Chapter 860
When Raeleigh got out of the car, Jepherson immediately held her in his arms. He undid his coat
that he had taken off and wrapped Raeleigh in his arms. She raised her head and looked at him, but
Jepherson could not be bothered. He held Raeleigh in his arms and walked into the hotel. Except
for her feet, Raeleigh was not wet at all when they walked into the hotel. On the contrary, it was
Jepherson himself, whose shoulders were totally covered in rain water. The rest of his body too was
drenched.
"Master Richards, don''t catch a cold. Let''s go to the room first." Stuart couldn''t afford it if Jepherson
were to fall ill. Stuart rushed Jepherson to the hotel room. Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms and
walked to the door of the elevator. Stuart had already arranged for someone toe over. He had
already obtained the room card. At the door of the elevator, someone was waiting for Jepherson.
When he reached the door, Stuart quickly took the room card and followed him into the elevator.
It wasn''t until he stepped into the elevator that he let Raeleigh go. He didn''t care about the
dampness on his shoulder. Instead, he lowered his head and found that Raeleigh had taken out her
hand to check the book. She didn''t soak the book in her hand and felt relieved.
With a smile, Jepherson looked at the door of the elevator. Maybe marriage was a tomb, but as
someone said, it was better than the dead bodies in the wilderness that did not even have a tomb.
Stuart didn''t know what had happened to the young master. His temperament was getting weirder
and weirder recently, and he was often smiling without thinking.
However, after having learnt his lesson previously, Stuart didn''t dare to look at them again that time.
Aftering out of the elevator, Jepherson stepped out first. Raeleigh then followed him out,
holding the book in her hand, as if it was a priceless treasure.
Stuart led the way and went to the door of the room which he had booked for Jepherson and
Raeleigh. He opened the door and pushed it open.

"Young Master, Miss Anson, please." Stuart stood at the door. Jepherson raised his hand and took
the room card. Then, he followed Raeleigh into the room.
When they entered the door, Jepherson took off her coat and put it aside. Her shirt was clean.
Jepherson took off his shoes and put on the hotel slippers, after which he went straight into the
bathroom.
Not long after, Raeleigh heard the sound of running watering from the bathroom. Raeleigh
looked at herself and found that she was not wet at all.
Raeleigh put down the book and changed her shoes. Then, she picked up the book and walked into
the room. She sat there, leaning against the couch. Feeling the coldness of her feet, she folded her
feet up under her on the couch and huddled up.
Raeleigh couldn''t remember when it happened. The temperature of her hands and feet was
different. Her hands were warmer than her feet, but they were not very hot.
However, with poor cirction at her feet, when winter came and the weather dropped to freezing
temperatures, her feet would be ice-cold to the touch. This was especially so on those winter days
when no matter how manyyers one wore, one would still feel a bit chilly.
Raeleigh curled up. When Jepherson came out of the bathroom, he saw Raeleigh reading on the
couch. He did not disturb her. He made a phone call and called for room service. After he hung up
the phone, Jepherson, who was wearing a bathrobe, walked over to Raeleigh''s side and sat quietly
beside her.
Raeleigh forgot where she was and was used to folding her legs against herself tightly.
Jepherson looked at Raeleigh''s small feet. They were pale and clean like lotus roots. They were
very thin and did not look big enough to be held in one''s palms.
The bathrobe worn by Jepherson was specially prepared by the hotel for the guests. In such a hotel
where only rich people could stay, anything prepared was carefully selected and strictly supervised.
Although Jepherson had a fear for germs, he didn''t reject the bathrobe in this hotel. He didn''t like to
expose his bare back in front of anybody, unlike those exhibitionists who enjoyed putting their
bodies on disy. Even when he was swimming in an outdoor pool, he could only swim smoothly
when there was no one around.
Jepherson looked at Raeleigh''s tight little feet, which looked very cold.
Jepherson raised his hand and took off his bathrobe. He held Raeleigh''s foot and withdrew his
hand. He hesitated for a moment and he then looked at Raeleigh, as if he was scared.
Raeleigh blushed and withdrew her foot. "What are you doing?"
"Why are your feet so cold?" This a strange question,ing from Jepherson.
Raeleigh pursed her lips and said nothing. She was like a woman who wanted to take advantage of
others but had not seeded. However, she had to find a legitimate excuse to say something.
What else could she have said?
Raeleigh thought for a moment. "My feet have been like this since I was a kid."
Jepherson frowned deeply. "The weather now is not very warm but it''s not cold enough to justify the
temperature of your feet. Why don''t you have it checked out?"
Raeleigh remained silent as she felt a little helpless. Only rich people could ask such a question.
It used to be that even having a meal would break the bank, what more going to the doctors?
Besides, this sort of problem was not unheard of. Many women''s bodies are like that and her
grandmother had told her that it wasmon for women''s hands and feet to freeze easily.
However, her grandmother had also mentioned that Raeleigh should get it checked out. It was just
that Raeleigh was unwilling to spend money on something minor like this.
"I''m fine. You don''t have to worry about me."
Raeleigh didn''t want to say more, and continued to resist.
Jepherson touched Raeleigh''s hand and tried to feel her body temperature. Raeleigh wanted to take
it back but he held it tightly. She didn''t budge and her face turned a little red.
"You can read while I will warm you up." When Jepherson spoke, Raeleigh didn''t say anything. He
had already held her cold feet and put them in his arms.
When Raeleigh''s feet touched Jepherson''s warm chest, she couldn''t help shrinking. However,
Jepherson held her feet tightly and pressed them to his chest instead of letting them go.
Raeleigh blushed suddenly. How could a woman put her foot in a man''s arms?
"Don''t be like this, I don''t..." When Raeleigh spoke, Jepherson held her other foot and put it in his
arms. Since he was in a bathrobe, she looked like a baby, with both her feet in Jepherson''s arms.
Raeleigh''s face turned redder. "Doesn''t he dislike being dirty?"
Looking at Jepherson, he clearly looked like a person who had a phobia of anything unclean.
Raeleigh pursed her lips, and her face turned as red as fire and she could not read the book
anymore.
Jepherson breathed heavily again and again, and his chest began to rise and fall.
Raeleigh put down the book and tried to pull Jepherson away, but he said, "Read your book. I''ll be
alright in a moment. I''m in the middle of something here. Don''t disturb me and be a good girl.
Otherwise, you''ll have to bear the consequences."
Raeleigh went rigid for a moment and did not respond. It was also the first time that she had
encountered such a situation. She did not know how to deal with it.
Jepherson made it sound like she was being naughty, like she was torturing him, but she had done
nothing.
Raeleigh gradually calmed down and watched her feet that were ced in his arms. Maybe in this
world, there were people with abnormal personalities who liked to do some incredibly weird things.
If one blindly entangled oneself with them, then one''s life would be difficult for.
Raeleigh calmed herself down and she then picked up her book, concentrating as hard as she
could on it, not caring about her feet that were apparently not her concern anymore.
Jepherson put Raeleigh''s feet in his arms and wrapped them with his clothes. Then, he reached out
for his phone with his free arm and gave Marissa a call.
