Chapter 1379 Smiling for No Reason
After leaving the hospital, Raeleigh sat beside Belle in the car. Holding her hands tightly, Belle
bbered, and Raeleigh only kept nodding her head in reply to her words. It was not until they arrived
at the Harvey Group Manor that Raeleigh felt peace and quiet had returned to her.
Calvin took his beloved wife''s hand as they descended the car and led her away like a lovely young
couple. Raeleigh was a little lost in thought as she looked at their retreating figure, not expecting Calvin
to be so affectionate to his wife.
He was not stingy about dering his love even if Jepherson was there.
Raeleigh waited for Jepherson for a moment before he said, "Let''s go to the Fragrance Garden first."
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. "Are we not visiting your grandmother?"
"Are you for real?"
"Nope," Raeleigh said as she held Xanthus''s arm. He patted her hand in return and said, "Let''s go."
The siblings then went to the Fragrance Garden. As the head of the Harvey Group Manor, Jepherson
briefly introduced theyout and design of the Fragrance Garden.
"Theyout here is exactly the same as our manor in A City."
"It is indeed very beautiful," Xanthus said frankly.
"But I prefer the manors overseas. I think when I have kids a few yearster, I will send them there.
The environment there is great for them to grow and learn."
Jepherson said while walking. Raeleigh looked at him but said nothing.
Xanthus said nothing either. When the three of them arrived at Fragrance Garden, Jepherson
immediately arranged a room for Xanthus. With that, Raeleigh apanied her brother to tidy up the
room and stayed in there for a while.
In actuality, everything had been sorted out. Raeleigh merely spread the quilt and had a chat.
Xanthus sat on the bed and scanned the antique disy in the room. He looked at Raeleigh and said,
"Take a rest."
Pouring a ss of water for Xanthus, she said, "I wasn''t used to it either when I first came."
Raeleigh handed the water to Xanthus, who took the cup and asked, "What about now? Are you used
to it?"
"Now... "
Raeleigh pursed her lips at that and continued, "Not really, but it is morefortable here than in Ink
Garden."
"Raeleigh... have you ever thought about it? Coming here means that you''ll have to live here and
spend time with everyone in the Harvey family. Do you know what this means?"
Raeleigh thought for a moment and answered, "I know, but I''ve never thought of staying."
Xanthus continued to wait for her answer, and she said, "I''ve never thought of living here. I can''t leave
now, but I won''t live here."
"It''s good that you don''t. I won''t be at ease if you do."
To Xanthus, handing Raeleigh back to Jepherson was the greatestpromise. If she were to live in
this manor, facing a woman like Paige...
"You''re worried about me living at home." Raeleigh ridiculed.
There came a knock on the door. When Xanthus looked up, Jepherson opened the door and came in.
He was in a casual outfit, pants and sweater, looking like a boy-next-door.
Entering the door, Jepherson paused for a moment. "I got these for you. Change into it and see if it
fits."
He said as he handed Raeleigh a ck bag.
With that, she took a look at the contents. The clothes inside were the same color tones as his, ck
pants and a red sweater.
Santiago''s green top suddenly popped up in her mind, and she wanted tough.
The younger brother was green and the older brother was red?
Raeleigh took the clothes away. "I''ll go get changed. You guys have a chat in the meantime."
Raeleigh went out of Xanthus''s room into her and Jepherson''s room to change.
Only Jepherson and Xanthus were left in the room. Jepherson took a quick look behind and closed the
door.
Then, he turned to look at Xanthus. "I was outside."
Xanthus couldn''t care less about it. "It won''t change even if you''re not; Raeleigh is my sister. I don''t like
your family''s wealthy background or the rules inside and out."
"Raeleigh was born into an unfortunate situation, and to me, my family owes her a great deal. There is
no way I''d let Raeleigh have any displeasure in marriage."
"What if I give Raeleigh a happy life here?" Jepherson asked Xanthus, who then replied, "If you''re the

only one giving, then it''s not necessary. Both you and I are aware this ce doesn''t belong to you, but
you belong here. The same goes to Raeleigh if she enters the family."
Xanthus was well aware of what a woman who married into a wealthy family like Jepherson''s would
have to face. To other women, perhaps finding someone from a well-matched family was important as
nobility would guarantee their riches in the future.
To Xanthus, such honor was not important and unremarkable.
Women under the spotlight were actually more pathetic. To a certain degree, it was nothing more than
a sh in the pan. When their cover story ends, they''ll go back to being discriminated against and
miserable. So, this ce wasn''t any different than the other ces, just that it was furnished with
expensive furniture.
People loved a fully bloomed flower, but where would it go after it started to wilt?
"What if we leave here and settle down outside?"
Jepherson''s words were unintentional; after all, he had never thought about it. His purpose was to
marry Raeleigh, but his goal was to win her back.
There was no point for him to stay in the manor when she wouldn''t be around.
However, the moment Jepherson spoke, Xanthus almostughed, but his expression appeared
displeased.
"Raeleigh isn''t a woman you can just instate. She has to be the head of the house, at least. Even if she
marries someone ordinary, she will be the mistress of the house. The people you can instate can only
be someone else."
Xanthus stood his ground; he would neverpromise on Raeleigh''s affairs.
Raeleigh came back in; she had already changed into the clothes Jepherson gave her. The two guys
looked over at her spontaneously and froze, seeing the girl approach them as if she were an elf.
Raeleigh was the epitome of intelligence and elegance, which cannot be found in ordinary people.
Jepherson naturally held Raeleigh in his arms, and she did not evade but raised her head and asked
instead, "What do you think?"
Of course, Jepherson would say that she looked beautiful, and the tenderness in his eyes was evident.
Raeleigh then turned to her brother. "Xanthus?"
"Beautiful, you look beautiful in everything."
No brother would think otherwise, not to mention that she was truly gorgeous.
"I''ll show you around."
Raeleigh left Jepherson''s embrace and took Xanthus''s arm, leading him out. Standing in the room,
Jepherson watched the siblings leave hand-in-hand and went to catch up with them.
In all honesty, Raeleigh wasn''t familiar with theyouts of Fragrance Garden. Walking as she looked
around, Xanthus found it amusing and asked, "If you can''t find it, forget about it. There''s no need for us
to make rounds."
Raeleigh stopped. "There is a first for everything. If we don''t look for it, we can never leave."
Xanthus savored Raeleigh''s words knowingly and smiled for no reason.
