After the confrontation, Raeleigh turned around and intended to go outside. Marissa sneered and said, "If you walk out of the gates of Richards Manor now, then I promise that the people around you will be in trouble. And that's a promise." Raeleigh stopped, turned around, and fixed her eyes on Marissa. It never occurred to Raeleigh that she could get Marissa's recognition. After all, she used to treat Marissa that way. However, Raeleigh did not expect that she would be such a ruthless person. From the looks of it, Jepherson inherited her character. "Well, what do you intend to do? First of all, I don't even want to stay by your grandson's side. So, whoever your grandson marries has nothing to do with me. If we are separated, then you'd better stop him from coming to me. And the way you threaten me like this, it won't be good for your reputation if word gets out." Raeleigh did not wait for Jepherson to say anything, and said to Marissa in a neither servile nor ov
Time passed like flowing water. He had dreamt about a time when he was old. He was like the sun in the middle of the sky, and Jepherson was his shadow. This feeling... Hansen wanted to laugh but he couldn't. Once upon a time, he was also young and passionate. However... His days passed like falling flowers, lingering in his mind for many years, and the autumn wind was desolate. Suddenly, he understood one thing and he was unhappy about the discovery. He had wasted a lot of time when he was young. In the end, he felt that life was too short. He didn't want to waste his time again. "I heard that you quarreled with your grandmother." Hansen was silent for a moment before he asked his son, Jepherson, who lowered her head and remained silent. Hansen rose to his feet. Jepherson stood up to support him. The father and son both understood the reason for the silence. Since he was silent, it meant that he admitted to it. How could Hansen not
After Raeleigh left the hospital, she planned to go back. Jepherson did not say that he would not allow her to go back. Later, the car arrived at the door of Xanthus's residence. Raeleigh got out of the car and went straight to him. However... "Why are you also getting out of the car?" Hearing the footsteps following her, Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson with a displeased face. "I am homeless now. Don't you intend to take me in?" After saying that, Jepherson stepped towards Xanthus's villa. Raeleigh stopped outside for a while, and she then followed him inside. After entering through the door, Raeleigh changed her shoes and looked into the villa. Xanthus had already prepared the food and was waiting for Raeleigh to come back to eat together. But the atmosphere was still a little strange. After all, Xanthus did not expect that it was Jepherson who came in first, and he had already gone inside. Raeleigh explained to Xanthus, "I will find a way to let
Raeleigh got up the next morning. The first thing she did was to look out of the window, but there was no one outside. While she thought about this, Xanthus knocked on the door and asked Raeleigh to eat. Raeleigh walked downstairs and saw that Jepherson was sitting on the table waiting for her to start eating breakfast. "You're awake?" Jepherson asked when he saw Raeleigh, but she didn't answer. She just walked to the other end of the table and sat down. Jepherson tugged at Raeleigh's face as he looked at it carefully. After a while, she lowered her head and said, "The matter has been settled. I'm going to the hospital later. Come with me." "I don't want to go to the hospital. You go ahead." "If you don't go, Mom will be worried." "... You're guilt tripping me." Jepherson didn't know how to respond to that. He picked up his bowl to eat. Raeleigh was depressed and didn't want to eat. After breakfast, Raeleigh got changed immediately. Thinking ab
Raeleigh only found out that Jepherson had left when she got up the next morning. Xanthus said from down the stairs, "He had a misunderstanding. He thought that there was something between you and Flynt. He was just upset for a second." Raeleigh began descending the stairs. She knew this, of course, but she didn't think it was anything bad. "I know he must have misunderstood." After she finished breakfast, she followed Xanthus to visit Flynt. However, when they arrived at the hospital, they were blocked off by the Moore family, so they didn't go in. "Let's go home then." Raeleigh wasn't exactly dying to see Flynt anyway. She thought to herself that if Jepherson had hurt Flynt out of a moment's rage, it meant that he had been wrongly accused. If this was the case, who was the real culprit then? It was probably Flynt himself. Perhaps he was fine after all. Thus, it didn't matter whether she looked into this or not. Raeleigh followed Xanthus back to the
Santiago walked towards Raeleigh. The men who were in his way didn't dare approach him. They all knew his temper. He didn't care about the consequences when he beat others up. When he was in front of Raeleigh, Santiago suddenly raised his hand and pinched her face, making Raeleigh at a loss for words. He brought his hands together after pinching her. "Not bad, we don't see each other for a day and you've gotten yourself in quite the mess." She stared blankly at Santiago, unable to utter a single word. Behind him, Jacky walked up to him after taking care of the group of men. Santiago turned around to look at Jacky, "Thank you!" "Heh!" Jacky hummed in amusement. "Let's go home." Santiago turned on his heel and walked out of the alley while looking at the men on the ground. He walked over to one of them, squatted down and looked at his face. "Do you know what the consequences are for offending me?" "Mr. Santiago, we were just following orders. Please fo
Raeleigh arrived at the door to her house. When she got out of the car, Jepherson's car slowly stopped next to her before the man himself emerged from his car. "When did you get back?" When he spotted Santiago, Jepherson's face fell. His gaze followed Santiago, who was getting out of the car. "I just got back. I'm tired. I'm going in to take a bath." Santiago walked to the back of his car and popped open the trunk. He took out a suitcase and placed it on the ground. He then closed the trunk and went into the house. Raeleigh felt that something was amiss based on how angry they looked. She looked at Santiago, who was walking into the house. Xanthus got out of the car and looked at them as well, but didn't say anything, nor did he follow them inside. Instead, he stayed behind to keep Raeleigh company. Jepherson also stared at Santiago. After a while, he looked away and diverted his attention towards Raeleigh. "The Old Madam had sent those men over. I was on
"It's fine, Xanthus. I'm already done," Raeleigh said. She had cooked up fish, some stewed meat, two vegetable dishes, and a beef and tomato soup - all of which were her specialties. Xanthus looked into the kitchen with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "Even I, as your brother, have never seen you prepare so much delicious food for me before." "That's because you don't need me to." Raeleigh brought the soup out and handed a pair of oven mitts to Xanthus. Xanthus raised his eyebrows. "Why don't I remember that?" "Take your time to recall." "Rae Rae..." Raeleigh hummed in response, raising her head just as Xanthus said, "Have you noticed that you're being especially nice to Santiago?" "He's still young, so of course I have to be nice to him." Raeleigh did not notice anything wrong with what she said. "He's just about done with puberty. Don't you think that he might have had some lapses in judgement?" Xanthus stared at the beef and t
