Chapter 1056


    "Here, eat more." As Raeleigh ate, Jepherson kept serving her more food. Raeleigh felt like he was


    making too big of a deal out of everything. She was merely pregnant. There were so many pregnant


    people around the world who got by just fine.


    Novalie said nothing. She simply ate her meal opposite them. After she finished eating, Jepherson


    went to wash the dishes. He did not want to let Raeleigh work too hard. He alone took care of the


    house chores. In fact, he had also hired a caretaker in her thirties to take care of Raeleigh when he


    was not around.


    Jepherson had also bought Raeleigh a house. The house was not far from her university, in a


    convenient and safe location. It was well-equipped with all the facilities one would need and its


    layout wasfortable. It was a two-storey house averaging more than 200 square meters on its


    first floor. There was a guest room and a study for Raeleigh to do her designing.


    Raeleigh was opposed to it. That night, she voiced her issues to Jepherson. She didn''t want to rely


    on her child to get by in life. People would point fingers and say that she used her child to get to


    where she was.

    "The house is not for you alone. It''s for our kid and your Grandma. Novalie is getting old. Plus, I


    don''t want Xanthus toe over all the time. Since you''re bearing my child, I can''t let you be


    wronged. I''m thinking about how to tell Novalie that you''re pregnant. I can''t bring you to Ink Garden


    right now. I wouldn''t be able to rest assured of your safety if you''re there."


    Jepherson knew that some things were out of his control. Anything could happen.


    Raeleigh sat on the bed without saying a word. This was her room. The caretaker hired by


    Jepherson was named Serra. A loyal and honest woman, she had been taking care of Santiago''s


    family and was loyal to the Richards family. Jepherson trusted her.


    At that moment, Serra was chatting to Novalie outside of the room, as Raeleigh was telling


    Jepherson about her not wanting to move. She had initially wanted to argue with him, but he had


    brought up Xanthus, so Raeleigh remained silent.


    Jepherson pulled Raeleigh over and sat down. He said earnestly, "This is our first child. I don''t want


    anything bad to happen. A bigger house can amodate a few more people. It won''t cause any


    problems if you don''t stay at the school dorms. You''re only a little more than one month pregnant


    now. Time passes quickly. Your belly will begin to show, and then what are we to do?"


    "Whew!" Raeleigh sighed.


    "You''re only neen years old, and you''re having my child. We''re still young, so I me myself


    sometimes. I didn''t think it over properly at first. I feel bad now."


    Jepherson pinched Raeleigh''s cheek, looking at her meaningfully. Raeleigh realized that


    sometimes, Jepherson could be extremely sullen. His mncholy could instantly take over him.


    "If I move there now, then what''s the status of the house? Will you give it to me?" Raeleigh


    ruminated for a long time, but Jepherson did not respond. "What do you mean?"


    Raeleigh thought over it and said, "I don''t need it. You have given me enough. If you give me money


    and property just because we''re a couple, then I can''t ept them. But I could consider it if it''s a


    reward from thepany."


    "What''s the difference?"


    Jepherson raised his eyebrows. Was this her way of being financially independent?


    Raeleigh said, "Of course it''s different. If you''re giving it to the child, then I won''t ept it as long as


    the child isn''t born yet. Love is a give and take process between equals. I don''t want your


    grandmother to use this as ammunition against me. If it was a reward from thepany, then I can


    design a car that can be immediatelyunched in return for it."


    Jepherson frowned. "In such a short time, you''re going to design a ready-to-sell car?"


    "Since Lanox got me a car, if I create another series, it will naturally get me the house, right?"


    "That makes sense."


    Jepherson gritted his teeth. Raeleigh was a force to be reckoned with.


    Raeleigh thought for a moment before she said, "You have seven days to prepare the house. The


    house must be ced under my name. I''ll create a car from the Lanox series for you."


    Jepherson grabbed Raeleigh gently and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and asked,


    "Is this necessary?"


    "I want our child to know that she has both a great father and mother."


    "Well, her mother feels much greater to me right now." Jepherson kissed Raeleigh and slowly


    deepened the kiss as he carried Raeleigh towards the bed. The two didn''t step out of her room the


    entire night. Raeleigh woke upte at night. Shey on her side and let out a soft sigh.


    "What''s wrong?" Jepherson woke up and ced his arms over Raeleigh as he leaned his head on


    her shoulder. He couldn''t bear sleeping in the same bed but not embracing her.


    Raeleigh said, "I feel a little sad leaving this ce. Besides, I have a lot of things here. I don''t know


    if I can take them all with me."


    "I can prepare a room for you to put all your stuff in."


    "Isn''t that just a showroom?" Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. In the darkness, he stared at her with


    furrowed eyebrows. "Well, do you want to put it all in your bedroom?"


    "No, I just think it''s a waste."


    Jepherson did not say anything in reply. He simply held Raeleigh in his arms, waiting for her to fall


    asleep.


    The next day, when Raeleigh woke up, she stared nkly at Jepherson, who was sleeping beside


    her. As she sat up, the quilt fell down on his waist, exposing his bare chest. Jepherson had one


    hand on his stomach, and the other on the bed. She observed him carefully. His eyshes were


    thick and his facial features were stunning. He gave off a unique aura even while asleep.


    Raeleigh leaned aside and let the sunshine from the window illuminate Jepherson. The beautiful


    sight of him sleeping soundly under the sunshine suddenly struck her with inspiration. Raeleigh


    turned around, took out a pen and piece of paper, sat down, and began drawing.


    Jepherson slowly pried his eyes open and observed Raeleigh, trying not to disturb her. He never


    realized how attractive an inspired person looked.


    Raeleigh put the final touches on her design after two hours. On the paper, there was a silver car


    with striking lines, portraying a feeling of wildness. The taillights of the car were prominent. Its lights


    shone like a rocket sting into space. The paper was divided into two sections. At the bottom was


    a drawing of the car''syout. The main illustration was the sleek beauty of the car.


    Raeleigh put down the pen, stood up, and looked around. She was shocked to see no one in the


    room.


    Seeing that Jepherson was gone, Raeleigh went outside. Jepherson was talking to her grandmother


    in the living room. Raeleigh stopped at the door, looked at him, and asked, "When did youe


    out?"


    Jepherson stood up, not looking too good. "From now on, you can''t sit still there for two hours. It is


    not good for both you and the child."


    After saying that, Jepherson went into Raeleigh''s room. Blushing, she stared nkly at his


    retreating back for a moment. She didn''t dare to look at her grandmother, so she hurriedly went into


    the room.


    She didn''t know what the problem was with Jepherson. When she entered the room, she found


    Jepherson staring at her illustration.
