Chapter 1038 Turning Down a Marriage Proposal

Author: Flower
Johan was perceptive enough to know what Jepherson was trying to convey. Nonetheless, he did not bother responding to his remarks.

Otherwise, he would have fallen right into his trap.

Nonetheless, he knew that Jepherson would not leave unless the Moore family came clean about what they had done.

Jepherson then glanced at Santiago and said, "Well, since our visit isn t welcomed, let me be frank and tell things straight from me then. We ll leave afterwards."

The old butler glanced at Johan before directing his gaze at the two siblings. He had a feeling that there was more to what Jepherson said. He had only just scratched the surface.

"Old Master hasn t been well," the old butler said. "The doctor has told us that his memory is deteriorating. He would need to rack his brains to recall what has happened."

The old butler glanced at Johan as he spoke. However, he remained silent.

Jepherson smirked. "Well, so the butler is apparently the one calli

    As Jepherson and Santiago walked out of the Moore family s home, they each got into their own cars. Jepherson then sped off. Santiago hurried after him. From expressways to local streets, the two siblings went about racing each other. Jepherson led the high-speed car chase as he drove to the top of a hill. Refusing to concede defeat, Santiago tried to play catch-up. He stopped when he was a dozen or so meters away from Jepherson. Then, he got out of the car. As they reached the top of the hill, Jepherson looked for somewhere to sit. Santiago followed suit. The two siblings did not talk. They sat there for a while. As it was getting late, Santiago yawned and said he was feeling drowsy. They then made a move. When they arrived at the foot of the hill, Jepherson told Santiago, "Head to the school and pick Raeleigh up. Let's go for a meal." "Why don't you go?" Santiago said as he leaned back in his seat. "Well, can you cook us a meal then?" Jepherson asked. "

    Now that Raeleigh had received the ring and the bracelet, a sense of unease crept up on her. Even though she had expressly informed Jepherson that she was not after fame and fortune, his proposal somehow caught her off guard. She felt that he was rather self-serving in that he did as he pleased and did not consider her feelings. In other words, as long as it made him happy, he would go public with their relationship. A few people could be seen sitting in the living room on the first floor. Raeleigh was sitting beside Jepherson while he was chatting with Santiago. Raeleigh stood up and went upstairs. Since she would not be returning to her home, she went upstairs to have a rest. She wanted to collect herself too. A few moments later, Jepherson went upstairs. As soon as he went into the room, he saw Raeleigh looking pensive as she fell into a daze. Jepherson closed the door and walked towards Raeleigh. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, he lowered h

    Soon afterwards, Scarlette was back. She put the pair of black sneakers on the floor. Santiago waved at Raeleigh. "Come here." Raeleigh had no idea what he was up to. When she came closer, Santiago held onto her shoulder as he put on his sneakers. He treated Raeleigh as if she were mere railings in order to keep his balance. Raeleigh gave him a grumpy look. She looked unusually annoyed. After putting on his shoes, Santiago did some warm up exercises. Then, he made his way to the basketball court. Raeleigh and Scarlette tagged along. There was quite a commotion when they reached the court. Everyone was cheering for Santiago. A sea of onlooking crowds could be seen encircling the court at that moment. "Take a seat," Santiago said as he motioned Raeleigh and Scarlette to head to the seating area. The girls glanced around the court. Then, they made their way to the seating area. Quite a number of players could be seen standing at the court by then. Raele

    Santiago had been playing half-heartedly since the second half of the game commenced. He had been losing control of the ball whenever he dribbled. The score had been fifty-six to twenty-one. In a short span of time, the opposing team was able to catch up. The current score was then fifty-six to fifty-five. Like a cat on a hot tin roof, the PE teacher was agitated at that moment. He directed his pointer at Santiago, as if grumbling about how he had been messing up. However, he did not reprimand him directly. After all, his family owned Elkton University. Having had to suppress his anger, he was therefore not in a good state of mind. Raeleigh could not help but to be amused to find the PE teacher rubbing his forehead whenever Santiago lost control while dribbling. Had she not been worrying, she would have laughed out loud. Now that the opposing team was only one point behind, the PE teacher did not say anything, but the coach yelled, "Hey, Santiago. What s wrong with y

    Deanna was excited to learn that Santiago had never had a girlfriend. Exhilarated, she chimed in, "Well, Santiago isn t exactly a brat. He s saved my life." "Of course he's not a brat. The Whalens and the Richards have known each other for the longest time. Both of you were childhood friends who grew up together. Naturally, he won't turn his back on you when you re in danger." "Really?" Deanna said. She looked skeptical. "Yes, absolutely," Raeleigh said. "Raeleigh, could you please do me a favor?" Deanna said blushingly. "Find out what kind of girls Santiago likes." Raeleigh wondered how Deanna would react if she came to know that Santiago was in a romantic relationship with Cynthia. "Oh, you poor thing. What have you got yourself into," she thought. Raeleigh paused for a while and said, "Sure. But it will take time though. I ve got to find an opportunity." "No biggie. Be sure to find out..." Deanna remained silent afterwards. As she bit her lips

    Agitated, Deanna almost burst into tears as she received the call. "They ve agreed to join us for dinner, so why didn't they come?" Deanna thought. "Zorion, does Santiago hate me?" Deanna said. "Is that the reason he refuses to join us for dinner?" She had a bee in her bonnet. After all, she could tell that Santiago did not quite take a liking to her. Zorion walked towards Deanna and playfully pinched her cheek. "No worries," he said. "It has got nothing to do with you. I guess something came up. Let's head to the dormitory later to find out what happened. In the meantime, let s dig in. We ll get some food for them in a bit." Deanna felt much better after Zorion consoled her. She then turned around and started digging in. After that, she ordered some food for Raeleigh. As darkness set in, boys were prohibited from entering the women's dormitories. There were exceptions to every rule though, as Santiago could be seen lingering in Raeleigh s dormitory. A

    After the car pulled up, Raeleigh raised her head to marvel at the Richards Group s skyscraper office building. It was her first time here. She was surprised to find many luxury cars parked by the side of the building. Raeleigh clasped her laptop in her arms as she got out of the car. Jepherson glanced at Stuart, signalling him to help Raeleigh. Immediately, Stuart walked towards Raeleigh and extended his arms. "Miss Anson, let me carry the laptop," he said. Raeleigh handed the laptop to Stuart. Then, she lowered her head and looked at her clothes. She was relieved to find that she was decently dressed in a formal business suit. Otherwise, she would not be able to leave a good first impression. Now that she was here at the company, she knew that she would be taking part in the production of Phantasy Dream. It would be her first day working officially at the Richards Group. Considering this, it would be unbecoming of her if she were to leave a bad impression on her co

    Jepherson said a few words before the meeting ended. Then, he got up to take Raeleigh's laptop. He glanced at Raeleigh and held her hand before leading her out of the conference room. The conference room was as quiet as a graveyard. Stuart could be seen twitching his lips when he saw Jepherson holding Raeleigh s hand. "Oh wow, what does Mr. Jepherson think he is doing?" he thought. As they walked out of the conference room, Raeleigh attempted to pull away from Jepherson. However, he refused to let her go. Feeling helpless, she gave in and said, "Somebody s watching." "Are you scared though?" Jepherson asked while he was walking. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "You re the boss. No one dares to spill the tea." "I m glad you re aware," Jepherson said. "Stuart, can you make some arrangements? A flight in the afternoon. I m bringing Raeleigh along. You don t have to come though." Jepherson then led Raeleigh to his office. "Where are we going?" Raeleig

    Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he

    When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra

    Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd

    After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick

    After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."

    When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for

    The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil

    Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra

    Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
