Chapter 843 Once And For All
Jepherson''s temperature dropped, but Raeleigh''s went up. Raeleigh leaned against the wall and stared
at Jepherson, who had recovered a little. His shirt was wet through the front and back of it. Although he
was wearing a coat on top of his shirt, outside, her body had been stuck close to his and her hand had
been holding onto the back of his shirt, so she knew very clearly.
Jepherson slowly detached himself and pulled her hands off his back. Then, using the corner of his
previously discarded outer coat, he wiped her hands clean.
Jepherson took off shirt and coat, and slung it over his shoulders. The wind blew past but there was no
unpleasant smell of sweat. Instead, there was a faint fragrance of fresh flowers.
Raeleigh''s big and watery eyesnded on Jepherson''s white shirt. The design looked simple enough
but every part of the shirt was hand-stitched, which hinted at the expensive price tag of the shirt. This
was probably why under wet or even sweaty conditions, a light fragrance could be smelled, instead of
the unpleasant odour of sweat.
Seeing her staring at him, Jepherson pulled her to him and blew into her eyes. "What are you looking
at?"
The low and deep voice was extremely pleasant to her ears, especially on such a silent night.
But Raeleigh didn''t feel that way. She just wanted to go back as soon as possible. However, he did not
say goodbye and take his leave. Instead, he kept walking forward, with one hand holding onto hers,
while the other held onto the clothes over his shoulder.
"You have a grandmother?" Jepherson asked while walking, but Raeleigh didn''t answer. She was
wondering why Jepherson had asked such a question, so she raised her head to look at Jepherson.
Jepherson didn''t have much of a reaction. He simply smiled faintly at her and asked, "How is your
grandmother''s health?"
Raeleigh didn''t answer. She couldn''t figure out why Jepherson would ask these questions.
Raeleigh was asked something else instead when she didn''t answer Jepherson''s question, "Has
Quirinae back recently? Did she bully you again?"
Raeleigh did not answer. She didn''t think there was a need to do so.
"Why don''t you like to talk when you are with me?" Jepherson asked as he nced at Raeleigh in
amusement. Raeleigh continued to keep mum. "You can ask me anything but I will not reply, so say

whatever you want." This had always been Raeleigh''s character. She couldn''t be bothered by anything
other people said.
After walking around for a while, Jepherson sent Raeleigh back. The moment Jepherson loosened his
grip on her hand, she immediately left to go back. As a result, as soon as she left, she was pulled back
by Jepherson again, and before waiting for her to respond, he kissed her. That time, she did not avoid it
and warmth crept into his eyes. He was satisfied with her response. After they separated, Jepherson
added, "You really are like a piece of rock. A stinky, hard one."
Raeleigh stared at Jepherson. "Actually, you''re that rock."
With a smile on his face, he asked, "It''s not a rock if it doesn''t heat up?"
Raeleigh did not speak and simply pulled her hand back. Jepherson did not move. "Go in. I''ll watch you
go in. It''s time for me to go back. It''ste and my family will be looking for me."
Although Jepherson was a man, he had never stayed out all night. He had never stayed overnight in
school. He wasn''t used to it. Even if he woke up Tristany, he wouldn''t go earlier to school, and even
afterte night revisions, he would drive back home.
Raeleigh turned around and walked into the dormitory building without looking back. Jefferson watched
her enter the dorm. Then, he put on his coat, buttoned up and walked towards his car.
Raeleigh watched him leave from inside and only let out a breath of relief after.
It was already three in the morning when Raeleigh returned to the dormitory. When she entered, she
checked on Scarlette and seeing that she was deep in slumber, she closed the door, went to her bed,
took off her shoes and clothes, andy down.
The full moon outside the window was shining its light through the window. She looked up quietly at the
moon and without realizing it, she fell asleep. Having spent most of the night with Jepherson, she did
not rest well and when she awoke the next morning, she had dull aches all over her body, almost as if
they had actually done it.
Although she had sleptte, she got up very Tristany. Raeleigh was used to getting up Tristany every
day. Unless there was something special that made her stay upte, only then would she get upte.
This was because most of the time when that happened, she would only be going to sleep in the
morning, so she couldn''t possibly be waking up shortly after.
When she woke up, Scarlette was in the midst of washing up. When she entered the room, and found
that Raeleigh was awake, she looked at her strangely but did not ask her anything.
"Why don''t you sleep a little longer? This morning''s sses are pretty pointless," Scarlette said,
walking in as she wiped her face. "Since I''vee to study, I must be diligent," replied Raeleigh.
"That''s true."
Raeleigh took her toiletries and went outside to wash up. Then, she went to the cafeteria with Scarlette
to have breakfast before ss.
As soon as they sat down, they were surrounded by several senior male students.
Several male students sat beside Raeleigh and Scarlette. Scarlette had a nice head of hair at which
one of the boys lifted it up with his hands and pulled at it. Scarlette''s anger rose immediately and she
pushed hard against him, to which the boy responded by grabbing hold of her hand. Scarlette reacted
by pping him in the face, saying, "Shame on you."
The boy had not expected to be pped. Raeleigh too had not thought that Scarlette would have
reacted by pping a person so quickly. In fact, she had been so fast that Raeleigh had not even
registered it properly, and her eyes were still blurry from the speed.
"You dare fight back?" When the boy had been pped, the others had also stood up. However, one of
the boys in the gang had not stood up. He was the one who had sat with the back of his chair facing
forward from the start. Right then, he smacked his hands against the back of the chair, with his face
looking forward. He was staring calmly at Raeleigh, his eyes protruding as he ogled her chest.
The rest of them did not speak. It was this person who said, "Come and have dinner with me tonight,
and today''s matter will be considered resolved. Or else, we will meet outside school tomorrow."
"F*ck..." Sometimes, Scarlette would swear but it was all in the heat of the moment.
Raeleigh grabbed her hand and said, "Don''t speak."
Scarlette shut up and Raeleigh said, "What about right now?"
"Cool. You can have your meal now. I''ll wait for you at the school gate tonight." Then, he stood up and
smiled at Raeleigh with a fleshy face.
Raeleigh did not speak. She dragged Scarlette away and had their breakfast. After eating, she left the
cafeteria, with no regard for the onlookers pointing fingers and making snidements.
"Raeleigh, I don''t mean to me you, but you are too honest. Why did you agree?" There were too
many things that Scarlette didn''t understand. The most confusing thing was, how could''ve the young
master taken a fancy towards Raeleigh, who was a pushover?
"That guy just now is not a good person. I heard that his family is very rich and he has an uncle who is
a judge. We can''t afford to offend him." Raeleigh had some concerns. She didn''t know whether this
matter had anything to do with Quirina.
"Then, what do you mean? Are you really going to eat with that pig head? Don''t you know that he
wished to have you sleep with him and not really have a ''meal'' with you?" Scarlette was just
reminding Raeleigh and looking out for her. Raeleigh stared at her feet and answered, "I know, so even
if nothing happens tonight, I have to find a way to solve this problem once and for all. Otherwise, he will
Scarlette did not speak. Instead, she took a bite of chocte and gave Raeleigh a piece. Raeleigh took
it and put it in her mouth. She sucked on it instead of chewing it. She had just finished her breakfast
and was not in the habit of snacking, but she would not reject snacks either, and simply ate less of it.
Raeleigh went with Scarlette to ss. On the way there, Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the bracelet on her
wrist. Perhaps, only by making use of it would she be able to solve this problem once and for all.
