It had been two weeks since Jepherson was admitted into the hospital and he was finally able to be discharged. Raeleigh asked him whether he needed to do another thorough examination before he left. "Why? Do I look like I'm still sick?" Jepherson asked while walking. Raeleigh briefly glanced at him and realized that he looked much better compared to a couple days earlier. Since he said he was fine, Raeleigh believed him. When they got into the car, Jepherson asked about the company's affairs. Santiago had been the one holding down the fort the past few days. "Everything is as it should be. I've promoted your cars according to the marketing plan. It's just after the new year, so the response is considered quite good, but Raeleigh's car is doing slightly better." Santiago had been busy promoting the company's new cars in the past few days. He knew the market better than Raeleigh and Jepherson. Jepherson took a look at Raeleigh. "I'm not surprised that
Jepherson and Santiago arrived at the airport the same time as Raeleigh and Xanthus. However, Xanthus immediately made a beeline for the ticket counter while Jepherson sat with Raeleigh. Jepherson held Raeleigh's hand without saying a word. Raeleigh did not know what to do. She had no idea how to handle his temper. Raeleigh tried to smooth things over with Jepherson. She told him that just because she was leaving, it didn't mean that they were going to be separated forever. He was more than welcome to visit her. She also promised to come back and visit once she had the time. However, judging by the look on Jepherson's face, it seemed that he was not willing to accept it. Raeleigh gently tugged Jepherson's hand. "Come with me. I have something to tell you. Santiago, can you keep an eye on Xanthus for me?" "Alright." Santiago did as he was told. He found a seat next to Xanthus. Once Raeleigh was sure that Santiago was with Xanthus, she led Jepherson to
Raeleigh listened to Xanthus and stayed in Waverly Village. That afternoon, Raeleigh followed Jepherson to Jack Town Hotel. Jacky immediately arranged a room for her as soon as she arrived at the hotel. However, Xanthus didn't like the houses in the back of Waverly Village, so he decided to go house hunting that day. Raeleigh also had no idea what Xanthus wanted. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to stay with Jacky and the rest, so that was why he went to look for houses. In the afternoon, Raeleigh went house hunting with Xanthus. After looking around the entire village, they finally stumbled upon a house with a for sale sign in the front. When Xanthus saw the sign, he immediately walked towards it. Raeleigh followed him into the house and asked him why he didn't want to rent it instead of buying it since they were only here for a few days. Xanthus replied, "Why not? It's a good investment anyway. I'll put our house in Capital City on the market and mo
"If you want the best for Raeleigh, then you should let her figure out who she loves. Just like Raeleigh and I. If Raeleigh loves me, I'm sure my brother would respect her decision and not come between us. You didn't even give her a chance to decide. Raeleigh has great respect for you, but instead of allowing her to make her own decisions, you make use of this and take control of her life. Let me warn you. If you dare to cause trouble, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life." After saying that, Santiago lied down on the bed and went to sleep. Xanthus watched Santiago for a while before he closed his eyes. It was already ten o'clock, but Xanthus had not returned to his room. On the other hand, Raeleigh stood up and intended to look for Xanthus. However, as soon as she stepped outside the door, she saw Jepherson walking towards her room with a glass of water in his hand. Jepherson handed the glass of water to Raeleigh and followed her into
When Raeleigh heard that her car was well received in the market, she was naturally in a good mood. Thus, she decided to prepare dinner for everyone the next day. Just as they began eating, one of Jacky's men entered and whispered a few words into Jacky's ear. Jacky then looked at Jepherson and said, "There's someone looking for you." "Wait, someone's looking for me?" Jepherson, who was currently peeling a prawn for Raeleigh, asked in surprise when he heard Jacky's words. Raeleigh took the prawn from Jepherson and took a bite. Then, Jepherson wiped his hand with a piece of tissue, looking in the direction of the door. "They came all the way here?" "Yes, it's up to you whether you want to meet the person. My men just came to inform me." Jacky did not like meddling in others' business. However, since Jepherson was his guest, he had to inform him as a courtesy. Jepherson briefly glanced over at Raeleigh and said, "I'll go out and have a look." Wit
Raeleigh was halfway through her bowl of soup when she heard Stella say, "A bowl of soup is perfect for warming up our bodies, especially when it's freezing outside. " Raeleigh did not look up and merely continued drinking her soup. She pretended as if she did not hear anything. After finishing her soup, she looked over at Santiago and asked, "Is there any more soup?" Everyone in the room was wondering whether she was asking it for herself or for Stella. In the end... When Santiago brought her another bowl of soup, she picked up her spoon and started drinking it. It made Santiago happy to find that she was feisty. Xanthus' lips curved upward in the slightest hint of a smile as he was eager to see what Raeleigh would do. He doubted that Jepherson would dare to do anything with him around. Stella actually wanted some soup, but no one gave her any. Jepherson got up and went to get a bowl for her, only to realize that there was none lef
Raeleigh woke up the next morning and looked around the walled house for something they could eat for breakfast. Unfortunately, she could not find any as they had devoured all the food last night. If they did not leave soon, they would starve to death. Thus, the four of them left the house in search of food. The journey back took about two hours. By the time they finally arrived on the main street, Raeleigh could barely walk anymore. So, they decided to stop by a restaurant to have breakfast. They were not in a rush, so they took their time to eat. By the time they returned, it was already ten o'clock. When they arrived, they saw a group of people standing at the door along with several paramedics. Raeleigh walked in and saw Jepherson sitting inside with Stella. Stella was gripping Jepherson's hand as she sat up in bed while vomiting. When Jepherson raised his head and saw them, Raeleigh asked, "What happened?" Jepherson did not answer, and Stella bu
Jepherson refused to look back, and Stella let out a scornful laugh, "Why did I fall in love with someone like you?" "That was a mistake from the start. Love needs to be mutual," Jepherson replied. "You may not love me, but you have no reason to stop me from loving you. Compared to her love for you, mine is greater, stronger, and more persistent. Nothing can cause it to waver. It's as sturdy as a rock." Hearing that, Jepherson turned to look at Stella with some amusement, "Are you sure you love me?" "A hundred percent." Stella had placed everything on the line, and there was no way she would back down. However, Jepherson did not respond and only gave her a meaningful look. They looked at each other. Finally, Stella asked, "Don't you believe me?" He turned around, answering lightly, "I don't have the right to ask for the truth from someone I had never thought of loving. "Raeleigh is hesitant with her love because she had too many concerns, but y
