Chapter 1052


    "The doctor says you''re pregnant," Jepherson repeated thrice as he held Raeleigh''s hand. Looking


    at Jepherson, Raeleigh did not know what she should feel. She had never imagined having a baby,


    but since it had happened, she did not want to abort her child either.


    To Raeleigh, a child was a gift from heaven. She could not end the child''s life before it had even


    begun.


    Raeleigh rubbed her belly and her gaze met Jepherson''s eyes. She said, "Even if your grandmother


    is against it, I will give birth to the child. I neither need a title nor any property, I just want the kid to


    have a happy life."


    As Raeleigh said that, thoughts of her younger self floated into her mind.


    She had been abandoned and had grown up in an orphanage. There, no one had ever visited her.


    Raeleigh thought to herself, her mother might have been in the same situation as she was in at the


    time, stuck with a child of a man whose family did not ept her. Hence, after she was born with


    great difficulties, she was sent to the orphanage. Perhaps, her mother had wanted to take her away


    and raise her, but misfortune had befallen her and people hade hunting for her, after her life...


    Numerous scenes yed out in Raeleigh''s mind. She suddenly felt grateful for her position in life.


    Since she was blessed with good fortune, she could not give up the child in her belly.


    Raeleigh patted her belly, with her hand still in Jepherson''s grasp. Jepherson kissed her and said,


    "No, since the child has already been conceived, my grandmother will agree to it for sure."


    "Jepherson Richards." It was the first time Raeleigh addressed him that way. Jepherson froze for a


    moment, knowing that she had something to say. He answered softly, "Yes, I''m all ears."


    Raeleigh mulled over it for a moment, and she then told him, "Promise me that you won''t tell your


    grandmother about the child until she epts me. I don''t know what sort of person she is. What if


    she hates me and antagonizes me? Marrying into money is like stepping foot into h*ll, or so my


    grandmother said. I had always been living a quiet life, but then you came into my life, for better or


    worse."


    "I don''t regret bearing your child. I wanted to, but..." "If your Grandma shuns me, and if you tell her


    that I''m pregnant with your child, and if she really cannot tolerate me, then she may take the baby


    away from me after I''ve given birth to him or her. I would go mad if that happens."


    Raeleigh didn''t intend to frighten Jepherson, but she had to make things clear. Only then would he


    be able to make the right decision.


    People all had different philosophies in life. No one could tell good from bad. People could all have


    good intentions, but with different ways of thinking about it, they would inevitably make different


    decisions. Raeleigh did not have any high expectations for her life. She just wanted a peaceful one.


    Jepherson gazed at Raeleigh, lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips. "My bad. I understand.


    No matter what, you and your child will have the best I can give. You can rest assured that no one


    will separate you two."


    Raeleigh heaved a sigh of relief. Holding onto Jepherson''s hand, she said, "You must be tired. Let''s


    rest. We can talk about everything else tomorrow."


    Raeleigh was really fatigued. All she could think about was to have a good night''s sleep.


    Only then did Jepherson get up. He closed the door and went to take a shower. After changing into


    comfortable pyjamas, he went to lie down beside Raeleigh, cuddling her. Both of them were


    restless. Even though they were lying on the bed, they did not sleep a wink all night. It was not until


    the early hours of the morning, when Raeleigh waspletely exhausted, that she fell asleep in


    Jepherson''s arms. The next morning, Jenna came to visit with some chicken soup. Raeleigh and


    Jepherson were embracing each other tightly, deep in sleep.


    Jenna peered at them from the outside. She liked Raeleigh more and more.


    As Raeleigh was not awake yet, Jenna didn''t enter the room. She sat outside and waited the entire


    morning. Hansen was already impatient by noon. Finally, when they were about to have lunch, he


    dialled Jepherson''s number to wake him up.


    Jepherson got up from the bed and looked at his phone. He immediately got out of bed to open the


    door.


    Jenna entered the room first, followed by Hansen, and made an immediate beeline for Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh had just pried her eyes open. Her body felt much better than it did the day before. Sitting


    up, she finally noticed Jenna.


    Jenna gave Raeleigh a sweet smile. She set down the container she had brought and opened it.


    "It''s tough birthing a baby. Some people don''t feel anything during their pregnancy while others


    suffer immensely. I''ve heard that the more difficult the pregnancy is, the more lovable the child is."


    Jenna served Raeleigh a bowl of the chicken soup and told her, "Drink up while it''s warm."


    Raeleigh was staring at Jenna. She could not understand. Wasn''t Jenna worried that her current


    husband wouldn''t be happy with what she was doing?


    Only God knew.


    Well, since she meant well, Raeleigh epted the bowl of soup and blew on it before taking a sip.


    Jenna sat down, looking Raeleigh up and down minutely. The more she looked, the more delightful


    Raeleigh seemed to her.


    "Jerry, when are you two getting married?" Jenna was excited. She reckoned that they shouldn''t


    wait for the child to be born to get married. That would be unfair to Raeleigh and the child.


    "We''re still considering that. I will talk to Dad about itter," Jepherson said. Raeleigh choked on a


    mouthful of soup and began to cough.


    Jenna stood up in a hurry, producing a tissue to wipe Raeleigh''s mouth. She took the bowl away


    from Raeleigh.


    "Take it slow. Was it too hot?" Jenna had not deciphered the true meaning of Raeleigh''s


    actions.


    Raeleigh looked at Jenna, and then looked at the men in front of her. Jepherson looked exactly like


    his father. Raeleigh was ovee with embarrassment.


    Raeleigh nced at Jenna''s youthful and beautiful face, bit her lip, and turned to look at Jepherson.

    Jepherson frowned. "Who did you think they were?"


    His tone made it clear that he was displeased.


    Raeleigh processed it for a moment, and she then asked, "How would I know? You never told me,


    did you?"


    "What''s wrong?" Jenna didn''t understand. Was this trouble in paradise?


    "Didn''t you tell her that we''re your parents?" Hansen asked.


    "I forgot," Jepherson replied as he walked to Raeleigh''s side and squeezed her hand. "It''s fine."


    How could Raeleigh be fine? She was speechless in front of Jepherson''s parents. She could only


    stare nkly and remain silent.


    The pressure on Raeleigh was mounting. Why had she met his parents that quickly?


    "Well, you two should talk outside. Raeleigh needs some peace and quiet." Jenna''s expression


    darkened as she drove the father and son out.


    Hansen traipsed out first and called for Jepherson. Jepherson closed the door on his way out.


    "Why the second thoughts about marriage?" Hansen was vexed, and it showed.


    "We still need to think about it. Raeleigh and I are both a little worried. Grandma doesn''t like


    Raeleigh," Jepherson and Raeleigh shared the same concerns. If Raeleigh had not reminded him of


    that, then he would have announced her pregnancy to the world in his tion. However, it was true


    that no one could predict what would happen.


    As Raeleigh said, they had to consider every possibility for the sake of their child.
