Chapter 834


    After being in the car for some time, Jepherson moved his hand from his thighs and reached


    towards Raeleigh. Raeleigh had her head lowered as she watched him ce his hand onto hers.


    He held her hand gently, with his thumb on the inside of her palm while the other fingers held her


    palm.


    Raeleigh didn''t move. She knew that she wouldn''t be able to escape despite what Jepherson


    wanted to do to her that time. It was the second time meeting him and she didn''t get the feeling that


    he was going to do anything s*xual towards her.


    On the contrary, Jepherson seemed to be trying to show her that he was being considerate towards


    her. But why was he doing that? Raeleigh had no idea.


    After holding her hand, Jepherson turned his face to look at her. He had a light smile on his face.


    "Was it interesting?" Jepherson whispered as his body moved towards her. Raeleigh didn''t avoid


    him but she just stared at him. Jepherson couldn''t get a reaction out of Raeleigh and his expression


    showed that he was disappointed. His eyes looked sad and he sighed out of frustration.


    "If it were someone else, then would you have no reaction either? You''re as stubborn as a rock,


    given your good looks," Jepherson said with augh. He leaned in to kiss her, and she moved back


    to avoid him, but before she could escape, he pressed his hand on the back of her head and


    pushed her towards himself.


    Raeleigh widened her eyes, staring at Jepherson''s lips on hers. Her eyebrows tightened and then


    slowly rxed.


    Seeing that she didn''t react much, Jepherson turned around and pressed her against the car seat.


    He neither kissed her nor took any other actions, and all he did was to look at her silently.


    Jepherson noticed a sense of coldness in her gaze, as if she had disconnected herself from the


    world.


    "Here." Jepherson pointed his finger to his lips. Raeleigh''s beautiful eyes turned to look outside the


    window. She knew that if she didn''t kiss him then, he wouldn''t move away from her.


    Raeleigh hesitated for a moment and wanted to do as he ordered. Jepherson smiled and kissed her


    before she could kiss him.


    Then, Jepherson got up and adjusted his shirt.


    "Stuart," Jepherson called out from the car. Raeleigh got up as she watched Jepherson sit up.


    "Book two tickets to the ssical violin recital." Jepherson instructed as Stuart was holding the car


    door open from the outside. Jepherson''s expression looked indifferent and he didn''t seem like


    someone with a bad temper.


    Raeleigh hesitated for a while and then asked, "You want to go to a ssical concert with me?"


    "What else could it be? Don''t all rtionships start by going on dates?" Jepherson recalled how


    Raeleigh confessed to him and thought it was funny. "We had already exchanged gifts. Shouldn''t


    we at least go to a ssical concert?" he added.


    "I didn''t agree to date you. You deliberately misunderstood it. You knew that I was forced to confess


    to you, yet you epted the gift. Not only did you almost cost me my schrship application form,


    you made me Quirina''s nemesis," Raeleighined. She was upset about being dragged into


    this situation. Even without Jepherson, Quirina was never going to let her off easily, but Jepherson''s


    interference worsened her situation. No one would want to be in such a situation.


    "I''ve epted your gift. How could you just decide not to date me? It doesn''t make sense, and why


    are you making it sound like it''s reasonable? I am the Young Master of the Richards family. You


    confessed your feelings to me publicly and I epted it in front of everyone. If people found out that


    you dumped me, then how embarrassing would that be for the Richards family? What would it do to


    my reputation?"


    "You are clearly not being reasonable at all."


    "Mr. Jepherson." Stuart interrupted Raeleigh''s sentence. Jepherson turned to Stuart and replied,


    "Go ahead."


    "Mr. Jepherson, about the ssical concert, there are two sessions. We could still make it there on


    time if we leave now but the repertoire isn''t the best." Stuart was frustrated that they were so


    unlucky.


    "What is it?" Jepherson looked at Stuart and asked. "It''s Love Story, followed by Butterfly Lovers,"


    Stuart replied.


    "We can''t make it in time for Love Story?" Jepherson asked. Stuart replied, "Yes."


    "We''ll go for Butterfly Lovers then."


    Stuart was stunned for a moment but he still circled back to the other side of the car and got in.


