Raeleigh was not sure whether Flynt would keep his words, but she was feeling extremely tired. She hiked a long way today. Even a normal person would feel tired after an entire day of hiking. Not long after, Raeleigh fell asleep. Flynt sat up in bed for a while. He then looked over at Raeleigh before he lay back down on the bed. When Raeleigh woke up the next morning, she realised that Flynt was already awake. Raeleigh looked out the window and saw Flynt talking to someone. At this time, Flynt happened to turn around and saw her through the window. He quickly ended his conversation and returned to the room. "Hey, you're up!" Flynt said when he entered the room. Raeleigh asked, "Why are you up so early?" "A year's plan starts with spring. A day s plan starts in the morning. You should know that the early bird catches the worm." "Your efforts will be rewarded." Raeleigh replied. Flynt smiled and said, "It would be great if we keep doing th
Raeleigh was brought back to the town in a car. Flynt sat beside her, pretending to be a gentleman, however, even a fool could tell what was going on. Flynt did so many things just to test whether Raeleigh had actually lost her memory. Raeleigh remained silent. Flynt said, "So, you've been lying to me all these while?" Raeleigh did not say anything. Since she was caught, then she did not feel the need to explain herself. "Raeleigh, I like you." Flynt looked at Raeleigh. Raeleigh was amused. "No, you don't. You're just not used to seeing Jepherson being so high and mighty. Do you think that by taking me away, he would feel frustrated?" Flynt sneered, "You've never changed. You should be flattered that I took a liking to you. How much do you think you're worth? You've been with so many guys, except for me." Raeleigh looked at Flynt, "Except for you." "So it's my turn to try." Flynt got up and pushed Raeleigh over. She lay on her back
Lenold was stunned for a moment, then turned around and glanced at the person. "He's a veteran, so I invited him on this mission. He doesn't really like to talk." Jepherson took a step forward. Lenold stopped and said, "I admire you a lot, but please do not make things difficult for me. He's short tempered. If anything happens, I do not know how to explain myself." Only then did Jepherson sit back down. He looked over at Lenold and told him, "Let's start searching for Flynt and Raeleigh." "Alright, you're the boss." Lenold looked at his subordinate, who were all standing and said, "Someone please inform the national security bureau of Esterlia, tell them that we need to enter the country to arrest a criminal and that this mission is highly confidential." "Yes, sir." One of Lenold's subordinates immediately carried out the task. The helicopter was now flying in Esterlia's airspace. Lenold then informed Jepherson about the potential dangers of en
Raeleigh wasn't sure how far she had hiked, but she knew she was safe because she hadn't seen any wild animals, not even a rabbit. Raeleigh looked around, feeling exhausted. So, she decided to walk towards a tree. She stood under the tree and looked up. Although it wasn't that big, at least there was a sturdy branch she could sit on. Even if there were wolves and bears in this forest, those animals could not climb a tree. So, she could sleep without worry. However, the thing was, she had no idea how she was going to get up there because she did not know how to climb a tree. After examining the tree, Raeleigh began climbing. However, she cut her hands even before she started climbing. In the end, she still managed to climb up onto the tree, realizing that there were a lot of cuts all over her body. It took her a lot of effort to climb the tree, but now, she had no idea how she was going to get down. If there were wild animals in the woods, it would be too l
Raeleigh froze. Jepherson's eyes sparkled in the dark. He knew each and every one of Raeleigh's expression. Raeleigh asked, "Are you lying to me?" "Raeleigh, was there a misunderstanding back then? Is the baby..." "No. I was indeed pregnant with Austin's baby, but..." "Why are you lying to me?" Jepherson asked as he stared at Raeleigh, to which she replied, "It doesn't make a difference now, does it? I am now Austin's wife. He has our kid and I have no idea where he is. Our kid fell ill when he was young and Austin took him away. I don't even know how he's doing right now. I'm sure that Austin will know whether the kid is yours. If the kid is yours, why would he take him away?" "Why are you still lying to me?" "I'm not! I can't do anything if you choose not to believe me!" "Ok, fine. Since you're not lying, then I want you to bring me to see the kid. I want you to prove to me that the kid is Austin's. If it's really his, then I don'
"Jepherson, are you really not going to come out?" Raeleigh stood outside and shouted at him. Jepherson started removing some items from his gear and threw a bomb on the ground. When Raeleigh saw the bomb, she asked, "Are you crazy?" Jepherson kicked the bomb into the fire. Raeleigh watched anxiously as the bomb was kicked into the fire. "Jepherson, what the hell are you doing?" "You can go." Jepherson walked towards the bomb. Raeleigh's heart almost jumped out of her chest. "Fine! It's a boy!" Raeleigh shouted. Jepherson turned around and faced Raeleigh, "You're not lying?" "No, I'm not!" Raeleigh turned around and walked forward. She quietly counted in her head. When she counted to six, a loud explosion suddenly occurred behind her. Raeleigh felt the force of the explosion pushed her forward, but she did not fall down. Then, she turned around and saw that there was nothing but ruins behind her. Raeleigh ran back and stopped
Jepherson bent down and entered the car. He held Raeleigh's face and kissed her. "Let's go home." At this time, Stuart was already in the car. The driver then started the car and drove off. The rest of the people followed suit. In the car, Stuart asked, "What about Flynt?" Jepherson asked, "You haven't found him?" "No, not yet." Stuart found it strange and wondered why Flynt couldn't be found? Jepherson glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "Set the entire village on fire. Make sure there are no casualties. Since the border is on fire, people will not find it suspicious. Flynt planted a large number of poppies near the border, it seems like he is scheming against us. We can't just let it go." Stuart asked, "Do you think Flynt's still in the village?" "You don't know him well enough. He must have fled while we were in the forest." After saying that, he leaned against Raeleigh. Just as Raeleigh was about to say something, she could not h
Jepherson took a seat outside the ward and said, "I have something to discuss with Jacky and Zorion. Why don't the two of you head home first?" Deanna nodded, then stood up and extended her hand out to Rossie, "Come on, let's go home first." Rossie also stood up and followed Deanna to the elevator. She was completely familiar with the way. In Rossie's eyes, those were men's issues and there was no need for them to be involved. This point was clear and unanimous. Most importantly, they did not want to be involved because they had no opinion. Deanna and Rossie entered the elevator, followed by two men. Once Deanna and Rossie were out of earshot, Jepherson told Jacky and Zorion that he found out that Flynt was planting poppies in Esterlia. Jacky stood opposite. He seemed very calm, but he was surprised when he heard Jepherson's word. He never thought that Flynt had to guts to do such thing. If Flynt was indeed growing poppies and smuggling them into the
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
