After dinner, drowsiness overcame Raeleigh again. Before they had even cleared up, she had dozed off in a corner. As Jepherson and Raeleigh had prepared dinner, Scarlette and Hadrian were in charge of washing the dishes. Raeleigh intended to wait until Scarlette and Hadrian were done, but she fell asleep much quicker than she thought she would. Jepherson got up and carried Raeleigh back to their cabin. Scarlette and Hadrian were nowhere to be seen when they left. Cynthia told Santiago, "Your brother and Raeleigh are such a loving couple." "And we're not?" Santiago retorted in a joking manner. Cynthia blushed as she asked, "How are we the same?" "Emotions are universal. The right person will bring peace to you. My brother's temper is worse than mine. When he loses his temper, he's like a madman. You haven't seen it before, so you wouldn't understand. But whenever he's with her, he's as gentle as a lamb." Santiago laughed. He got up to chug his beer as he leaned f
After everyone got off the yacht, Santiago told the group that he would be sending Cynthia back to the Moore family residence. He bade farewell to everyone and headed to his car to drive Cynthia home. Scarlette and Hadrian left in another car, while Raeleigh and Jepherson waited for Stuart to come and pick them up. While Stuart drove, Raeleigh asked Jepherson as she looked at him, "Are you going to the office today?" Jepherson leaned aside with his legs crossed. He reached out for Raeleigh's hand and asked, "Is something the matter?" Raeleigh shook her head. "No, I just think it's too taxing for you to rush straight to the office right after we're back. You should take a rest." "You're this worried about me? Have you been captivated by my charm?" Jepherson smiled devilishly, holding onto Raeleigh's hand without any intention of letting go. However, he had too much work to complete that day. He had to go to the office to deal with it all. He wanted to hurry up an
Raeleigh cried for a while and came clean with her grandmother. She told her the entire story. Novalie could not help but to frown. "That's not right." Raeleigh stared at Novalie blankly. "What do you mean?" "So, you're saying that you're Jepherson's missing sister. How can you jump to that conclusion based on what you saw in those documents? Even abandoned children have to do a DNA test to confirm things. It's something even an old lady like me would know, so how could you not think of that? It's rare for you to be like this." Novalie looked helpless. However, Raeleigh did not lighten up at all. "Actually, I did think of doing a DNA test. However, the results between siblings are inconclusive. Jepherson's parents are currently abroad. Even if they come back here, it will be very difficult for me to try and get a sample from them." Raeleigh had thought about it all before. It was just that she could not think of a way to get a sample from Jepherson's parents. He
Before Raeleigh could see Santiago's phone screen, he raised his hand to push Raeleigh's face away. Raeleigh immediately pushed his hand away and asked, "What are you doing?" "You're asking me that? Do you know what you did? You're invading my privacy. I pushed you away, yet you still dare to ask me what I'm doing? There must be something wrong with you." Raeleigh was no match for Santiago when it came to arguments. She gave him a blank stare before facing the TV that was already switched off. Santiago sat up and handed his phone to Raeleigh. She looked up at him and asked, "Do you know that your brother is looking for your missing sibling?" "Didn't you ask me this before? Why are you asking me the same thing again?" Santiago evidently found it amusing. Raeleigh thought it over and said, "I'm just curious. Jepherson's been adamantly searching for years but you don't look like you care." "Of course not! Why does he want to look for a missing sibling? To spl
Now that Santiago had agreed to help, Raeleigh quickly gave him a brief account of the situation. She informed him that there were two children in the orphanage, both from a different city. Of these two children, one of them had to be the person Jepherson was looking for. Raeleigh had hoped that they would be able to find them. However, the two children had perished in the orphanage fire. Raeleigh did not want Jepherson to find out. She was disheartened because of that. Santiago sat in Raeleigh's room and carefully went over the information. His head was lowered as he listened to Raeleigh without interrupting her. At that time, it was already late at night. "That's all," Raeleigh concluded. Initially, she hadn't felt the need to explain since Santiago did not ask. However, she did not know what it was, perhaps it was guilt that spurred her to spill everything to Santiago the moment he looked at the information she laid out. Santiago raised his head to look at he
Raeleigh sat there in her house, thinking about Jepherson accompanying Santiago to make a proposal. After she mused over it for a while, she tucked into her breakfast. Raeleigh was planning to take a stroll in the backyard after she was done with breakfast. However, as soon as she exited the house, she was met with Deanna and Zorion getting out of their car. Deanna hurriedly ran over to Raeleigh when she spotted her. Tugging her hand, Deanna asked, "Raeleigh, I heard that you guys went to the sea?" Raeleigh turned around to look at Scarlette. Scarlette was very disdainful. How could Raeleigh think that she was the one who told Deanna? Raeleigh turned around and looked at Zorion. Then, she glanced back at Deanna. "I wanted to eat mackerel, so we decided to head out to sea to catch some." Raeleigh's answer was tactful. Deanna, after thinking it over, asked, "I heard that there were other people besides you, Jepherson, Scarlette, and Hadrian?" Raeleigh nodded
Scarlette's current expression was not to be trifled with. Out of the blue, she questioned Deanna, "What are you afraid of? What are you hiding?" "Nothing, it's nothing," Deanna replied suddenly. Zorion looked down at Deanna. He knew his sister better than anyone else. "Deanna, did you use that debt to threaten Raeleigh?" Zorion asked, keeping his head low. Deanna hurriedly shook her head and implored, "I didn't want to hurt Raeleigh. I just wanted her to spend more time with you." Deanna's face was overcome with gloominess. Zorion was dumbfounded for a second, but he did not put the blame on Deanna. Instead, he held her in his arms and told her, "It's okay. I'm not mad. You're still young, you don't know enough." "Young? She's the same age as us. It's because of a brother like you that..." Scarlette started. Zorion instantly shot Scarlette a glare. Scarlette immediately cut herself off. Zorion then said, "I apologize on Deanna's behalf." Raeleigh wa
"Deanna..." Zorion yelled as he chased her from behind. As he got into the car, about to drive away, Jepherson flung the car door open and pulled Raeleigh out of the car. "Scarlette, look after Raeleigh." As Raeleigh was pregnant, Jepherson did not want her to wander around. He was nearly scared to death when she ran out like that. Raeleigh didn't dare to act recklessly. She watched as Jepherson and Zorion chased after Deanna. After they left, Raeleigh looked over at Scarlette and said, "Call Santiago right now. I'm sure he has a solution." Just as Scarlette was about to call Santiago, Santiago's car pulled up at the front door. Raeleigh hurried over. When he had stopped the car, she walked over. "What's wrong?" Santiago asked. "Deanna has run away. Can you please go and find her? Jepherson got into a fight with Zorion. Deanna has feelings for you. When she found out about you and Cynthia, she immediately bolted." Anxiety was written all over R
