Chapter 858 A Trip to the Orphanage
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 nned to do.
Soon, someone brought over ne tickets for Raeleigh and Scarlette. They were assigned to sit next
to each other. Raeleigh and Scarlette were escorted to the ne, and then the other people left, one
after another.
Halfway through, someone invited Scarlette to another seat. Shortly after, Jepherson came from the
first ss cabin and sat beside Raeleigh.
Raeleigh was reading the book. She raised her head to have a look. She was not surprised to see
Jepherson sitting beside her. If it were someone else, then she would have been surprised.
Raeleigh had been looking at the book for quite some time then, but she was still absorbed in it.
Jepherson did not disturb her. Instead, he was focused more on Raeleigh''s expression.
After a short break, the ne started its descent and Jepherson pressed his hands against Raeleigh''s
ears, covering them as she looked up at him. It was Raeleigh''s first time on a ne. She didn''t know
anything and didn''t pay attention to the noise. Jepherson''s action was a little sudden. When she looked
up, she saw that Jepherson was smiling at her. She wanted to push Jepherson''s hand away, but she
didn''t. Instead, she quietened down.
After the nended, the sound disappeared. Jepherson took his hands away from Raeleigh''s ears
and he then smiled.
She didn''t like the fact that he smiled at her. When a man smiled at her, she wouldn''t like it. Since it
was Jepherson, she disliked it even more.
Jepherson got up from his seat and simply packed up Raeleigh''s stuff. Then, he took Raeleigh''s hand
and left the ne.
When they got off the ne, Raeleigh heard the people around her talking about one thing, how
handsome Jepherson looked and how elegant his movements were.
Looking at the people around her, Raeleigh wanted to ignore them, but she couldn''t do anything since
they kept talking about her.
Outside the airport, there was a car waiting for them. Raeleigh followed Jepherson out of the airport
and went straight into the car. The chauffeur drove them away. Raeleigh then knew that this was a
small town next to the coast. Although the town was not big, it was already considered as a first-ss
city, so it was still very prosperous.
Inside the car, Jepherson began to read the information. It was said that he was going to an orphanage
to find someone.
"What has the other party said?" Jepherson was then acting like a bossy president. He had a cold and
unpredictable expression, deep and quiet eyes, and his whole body was emitting a serious aura. Even
Raeleigh, who wasn''t paying much attention to him, could feel that his aura was different from before.
"I have already contacted him and the director has called." Stuart, who was in the front seat, answered
quickly.
Jepherson turned his face away. The calm on his handsome face was swept away and reced with
coldness. Raeleigh stared at Jepherson''s eyes with the light of the setting sun outside the window. She
saw a touch of pain in his eyes.
Raeleigh didn''t know if it was an illusion. She looked down for a while to check the bracelet in her hand.
At that time, the car passed by several busy streets and finally stopped in front of a very remote
suburban agency.
When Raeleigh got out of the car and saw the sign in front of the door, she froze for a moment. "Isn''t
this an orphanage?"
At that time, some people stood in front of the gate of the orphanage. The old dean, who had seen
Jepherson, rushed out to greet him. Jepherson said, "Madam Bet, there''s no need for the
pleasantries."
Madam Bet?
Raeleigh looked at the person opposite her. The director of her orphanage also had the family name of
Bet.
What a coincidence!
"Mr. Harvey, wee. With the money you have donated to our orphanage, we believe that it will help
more children improve their lives. It really is us who should thank you. And to think that we had to
trouble you toe all the way here to see us, we really don''t know how to thank you for all this."
"No, madam, you are too polite. Charity has always been something that my parents are keen on. We
also hope that there will be more children who will get well taken care of and have ess to better
logistics."
"But this time, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can help me."
"Are you referring to the person you were looking for?" The dean had already been notified, so she had
already prepared the relevant information.
"Yes."
"Mr. Harvey, pleasee with me." The director led them and soon, Raeleigh and Jepherson found
themselves inside the orphanage.
As they walked in, Raeleigh stared nkly at the things in the orphanage, which reminded her of many
things.
"Here is the list of all the children who have been here at this orphanage since I took over its
management. Here it is. Mr. Harvey, please have a look." The director took out two heavy books and
put them on the table in the dean''s office, inviting Jepherson to have a look.
There were not many people in the director''s office at that time. There were only the director and
assistant director, Jepherson, Raeleigh, and Stuart.
Jepherson sat at one side. He opened the book and read it from the beginning to the end. He finished
the whole book.
Rubbing his eyes, Jepherson began to read the second book.
When Jepherson finished reading the second book, there was a trace of loss in his eyes, and then he
hid it.
"Sorry to have troubled you, but the person I am looking for is not here." Jepherson handed the book to
the director. The director nodded and said, "If there is anything we can help with, then please let us
know and we will try our best to help you. There''s one other thing. Today, the children in our orphanage
prepared a performance for you. They hope you can stay to watch them perform and leave after having
dinner."
By that time, it was already dusk. If they were to leave then, then they would have to waste quite a bit
of time.
Jepherson nced outside. "In that case, I''m sorry I''ll have to trouble you, Madam Bet.
"No trouble at all. Let''s go."
The director went to the door and invited Jepherson and Raeleigh to watch the children''s performance.
The show was performed in the courtyard of the orphanage. The ce was decorated withnterns
and streamers. Raeleigh apanied Jepherson at the front seats. There were two children who gave
them flower wreaths. It was a very lively scene.
After the show ended, they had dinner in the yard. The children were all waiting in an orderly fashion
for dinner. Raeleigh looked at the children and thought of herself when she was a child.
After dinner, Raeleigh and Jepherson went to take a rest. The dean arranged two rooms, but
Jepherson still stayed over in Raeleigh''s room.
The room itself was not spacious, and the conditions in the orphanage were limited. It was impossible
for everyone to have a big room.
The rooms that were allocated to Raeleigh and Jepherson were specially prepared for donors to have a
short rest. So, it was not spacious. It was just a room to rest in.
But that day...

Raeleigh stood in the room and looked around. In such a small room, it was a good ce for one
person, but it would be crowded if there was one more person. Besides, it was not appropriate for
them, being unmarried, if they were to stay in a room together.
