Chapter 1498 So What If He Could Find It?


    Raeleigh nced at the people in the room subtly. With Hudson''s support, she wasn''t afraid of


    anything; she could do whatever she wanted.


    Seeing Hudson walking toward the sofa, Belle moved over for him to sit next to Paige. Holding her


    hand, he said, "Give it a rest; you''re in no good shape. No one will pity us even if we''re angered to


    death."


    With that, he looked over at Jepherson and Raeleigh. "It''s decided. Your parents and us will stay here


    in A City; we won''t be going back to Capital City for the time being. We have the Ink Garden and


    Fragrance Garden in the Harvey Group Manor. Since you''re not willing to live under the same roof as


    Ste, then you''ll stay in Fragrance Garden while she lives in Ink Garden. Even if we go back, we won''t


    be in your way and stay in Ink Garden."


    Hudson only said so because he didn''t intend to go to Capital City at all anyway.


    Raeleigh thought for a moment. "Alright. But I am Jepherson''s wife, after all. I want to take charge of


    the matters in the Harvey Group Manor in Capital City; no one is allowed to interfere."


    Geraldine frowned; knowing Raeleigh wasn''t easy to deal with, she would just listen for now.


    Paige wanted to say something, but Hudson interrupted, "I can allow that, but we have our conditions.


    If you don''t get pregnant within a year, you will have to return the manor to us voluntarily. Also..."


    Hudson hesitated, but he still said, "If you don''t get pregnant within a year, then give up your role as the


    matriarch of the family and let Ste take charge."


    Raeleigh thought for a moment and turned to look at Jepherson, who looked nonchnt, then


    pondered for a moment longer. "All I have to do is get pregnant?"


    "Of course, you have to give birth," Paige added.


    Belle added, "But she needs nine months of pregnancy to give birth; it won''t be fair to only give her a


    year."


    Paige looked at Belle and almost started using her for switching sides, but she still swallowed it


    back.


    Hudson said, "It counts even if you''re pregnant."


    "One year it is then. If I don''t have a child, you can take everything back."


    Raeleigh thought one year was enough. If he still couldn''t get the issue with Ste solved within a year,


    she would really look down on Jepherson.


    Therefore, she had never considered getting pregnant.


    Moreover, it was also a way to reassure Geraldine.


    As for Geraldine, she had already thought of a n to deal with Raeleigh.


    "Oh, alright, I''m tired. Since you''ve already agreed to our request, I''m leaving. Today..."


    "Oh, please stay. We have rooms to spare, and you haven''t eaten yet." Paige took Geraldine''s hand


    and stopped her from leaving, leading the two to stand on ceremony.


    Belle judged the situation and said to Raeleigh, "Raeleigh, why don''t you stay in Fragrance Garden for


    now. Have the servants bring your luggage over and get your room ready."


    With that, she turned her gaze to Paige and Geraldine. Immediately, Geraldine understood. No matter


    what, her granddaughter was crippled, and Belle also had her thoughts.


    However, it didn''t matter. They were ying the long game; as long as Ste could marry into the


    family, she could be the first wife one day.


    "Have your dinner over there then. Jepherson,e here, lest she upsets me." Paige was hell-bent on


    not giving the respect Raeleigh deserved, leaving Belle in a difficult position. She had been trying to


    make up for it, but no matter how, Paige was rude.


    Belle was reminded of the past and grew somewhat ufortable.


    "Go on, Raeleigh." Belle nced at Raeleigh andforted her with her gaze.


    Raeleigh nodded and followed Lennox to Fragrance Garden, with Jepherson behind her, not caring


    what the others in the room thought. Before Paige knew it, they were long gone.


    Even if she wanted to call him back, she couldn''t.


    After leaving the Ink Garden, Raeleigh looked around as she walked. As the manor in the Capital City


    was an exact duplicate of this ce, it wasn''t foreign to her, and she found where Jepherson lived with


    ease.


    Raeleigh asked Jepherson, "Since you live here, why do you and Santiago have rooms in both the Ink


    Garden and Fragrance Garden?"


    "I liked to stay at my grandma''s ce when I was young, but at the same time, I had to look after


    Santiago. However, he wasn''t willing to stay there. Over time, he would suddenly want to switch ces


    to stay at, so my dadter arranged rooms for us at both ces."


    Jepherson''s exnation humored Raeleigh, and she asked, "Why do you like to live with your


    grandma?"


    "Things happened when I was five, and after my mom survived, my dad protected her like she''s a


    priceless treasure; he''d even be jealous of me. Whenever I spend too long with my mom, he''d think I''m


    stealing all her affection from him."


    "Later, when Santiago was born, she adored him and would want to cling to him nTristany every


    minute, leading her to neglect my dad and me at times. So my dad would always think Santiago and I


    affected their rtionship."


    "He would always tell me from time to time not to rely on my mother and have my own world."


    "I''m well aware my mom is his whole world."


    "Because of this, I would spend my time with my grandmother, but Santiago was a rebellious one.


    Sometimes, after promising my dad he would stay over at Ink Garden, he would run back to Fragrance


    Garden in the middle of the night, leading everyone to search for himte at night."


    "With that, he arranged rooms for both ces so that we wouldn''t disturb everyone''s rest. If Santiago


    decided to go back to Fragrance Garden in the middle of the night, he could go straight back into his


    room, saving everyone the trouble."


    "Do you really look after him every night?" Raeleighmented in amusement, thinking it seemed to


    be the case.


    "I''m his older brother; am I supposed to leave him be?"


    "No."


    After entering the house and taking off her coat, she took off her shoes and went straight to bed,


    exhausted.


    Jepherson sat next to her in bed, holding her hand with a gaze full of adoration as he asked, "You''ve


    performed exceptionally well today. Did something happen?"


    Raeleigh squinted her eyes slightly, "That reminds me, what do you think, having two wives at one go?"


    Jepherson raised an eyebrow. "Deeply troubled."


    Raeleigh nTristany burst intoughter; fortunately, she was able to hold it back. Jepherson grazed her


    nose and ridiculed, "How can you stillugh at a time like this?"


    "Am I supposed to cry then?" Raeleigh took off her jacket and put it aside. "Be nicer to me. At any rate,


    I''m also considered part of the family now."


    Jepherson lowered his head and kissed her. "Do you really care about this?"


    Raeleigh twitched her lips. "I can''t do anything about it even if I don''t care, can I?"


    Now that things hade to this, she could only take one step at a time. Looking at Jepherson, she


    asked, "When did you have the marriage certificate made?"


    "I just had it done simply." He may have said so, but it was convincing. Raeleigh thought for a moment


    and took the household register booklet out and presented it to him. Stumped, he took a look at it.


    "How?"


    Jepherson''s eyes shed. "No wonder."


    With a smile, Raeleigh said, "Don''t be toocent. I didn''t bring mine."


    Jepherson''s eyes darkened. "I''ll have to go and check then."

    With that, he got out of bed to search for her booklet in her luggage. Raeleigh tried to stop him, but he


    still found it.


    Sitting down, she thought, "So what if he could find it?"
