Raeleigh did not react at all, and she just stood there, stunned. Jepherson, on the other hand, had already let go of her hand and moved to put another pick in the ground in front of her. Then, he moved to the side and started stretching his arms whilst walking towards the ball. Stuart didn't dare to look. Besides, he felt that there wasn't a need to do so. Seeing Stuart leave, Raeleigh blushed intensely. Fortunately, there was no one around to witness it. It took a long time for Raeleigh to calm down. She even planned to throw the club on the ground and simply leave, but she stayed in the end. Looking at the ball in the distance, Raeleigh summoned up the courage to walk towards it. It never hurts to acquire another skill as one would never know when it could come in handy. Otherwise, even if she went back to the top floor, she could only stand there and wait aimlessly. Scarlette had a man in her room and she couldn't enter Jepherson's room without him.
Raeleigh came out of the golf course. It was four o'clock in the afternoon. She did not play much and so she did not sweat. On the contrary, Jepherson had perspired a lot, so he went upstairs to change his clothes. After taking a bath, he came out in simple and functional clothes. Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the TV, waiting for the next meal. Just then, Scarlette knocked on the door looking for Raeleigh. She went to open the door, checking that the person outside was indeed Raeleigh before letting her in. This was a habit of Raeleigh's. No matter where she was, at home or out, she would always check the door to see who was outside it before opening it to let them in. This was a habit she acquired when she was ten. Before then, she had lived her childhood in a carefree environment at the children's home. Ever since she had gone to stay with her grandmother, her life had changed. Her grandmother was always highly suspicious of people, so she would drill it in
Raeleigh turned to her other side and felt a softness under her hand, and her eyes instantly shot open. The couch was soft, sure, but it was absolutely not this temperature. However, when Raeleigh opened her eyes, she saw that she was not on the couch, but she was sleeping opposite Jepherson. Raeleigh suddenly got off the bed and looked down at Jepherson. Jepherson woke up slowly and looked at Raeleigh, whose face was shrouded with a look of shock. "I saw you sleeping and so I carried you up here. I didn't do anything you didn't want to do." After explaining it to her, Jepherson got up and went straight to the bathroom. Raeleigh had hugged him all night. He was a man, so it would be unusual if that did not elicit any response. When Raeleigh got down from the bed, Jepherson was already done washing up and had exited the bathroom. Raeleigh waited for a while and she then went into the bathroom. Raeleigh thought that Jerpherson was irritable, like
Raeleigh was still worried that she had not made it back to the university. She had already wasted three days of her term time. If this went on, then she would end up missing the whole week's classes. "I'm fine now. You can send me back to school." Raeleigh decided to make it clear. Jepherson looked at her and said, "I have the final say in this matter today. As your boyfriend, I have to wait for your emotions to stabilize, and then I will send you back. Otherwise, I will be worried." "But it's all over and I'm fine?" Raeleigh stood there, not far away from Jepherson. He raised his hand and pulled her wrist, intending to pull her onto his lap, but Raeleigh avoided his hand, so instead, he allowed Raeleigh simply to sit next to him. "It's already noon. Even if we go back, it'll already be evening. Do you really have to go back?" Jepherson had already spoken gently, but Raeleigh still wanted to go back. Although he was unwilling, Jepherson still sent Raeleig
Marissa held Deanna's small hand. "Stay for dinner. Isn't your school having an off day today?" "Zorion said he needs to go home later, so..." Deanna carefully glanced at Jepherson. Jepherson's attitude was the same as usual. He didn't make much of a fuss as he accompanied Marissa and the rest to the Ink Garden. Stuart asked the chauffeur to drive the car away and he then followed him. Jepherson helped Marissa to the door. The moment they entered, they saw the person sitting inside. Zorion was sitting on the couch, reading a book. When they heard someone approaching, they looked up at the door. When they entered the door, they saw Zorion standing up and greeted him politely. "Jepherson." "When did you arrive?" Jepherson asked. "This morning." Zorion smiled as if he were a close friend. Seeing Marissa coming over, he raised his hand to give her a hand. Marissa, of course, liked Zorion. She didn't have a granddaughter in this family. If she did, then s
Raeleigh looked at Quirina and smiled. She did not get angry but she said, "We are going to the cafeteria. Please get out of the way." "Get out of the way? You've got a lot of guts. I think you're asking for trouble! Get down on your knees!" Quirina suddenly said in a harsh voice. Raeleigh just looked at Quirina. In order to retain her place of study here, she couldn't fight with Quirina. Otherwise, she would've given Quirina a good beating. "Excuse me, who are you asking to kneel down before you? Do you know no shame? Your last incident of stealing and plagiarizing Raeleigh's work hasn't even been settled yet, yet today you dare come here to cause trouble. The one who should be kneeling down today is you." Scarlette couldn't be bothered about the consequences. She only knew that if a person had neither sense nor shame, then it should be beaten into them, be it physically or metaphorically. "Scarlette, I initially had no intention of bringing you into this, but
Scarlette was arrested for the assault and battery of a schoolmate and attempted evasion from arresting officers. Raeleigh too was arrested for the obstruction of justice. "If you both tell us what happened truthfully and admit to your crimes, then we can let you off easily on account of your student status, and not announce this matter to the public." The police officer opposite Raeleigh raised his hand and smacked the file he held in the other. Raeleigh looked back at him and replied, "We did not do anything. We don't even know Quirina Moore." Raeleigh insisted that she didn't know Quirina. The police officer was angry and paced around in the room. They had been interrogating her for an hour. No matter how much pressure they put on her, they couldn't find anything. Raeleigh just insisted that she didn't know Quirina Moore. So, the police couldn't do anything to Raeleigh. If she didn't know her, then how could she have fought her? Scarlette was even harder to d
"Are you hungry? I prepared some chicken soup for you. Have some. It'll help with the heat stroke." Scarlette adjusted the bed and brought a bowl of chicken soup she had lovingly made for Raeleigh. Raeleigh reached out her hand to take it, sipped it, and asked, "You know how to cook chicken soup?" "I am an orphan after all. What don't we orphans know?" Scarlette sat by her side and Raeleigh was momentarily stunned. She raised her head and looked at Scarlette. She did not speak but ate the chicken soup in her hand quietly. Raeleigh handed over the small bowl to Scarlette after she finished eating. Then, she took a look at the weather outside and said, "What day is it today?" "It's Thursday," Scarlette answered while putting the small bowl aside. Raeleigh looked at her quizzically. "Isn't it Wednesday." "Wednesday has passed. You've been sleeping for a day." Scarlette turned around and sat down, Raeleigh knew only then that she had been in hospital for a whole day
