Chapter 966
The driver drove the car away. Jepherson gave a call to Santiago. At that time, Santiago was
yawning as he walked out of the university. He talked as he walked, "Next time, can you please
drop her off a littleter? It''s way too early."
Jepherson sneered. "If you don''t want the old man to know that you''re back, then it''s best if you
behave yourself."
"Old man?" Santiago grabbed a handful of his hair. "How old is he?"
"You usually call him that, don''t you?" Jepherson turned his face and looked outside. To be honest,
their father was rtively young.
If the three of them stood together, people would think that they were brothers instead of father and
sons.
Old man?
Jepherson smiled.
"Yes, I do call him that because I''m much younger than you," Santiago said as he quickly walked
out.
Jepherson was silent for a while. Then, he said, "Please take good care of Raeleigh for me. Do not
let anything happen to her."
"You should have brought her with you then."
Santiago walked over to Raeleigh and
immediately blocked her way. She raised her head
and was surprised to find Santiago up so early.
Santiago raised his hand and held Raeleigh''s arm, standing in front of her, not allowing her to leave.
There was no sound on the phone. The conversation between the two brothers had reached a
stalemate.
"Don''t worry about her. I promise I will take care of her," Santiago said as he hung up the phone and
shoved the phone into his pocket. He raised his eyebrows as he looked at Raeleigh and said, "I
genuinely don''t understand what my brother sees in you. You''re stubborn as hell."
"I don''t understand either. Are you sure you''re rted to Jepherson? Why are the two of you so
different from each other?" Raeleigh pulled a long face.
"If I''m not rted to him, then do you think I will be this good looking?" Santiago turned around and
walked forward. Raeleigh followed Santiago and asked, "What are you doing being up so early?"
It was still quite early in the morning. Not a single soul was around them. Not even those early birds
who usually woke up early in the morning to work out.
"It''s not that I want to. My brother asked me to.
Why would I voluntarily wake up at the crack of
dawn?" Santiago chuckled.
Raeleigh did not speak at first. She walked with Santiago for a while and she then asked, "You
seem to have a good rtionship with your brother."
"I''m not too sure about that. But then again, he is my brother. I can''t betray him. We are family, after
all. If he bullies me, then I will definitely fight back. It''s what brothers do. At the critical moment,
uniting against the outside world is a promise we stand by together."
Santiago spoke as he walked. As they walked past a big tree, he sprang to his feet and plucked a
leaf for Raeleigh.
"It''s beautiful, isn''t it?" Santiago lowered his head to look at Raeleigh. She held the leaf in her
hands. She did not understand why he had given her the leaf.
However, the leaf was quite beautiful. She nodded earnestly.
Santiago smiled and turned around to walk away. While walking, he said, "Women should smile
more. You should not pull a long face every time, it''s not pleasing to the eyes. It''s as if you''ve
umted so many worries that you can''t get
rid of them."
Raeleigh did not say anything, but she was very surprised that Santiago knew so many things.
Sometimes, even she herself could not understand herself, but Santiago could.
After walking for a while, Santiago continued, "When you''re with Jepherson, you must behave like
when you''re with me. Untie the knot in your heart. Perhaps..."

Santiago turned around to look at Raeleigh, who stopped to look at him. Then, he said, "You will
discover something else."
Raeleigh did not say anything. She just looked at Santiago. Santiago looked around and said, "He
has never liked anyone. You are the only one. If you have feelings for him, then neither the Richards
family nor Deanna will be a problem."
"I just can''t bring myself to do it," Raeleigh said as she continued walking towards the dormitory.
Santiago pulled Raeleigh''s hand and they stood face to face. Santiago said to her, "Which part?"
"Deanna, my identity, your family."
"You''re very smart. You know there is a distance between the two of you, but you do know that he
will not give up, right?" Santiago continued walking towards the dormitory. Raeleigh followed him at
an unhurried pace. When they arrived,
Santiago stood at the door and said, "I''ll watch you
from here. I''ll wait for you in the cafeteriater.
You should stay away from Deanna in the future."
Raeleigh was speechless. These two brothers were quite different from each other.
"You can head back to your room now." Raeleigh turned around and went up to her dormitory.
Santiago knew that he would not be able to fall back asleep after being woken up so early in the
morning. So, he decided to take a stroll for a while and found a big tree to lean against.
As soon as Raeleigh entered her dormitory, she was held up by Deanna.
Deanna did not have a good night''s sleep when she realized that Raeleigh did note back the
previous night. She opened her eyes as she emerged from under the quilt and looked at Raeleigh
with pain in her eyes.
"Raeleigh, where were youst night? It''s not good to spend the night out," Deanna said as she sat
up in her bed. Raeleigh said as she closed the door and went back to bed, "I went to find Santiago."
"Raeleigh, I''m so disappointed with you. I don''t like you anymore," Deanna said, sulking.
Raeleigh walked over to her bed and sat down for a while. When Scarlette realized what was going
on, she immediately got out of bed and made her
way to the bathroom.
There was no one else in the dormitory. Deanna got out of bed and looked at Raeleigh as she said,
"My brother loves you so much. I have never seen him so infatuated with someone before.
Raeleigh, don''t you see that my brother likes you? He has reached the point where he is incapable
of tearing himself away from you."
Raeleigh looked at Deanna, feeling extremely helpless.
After a pause, Raeleigh said, "But I''m not in love with Zorion." Deanna left the bed, walked over to
Raeleigh, and sat down. She reached out for her hands and said, "If you''re not in love with him,
then does it mean that you hate him?"
Raeleigh said nothing. Indeed, she did not hate Zorion, but so what?
"Raeleigh, if you don''t say anything, then it means that you do not hate him. Since you do not hate
him, then why can''t you get together with him?"
"Deanna, do you hate Santiago?" Raeleigh asked, after thinking for a long time. Deanna
immediately said with a tense face, "Santiago is not a good person. He is a yboy. He likes many
girls. And he has been bad news ever since he was a kid. Even Uncle Hansen said that he
sometimes crosses the line."
"But I think Santiago is not as bad as you said. You might have misunderstood him."
"Even if it''s a misunderstanding, so what? He''s a womanizer. What do you like about him? You''ll
regret it in the future."
"If Santiago likes you, then will you like him back?" It was just a hypothetical question. Deanna
stood up and said, "I dare him to court me. I''m sure my brother will bash him up if he finds out."
Raeleigh felt helpless. She sat up after a while and said, "Look at how violent you are! Why don''t
you change out of your pyjamas? Let''s go and brush our teeth."
"Oh, wait for me." Deanna immediately changed out of her pyjamas and followed Raeleigh to the
bathroom.
After waiting for Scarlette toe back, they went straight to the cafeteria together.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Deanna kept looking around for Santiago. She breathed a sigh
of relief when he was nowhere to be seen.
"Who are you looking for?" Raeleigh asked Deanna. She shook her head and said, "I was just
looking for Zorion."
While they were talking, Zorion and Santiago came in through the door. Deanna smiled brightly
when she saw her brother. However, when she saw Santiago, her face immediately became
gloomy.
Theer of Scarlette''s mouth twitched when she saw how quickly Deanna''s mood changed.
