Chapter 989
Raeleigh was carried into the car. Jepherson then sat in the car with a cold look on his face.
Raeleigh sat beside him. Her head was lowered, as she looked like she was thinking of something.
As Stuart got into the car, he cast a nce at Raeleigh from the rearview mirror and asked the
driver to start the car.
When the car left, Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. She was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Not long after, the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel. Stuart hurriedly got out of the car to open
their door. Jepherson went out and walked into the hotel without waiting for Raeleigh.
Stuart opened the door on Raeleigh''s side, inviting her to step out.
"Miss Anson, Mr. Jepherson has always had a bad temper. Go quickly." Stuart kindly reminded her.
The driver was also worried.
Raeleigh got out of the car with hesitation. She took a look at the top of the building. Then, she
stepped into the hotel.
The manager of the hotel nodded to Raeleigh and said, "Have a great stay, Miss Anson."
Raeleigh cast an inexplicable look at the manager.
Did it look like she would be having a great stay
right then?
The manager nodded politely and smiled very kindly.
After ncing around, Raeleigh turned around and walked into the elevator.
The manager breathed a sigh of relief behind her. Although Mr. Jepherson was very angry, it
showed that he truly cared about thisdy named Raeleigh.
No matter what the reason was, it was a good thing for him.
If the two ended up married, this hotel would be the ce where the two of them will be betrothed to
each other. At that time, the value of this hotel would be doubled, and he could imagine that he
would be promoted.
As Raeleigh was about to step into the elevator, Stuart received a phone call.
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Jepherson." Stuart hung up the phone and looked at Raeleigh,
embarrassed. "Miss Anson, this way please."
Raeleigh looked in his direction strangely. Stuart was walking towards the stairs. Raeleigh followed
him, staring at the stairs in a daze. Was Jepherson asking her to climb up the stairs?
Stuart lowered his head and said, "Although Mr.
Jepherson''s temper has always been stable, he
can be unpredictable at times. Miss Anson, don''t
provoke him."
Even Stuart knew about Jepherson''s temper.
Raeleigh understood.
"Tell him I refuse to climb up the stairs. This is too much." Raeleigh had a good temper. Even if she
usually swallowed insults and humiliation, she would not be able to do this.
Raeleigh was very clear about the height of this building. It was easier for her to jump into the sea
than to walk up the stairs.
Raeleigh wore no expression on her tensed face. After taking a look at the stunned Stuart, she
turned around and walked away arrogantly.
Stuart hurried to catch up with Raeleigh from behind, trying to negotiate with her. "Miss Anson, how
about taking the elevator to the floor just before the top floor and only climbing thest flight of
stairs?"

Raeleigh kept on walking with no expression on her face. She went straight to the door. The
manager lowered his head and didn''t dare to go forward.
Raeleigh went out to catch a cab. She wanted to leave.
"Miss Anson, think about it. He usually treats you so well since..."
Stuart kept mumbling. Raeleigh stopped a car and left. In the car, Raeleigh called Scarlette. She
wanted to ask Scarlette to ask Santiago to take her things back from Deanna.
"Raeleigh..." Raeleigh hung up the phone before Scarlette could say something.
On the top floor of the hotel.
Jepherson was standing by the window, crossing his arms.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, Jepherson looked at it, raising his eyebrows. He knew
no one would be stupid enough to take the stairs up.
Jepherson went to the door and opened it personally. As a result, he saw Stuart standing outside.
"Where is Raeleigh?" Jepherson''s face was gloomy, and Stuart immediately said, "Miss Raeleigh
said she''s going back first."
Stuart did not dare to speak up about what Raeleigh had said.
Jepherson frowned. "What did she say?"
Stuart hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Anson refused to climb up the stairs."
"What about you? Are you an idiot?" Jepherson
gritted his teeth. Stuart begged bitterly. "I''ve
already told Miss Anson toe up from the
elevator and climb up thest floor."
Jepherson''s face darkened. "Do you wish to climb the stairs too?"
"Mr. Jepherson, please believe me. Later on, I told her that she could take the elevator, but Miss
Anson insisted on leaving. If you don''t believe me, then you can ask the manager."
Stuart was miserable.
Jepherson didn''t care about that. He pushed Stuart harshly, turned around, and went out. He
entered the elevator and pushed the down button, ignoring Stuart.
Stuart went to another elevator, wanting to reach the first floor before Jepherson.
Raeleigh got out of the taxi and went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. As a result, when
she arrived home, Jepherson was already there.
Jepherson stood outside, waiting for Raeleigh. He did not enter her home. Jepherson looked at her
under the moonlight. She hesitantly walked towards him.
"Why did you leave?" Jepherson gritted his teeth.
Raeleigh didn''t answer. She knew that he was aware, so she did not want to answer him.
She walked past him and headed to the door. Jepherson followed behind her. As they walked, he
reached for the groceries in her hands. "Give them to me."
Raeleigh did not need his help. "I can handle it on my own."
"Did I say it''s troublesome?" Jepherson''s expression turned cold as well.
Raeleigh did not spare him a nce and went straight in. When she entered, she called for her
grandmother.
Novalie was happy to hear that her granddaughter was back, but she didn''t know why Raeleigh was
backte.
There was another person with Raeleigh too.
"Oh, Mr. Richards, it''s you!" Novalie immediately invited him in politely. At that time, Jepherson said,
"Grandma, I''ve been here several times, and I''ve lived here before. You can just call me
Jepherson."
"Really?" Novalie didn''t want to address him so casually, as she saw her granddaughter''s gloomy
expression.
Jepherson smiled and said, "Yes, it''s fine."
Novalie did not pressure the matter further. She just said, "Come in."
Raeleigh picked up the ingredients that she bought, changed her shoes, and went inside.
Jepherson also changed his shoes and went inside. Raeleigh went straight to the kitchen without
saying anything to Novalie.
Jepherson went to talk to Raeleigh in the kitchen, but Raeleigh was still mad at him. She kept a
straight face and proceeded to cook with her head down.
Novalie was sitting outside. She did not care about what happened in the kitchen.
Jepherson didn''t say anything. Raeleigh stayed silent too. They were all thinking about different
things. Finally, Raeleigh said, "You should stay away from me. It''s good for both of us."
"What if I told you I can''t leave you?"
Can''t leave?
Raeleigh felt that there was nothing in the world that she could not leave.
She nced at Jepherson and said, "There is always a way."
"I don''t want to leave. Why should I leave?"
Raeleigh went on to serve the dishes and didn''t want to talk about it anymore.
Novalie was waiting for dinner when they walked
out of the door. When she saw the two of them
Jepherson sat down and leaned towards Novalie. However, his eyes were fixed on Raleigh''s. He
knew that there were things that needed to be done quickly.
"Grandma, I want to establish a rtionship with Raeleigh. What do you think?" Jepherson''s words
hit Raeleigh hard like a thunderbolt.
Raeleigh almost lost her bnce. When sheposed herself, she gulped and walked over to put
down the tableware in her hands. Then, she fixed her eyes on Jepherson.
He smiled and calmly waited for her next move. Raeleigh took a look at her grandmother while
pursing her lips.
Novalie then said, "Raeleigh has not graduated yet. She is still a little too young. Besides, this is
between you two. Why are you asking me? I am confused."
Once Novalie finished her words, it was as if Jepherson had been struck by lightning!
