After strolling for a while more, Raeleigh still lost her way in the end. Only then did Xanthus speak up, "As happens to every first, failure." Raeleigh threw a side glance at Xanthus. "You don't like Jepherson at all?" "What's more important is that you like him." Although Xanthus minded, love was a complex subject; he'd rather trust Raeleigh knew what she wanted. Raeleigh looked around and thought getting lost may not have been a bad thing. Perhaps they could find another way out. She found a place to sit down, but Xanthus pulled her up and said, "It's too cold. Let's go back." She then looked at him in bafflement and asked, "Even I'm lost. How would you know the way back?" Amused, he replied, "There's no way I'd let my sister get lost, would I? I'd have to take you out somehow." With that, she followed Xanthus in silence, thinking the whole journey if her decision had hurt him. However, she kept silent the entire time, not knowing what to sa
Marissa's action got everyone directing their gaze at her. However, she only looked at Raeleigh and Xanthus and said, "The Richards family is noble; we won't accept a wh*re into our family. Now bring your friend and get lost." "Mom, what are you doing?" Before Jepherson could say anything, Hansen refuted as she had crossed the line. Hadn't his mother figured it all out yet? It was not Raeleigh that insisted on marrying into their family, but Jepherson insisted on marrying her. She threw a look at her son with a tense face and said, "Our family is highly reputable; not just about any woman can marry into our family." "I'm sure Jerry's clear what kind of person Raeleigh is; she doesn't need you telling who she is and isn't. After all, you're not the one kissing Raeleigh; how would you know whether she's good or bad?" Hansen's words got Raeleigh stumped. What future father-in-law would put things that way? She then snuck a peek at Jenna, who didn'
"I have always wanted to have a good chat with Raeleigh but never had the chance to. Now that she's here in Green Jade Garden and she still has many things to learn, I should tell her as her mother-in-law. What's more, what happened earlier was unpleasant; I'm worried she'll feel uneasy, so I want to comfort her." Jenna found a big excuse for herself. On the other hand, Hansen frowned deeply. "If you're going to comfort Raeleigh. Who's going to comfort me?" Raeleigh was rendered speechless then. She was astonished that there was such a person alive; his possessiveness sure was intense. "Jerry will. Right, Jerry?" Jenna stood up and took Raeleigh away regardless of Hansen's displeasure. Hansen took a step forward with a gloomy expression on his face. Jepherson was visibly upset too, looking at his father as he said, "It's your fault that your wife doesn't listen to you." Hansen glared daggers at him in turn. "Are you asking for a beating?" With
Jenna couldn't wrap her head around why Hansen was so angry at her when they were merely separated for half a night. How petty of him. However upset he was, she ignored him and went to look for Raeleigh herself instead, knowing that he would not be so kind as to tell her where she was. Only when she asked the servants did she learn Raeleigh and Jepherson were making fish soup in the kitchen. With that, she turned and walked toward her husband, saying, "Look how well our son respects you. He knows that you like fish soup, so he made more for you today." However, he didn't say anything. The fact that she left him alone by sleeping with Raeleigh the night before still rankled him, and he couldn't forgive her for the time being. On the other hand, Jenna did not take it to heart but walked away instead, saying, "I need to talk to you about something. Let's go home." Her room was not far from her son's; it was only about a three-minute walk as all the rooms in Green J
"Xanthus, I must have worried you with my affairs lately." Raeleigh found a place to stop and chat with Xanthus. "It's fine. You're my sister; it's only natural for me to do anything for you. No need for all this." Raeleigh pursed her lips and said, "But even so, I've only been adding to your troubles, never once putting you at ease." "What's the difference? Some things are inevitable; it's better than not being able to find you. Am I supposed to complain about a little hardship after going through fire and water to search for my little sister?" "Having a younger sister is just like having a child who dislikes school, worrying about whether they had their meals or going to school on time, then later, worrying about their future partners and children." "Even though we are worried, it is a process in life we have to go through. I would prefer to be worried about you than not finding you. Compared to Jepherson, I am much luckier." Raeleigh was so moved
Jenna said nothing; Hansen kept quiet too. Since Marissa refused to listen, he simply led Jenna out of her room. Marissa was so furious that her whole body was trembling as she scolded Jenna. Hansen did not like Marissa insulting his wife, so he stopped in his tracks, but Jenna immediately tugged him, telling him to let it go. However, Marissa's anger only grew. If it weren't for Jenna, none of it all would've happened. "No need to shed crocodile tears. I'm not dead yet; drop the act." Marissa roared at Jenna like a madman, and it pained Hansen to see his mother behave so. "It breaks my heart to call you my mother." With that, Hansen left with Jenna with a grim face. Jenna tried hard to pull him back, but she couldn't stop him at all. After leaving Ink Garden, Jenna tried to talk some sense into Hansen. However, Hansen's temper only grew with age. Ignoring her, he booked their flight to Everland and went straight. Jenna sighed, "Do you have to
Trevor moved to the side a little and ordered Marissa to lie down next to him. She took off her coat and did so, crying until she fell asleep while and the room quieted down. He patted her, and just like that, the old couple stayed in the hospital. Jepherson found out Marissa had left to keep Trevor company in the hospital when he received a call from home. Jenna and Hansen had already left, and Raeleigh was currently at the airport, so he packed his luggage and went with her to Everland. It was agreed that Xanthus was supposed to go with her, but he still had an operation. So, in the end, he asked her to leave before him, promising he would be there after he was done. She thought nothing of it and proceeded to book a ticket for him. Only Jepherson and Raeleigh were at the airport then. She overheard the call and found it odd. "Madam Marissa has gone back?" Jepherson put his phone away and cupped her cheek one hand as he looked at her. "Even if grand
As Jepherson said, he was there for his parents. Jenna was a little puzzled. "We're doing fine; why would you look for us?" Jepherson said, "Dad had a fight with Grandma and took you away while Grandma went to Grandpa about this, and he was maddened to sickness." Raeleigh had to hand it to him; he didn't even blink when he was lying. Jenna turned to look at Hansen. "What should we do?" Rayan came downstairs. "Are you for real?" Hansen sneered, "What does it have to do with you?" "Nothing." As Rayan came down, he sized Raeleigh up inadvertently. "Raeleigh, this is Mr. Whalen, Zorion and Deanna's father." Jenna pulled Raeleigh over to introduce her, "Rayan, this is Raeleigh, Jerry's girlfriend." "I know." No matter how good other people's girlfriends were, he would not show a hint of satisfaction. Rayan went to the other side of the sofa and sat down. Looking at Hansen, he asked, "So you came to me to avoid calamity?" "Are
