Raeleigh was speechless as she had never seen such a man who liked to joke that much. "Then, I'll leave first." "Go ahead then." Raeleigh left Lamarre's side and headed downstairs. She was just below Jepherson's office. It was impossible for her to go and find him, but then again, she did not want to wait for him to come out. So, she decided to wait outside. After all, she did not want to attract attention. Although Jepherson wanted to make their relationship public, Raeleigh still preferred to maintain a low profile. Raeleigh received a call from Jepherson when she arrived downstairs. "I've arrived at your place. Have you come out yet?" Jepherson came out of the elevator, intending to look for Raeleigh. Raeleigh turned around and walked to the door. "I'm already out. I'm waiting for you outside of the building." "Why are you waiting for me outside? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in Mr. Lee's office?" Jepherson had informed her beforehand, and she
The day after was the weekend. Jepherson planned to stay at the Ink Garden at Richards Manor to spend some time with Marissa. Raeleigh, on the other hand, did not need to go to the office. She could use the two days to rest and spend some time with Novalie. Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms as they exited the house. He lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh. By the time they pulled away from each other, she was out of breath. When Jepherson let go of Raeleigh, she shot him a glare and said, "People are going to see us." "And what's wrong with that?" Jepherson asked as he lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh again. Then, he let go and said, "Please take care of yourself these couple of days. Stay home and rest. Do not go anywhere." "Alright. I get it." Raeleigh promised. However, as soon as Jepherson left, she suddenly remembered that she had not gone to visit the owner of the burger joint yet. Raeleigh thought for a while and wondered, should she meet up w
The sun was rising outside the window. Raeleigh laid in bed with her hands on her head, wondering, "How is it possible?" Raeleigh shook her head. It was impossible. She must have been overthinking, so that was why she had such a dream. But, was it really a dream? Why did the boy in her dream look so familiar? She felt as if she had met him before. Raeleigh sat up and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Then, she got out of bed, put on her clothes, and went out the door. Just as Raeleigh was making her way down the stairs, Santiago frowned slightly when he saw her and asked, "Are you alright? You look pale." Raeleigh shook her head. "Nothing, I'm fine." Santiago was amused by her answer. Raeleigh was staring at Santiago in a daze. Santiago walked up the stairs and touched her forehead. "What's wrong?" "No, nothing." Raeleigh trembled as she spoke. Santiago was even more unsure. "Are you feeling unwell? Come with me, I'll drive you to the hospital."
Novalie sighed softly. "Everything is fated, both the good and the bad. We'll go through things that have been decided by fate. Time will prove everything." Raeleigh listened to whatever her grandmother had to say. After a while, Novalie was feeling tired, so Raeleigh left. Feeling overwhelmed, she felt her knees grow weak, and she had nearly forgotten how to go down the stairs. Raeleigh sat on the couch downstairs for a long time and saw no signs of anyone else. A few moments later, Santiago came home with the puppy in his arms. Only then did she stand up and stared at Santiago. Raeleigh decided to let it go. She pressed her lips together and said nothing. Santiago walked over to her and asked, "Are you still feeling unwell?" Raeleigh shook her head. "No, I'm fine. It's just that there was no one when I came downstairs." "Scarlette and Hadrian went somewhere else to play games. If you need Scarlette, then you can just call her," Santiago said as he
Raeleigh made the first move. She walked over to the couch and sat opposite Deanna. Deanna wanted to ask Raeleigh where she was that late at night. Even if Raeleigh was not feeling well, she was with Jepherson. Why did she allow Santiago to carry her? What was more, Raeleigh seemed to be fine. Why did Santiago have to carry her? What was going on? Before Deanna could ask her questions, Santiago entered the house with a bag in his hand. It was something he had obtained from the hospital. Apart from the list of examinations done by the doctor, there were also some medicines. As Raeleigh was pregnant, she had to watch her diet. She had to take supplements that were good for her and her baby. "Serra." Santiago handed the bag in his hand to Serra. He glanced at Scarlette, who was yawning, as well as Hadrian. "It's late, why are you guys still awake?" Scarlette pouted. She obviously wanted nothing more than to go to sleep, but Deanna was here. She was like a pri
Raeleigh watched as Santiago made his way back to his room. Then, she turned to look at Zorion and Deanna, asking, "What are you guys still doing here at this hour? Is there something I can help you with?" Zorion let go of his hold on Deanna and sat to one side. He briefly glanced at his sister, motioning for her to talk. "It's nothing. It's just that I feel bored without you and Scarlette in school, so I decided to come and visit you. I heard that you moved to a new home," Deanna said casually. Raeleigh felt that she was not telling the truth. "It's already the wee hours of morning. I'm a little sleepy. Why don't you head home first? If you have anything to say..." "Raeleigh, can we live here?" Before Raeleigh finished her words, Deanna cut her off. Raeleigh did not know what to say. They had plenty of spare rooms in the house. Since Deanna wanted to live here, it was impossible for her to reject her request. "The two of you can stay in the guest room." R
After Raeleigh accompanied Novalie for a stroll in the yard, she sent her back to the room before taking a seat on the couch downstairs. When one had something on their mind, it was hard to see other things in their surroundings. Even the smartest ones would be in a daze. Santiago was still mad at Deanna and Zorion that morning. He still had not gotten over it yet. He pulled a long face at breakfast. If it weren't for Novalie's presence, then he would have definitely vented out his frustrations at Raeleigh. However, before he realized it, Deanna was chatting away with Raeleigh on the couch. Raeleigh was still in a daze as she sat there. It was still morning, so Santiago was bothered by it. After taking an apple from the kitchen, Santiago walked towards Raeleigh and sat down beside her. He took a sniff of the apple and waved the apple in front of Raeleigh. When Raeleigh finally came back to her senses, she asked, "Yes?" "What happened to you? You look like your s
Santiago and Zorion stood up almost at the same time. Zorion did not think Raeleigh had any money with her. However, considering she was a student and somewhat of a blockhead, it wasn't weird if she really did not have money. However, Raeleigh was obviously still worried about the money that she owed him. It was no wonder she had been in a stupor since morning. Santiago immediately understood that Raeleigh owed the Whalen family some money. The two of them stood up at the same time, wanting to find some money. Zorion took out his wallet, but Santiago had already taken out some money and tossed it to Raeleigh. "Here, use mine." Santiago did not even bother to count the money. Raeleigh froze for a moment. In the end, Zorion did not take out his money. No one cared, especially Deanna. From the start, Deanna had thought that Zorion was going to give her the money, so she took away Zorion's wallet without hesitation. Then, she dragged Zorion to sit beside
