"Why aren't you saying anything?" Raeleigh replied in amusement, "I don't know what to say." "You must have something to say." "Don't be so impulsive in the future. You're too unruly." Scarlette fixed her eyes on Raeleigh. "Seriously, that's your reaction?" "What else can I do?" Raeleigh picked up a book next to her hand, opened it and looked at the exercises inside. She was not interested in anything, not even in the exercises. Finally, the day had quietened down. Raeleigh planned to go home to see her grandmother over the weekend, so Raeleigh began to prepare for it on Friday afternoon. "Raeleigh, why do you need to pack up your things?" Scarlette asked. She did not know why, since she had no class on Friday afternoon. So, she went back to her bedroom, intending to sit down for a good gaming session with Raeleigh, only to find her packing up as if she was ready to run away. Raeleigh bowed her head and continued to pack her belongings. "I need
"Grandma, I know that and I will deal with the school affairs accordingly. Don't worry about me." Raeleigh didn't want her Grandma to worry too much, but she still told her about the people who bullied her in class. The old lady was a reasonable woman and she understood the struggles. Her granddaughter was very dignified and beautiful, and was also outstanding in her studies. Not to mention in such an expensive school, even if it was an ordinary school, there would be a lot of bullies who picked on poor people. "But society is like this. There are too many frauds and scammers out there. If you don't learn to protect yourself and get along well with this society, then you can't establish a foothold in this society." The old lady sighed, because she did not have the ability to protect her granddaughter. Raeleigh held her grandmother's arm and smiled without saying anything. The old lady didn't forget Scarlette. She said, "Scarlette doesn't look like an ordin
"Raeleigh, you should keep this extra money and spend it on yourself. You shouldn't spend it all on me. I don't even like these things," the old lady said. In actuality, it was not that she didn't like it, but that she didn't want the money to be wasted on her. To put it bluntly, even if she had the best clothes to wear then or the best things to use, she didn't have it in her youth when she could've really used and enjoyed it. So, what was the point of having it, now that she was already so old. "It was quite cheap, so I bought it. Grandma, we're going back today. Call me if you need anything." Raeleigh reminded her again and again, and so did the old lady. After walking for a while with Scarlette, they saw a cab and was about to hail it to get back to the university. "Let's take a bus," Scarlette said as she pulled Raeleigh towards the bus station instead. Scarlette had spotted a bus card in Raeleigh's bag and inferred that Raeleigh normally couldn't bear to spend e
The car pulled away and a person appeared and stood in front of Raeleigh. She said politely, "Miss Anson, if you please." Raeleigh felt a little strange, but she had gotten out of the car anyway and went outside. When she went into the airport, Raeleigh only saw Scarlette and two other people. She did not see Jepherson. Scarlette rushed to Raeleigh and stood in front of her asking, "What's going on?" "You don't have to worry. We'll be fine." Raeleigh could only say so then. She had no idea what exactly Jepherson planned to do. Soon, someone brought over plane tickets for Raeleigh and Scarlette. They were assigned to sit next to each other. Raeleigh and Scarlette were escorted to the plane, and then the other people left, one after another. Halfway through, someone invited Scarlette to another seat. Shortly after, Jepherson came from the first class cabin and sat beside Raeleigh. Raeleigh was reading the book. She raised her head to have a look.
"Aren't there two rooms?" Raeleigh asked him, standing by the bed, when she saw that Jepherson had no intention of leaving at all. "The weather seems downcast. The orphanage is located in a cold, damp place with thick trees surrounding it. It may be cold when we sleep at night. I'm not used to it," Jepherson said. He then sat on the bed. He took off his shoes and lay on the bed without taking off his clothes. Raeleigh didn't understand. Jepherson's response didn't answer her question. She said there were two rooms. He said that he couldn't sleep well, and he would feel cold at night. "If you're really cold, then you can cover yourself with more blankets. It's still summer, so it's not going to be all that cold." "There are rats here," Jepherson added. "I'm not afraid of rats." "I'm scared!" Jepherson looked at Raeleigh. He spoke carelessly. It didn't sound like he was afraid, but his eyes were focused and serious. Raeleigh was speechless for a
When Raeleigh got out of the car, Jepherson immediately held her in his arms. He undid his coat that he had taken off and wrapped Raeleigh in his arms. She raised her head and looked at him, but Jepherson could not be bothered. He held Raeleigh in his arms and walked into the hotel. Except for her feet, Raeleigh was not wet at all when they walked into the hotel. On the contrary, it was Jepherson himself, whose shoulders were totally covered in rain water. The rest of his body too was drenched. "Master Richards, don't catch a cold. Let's go to the room first." Stuart couldn't afford it if Jepherson were to fall ill. Stuart rushed Jepherson to the hotel room. Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms and walked to the door of the elevator. Stuart had already arranged for someone to come over. He had already obtained the room card. At the door of the elevator, someone was waiting for Jepherson. When he reached the door, Stuart quickly took the room card and followed him into the el
"Jerry, where have you been? Deanna and Zorion are here." Marissa knew that Jepherson had left the house. She knew it was probably for that matter again. The thing is, after so many years, if it still existed, then he would've and should've found it. He shouldn't still have to look for it then. However, Jepherson was unwilling to give up and Marissa could not bear to burst his bubble, so she did not comment on it. "I'm out. I went to the orphanage. Grandma, I won't be able to make it back today. It's pouring here and there's a thunderstorm outside now. The plane can't take off, so I can only stay at a hotel for now." "Since you're not gonna be able to make it back, why don't you say a few words to Deanna?" Marissa then handed the phone to Deanna, who was sitting on the couch, with a little cushion wrapped in her arms. "Jepherson, were you looking for your elder sister again?" Deanna had only heard Marissa say that Jepherson had always been looking for someone. S
"Don't you know?" Jepherson lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh's chin. Raeleigh twisted her chin twice. Jepherson raised his head and said, "I'll give you three seconds to call me 'hubby'. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences." "You are a bottom feeder." Raeleigh despised men who bullied women. "Well, I'll do you one better and go lower that that." After saying that, he suddenly blocked her mouth with his. He forced the tip of his tongue into Raeleigh's mouth and stirred it inside her mouth. He held her hand with one hand and touched her lower body with the other. He intended to unfasten her pants. Raeleigh shook her head with her eyes wide open... "Jepherson... don't..." Jepherson suddenly stopped. Raeleigh stared at him breathlessly. "Hubby." Jepherson just wanted to scare Raeleigh. He didn't expect Raeleigh to surrender so soon. He was a little excited at the moment. He felt a little distressed. He regretted that he had played too much.
