By the time Raeleigh woke up, Jepherson was already occupied with his work. She sat up, and the clothes that were covering her slid down. Picking it up, she swept her eyes over to Jepherson, who then said, "Did you sleep well?" Raeleigh scratched her head. "Was I asleep for a long time?" "Not very long, just a few hours." Raeleigh was speechless. To her, a few hours was indeed a long time. "We will have a meeting later, is that okay? Otherwise, I'll ask them to come over." Jepherson picked up the phone and began dialing, as he looked at her questioningly. Raeleigh immediately replied that there was no need for them to attend the meeting here since she was fine. Making the call, Jepherson instructed his subordinates, "Arrange for the meeting. As I've told you, prepare the proposal right away." After putting down the phone, he got up and began to change his clothes in front of Raeleigh. Raeleigh felt that her scent could be found on his body, but she w
After Seibert left, Raeleigh followed Jepherson to a restaurant that he had booked for dinner. After Jepherson signed the documents, he took Raeleigh for dinner. Raeleigh didn't like wasting food. Jepherson ordered just the right amount of food for the two of them. He ordered a couple of appetizers, which included some soup and salads, and a couple of main courses. Even if they were just eating, she felt uneasy, as long as she was with Jepherson. Raeleigh lowered her head to eat. Jepherson took some fish and put it on her plate. "You should eat more." Raeleigh continued looking down and remained silent. "I'll eat whatever you give me as long as I don't have to communicate with you. Everything will be fine once I get back," she thought to herself. These three months felt like an entire year to her. Raeleigh thought about it. Did the three-month contract start on that day? She should try remembering when she got back. After stuffing a
Jepherson looked angry. She turned to look at Jepherson in the car. It made no sense for him to be angry since it wasn't his fault. Raeleigh could feel the tension in the car as she leaned back in her seat. She looked outside the car window before shifting her gaze to her finger. It was going to take them slightly longer than usual to reach the hospital as the roads were a little slippery due to the snow. Raeleigh was toying with the ring on her finger when it inadvertently came off. Raeleigh lowered her head and looked at her fingers strangely. Then, she looked over at Jepherson and said, "The ring came off. I've saved you the hassle of going to the hospital." Jepherson was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked over at Raeleigh coldly. That was the first time she had seen him like this. She didn't know why he was so angry. She felt that it wasn't a big deal. It seemed like Jepherson was very angry and he couldn't hold back his anger. Jepherson reached out for t
Raeleigh followed Jepherson into the hotel and straight into the presidential suite. Upon entering, he pressed Raeleigh against the door. Raeleigh did not resist, but she felt a little embarrassed as it was broad daylight. By that time, Jepherson had already taken off his clothes. It was as if every minute counted. Raeleigh pursed her lips and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He immediately gathered her in his arms. Raeleigh felt as if years had gone by as she lay in bed. When she thought that she finally had a chance to rest, she was awakened by Jepherson. They even skipped dinner. It was already dark outside. Raeleigh lay on the bed. Every bone in her body was aching. Jepherson lay on his side, exhausted. The entire room reeked of s*x. Raeleigh shifted slightly in bed and Jepherson immediately reached out to grab her wrist, pulling her closer to him. Jepherson rested his head on Raeleigh's shoulder and placed his hand on her leg,
Jepherson received a string of unknown phone calls en route to the hospital. After it rang a few times, he had no choice but to answer the call. He held Raeleigh's hand as he answered the call. "......." Jepherson didn't say anything. Then, he heard a familiar voice on the other end of the line. "Jepherson...it's me..." It was Stella's voice. Jepherson's fingers twitched a little as he kept his eyes on Raeleigh. Raeleigh could also hear Stella's voice. She wanted to pull her hand away, but Jepherson tightened his grip on her hand before she could. In the end, she was forced to stay by his side. "Stella, what's the matter?" Jepherson's voice was calm and indifferent. He forcibly held Raeleigh in his arms. "I want to leave this place. I'm suffering in this place. Jepherson, can you please come and fetch me?" Stella finally said after a long pause. Jepherson thought for a moment before saying, "Stella, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm very b
Jepherson came out from the ward and realised that Raeleigh was following him. He turned around and pinched her chin. She looked at him, lost in her own thoughts. "You're looking very thoughtful. What are you thinking about?" "I'm just thinking about what kind of person you are and whether everything that has happened, including Santiago's injury is as what you expected. I've always felt that you are an unpredictable person. Everything seems to be under your control and your goal is to be on top on the world, with many people who are willing to die for you, thus establishing your dominance." Raeleigh said thoughtfully. Jepherson smiled slightly, "If that's the case, it means that you're the only person who is capable of reading my thoughts. You deserve to be my woman. Shouldn't you be happy?" Raeleigh pulled a long face. "I'm just speaking the truth." Jepherson smiled. "So am I." Raeleigh felt a little unsatisfied when Jepherson retorted. She decided
Jepherson spent the next few days resting in bed. He only got out of bed after he looked better. Raeleigh took care of him and gave him some supplements. She did it discreetly as she didn't want anyone to find out. Raeleigh felt it would be very embarrassing if anyone found out about Jepherson's condition. She did not want people to think he was impotent at such a young age. Raeleigh sat beside Jepherson as he finished his bowl of soup. "Are you feeling better?" Jepherson looked up at Raeleigh. "Not really." Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Didn't Xanthus say that you would feel better after a couple days rest? Didn't he say that you were just fatigued?" "Your brother specialises in orthopaedics. Maybe he can't treat my condition?" Jepherson answered in a serious tone. Raeleigh's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and stopped talking. Raeleigh observed Jepherson. His complexion had improved a lot. It was much better than the other day. How could
Raeleigh and Jepherson sat in the restaurant. Neither of them said anything. Raeleigh was troubled. She knew it would be very difficult to cure this disease if Jepherson did not follow the doctor's treatment plan. But she wasn't at ease here. However, if they were to seek treatment at a different place, she was afraid that word would get out. Jepherson picked up his glass of water and took a sip. "Raeleigh..." "I'm not going to leave you." Raeleigh immediately cut him off. Jepherson looked up at Raeleigh. "I will be a burden to you." "I'm not afraid of it. It's not the first time anyway. If you say these things, you are hurting me." Tears welled up in Raeleigh's eyes. This was the most ridiculous thing that she had ever encountered in her life. Jepherson stared at Raeleigh. "It's not too late for you to leave." Raeleigh pulled a long face. "I'm not going to leave you." "..." Both of them were silent. Jepherson looked out of the glass wind
