Chapter 1152


    It was a famous romantic movie, and it happened to be airing at the right moment. Raeleigh and


    Cynthia were so immersed in the movie that they had even forgotten to eat the popcorn, especially


    Cynthia, who had burst into tears.


    Santiago took a piece of tissue out and helped Cynthia wipe her tears away. Cynthia was absorbed


    in all the crying and couldn''t be bothered to react to it. Then, he reached out and brushed her nose


    gently. "Don''t cry. It affects others and makes my heart ache for you."


    Santiago hugged Cynthia andforted her before letting go. It was only then she felt embarrassed


    and stopped crying to continue watching the movie.


    Raeleigh, who was sitting on the other side of Santiago, was also invested in the movie, but not to


    Cynthia''s level. Perhaps it was because of the environment she had grown up in. She did not share


    the same views in love as the others. Raeleigh did not like the female lead in the movie. She felt


    that the female lead was a coward and was willing to suffer and bear everything her family had


    brought upon her.


    However, Cynthia was different. She was born into a wealthy family and lived a different life


    compared to others.


    The person in the movie was a nobledy abandoned by her family, and that was the reason for her


    sad ending. It was normal for Cynthia to share the same feelings with her, but Raeleigh did not like


    it.


    The more she was trapped in such a situation, the more she couldn''t give up.


    Santiago handed Cynthia the popcorn once she finallyposed herself as he coaxed her. Cynthia


    was probably embarrassed by the hug just then, so she remained silent, not shedding a single tear


    ever since then. The ending of the movie was slightly confusing, and no one knew what happened


    to the characters.


    Raeleigh felt a little tired after the movie. She was physically and mentally tired after sitting for two


    hours. She got up and exited the cinema hall, followed by Santiago and Cynthia.


    Raeleigh checked the time and realized that it wasn''t even twelve in the afternoon yet, but she


    wanted to return home.


    Raeleigh stood at the door and told Santiago, "I want to go home. Could you please send me


    home? After that, you can resume your date." "It''s about time I head home too. You can send me


    home before both of you return home together," Cynthia offered. In fact, there weren''t many ces


    they could visit as they would attract attention regardless of wherever they went. In fact, Cynthia


    was satisfied that they were able to watch that movie.


    "No, it''s alright. I..."


    "Stop talking. It''s now autumn. Let''s go to a ce where we can watch the leaves fall off the trees."


    Santiago turned around and walked towards the car. He swiftly got in and waited for the two of


    them. Raeleigh watched him as he sat in the car. If she did not leave, then it would seem like a p


    in Santiago''s face. So, she told Cynthia, "Let''s go."


    Cynthia remained silent and followed her to the car.


    Later, Santiago started the car and made his way to a resort. There was indeed a forest of fallen


    leaves in the back mountain of the resort. Once they arrived, both Cynthia and Raeleigh were a little


    surprised. They did not expect that it would be such a beautiful ce. The leaves were falling from


    the tree, and the gentle wind blew. There was even a bridge made out of bamboo.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Santiago was not surprised. That was not the first time he had been there. He began walking


    towards the mountain with his hands in his pockets while Cynthia and Raeleigh trotting behind him


    in awe.


    It was a short walk to the mountain, but Raeleigh was pregnant, so she walked slowly even though


    the road was rtively t.


    Cynthia took the initiative to talk to Raeleigh. Raeleigh felt that Cynthia could be considered a kind


    person. Although she talked to her only because of Santiago, Raeleigh knew that it was probably


    not easy for a person with her status to do it.


    "It''s so beautiful," Cynthiamented sincerely. Raeleigh nced at her and agreed. "Yes. It''s


    breathtaking."


    Santiago, who had been walking up ahead, decided to take a seat. The two women were walking


    too slowly, so he could only stop and wait.


    As Santiago waited, his face darkened. He stood up and looked downwards. Raeleigh could also


    sense that something was wrong. She, too, turned around and lowered her gaze to see a group of


    people running towards them. They seemed to be holding something in their hands.


    Raeleigh was quick to react. She hurriedly reached out for Cynthia and quickened their pace


    towards Santiago''s direction.


    Cynthia still had no idea that Raeleigh was pregnant. She turned around to look at those who were


    chasing after them as she ran. Raeleigh was wearing trousers, but Cynthia was wearing a long


    white dress. It was a perfect outfit to wear on a date, but right then, it seemed to be a burden.


    Santiago took two steps forward, shielding Raeleigh and Cynthia. He swept his eyes across his


    surroundings to see how many people there were.


    As though something had shed through his mind, Santiago informed Cynthia all of a sudden,


    "Raeleigh is pregnant. You must protect her."


    Cynthia was stunned for a moment before she immediately agreed to Santiago''s request. "I


    understand. Don''t worry. I''ll definitely protect her."


    Raeleigh was a little speechless. She wondered how a frail person like Cynthia could protect her?


    "I''m fine. Don''t worry about me. Who are they?" Raeleigh was unusually calm. She firmly believed


    that they were neither there for her, nor were they her enemies.


    She had known Xanthus for a long time, and she had never heard him talk about his enemy.


    Santiago snorted. "Who else could it be?"


    Cynthia slowly looked over and said, "Are you saying that Yanora sent them?"


    Santiago did not answer. He knew that there was no point in answering. They were sisters, and she


    was very clear about it. It was not the time to upset her.


    What did Yanora''s mistake have to do with Cynthia?


    Cynthia staggered. Raeleigh immediately held onto her hand. Cynthia initially had a glimmer of


    hope in Yanora since they were family.


    When Raeleigh felt Cynthia''s icy hands, she knew that such a blow could put Cynthia, who had


    grown up in a prominent family, in desperation.


    "We''re not sure whether it''s indeed her. Right now, we''re just going by our assumption. Well ask


    about it when we get back." Raeleigh did not know what else to say. She felt that she should not


    have asked the question earlier.


    Cynthia shook her head and said, "No, it''s not like that..."


    "Cynthia, take care of Raeleigh."


    Santiago spoke all of a sudden. Cynthia felt as if she had just awakened from a dream. She


    instantly came back to her senses and looked at Raeleigh as she held her hands, saying, "Don''t


    worry. I will not let anything happen to you."


    Raeleigh was speechless. Santiago was excellent at reading people''s minds.


    "I''ll be fine, so will you. He can handle it." Raeleigh briefly looked at Santiago. Cynthia nodded, but


    her face was still somewhat pale, and her heart was in destion.


    Then, those people with the sabres in hand were already charging towards Santiago.


    Cynthia was so scared that her hands began to tremble. However, she still did not let go of


    Raeleigh''s hand as they turned around and fled. "Let''s go. We must not let them catch up to us."


    Cynthia pulled her along. Raeleigh had no choice but to follow her. After a few steps, she stopped


    and said, "You don''t have to be nervous. He''ll be fine, so will we."


    Cynthia was so frightened that she had the urge to burst into tears. Raeleighforted her. "It''s


    useless to cry. It only proves that we''re weak. Even if we have to fight, we will not die."


    Cynthia stared at Raeleigh in a daze. Raeleigh fished her phone out of her pocket and called


    Scarlette to inform her of their location. Scarlette was immediately energized when she heard about


    their situation. She told Raeleigh, "Take care of yourself. Well be there soon."


    Raeleigh hung up the phone and held Cynthia''s hands. "Although we''re not good at fighting, we


    excel in other stuff. We must not let others underestimate us. We have to learn to protect


    ourselves."


    Cynthia stared at Raeleigh nkly. After a while, she came to her senses and nodded firmly.


    Raeleigh was amused by her reaction.
