Chapter 1053 Parents
In the end, Calvin allowed his son the freedom to choose what he wanted to do. Jepherson was soon
to be a father. He had his own thoughts on the matter. Calvin didn''t want to coddle him.
Inside the room, Raeleigh was busy sipping the chicken soup that Belle had served her. She said
nothing. Belle, on the other hand, was besotted from the moment she saw Raeleigh.
"I don''t know why, but I liked you at first sight. I haven''t felt this way for years."
As Belle spoke, Raeleigh slowly lifted her chin and looked at her.
"What other family do you have?" Belle asked Raeleigh. Raeleigh thought it over and replied, "Just my
Grandma. She''s in her seventies."
"Is it just you and your grandmother?"
Raeleigh nodded in response. She had thought that Belle would bepletely different. However,
contrary to her expectations, Belle was a warm person, who was easy to get along with.
Belle then peppered Raeleigh with questions, like any typical parent. It was as though she was
interviewing Raeleigh. Finally, she said, "I don''t know when I''m going back with your father-inw. Jerry
told me that you don''t n to hold a wedding. I don''t agree with that, but anyway, you are our daughter-
inw. You''re bearing a child of the Harvey family. You''ll adopt the Harvey family name sooner orter. I
won''t interfere with your decisions. But I must tell you, pleasee to us for help if there''s any issue."
"Your safety is what''s most important."
Afraid that Raeleigh wouldnd in some sort of trouble, Belle repeatedly drilled that into her head.
Belle finally got up after Calvin called out to her from outside the room. She told Raeleigh, "We''re
heading out for a meal. I''ll get you some takeaway. Rest."
Belle stood up, patted Raeleigh''s hand, and left the room. Raeleigh was left sitting calmly on the bed.
She watched Belle leave, with a flurry of mixed emotions in her heart. She really didn''t think that
Jepherson''s parents would have been so epting of her family''s situation.
After they left, Jepherson came in and walked straight towards Raeleigh. He sat down on the bed and
the two of them conversed about Belle and Calvin.
"Your parents have so many stories," Raeleigh said. She could not believe that they were not natives of
Capital City.
After a while, Raeleigh piped up again, "Since your parents aren''t from here, could that child be in A
City where you lived? You haven''t found her yet anyway, so why don''t you give it a shot?"
"If you hadn''t brought it up, then I would have forgotten itpletely. I''ll have a look next time. I''ll bring
you along too."
"Sure."
...
Due to her pregnancy, Raeleigh stayed in the hospital for a few days. As a result, Lamarre was a little
anxious and called Jepherson to inquire.
Jepherson couldn''t say anything else, in order to protect Raeleigh. All he could do was to bring up
Calvin.
Lamarre then said over the phone that Raeleigh still had five days to generate a new idea. Otherwise,
she would be fired.
Jepherson hung up and looked at Raeleigh. "Pregnant women shouldn''t be exposed to too much rAl
Diartion. I''ll print the blueprint for you."
"It''s okay, you don''t need to fuss over every little thing. I''m pregnant, so are plenty of women around
the world. They''re all using their phones andputers without any issue. You''re too much of a
coward."
Raeleigh clearly looked displeased. Jepherson turned to look at her and asked, "Who''s a coward?"
Raeleigh kept silent. She didn''t want to say anything.
RAl Diartion was everywhere in the present day. Even ordinary people were mindful of it, what more a
person as careful as Jepherson.
Thest thing he wanted was for his descendants to contract any diseases.
Jepherson calmed down from Raeleigh''s silence. He said, "You can use theputer from time to
time. If you don''t have the time toe up with designs, then you can take a break."
"I don''t want to. These years are all I have. I need to work hard. When I get older, I have to take care of
my child. I don''t want her to fall behind in education. Once she''s reached kindergarten age, I can''t be
falling behind other mothers either. Time is passing fast and it won''t stop for me. I don''t want my child to
be stuck on alphabets when she''s already in grade school."
"Then, you want me to worry myself sick about your problems now?" Jepherson suddenly figured that
there was a high chance that he would be reced by the little fellow in her womb in the future.
"If it''s a self-inflicted worry, then I can''t help you. We should just act normal. I can wear rAl Diartion-
proof clothes, as they''re avable everywhere. There must be a way."
Raeleigh delivered her point calmly, rendering Jepherson speechless.
It was quiet inside the ward. Jepherson sat beside Raeleigh with his legs crossed while holding her
hand. Suddenly, he understood. All these trivial matters were not important.
Raeleigh was tired by that point. Holding Jepherson''s hand, she rolled over in the bed. It didn''t take
long for her to fall asleep. When she did, Jepherson caressed Raeleigh''s face gently. She really was a
stubborn person, wasn''t she?
Jepherson tucked Raeleigh into bed, covering her with the quilt. He then got up and went to the door to
call his parents. Calvin''s phone was turned off.
Jepherson frowned and called his mother instead. He also could not get through to Belle. So, he was
directly transferred to voicemail.
...
At the international airport.
With much unhappiness, Belle observed Calvin, who was in front of her. Calvin was pulling his luggage
along while waiting for Belle to catch up.
"Calvin..." Belle was very vexed with how Calvin did things. He had left her son and daughter-inw
behind without saying a word. It was all far too rude. Plus, she still had a gift for Raeleigh. Then what?
Calvin turned around. Although he was in his fifties, he looked like he was in his thirties. He had no
wrinkles at all.
He said, "It''s rare for us to go outside for once, but he messed it up for me. I''m still mad. And now it''s
your turn?"
Belle rolled her eyes and retorted, "You''re making no sense! This has nothing to do with Raeleigh.
Jerry wanted us to meet her. They''re as good as married! How can you not care?"
"Didn''t he say that he would decide? Well, we''ve seen him, what else do we have to do?"
"I don''t care. I''m not leaving," Belle said as she came to a stop. Calvin asked, "Are you really not
leaving?"
"I''m not leaving." Belle was firm.
Calvin nced at the bellboy beside him and waved his hand. He handed arge sum of money to the
bellboy and spoke two simple sentences in the local tongue. Belle had just arrived and had yet to learn
the localnguage. She did not understand it. On the other hand, Calvin was able to learn thenguage
very quickly in a short time.
However, Belle figured that it definitely did not bode well for her.
Surely enough, she saw her luggage being pushed away by the bellboy. Then, Calvin walked up to her
with knitted brows and a gentle gaze. He seemed to have a n in mind.
"Don''te closer," Belle warned. She wanted to run, but Calvin grabbed her and carried her. Belle
suddenly felt the urge to cry, and hastily hid her face. She hated being humiliated. It was too shameful
