Chapter 1083 He Also Felt Ufortable


    Everyone turned to look at the entrance, including Raeleigh. When she saw Jepherson, she did not


    expect to get up, but the atmosphere in the room was a little unusual.


    "I thought you said you were ying poker?" Jepherson asked, still standing at the entrance. Raeleigh


    suddenly looked at her current position. Then, she got up and tried to exin herself. When she saw


    the displeasure in Jepherson''s eyes, she did not know what to say.


    "Why didn''t you tell us that you wereing back?" Santiago asked as he rose to his feet. He tucked


    his hands in his pocket with a calm expression on his face.


    Scarlette gulped, lowering her head. She was scared out of her wits.


    She did not think that there was anything wrong with it, but when did Jephersone home? Why


    didn''t he say anything?


    "I just came back. Am I interrupting anything?" Jepherson''s eyes were calm as he stared at Santiago.


    Santiago thought for a moment and said, "You''ve misunderstood. Raeleigh just..."


    "What about Raeleigh?" Jepherson asked. Raeleigh asked worriedly, "What are you doing?"


    "Nothing. I''m just feeling tired. Can you follow me upstairs?" Jepherson turned around and made his


    way upstairs. Raeleigh followed suit. There was an unusual feeling.


    Scarlette heaved a sigh of relief when Raeleigh headed upstairs. Jepherson must have misunderstood


    something.


    Santiago turned around and watched as Raeleigh went upstairs into her room. He quietly followed her


    upstairs. Deanna was downstairs with the rest while they watched Santiago walk upstairs. She


    wondered why Santiago needed to follow Raeleigh.


    When Santiago arrived upstairs, he stood outside of Raeleigh''s room, trying to eavesdrop on their


    conversation. After a while, he came back downstairs.


    Deanna was at a loss for words. Why did he have to eavesdrop?


    "Why did youe home?" Raeleigh asked after a while. She remained standing at the door after


    entering the room. Jepherson walked over to the window after entering the room. Raeleigh did not say


    anything until she was sure that Santiago had left.

    "You guys..."


    Jepherson swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue. It was not that he did not believe


    Raeleigh. There were just some things that he could not stop himself from thinking, especially when it


    concerned Santiago.


    Raeleigh did not answer. She knew that Jepherson did not want an exnation about what was going


    on between her and Santiago. He wanted an exnation for their conversation earlier.


    As her boyfriend, Jepherson trusted her. He also trusted Santiago because he was his brother.


    Jepherson just did not know how to ask her after what he saw.


    Raeleigh stood there for a while without saying a word.


    Jepherson turned around to look at her, unmoving.


    Raeleigh walked over and sat on the bed. She lowered her head and said, "I think we should take a


    break for a while. I need some time to think through some things."


    Jepherson frowned. "Why?"


    Raeleigh shook her head and did not want to say it.


    ...


    The room fell silent. Both of them did not say anything. Paige called Jepherson to ask him where he


    was and whether he had met up with Deanna.


    However, she could not reach Jepherson. So, she had no choice but to call Stuart. Stuart had to ry


    the message to Jepherson. He immediately walked up to Raeleigh''s room and knocked on the door.


    When Raeleigh heard the knock, she got up from the bed, ending the silence in the room.


    After opening the door, Stuart smiled at Raeleigh and said, "Madam Paige called. Is Mr. Jepherson in


    here?"


    "Yes, he''s inside." Raeleigh turned around. A few momentster, Jepherson emerged from the room.


    He took the phone and called Paige.


    "What''s the matter?" Jepherson looked at Raeleigh as he talked to his grandmother. Paige sounded


    very unhappy. "Why didn''t you answer my call?"


    Jepherson thought for a moment and said, "I have something to discuss with Raeleigh."


    "About what? What''s the point of talking to her?" Paige felt unhappy at the mention of Raeleigh.


    Whatever the case was, Paige felt that Deanna was the perfect granddaughter-inw. However, there


    was no progress with Jepherson''s and Deanna''s rtionship at that time. Instead, it looked like things


    were decided between Jepherson and Raeleigh.


    Paige had her own thoughts. For someone like Santiago, even if there were plenty of women avable


    to him, he had to like them. Thus, she never really bothered about Santiago. She could neither push


    him to be with just anyone, nor have a say in who he wanted to be with.


    First of all, it was not that Raeleigh was nothing special. Jepherson had told her that Raeleigh had


    many suitors, such as Flynt and Zorion, and they were not ordinary people. Since they liked Raeleigh, it


    meant that she possessed amicable qualities.


    At the very least, Santiago was still her grandson. Of course, she wanted to leave the best for her


    grandson.


    However, Paige was not impressed with Raeleigh''s background. Therefore, she was not interested in


    Raeleigh at all. If it were not for Raeleigh''s talent, then Paige would disapprove of their rtionship.


    Paige sounded angry. Jepherson was a little impatient and asked, "What''s wrong with Raeleigh? Why


    can''t I talk to her?"


    Jepherson''s attitude puzzled Paige. What was going on?


    Raeleigh raised her head to look at Jepherson, thinking he shouldn''t have done that. She did not want


    to be the reason he had a falling out with Paige.


    Raeleigh reached out and pulled Jepherson''s hand. He turned to look at her and said, "Raeleigh wants


    to leave the Harvey Group and she is being headhunted by several organisations. They are offering her


    a much higher sry. I have no idea who exposed her talent. The situation is a little tricky right now."


    "What?" Paige''s face fell when she heard that someone had leaked the information. "Who''s that rebel?


    You should investigate this immediately!"


    "And Raeleigh, how could she do this because of money?"


    "Isn''t she Santiago''s girlfriend? Where''s Santiago? Where the h*ll is he?"


    Paige was angry, and so was Jepherson.


    "I''m going to hang up first." Jepherson''s attitude was unyielding. Paige was furious, but she gradually


    calmed down. She sat down on the couch and mmed her hand on it. "That''s ridiculous. She doesn''t


    have much foresight. She wants to leave the Harvey Group because of money. Who does she think


    she is?"


    Jepherson hung up the phone. Raeleigh did not quite understand and asked, "Wouldn''t your words


    make your grandmother misunderstand me?"


    "She has long misunderstood you. It doesn''t make a difference." After that, Jepherson nced at


    Stuart and said, "I''m going to stay here tonight. You can go."


    "Yes, Mr. Jepherson." Stuart took back his phone and left the room.


    Raeleigh closed the door and looked at Jepherson. "You didn''t answer me."


    "Grandma has long misunderstood you. She doesn''t like you. If I don''t say that, then she would


    uncover your ws herself," Jepherson said as he reached out for Raeleigh''s hand and pulled her to


    the bed for a seat.  Raeleigh turned to look at Jepherson, saying, "Do you want your grandmother to


    dislike me even more?"


    "Is there any difference?" Jepherson held Raeleigh''s hand. He had a feeling that Raeleigh was hiding


    something from him and it was not what happened downstairs. He seemed to feel that she was hiding


    something else from him.


    Raeleigh said nothing and just stared at Jepherson. "Didn''t you say that you wanted to apany


    your grandmother this weekend?"


    "Are you trying to drive me away?" Jepherson raised his eyebrows. Raeleigh shook her head.


    Raeleigh felt a little ufortable at the thought of what their rtionship might be.


    "Why do you look unhappy then?" Jepherson did not want to pressure Raeleigh. It was just that he also


    felt ufortable when he saw Raeleigh depressed and wasn''t willing to tell him what was bothering


    her.
