Raeleigh briefly looked at Jepherson and said, "Since you're planning to stay the night, do you want to take a bath? I'll go and start the bath." Raeleigh stood up and made her way into the bathroom. However, Jepherson got up and held her from behind. He kissed her neck and said, "Why don't you join me?" Jepherson's voice was low and hoarse, full of desire. Raeleigh did not know what was wrong, but she felt a sharp pain in her heart and could not utter a word. After a long time, Raeleigh raised her hand to stop Jepherson from touching her. She turned around and said to Jepherson, "I am feeling a little unwell. I spent the entire day playing poker. Let's not do it today." Jepherson wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head to kiss her nose and lips. He stared deep into her eyes but she did not dare to look at him. She avoided making eye contact with him, not willing to reciprocate. After Jepherson kissed her, he sighed a
Novalie asked Raeleigh, "He's here, isn't he?" Raeleigh was taking a bite of her food when she heard the question. She raised her head to look at her grandmother. Novalie smiled and said, "I'm your grandmother, so I know everything. What did he do this time to make you angry?" Raeleigh shook her head. "No, he did not do anything. It's my own problem." "Then, why are you hiding here? I'm used to eating alone. You should be joining them for breakfast, right? What are you doing in my room then? What is he going to think of you? If something is bothering you, then you should discuss it with him. You should not keep it to yourself. He'll be anxious, not knowing what to do." Novalie felt that Raeleigh was good in everything, even in her schoolwork. If there was one flaw about her, then it was that she liked to keep everything to herself whenever she found herself at a dead end. Raeleigh took a bite of her breakfast and said, "I know." "Don't just say it, d
Raeleigh watched as the car disappeared in the distance. She held the tablet in her hand and walked towards Scarlette. She purposely looked left and right before crossing the road. She was pregnant then, so she had to be extra careful. Before Raeleigh could say anything to Scarlette, Deanna piped up and said, "Raeleigh, let's have lunch together." "Alright." ...... Raeleigh felt as if she was being held hostage as Deanna chattered away. Raeleigh initially thought that Scarlette was a chatterbox, but at that critical moment, she felt like taking her words back. Deanna was way chattier than her. Raeleigh did not know what to say. After lunch, she was afraid that Deanna would continue to pester her. So, she took advantage of Deanna's absent-mindedness and hid in the classroom. It was early autumn and the scenery in Elkton University was very romantic. It was a time where the men and the women would be hoping to find their true love underneath the beauti
Flynt stared into Raeleigh's bright eyes and said, "What I'm trying to say is... My sister, Cynthia, likes Santiago. Although I have no idea how Santiago did it, I'm not surprised, judging by his behavior. Cynthia was raised by our family ever since she was young and rarely leaves the house." "However, when I went abroad for my studies later, Cynthia came along with me. She and my elder sister, Yanora, took care of me." "Over the past few years, Cynthia has remained very cautious in everything she did. She has never been fooled by a man." "If Santiago hadn't deliberately seduced her, then I believe that she would not have been fooled by him." Flynt observed Raeleigh after she put forward her concerns. Raeleigh answered, "Santiago is still young and can be a little mischievous at times, but he is definitely not a bad person. It must be because of me that he kidnapped her. Is there anything wrong with Cynthia?" Although Raeleigh had no idea what kind of a pe
"We are friends," Santiago said. Raeleigh stopped and looked at Santiago. "Do friends stay up late at night to talk to each other?" "Who told you that friends don't stay up late at night to talk to each other?" Santiago knew what to say. Raeleigh was no match for him, so she kept quiet. After walking for a while, they arrived at a quiet place. Raeleigh suddenly remembered something and asked Santiago, "Where is Deanna?" "She was taken away by Scarlette." "Oh." "You're not allowed to be alone with Flynt next time. Sometimes I feel like you're dumb. You never learn from your mistakes," Santiago said to Raeleigh. Raeleigh said unhappily, "Hey, don't forget that I'm your sister-in-law. I'm two years older than you. How dare you talk to me like this?" "I really have no idea what to do with a sister-in-law like you. If I could choose, then I wouldn't have chosen you to be my sister-in-law." Raeleigh froze completely. She felt that Santiago did not th
"You can't even keep quiet at dinner, can you?" Jepherson glared at Santiago. Santiago did not even raise his head. He continued, "If you and Raeleigh did not have a disagreement, then why are you in such a bad mood?" "Mind your own business," Jepherson said. Then, he looked at Raeleigh and said, "You should eat more, only then will you get stronger." Raeleigh nodded. She already had a lot to eat, including a big bowl of soup. She was so full that she could not drink anymore, but since Jepherson asked her to drink, she had to drink it. After dinner, Jepherson took Raeleigh for a stroll outside. Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms as they walked. He held her hand and said, "I wonder whether the baby is a boy or a girl? I already have a few names in mind, but I'm not sure which one will suit the baby. I guess we'll have to wait until we get to see the gender of the baby." "We can't do that now." Raeleigh did not want to know the gender of the baby. Jepherson
Santiago did not know what to do as Raeleigh cried in his arms. He stood there, frozen in his steps. Then, he slowly raised his hand and wrapped his arms around Raeleigh as she cried. The crowd around them was just staring at them. The younger people were afraid of Santiago. No one had any idea what was going on when he suddenly shouted a while ago. The old man was not afraid of Santiago. He pointed to Santiago and said, "Your girlfriend is afraid to go through with the surgery. She is not willing to do it. You, as her boyfriend, are very irresponsible for forcing her to go for the surgery. How dare you yell here? And your parents, how have they raised you?" It was rare for Santiago not to say a word. He looked pale. Santiago glanced at the people around him before he bent down to pick Raeleigh up and turned to leave. Raeleigh kept on crying. She could not express the grievance in her heart. Santiago did not say anything and carried her straight back to the car.
Jepherson looked down at Raeleigh, who was quietly lying in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her. Raeleigh raised her head and looked at him. Soon, she nestled in his arms and buried her face in his chest. Jepherson tightened his hold around her and carried her back to the house. When they entered the house, he did not put her down. Instead, he carried her straight up to their room. Zorion and Deanna were still around and had not gone home. When Deanna saw Jepherson carrying Raeleigh, she wanted to go over to have a look. However, Zorion grabbed her arm and said, "Stay here." Deanna turned around and was met with her brother's unhappy face. However, Deanna felt a little upset when she saw the girl Zorion liked, in another man's arms. "Zorion, I want to go home," Deanna suddenly said. Zorion was stunned and looked over at her. "Didn't you say that you wanted to stay for dinner? Have you changed your mind?" "Yeah. I feel like going home now. Come on,
