Chapter 863
Raeleigh woke up after a night''s sleep. She found herself lying in Jepherson''s arms and was
stunned for a moment before she extricated herself from his embrace.
The night before...
Raeleigh tried to recall carefully what had happened and concluded that she had once again been
cheated by his peaceful appearance.
Raeleigh got up and stared at Jepherson, who slowly woke up and opened his eyes to look at her.
Jepherson''s sleepy eyes fell on Raeleigh''s little face, as if he had something he was very happy
about. His thin lips moved and he stretched his body. Then, he stood up, walked over to the bed,
peeled back the covers, and copsed onto it. Under the covers, Jepherson said, "This is the worst
kind of weather. It makes one feel lethargic. Since we''re stuck indoors, we might as well sleep for a
while longer."
After saying that, Jepherson patted on the left side of the bed with his hand. The soft bed was
covered with a pure white quilt. With Jepherson''s elegant hand on top of it, she fell silent. She
looked around and saw that it was still raining outside the window. She did not know why it was
raining in that season.
Raeleigh did not go over to lie down beside him. Instead, she went back to the couch and turned on
the television, watching it on mute, as she wondered in her heart when the rain would let up.
Otherwise, she won''t be getting home that day.
Jepherson didn''t care too much. He hadn''t rested all night. What else could he have done when he
was holding his beloved in his arms? He was young and energetic. He could control himself, but he
was patient enough. It was like a fairy tale, to be sleeping in like this.
Raeleigh watched the TV for a while and she then decided to make a phone call to Scarlette, but
she did not answer the phone. Raeleigh stood up. She took a look at the sleeping Jepherson, who
looked like he was really at ease.
Raeleigh opened the door and saw Stuart standing at the door.
"Miss Anson," Stuart called out politely.
Raeleigh nced at Stuart and said, "I want to see Scarlette."
Stuart hesitated for a moment and turned to the room opposite of Jepherson''s. He raised his hand
and knocked on the door of the room. It was not long before he came out of that room and opened
the door. Scarlette came out groggily with a bed of messy hair. She was wearing white pajamas.
The moment Raeleigh saw her, she stared at her with her round eyes, as if she had been poisoned.
About more than a dozen secondster, Scarlette raised her hand and scratched her head.
"Raeleigh."
Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Scarlette. "It seems like you are enjoying yourself."
Raeleigh spoke and walked in. She could not be more impressed by Scarlette. How could she sleep
so soundly like this in such a situation?

"How did you..." Raeleigh went in and had just turned around as she shut the door when her eyes
inadvertentlynded on the bed in the room. On the bedy a man about 1.80 meters tall, with no
clothes on and an exposed upper body. His bronze skin was smooth and glistening, which made
him look like a bodybuilder. The quilt was covering the man''s waist and his lower body.
Raeleigh could not see the man''s face clearly. His face was turned to the other side. Raeleigh could
only see the back of his head that was full of ck hair. However, she felt like she had seen him
before, as though she knew him from before.
But Raeleigh was shocked by the suddenness of the situation. She neither spoke nor looked at him
any further, but turned slowly to look at Scarlette.
She came back from the door and grabbed two locks of her hair. "He''s the one who was watching
me. I was tired from all the gaming, so I went to sleep. There is only one bed, so we had to share."
She said it very frankly. Raeleigh could tell that Scarlette was not lying, but looking at the messy bed
and the person lying on the bed, she simply could not imagine them making it through the night
without having done anything.
Raeleigh thought for a moment. "Are you sure you''re alright? If he had forced himself on you, then
we can sue him."
"It''s alright, it''s alright. Nothing happened. Raeleigh, don''t get me wrong. That''s not what happened
between me and him. Even if it did happen, it''s probably me who made the move on Hadrian." She
cast a nce at Hadrian''s excellent figure.
Raeleigh didn''t know what to say. She stood there for a while and felt that she was even less
comfortable here than when she was with Jepherson. She said, "I''ll go back first. We''ll talkter."
"Then, you go back first. I''lle over after I take a shower." As Scarlette spoke, Raeleigh cast her
a nce once more to the sleeping figure on the bed. She was not sure who that was and she did
not know what Scarlette had been thinking, but she felt that it was rather inappropriate of her.
Raeleigh exited Scarlette''s room and Stuart immediately escorted her back to her room. Scarlette
narrowed her eyes at Stuart and thought to herself that she will remember this betrayal of his.
Raeleigh looked back at the door after closing it. It was raining outside. With Scarlette''s situation
next door, right then she really had no ce to go.
When she entered the door, Raeleigh took a look at Jepherson, who was still sleeping soundly. She
did not have anything to do, so she went back to the couch. She picked up the booklet and looked
carefully at the design drawings on it.
The design of the vehicle was to keep reporting the core elements of the concepts. Therefore, it
needed to be constantly filled up, to understand the performance of each vehicle and the demand
from people at different levels. She had safely read many design drawings of famous car designers,
but no one had seen this design. It was the design of the present day''s developments.
Many car designers were limited to one kind of element, or an era. What Raeleigh wanted to do was
to surpass these people and not be limited by these people''s elements and era.
Raeleigh turned on the TV and watched the introduction of all kinds of cars for a while. It was
almost noon and she was a little hungry. Jepherson had yet to wake up and Scarlette, unlike what
she had promised, had not shown up either.
Raeleigh put down her book and went to wash up. When she came out, she froze for a moment.
Jepherson was getting up from the bed. Stuart was standing in the room, holding Jepherson''s
clothes. He was serving him like how a butler would serve his master. Seeing hering out, he
turned around and looked at Stuart. Stuart understood. He put down the clothes in his hand and
said hello to Raeleigh. Then, he turned around and went outside.
The door of the guest room was closed, and Raeleigh turned her eyes to watch Jepherson, who
was still bare- chested, with his buttons still unfastened.
Raeleigh turned her face away and tried not to look at Jepherson''s body, even if it was indeed
perfect.
Raeleigh fixed her gaze on the door, trying not to think about Jepherson''s body. She did not know
what was going on. It was as if Jepherson''s body possessed a kind of magical power that attracted
Raeleigh. She couldn''t help but to turn around and
take a look.
But just as Raeleigh tried to peek again, Jepherson had already put on his clothes and got out of
the bed.
Raeleigh turned her face and gazed at the TV. A strange line came into her mind, but soon the line
disappeared.
Jepherson also felt that Raeleigh wasn''t looking at him. She was thinking about something else.
However, he didn''t say anything. He wanted to give Raeleigh enough space.
