Flynt sat and said nothing as Cynthia lectured him. In the end, he could only stand up and leave. "I'll take my leave." Flynt made his way to the door and was about to leave. However, when he reached the door, he turned around and looked at Cynthia, and he then said, "I mean no harm. I want to please her, that's all. I don't want her to avoid me when she sees me. Cynthia, Jepherson and I are both men. Am I not comparable to him?" "Flynt, there's no comparison in relationships. You're going to regret it sooner or later." Cynthia did not know how to feel. On one hand, Flynt was her brother. On the other hand, it concerned the person she cared about the most. She did not know how to rectify the situation, but she knew that what her brother did was wrong. Flynt looked at his sister and said, "Cynthia, I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that I can't control myself sometimes." With that, Flynt walked out of the room. Cynthia stood at the door and watched as Flynt le
"I know that you have your own views, but Raeleigh is a person. You can't be rude to her," Xanthus said after Raeleigh went into the kitchen to fetch some soup. Santiago, who sat opposite him, took a bite of his food and refuted, "That's my problem. Mind your own business." "I won't care about you, but there's no way for me not to care about her." Xanthus' face was filled with displeasure. Santiago shot him a glance and said, "You can care about her all you want." Santiago did not give in to Xanthus at all, and Xanthus was so pissed that he stopped eating, but when Raeleigh returned to the table, he hurriedly picked up his cutlery and continued eating as if nothing had happened. Raeleigh placed the bowl of soup in front of Xanthus and Santiago. Xanthus drank a mouthful of soup before putting it down. The two men pretended that nothing had happened, but Raeleigh sensed the tension in the room. Raeleigh sat down and began to eat. During that period of time, she di
"You're here as well?" Cynthia immediately greeted Raeleigh when she entered the car. Although Cynthia was slightly older than Raeleigh, she was sensible. Yanora, who sat in the back with Raeleigh, took the initiative to greet her as well. She didn't want to lose to Cynthia. Raeleigh politely exchanged greetings with both Cynthia and Yanora. The three of them were calm all the way. Santiago then started the car engine and drove towards the shopping mall. Yanora had her gaze fixed on Santiago as he drove. The displeasure in her eyes surged when she saw Santiago smiling at Cynthia. Raeleigh, who was sitting beside Yanora, quietly observed her. When they arrived at the shopping mall, Yanora did not immediately get out of the car. Santiago turned around and announced, "We're here." Yanora had never been treated in such a way. Her driver would usually help open the door for her, but unfortunately, there was no such service that day. She was in a terrible mood. Especi
It was a famous romantic movie, and it happened to be airing at the right moment. Raeleigh and Cynthia were so immersed in the movie that they had even forgotten to eat the popcorn, especially Cynthia, who had burst into tears. Santiago took a piece of tissue out and helped Cynthia wipe her tears away. Cynthia was absorbed in all the crying and couldn't be bothered to react to it. Then, he reached out and brushed her nose gently. "Don't cry. It affects others and makes my heart ache for you." Santiago hugged Cynthia and comforted her before letting go. It was only then she felt embarrassed and stopped crying to continue watching the movie. Raeleigh, who was sitting on the other side of Santiago, was also invested in the movie, but not to Cynthia's level. Perhaps it was because of the environment she had grown up in. She did not share the same views in love as the others. Raeleigh did not like the female lead in the movie. She felt that the female lead was a coward and
Raeleigh and Cynthia held each other's hands tightly. Raeleigh would be lying if she said she wasn't worried. She said it because she did not want Cynthia to worry. As for how worried she was, she was actually more worried than Cynthia. She was afraid that Santiago would not be able to dodge when she saw them thrusting their daggers forward. However, she did not to dare exert pressure on Cynthia's hands, as once she did so, Cynthia would know that she was actually worried. Although Santiago could take those men down alone, there would be a moment where one of them might run loose. Then, several of them tried to go after Raeleigh and Cynthia. Santiago failed to stop them and yelled, "Run!" Raeleigh instantly turned around and pulled Cynthia to follow her. Although she managed to get out of there in time, she did not dare to run fast. "Cynthia, they might be coming for you. You should hide. We'll be fine as long as you don't come out." Raeleigh wanted Cynthia to g
Raeleigh sat in the waiting room and waited for Santiago to emerge from the examination room. The doctor said that Santiago had to be hospitalized to monitor his condition, but he refused. Raeleigh had no choice but to persuade him. "You're seriously injured. What happens if your wound flares up?" Raeleigh kept on lecturing him. Xanthus couldn't stand it anymore, so he suggested, "If you don't want to spend the night in the hospital, then you can stay at my place. I can take care of you. I have all the necessary equipment at home, and I'm quite experienced in this." "Fine, I'll stay in the hospital," Santiago said all of a sudden. Xanthus glanced at Raeleigh. In fact, he did not have all the necessary equipment at home. He made it all up. Raeleigh pursed her lips and took a look at Xanthus when she realized that he had used reverse psychology on Santiago. Raeleigh intended to help Santiago with the hospital admission procedure. However, Xanthus stopped her
The next morning, when Raeleigh opened her eyes and saw Jepherson, she was a little stunned. She did not expect Jepherson to show up at that moment. Raeleigh wanted to sit up in bed, but Jepherson quickly placed a finger on his lips, gesturing for her to continue sleeping. Raeleigh took a quick look around the ward and realized that everyone was still asleep. She was the only one awake. However, Raeleigh refused to go back to sleep and immediately sat up in bed. She had a lot to say to him. She needed to get all of those thoughts and feelings out of her head, or else she might feel uncomfortable. She disregarded Jepherson's instruction and immediately got off the bed to put on her shoes. Then, she pulled Jepherson out of the ward into the corridor. She wanted to blurt out those thoughts in her mind, but just as she was about to do so, she heard Jepherson say, "Raeleigh, I have something to tell you." Raeleigh stood in the corridor and turned to look at Jep
It had been a few days since Santiago had been hospitalized. Raeleigh's hand had fully healed, and they were about to be discharged. However, Jepherson did not show up in the past few days, nor did he contact Raeleigh either. It was Raeleigh who took the initiative to call him twice. Although he did answer the phone, he was no longer as gentle as before. There was still warmth in his tone albeit different. Raeleigh hung up the phone and looked over at Scarlette. "Let's go. Jepherson is not coming. He has something to attend to." "He's not coming even when you're being discharged today?" Scarlette complained in a low voice. "Let's go." Raeleigh exited the ward, followed by Scarlette and the rest as they all headed home together. Xanthus was a great help. He even sent them home. When they arrived home, he got out of the car and went up to Novalie's room to explain to her the situation. Raeleigh stood aside. Novalie lifted her head and took a look at her granddaugh
