"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,
When Jepherson entered the room, Raeleigh was still asleep, but it appeared that her sleep was a restless one. She was sweating profusely. It seemed as though she was being tormented by a nightmare. Jepherson immediately went to her and woke her up. "Raeleigh... Raeleigh..." Jepherson gently called out to Raeleigh. Her eyes opened as she looked right at him. "You're..." "I'm Jepherson. Are you having another bad dream?" Jepherson asked as he wiped the sweat off her face. Raeleigh was panting and quite some time had passed before she finally calmed down. Jepherson wrapped his arms around her, covering her with the quilt. He queried, "What happened? Was it that scary?" Raeleigh shook her head and replied, "It's alright. It's over." "Why is it that you've only been having nightmares recently?" Jepherson kissed Raeleigh at the top of her head. She lifted her eyelids to meet his gaze and asked, "Have you ever gone through a traumatizing experience?" "Of course,
Santiago stopped the car and eyed the Moore family residence. The gates were wide open, meaning that they were expecting guests that day. Otherwise, they would never have left the gate open to allow people to come and go as they wished. As soon as Santiago arrived, he parked his car right in front of the gates. He got out and stood there for a while. When the people on the other side of the gates saw him, they hurriedly went out to stop him. Santiago pushed them away and bellowed, "Where is she?" The Moore family members feared Santiago. He was only 17 years old but he was already driving all over the place, with no one who dared to keep him in line. His parents were not in Capital City and his older brother doted on him. His grandmother did not inquire into his affairs. He was allowed to run rampant on the roads, but if someone offended him or if he got into an accident, what were they to do? "Mr. Santiago, are you sure you've come to the right place? How is it
Elina pointed at Santiago and ordered her servants to drag him out. Santiago refused to move. He lowered his head and looked at Cynthia, saying, "I'm asking you a question. What's going on?" Cynthia blushed. "It's a matchmaking session." Santiago turned around and looked at the father and son opposite him. He strode over and asked, "Who are you two?" "My name is Yitzhak Clark. This is my son, Zsolt Clark, and you are?" "I am Santiago Richards. I have never heard of you, but you don't seem like an ordinary citizen. There is one thing I don't understand." "Please, tell me what it is." As soon as Yitzhak heard Santiago's name, everything became crystal clear to him. Santiago was not a person to be trifled with. Hansen and his wife were currently out of the country, on their honeymoon. Their sons did not have a single worry in the world. Santiago's true purpose was a mystery. "Do you know that Cynthia and I are friends?" Santiago asked. Yousif shot dagge
Cynthia tugged at Santiago's hand and pleaded, "You should leave. Things will get worse if you stay here." "I'll only leave once you're fine. Come, I want to take you to see someone who can help sort this out. We'll ask him if this is your fate." Santiago walked past Flynt, bringing Cynthia towards Johan's quarters. The rest of the Moore family were gossiping outside. However, they were accusing Elina of selling her own daughter for the sake of her own selfish ends, and no one breathed a word about Santiago. Flynt's face was drained of color. He briefly glanced at his parents, Elina and Yousif, who had come out of the room. He then turned around and left. Elina's body trembled as she took two steps back. Her face had turned pale too. Yanora quickly rushed over from behind to prop her mother up. When Yanora first saw Santiago, she was at a loss and stayed in the room, only running out after Flynt and Santiago had left. Elina looked back at Yanora and said,
