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
"Raeleigh, I admit that I have been prejudiced towards you in the past. I'm sure you could tell. However, in reality, it's not that I don't like you. It was because I was worried about Deanna, that naive child. I acted that way because I didn't want her to feel inferior to you. Don't take it to heart," said Marissa. Raeleigh replied with a smile, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Marissa was taken aback. She guessed that Raeleigh did not want to speak of such things to save her the embarrassment. She was pleased with Raeleigh's response and changed the topic. "It's good that that's how you feel about it. I will keep that in mind. Now, I want you to sit down. There is something I want to ask you." Marissa pulled Raeleigh to a seat. Raeleigh followed Marissa and sat by her side. After thinking for a while, Marissa asked, "How are things between you and Santiago?" Raeleigh gave it some thought before replying, "We have not contacted each other in a long t
Raeleigh slept in the car for the whole morning while the rest continued searching for Deanna. By the time Raeleigh woke up, it was already noon. She knew she could not sit around and wait for Deanna to emerge from her hiding spot. With that, Raeleigh got out of the car and searched several streets. Stuart was afraid that something would happen to Raeleigh, so he followed her. As evening arrived, she still could not find Deanna. Making her way back to the car, she found Zorion and the others waiting by the car. They were all quiet when they saw her. Raeleigh had no choice but to walk to the other side. Stuart opened the car door for her to get in. She sat in the car, staring into space. What else could she have done? None of them were able to find Deanna. Not long after, Jepherson entered the car. As soon as he got in, he pulled Raeleigh into his arms and kissed her forehead. Then, he said, "Don't worry. I'm sure we'll be able to find her." Raeleigh wrapped her arms a
Jepherson did not answer Raeleigh's question. As soon as they got home, Jepherson led Raeleigh upstairs for a shower first. They had been busy these past couple of days and had to worry about Deanna. Raeleigh put aside all of her worries and went to take a shower. Then, she lay down on the bed and thought about her and Jepherson. She felt a little fickle and impatient as she lay on the bed. After Jepherson dried off his hair, he walked towards the bed. He sat on it and looked at Raeleigh. He asked her whether she was tired. Raeleigh replied, "A little. Are you going to take a rest?" "No, I'm going to head out and check on Santiago and Zorion. I need to know what their plans are. If my grandmother finds out about this, then it will be very troublesome." Jepherson lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh. Although he was reluctant to leave, he had no choice. Thus, he left after giving her a kiss. Raeleigh's mood was much better after Jepherson left. However, she found