    The driver drove the car straight to the hall where the concert was being held.


    When the car arrived at the venue, Jepherson got down ahead of Raeleigh. Then, he turned around


    and reached out for Raeleigh''s hand, waiting for her to get down from the car.


    Raeleigh sat in the car and her gaze fell on Jepherson, who was outside the car. Raeleigh said, "I


    will get out of the car if you promise me that you''ll send me back by ten o''clock. If you don''t, then I


    won''t get off."


    "Alright, I will send you back by ten o''clock." Jepherson wasn''t forceful and he maintained a faint


    smile on his face.


    Then, Raeleigh got down from the car without Jepherson''s help.


    She looked up at the sky and realized it had turned dark. It was almost eight o''clock at night. If he


    were to send her home by ten o''clock, then she would still have time to learn the game.


    Jepherson withdrew his hand after Raeleigh had gone out of the car. There was a sh of


    disappointment in his eyes. He turned to look at Stuart and said, "Stuart, get us two cups of coffee.


    One mhiato and one Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee."


    "Sure." Stuart turned around and left. Jepherson took a look at Raeleigh and said, "Let''s go in.


    We''rete."


    Jepherson instinctively reached out his hand to Raeleigh, but she didn''t reach out to grab it. She


    thought that it wasn''t necessary to do so since they had nothing to do with each other.


    Then, he grabbed her hand without waiting for her to grab his and headed for the hall.


    There were two people standing in front of the concert hall entrance. They quickly went forward to


    Jepherson when they saw him.


    "Mr. Jepherson."


    "Mr. Jepherson."


    "I''ll only be here for a short while, as usual," Jepherson replied and pulled Raeleigh into the concert


    hall. They got into an elevator and headed straight for the convention center where the concert was


    held. They walked to Jepherson''s designated seat. The seat beside it was originally for Stuart, but it


    was meant for Raeleigh that.


    Jepherson''s seat was not all the way at the front, and he wanted it that way, so it made it easy for


    him to go in and out of the concert without catching much attention.


    As they took their seats, the second half of the concert had just begun. Raeleigh looked around her,


    and she thought that she didn''t belong here because the people attending this concert were all


    wealthy and upper ss.


    Stuart came from one side and handed them the cups of coffees. He then sat down at a seat nearby


    and remained alert.


    Jepherson handed one of the coffees to Raeleigh.


    He then leaned over to her and whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "If you don''t like it,


    then I''ll get you a different one next time."


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Raeleigh moved away and stared at Jepherson. She didn''t understand why he was doing this. Had


    he possibly fallen for her?


    "Forget about it. Someone like me doesn''t belong in a ce like this. It''s only normal for wealthy


    guys to y with our emotions and take us on a ride." She thought about it and found it funny.


    Raeleigh was well aware when it came to this matter.


    Love had no boundaries, yet one mustn''t go above one''s rank.


    Since young, Raeleigh had seen many rtionships fall apart, even among average citizens around


    her. Life would be normal from the start as they struggled with their daily activities, but then they


    would end up separating from each other. It was all because they didn''t have money. It happened


    way too often and because of that, Raeleigh didn''t have big hopes in marriage.


    Perhaps she might meet someone in the future, but that was not something she could worry about


    right then. It was too far away from the present, and she didn''t want to think about it.


    She wasn''t against being friends with wealthy people, but it didn''t mean that she would ept all of


    them.


    Jepherson opened the lid of his cup of coffee and then sat quietly as he listened to the concert.


    Raeleigh watched him in confusion, and she then shifted her focus to the concert too.


    Butterfly Lovers was an extremely difficult song to perform on violin. Raeleigh was incredibly


    focused on the performance.


    Jepherson nced at Raeleigh in the middle of the performance. She held her coffee in her hand


    and her eyes were fixed on the performers on stage. She looked so focused that it seemed like she


    had forgotten where she was.


    He did not disturb her and allowed her to enjoy the concert in peace.


    Raeleigh would smile from time to time as she watched the performance. Although it was only a


    faint smile, and it disappeared from her face quickly, Jepherson was able to catch every expression


    she had.
