Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 11

What Does Our Marriage Mean To Him Unable to reject Linda’s plea, Rayna promised to send some money to her brother. Since Rayna was busy with work, she hired a nurse to take care of Linda twenty- four hours a day until she was discharged from the hospital. It was already eight o’clock at night when Rayna reached home. Rubbing her temples, she was about to enter the house when she saw Julian’s car parked at the entrance. She stopped in her tracks, then watched as the door opened. Julian came out first, followed by Rolanda, who was chatting happily with a woman while holding her hand. Rayna took a closer look at the woman. She was Julian’s superior. Instantly, Rayna’s face flushed with anger, her body shaking violently as she gritted her teeth. How dare he bring the homewrecker back to our house?

Quickly, Rayna calmed down and stood in the corner. After kissing the woman and watching her drive his car away, Julian entered the house. Only then did Rayna walk out. She opened her purse, and there was a divorce agreement in it, which she had prepared half a month ago. She had had enough of this life. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Julian and Rolanda chatting in the living room. They looked so happy as if something good had happened. Seeing that, Rayna clenched her fists. “Julian, Mom. My mom is not feeling well, and she’s been hospitalized. I spent some time accompanying her at the hospital. That’s why I’m late,” said Rayna while changing her shoes at the entrance. “Darling!” Julian hurried over and handed her suitcase over to the housekeeper. “You must be exhausted from the Norham business trip.

Why didn’t you ask me to take care of your mom?” “I just thought it’s not a big deal, and I’m back from Norham anyway. You’re also busy, so I took care of it myself. I’ve also hired a nurse to look after my mom. Don’t worry.” Rayna smiled faintly. “You must be really tired, Darling.” Julian wanted to kiss her cheek. Rayna calmly avoided it. “I’m hungry. Let’s have dinner first.” However, there was no dinner on the dining table. Julian quickly followed behind her and said, “I came home early today, and I was

starving. So I had an early dinner with Mom. What do you want to eat? I’ll get the housekeeper to cook for you.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Rayna reckoned Julian and Rolanda had had dinner with that woman earlier, so she pursed her lips and said, “It’s fine. I don’t really have an appetite anyway.” She then went upstairs and put the divorce agreement on her bedside table. She wanted to talk to Julian about it later. However, Julian did not come up to the bedroom even after she was done showering. Thinking that Julian was probably in the second bedroom again, Rayna went over with the divorce agreement in her hands. The light in the bathroom of the second bedroom was on, and she heard the sound of running water. Julian was taking a bath. Just as she picked up his clothes on the ground and wanted to put them into the laundry bag, a black phone dropped out of his pocket and onto the carpet. Rayna and Julian did not have the habit of checking each other’s phones because they trusted each other. However, at that moment, Rayna wanted to know what Julian and that woman had been chatting about on the phone. She managed to unlock Julian’s phone easily because she had seen him enter his password before. Looking at the WhatsApp icon, she hesitated for a moment before clicking it. The chat box at the top was the one he had with his superior. Rayna opened the chat box and found that their conversation was very intimate. That woman had even sent him a photo of the two of them kissing.

Rayna felt nauseous looking at those messages. When she scrolled up, she saw something even more shocking. That woman had been asking Julian when he would file a divorce, and she had even helped him come up with plots and schemes. Her message read: The head of the translation department is going to have a birthday party next month, and he’ll definitely invite a lot of people to his party. I’ll arrange for someone to drink with Rayna and make her drunk. He’ll bring Rayna to a hotel and sleep with her after that. Then you will go to the hotel and catch Rayna in the act. If Rayna’s caught cheating, she won’t be able to get anything from the matrimonial assets, and she’ll also lose her job. Rayna trembled with anger after reading the messages. What shocked her the most was that Julian agreed with the woman’s suggestion and praised her for her great idea. He even discussed with her about

finding which colleague to help them with their scheme. Rayna had found out that Julian had been having an affair on the night of their anniversary, but she had never thought about fighting for the matrimonial assets as she felt sorry for him too that she had a sexual disorder. Yet little did she expect that Julian had been planning how to make her not get anything out of the marriage and also ruin her reputation in the company. What does our marriage mean to him?
