Chapter 1088
"We are friends," Santiago said. Raeleigh stopped and looked at Santiago. "Do friends stay upte
at night to talk to each other?"
"Who told you that friends don''t stay upte at night to talk to each other?" Santiago knew what to
say. Raeleigh was no match for him, so she kept quiet.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a quiet ce. Raeleigh suddenly remembered something
and asked Santiago, "Where is Deanna?"
"She was taken away by Scarlette."
"Oh."
"You''re not allowed to be alone with Flynt next time. Sometimes I feel like you''re dumb. You never
learn from your mistakes," Santiago said to Raeleigh. Raeleigh said unhappily, "Hey, don''t forget
that I''m your sister- in-w. I''m two years older than you. How dare you talk to me like this?"
"I really have no idea what to do with a sister-inw like you. If I could choose, then I wouldn''t have
chosen you to be my sister-inw."
Raeleigh frozepletely. She felt that Santiago did not think before he spoke, how irritating it was.
Raeleigh turned around and continued walking, ignoring Santiago. She did not even bother looking
at him.
To Raeleigh, meeting Santiago was like a schr bumping into a warrior. She was never able to
reason with such a person. She would unable to win an argument with him. There wasn''t anyone
who could defeat him. She felt especially helpless around him.
Raeleigh had never lost to anyone ever since she was young. Santiago was an exception.
When they arrived back at the campus, Raeleigh found a bench and sat down. Then, she started
reading the business book in her hand.
Santiago, on the other hand, was leaning against a tree with his hands shoved in his pockets. He
looked up at the sky and enjoyed the warm afternoon sunshine. The warm breeze blew away
Raeleigh''s hair band, leaving her long ck hair flowing in the wind. Her hair gently caressed her
face. Santiago closed his eyes while basking in the sun. He looked as if he was asleep. Raeleigh
kept on fiddling her hair, trying to tuck it behind her ears as she looked all over for her hair band.
After finding it, Raeleigh sat down and continued reading her book.
Time flew past and soon, night fell.
Santiago''s cell phone suddenly rang. Only then did he open his eyes and sit down. Raeleigh looked
at Santiago calmly and asked, "Were you asleep?"
Santiago did not answer. He took out his phone and checked the caller ID. Then, he answered the
phone and brought it to Raeleigh''s ear. Jepherson''s deep, elegant, and attractive voice came from
the other end of the line. "Bring Raeleigh home now. There''ll be heavy traffic on the road once it
getste."
Raeleigh frowned and looked at Santiago. She did not answer Jepherson. Jepherson continued on
the phone. "Don''t drive too fast. Raeleigh has been in a bad mood recently. She gets nervous very
easily."
While Jepherson was talking on the phone, Raeleigh began to feel pressured again.
When Santiago saw Raeleigh''s change of facial expression, he took away the phone and stood up.
He paced in front of Raeleigh and said, "I know. I''ll send her right back now."
Santiago put his phone away and looked at Raeleigh. Her face was drained out of color. She sat on
the bench in a daze.
Santiago walked over and took her business book away. Raeleigh raised her head to look at him
and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I should be the one asking you. What happened between you two?" Santiago asked as his face
darkened. Raeleigh stood up and said, "It''s nothing."
"If it''s nothing, then you should be happy to hear his voice. You would not look this pale."
Raeleigh snatched the business book back and said, "Stop meddling in other people''s affairs. What
do you know about me and Jepherson?"
Raeleigh held the business book and walked towards the school gate. Santiago followed her from
behind. They did not wait for Scarlette. They just got into the car and left.
When they arrived home, Raeleigh immediately got out of the car. Santiago took a look at Raeleigh
and followed her out of the car.
Jepherson hade home early to cook dinner.
Raeleigh could smell the food cooking as soon as she walked through the door. When Stuart saw
her, he immediately walked towards her and said, "Mr. Jepherson is in the kitchen. He has been
waiting for you for a long time."

Raeleigh put down the business book in her hand and made her way into the kitchen to see
Jepherson. She did not really know how to interact with him, so she just stood by the kitchen door
and watched him.
Jepherson seemed to know that Raeleigh was watching him. He smiled and said, "Why didn''t you
tell me that you''re home? Were you afraid of disturbing me?"
Raeleigh was stunned by Jepherson''s low and deep voice. She did not know when it started, but
she had be used to Jepherson''s deep and maic voice. She had been bewitched and
captivated by him.
Raeleigh entered the kitchen and made her way over to Jepherson''s side to see what he was
cooking. He was in the midst of making some fish soup. The soup was milky white and looked even
better than her cooking. It smelled so fragrant.
Jephersondled some soup and blew on it. Then, he put thedle by Raeleigh''s mouth and said,
"Here, have a taste."
Raeleigh nced at Jepherson and lowered her head to taste the soup. It was amazing.
"It''s delicious."
Jepherson smiled and said, "It''s a must for pregnantdies to take more calcium and fish is very
rich in calcium. You''re going to need to drink more soupter."
"You made this fish soup for me?"
"Of course. Who else would I make it for? Everyone else is strong and healthy. Why would I make it
for them?" Jepherson teased. Raeleigh was so moved by his gesture.
What right did she have to ask Jepherson, the young master of the Richards family, to cook for her?
"You didn''t have to do this, you know?" Raeleigh could not finish her words.
"I did not do this just for you. I don''t want my baby to be underweight when it''s born." Jepherson
lowered his head to kiss Raeleigh. She answered with a forced smile, "Alright."
"Alright? You sound so silly. Go out and wash your hands first. I''ll be out in a second."
Jepherson sent Raeleigh out. Then, he turned around and continued to cook. Raeleigh exited the
kitchen and washed her hands. After that, she took a seat at the dining table. Santiago was leaning
against a wall, observing Raeleigh, but she did not notice him.
Soon, Jepherson emerged from the kitchen and ced a bowl of fish soup on the table. Raeleigh
came back to her senses and looked at him. She stood up and wanted to offer some help but
Jepherson immediately told her to sit down.
"Sit down. Serra will help me." Jepherson turned around and went back into the kitchen. With
Serra''s help, it did not take long before the table was filled with dishes. There were a total of four
dishes and a bowl of soup. All of them smelled amazing.
Jepherson then went upstairs personally and brought the food to Raeleigh''s grandmother. Raeleigh
watched as he made his way upstairs and her mood immediately changed. Perhaps, it was time to
break the news. They had to face it nevertheless. It would be better than to think bitterly about it
then.
Raeleigh took a deep breath and was mentally prepared. She stared at Jepherson, who was
making his way down the stairs. She decided that she would talk about it the next day.
Jepherson made his way down the stairs and sat next to Raeleigh. They did not wait for Scarlette
and immediately began eating.
It was very quiet at the dining table since Zorion, Deanna, and Scarlette were not around.
Jepherson and Santiago sat across from each other, whereas Raeleigh sat beside Jepherson.
"You have to eat more fish, but be careful of the fish bones." Jepherson picked up some fish and put
it on Raeleigh''s te. She obediently ate the fish. On the opposite side, Santiago lowered his head
and asked, "Did you two have a falling out with each other?"
Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Santiago. Surely enough, Santiago was a person who did
not know how to keep quiet.
