Chapter 857


    "Raeleigh, you should keep this extra money and spend it on yourself. You shouldn''t spend it all on


    me. I don''t even like these things," the olddy said. In actuality, it was not that she didn''t like it, but


    that she didn''t want the money to be wasted on her. To put it bluntly, even if she had the best


    clothes to wear then or the best things to use, she didn''t have it in her youth when she could''ve


    really used and enjoyed it. So, what was the point of having it, now that she was already so old.


    "It was quite cheap, so I bought it. Grandma, we''re going back today. Call me if you need anything."


    Raeleigh reminded her again and again, and so did the olddy. After walking for a while with


    Scarlette, they saw a cab and was about to hail it to get back to the university.


    "Let''s take a bus," Scarlette said as she pulled Raeleigh towards the bus station instead. Scarlette


    had spotted a bus card in Raeleigh''s bag and inferred that Raeleigh normally couldn''t bear to spend


    extra money on a cab. So, Scarlette thought there was no need to hail a cab just to apany her


    when this was what Raeleigh preferred.


    When they arrived at the bus station, they waited in line when a sleek ck car arrived and stopped


    ahead. It was too striking, which caught everybody''s attention.


    Raeleigh saw the car logo and knew that it was Jepherson''s car.


    Stuart quickly got out of the car, after which he walked to Raeleigh and said politely, "Miss Anson,


    please."


    Raeleigh took a look at the people around her, who were looking on, and then she walked over.


    The door was opened and Stuart invited Raeleigh to get into the car. Raeleigh turned around and


    took a look at Scarlette. Bending over, she got into the car.


    Scarlette initially intended to get into the same car as well, but before she could step closer, the


    man outside the car, Stuart, said, "Sorry, Young Master Richards is getting changed. Miss Scarlette,


    please take the other car."


    She raised her head and narrowed her eyes at Stuart. Alright!


    She turned around and strode over to the other car, which wasing over to her. Then, she bent


    down and got into the car.


    Stuart then got into the car. By that time, Jepherson was done changing his clothes and was sitting


    in the car and reading from a


    notebook.


    Closing the book, Jepherson raised his head and asked, "Is there any other special arrangement for


    today?"


    "There are none."


    "Tell the Old Madam that I have something to do and cannot go back for dinner today. I''ll be back


    tomorrow," Jepherson immediately ordered. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson with her dark eyes


    thoughtfully for a while.


    "Where are you going to take me?" Raeleigh had to go back to school the next day, which was why


    she had to leave one day earlier, as the travelling distance was very far. Even by car, it would take


    two hours.


    Why would Jepherson appear?


    "I need to go out for a bit today. I don''t have a femalepanion. Since you have nothing to do,


    keep mepany for a while and I''ll have you back by tomorrow morning and it won''t affect your


    ns." Jepherson''s tone was calm, as if they were an old couple who had been together for many


    years. Raeleigh frowned. What was Jepherson''s intention?


    All of a sudden, the car was silent. Raeleigh lowered her head and subconsciously fixed her eyes


    on the bracelet on her wrist. "What did Jepherson want to do?" "I still have something to do at eight


    o''clock tomorrow. Are you sure you can send me back by eight o''clock tomorrow morning?"


    Raeleigh finallypromised. On one hand, she couldn''t argue with Jepherson. On the other hand,


    even if she had tried to argue her way out of this, she wouldn''t be able to win over him, and this


    really was the key factor.


    Jepherson smiled thinly and said, "Alright." Then, he turned his face to the side and elegantly


    crossed his legs and affixed his hands on his thighs, his gaze focusing on the road outside the


    window. He looked rxed and free from all desire, that Raeleigh, who had been staring, had him


    go into a little daze.


    Raeleigh had seen a lot of elegant men, but it was the first time she''d seen someone of Jepherson''s


    age being able to achieve such natural elegance.


    A book was ced beside Jepherson. Raeleigh was slightly stunned when she saw the signature


    on it. It was the signature of one of Germany''s top car designers and it was an artistic collectible


    item. It had been said that there were only ten of such copies in the whole world and that its price


    was invaluable.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Raeleigh sat there for a while, her eyes fixed on the diary.


    "Can I have a look?" Raeleigh finally decided to break the silence and requested.


    The corners of Jepherson''s lips curled into a smile. From the clean and elegant side of his face, he


    seemed to be a beautiful sculpture, reflecting the beauty of the contours of his features.


    Jepherson slowly turned around and nced at the book next to him. "It''s a gift for you!"


    Raeleigh froze for a moment. "You''re gifting it to me?"


    "What''s wrong? You don''t want it?" Jepherson''s thin lips moved. The love in his eyes caused the


    temperature in the car to rise.


    Raeleigh was speechless for a moment. Raeleigh might not care for other things, but she had been


    dreaming about this design book for a long time. She had thought about it more than once. If she


    could be a famous car designer before the age of 40, then the first thing she would do was to


    visit Germany and go to this deceased designer''s grave to pay her respects and offer her thanks for


    his contribution.


    However, dreams were always too far away. They were so distant that she didn''t dare to dream


    about them. Perhaps, it was a dream that would never be realized.


    So, she told herself, "It''s okay, don''t worry. If I can''t do it in 40 years, then I''ll spend the rest of my


    life trying to achieve it!"


    But she hadn''t expected that such a dream woulde true. In an instant, the diary was in front of


    her, giving her a chance to take a look at it.


    Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, "Let me have a look. I will give it back to you afterwards."


    "Take it." Jepherson suddenly picked up the book and put it in Raeleigh''s hand. The book seemed


    to have ws and firmly grabbed at Raeleigh''s heart.


    She looked at Jepherson and said, "Let me have a look. I''ll return it to you after I finish."


    Jepherson turned his face away, crossed his legs, and calmly looked outside. This stone was hard


    enough. It seemed that he had to prepare well for a long battle.


    Thinking about this, Jepherson lowered his eyes and smiled.


    Raeleigh did not notice this. Stuart however did and it scared him as he thought, "What was their


    young master doing? What was he fantasizing about? About it?"


    Sensing that someone was spying on him, Jepherson turned his headnguidly and caught Stuart


    peeping at him. Stuart was so scared that his face turned pale, and he quickly turned back to the


    front, redirecting his attention to the traffic


    ahead.


    "Get off," Jepherson suddenly said. The driver stopped the car steadily by the side of the road.


    Stuart pushed the door open and got off. He closed the door and the chauffeur drove away.


    Raeleigh had been looking at the book when the car stopped. She raised her head and saw Stuart


    getting out of the car. When Raeleigh realized what had happened, the car had already left.


    Raeleigh looked back in a hurry. Meanwhile, Stuart stood rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on their


    car. He stood there like that until the other car behind stopped for him and picked him up.


    Raeleigh was at a loss, and looked at Jepherson in a strange way. However, Jepherson had already


    turned his face to look at the outside of the car, which further confused Raeleigh.


    After looking at him for a while, Raeleigh lowered her head and continued to look at the book in her


    hand, not wanting to meddle with his affairs.


    Raeleigh liked the book very much and looked at it all the way. When the car stopped, she was still


    looking at it. Time had passed by without her noticing it.


    Raeleigh stopped and took a look outside the car but she did not stir. But then, she looked at the


    people zooming in and out, the cars passing by, as well as the huge billboards, and she knew that


    they had arrived at the airport.


    "Where are we going?" When Raeleigh asked, Stuart had opened the door from the outside.


    Jepherson then got out of the car. He did not leave with Raeleigh, but walked into the airport first.
