up, you’ve been keeping me company. I’m satisfied with the amount of time you spent with me and
Carl.”
“I’m sorry.” Theodore caressed her cheek with his finger and said, “I’m going to need you to take care of Carl on your own again.”
“Don’t worry about me. He’s a good boy.” In a slightly hoarse voice, Jasmine said, “As for you, you ought to take good care of
yourself. If you can’t call, please get someone to write to me.”
“Okay.”
Jasmine went silent and nuzzled his warm palm affectionately.
A long while later, she rose to her feet and hugged Theodore. “Since we’re free now, let’s have another baby.”
“Why are you suggesting this all of a sudden?” Theodore’s breathing turned rapid as she embraced him tightly. However, he
suppressed his urge and said, “I’m afraid that your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Why don’t we wait a while more?”
Jasmine let out a chuckle and answered, “I’ve been discharged long ago, and I’m all well now! Let’s hurry up. We only have ten
days’ time, and we might not have the energy for that every day. Once you leave, we don’t even know when will you be back
again. That’s why I think it’s better to make another baby right now. I might not be able to conceive anymore in three or five
years’ time.”
“Wait! I need to shower first.” Theodore laughed.
“Carry me in and shower with me!” Jasmine replied. “Perhaps I can get pregnant more easily if we do it in a different place.”
Theodore was rendered speechless. Does that even matter?
A few months later, Rayna made a huge sum of money from the new products launched by Glory Corporation. With enough
capital in her hands, she soon had her eyes on a company that had been suffering from numerous scandals over the past
month, Happy Entertainment.

Although Happy Entertainment was a small company, they poached a managerial personnel, Larry Wingate, from their
competitor, and that manager managed to develop an actress that ended up winning the best actress award. Just like that, the
company became popular and became a listed company.
Over the recent two years, however, the company had a disagreement with Larry, and he ended up getting poached by another
company. After that, negative news about the company’s artists were frequently leaked, and the company’s financial reports
were falsified to attract investors. With that, the reputation of the company plummeted.
Since it was easy to make money in the entertainment industry, Rayna decided to have a go. After all, she had the funds at hand
to do so.
Rayna even looked into Happy Entertainment’s internal information and found that Happy Entertainment had purchased the
copyrights of several works before and was planning on filming them. After getting her team to analyze the copyrights, she
immediately formulated an acquisition plan.
Since she was inexperienced in this field, she went to Curtis and asked for his help when they were home. To her surprise, he
advised her to throw accusations at Happy Entertainment and get someone to expose the scandals of the artists in the company.
That way, she could then lower the company’s valuation.
“Is that necessary? The price is already low enough as it is.” Rayna didn’t want to take those drastic actions. “In the future,
Happy Entertainment is going to be a subsidiary of Glory Corporation. If the company has a terrible reputation, it’s going to affect
Glory Corporation as well.”
While helping Rayna apply a facial mask, Curtis advised, “If you were to bring your team to meet up with representatives from
Happy Entertainment now, their boss is going to know that you guys are eager to make the purchase. Hence, they’re going to
raise their price. If they don’t get what they’re asking for, they would rather keep the company to themselves. After all, the
company can still operate for quite some time, thanks to the income the artists bring in from endorsements. You need to
remember that you’re the acquisitor, Rayna. Once you become the owner of Happy Entertainment, you’ll need a lot of money to
invest in the company. If you were to splurge on the purchase itself, you would have a tough time building the company.”
“I understand. I’ll have a meeting tomorrow to re-formulate the acquisition plan.” Rayna was thrilled to have a mentor that could
guide her on the spot. “Thank you, Darling! I love you!”
“That’s enough. I’m receiving too much love from you.” Curtis carried her to the bed and said, “Don’t rub up against me tonight.
Otherwise, you’re going to stain my pillow with your facial mask. By the way...”

Curtis stared at her in exasperation and continued, “Please behave yourself when you sleep. Stop kicking me off the bed. I
wonder how are you so strong in your sleep. Could you please get rid of that habit of yours?”
