Chapter 1242


    Jepherson didn''t let go of Raeleigh until it was evening. He leaned against her and said nothing.


    She looked at him in a daze.


    "Get up, let''s go for dinner." Jepherson got out of bed. Raeleigh didn''t say anything and continued to


    lie down.


    "Don''t you want to say something?" Jepherson sat back as Raeleigh looked at him. "We still broke


    up, you know?"


    Jepherson''s face darkened. "Why must we break up with each other? Isn''t this enough?"


    Raeleigh''s eyes turned red, and she almost cried. It was enough. But there was no need to


    continue.


    "I want to break up and live my own life. I only stayed with you because I didn''t have the money to


    study."


    Raeleigh wanted to leave, so she made up an excuse.


    Jepherson snorted, rolled his eyes at her, and he theny down on the bed.


    "If you don''t want to get up, then don''t. I don''t want to get up either." Heid still on one side of the


    bed. Raeleigh asked, confused, "Why do you have to do this?" "Raeleigh... I want a baby." Lying on


    the bed, he suddenly said that. Raeleigh stopped talking.


    Raeleigh got out of bed at around two o''clock. She quietly put on her clothes and was ready to


    leave. As soon as she walked towards the door, Jepherson opened his eyes and told her, "If you


    step out that door, then you''ll never leave me again."


    Raeleigh turned to look at him. "What the h*ll are you doing?"


    "Come inside, and let''s make it clear before you leave." He got up from the bed, put on his pants,


    and sat down on the couch.


    Seeing that he was serious, Raeleigh walked back and sat down.


    "I missed you from the moment you left the bed," Jepherson said this while leaning against the bed.


    Raeleigh stood up, moving to leave. But he held her hand and pulled her back. "Sit here."


    Raeleigh sat down further away and stared at him. His face looked a little pale. He always had a


    lousy appetite and slept poorly. It had been almost a month then. He had lost a lot of weight. He


    also said that if he had to do it again, then he would not be able to. He felt like he was in his


    seventies.


    He had no energy left, so she leaned against him.


    Raeleigh was staring at him, but he didn''t notice.


    "Well... do you really want to leave me?"


    Raeleigh didn''t answer. Jepherson''s eyes looked profound and shone sharply.


    "You can leave, but you have to let me get used to it. Also... the Richards Group won''t let their


    contracted intern go halfway through her program. You signed it and epted a schrship from


    them. That includes travelmitments. Otherwise, thepany will hold you ountable. You


    won''t be able to go down that road then."


    "The Richards Group is a powerful force in the business world. They can easily cut you off."


    Raeleigh listened for a while. "If that is your decision, then I will quit car design from now on."


    Jepherson gritted his teeth. He had never met such a cold- blooded woman before. He would never


    agree to that.


    "I didn''t say that I''d kill you. I only said that I could. If I wanted to kill you, then I would have done so


    right now." Was there a need to wait?


    Raeleigh''s clothes had been getting tighter and tighter. She had been eating a lot more when she


    had free time. She looked plump and curvaceous, which made him feel dizzy whenever he looked


    at her.


    He picked up her coat and covered her with it. "Put it on. It''s cold here."


    Raeleigh put her coat aside and said, "If you have something to say, then say it. I need to head


    back."


    "Let''s make a deal. When the contract expires, stay with me. I can give you the space and freedom


    you want, but you can''t be with any other men. You can continue to travel. I can give you the fame


    you seek, and you can keep it when you''re done. I won''t force you to stay."


    His offer was enticing enough. Raeleigh didn''t think it would get any better. Jepherson wanted her


    body, and she understood that.


    Raeleigh didn''t answer. She just looked at him as she thought about something.


    "Rae..." Jepherson reached out to hold her hand and said, "I''ll get awyer. I''ll be going now."


    "No." Jepherson held her from behind. He wanted to resolve this issue. He didn''t want to be in this


    stalemate with her.


    But Raeleigh wanted to leave and didn''t think about anything else.


    "I know I''ve hurt you. Raeleigh... give me another chance, we can start over."


    "We need to be calm about this. Grandma was right. We are not suited for each other. When


    something happens, we tend to go to the extremes. We don''t know each other very well. We like to


    solve problems on our own."


    "In fact, I had found out much earlier that I wasn''t your sister. I didn''t tell you, but I kept quiet about


    it, and I thought I would get rid of the baby."


    "I didn''t hate you when I had a miscarriage. I hated myself, very, very much."


    "Because I didn''t want to, if I took it to heart, then I would have misunderstood our rtionship. I


    finally knew the truth, but I didn''t tell you. How pathetic... Even if I did tell you, you wouldn''t have


    believed me."


    "You knew that when you misunderstood me. I was trying to tell you the truth, you know?"


    "But you hid it in your heart and didn''t see how overwhelmed I was."


    "Jepherson... I''m so afraid. I couldn''t give you a sense of security, nor could you for me. I just want


    to go back to the past, to the beginning. I missed who we were back then. Now, we are no longer


    like that."


    Raeleigh pushed his hand away and walked out of the hotel. The wind that day was very cold, but it


    wasn''t cold for her as she came down, as she only felt cold in her heart.


    When it came to love, it was not easy to say who was right or wrong. They were like children


    learning something new. When one went to ss on the first day, one didn''t know what to say. Even


    if one thought one was right, the teacher would still say it was wrong and one would be corrected.

    Everyone was helpless, and so was she.


    She just took it as a lesson for herself and ended it.


    As Raeleigh stepped out of the hotel, Stuart chased after her. However, he didn''t realize that


    Raeleigh was in a hurry, nor did he dare to force her to stay.


    Outside the hotel, Raeleigh remembered something and turned to look at Stuart.


    "Stuart, tell your boss this. Just say that I said that the car I designed is a limited edition design. If it


    is issued all over the world, then you can definitely make a lot of money if you don''t have much to


    spend on it. It won''t be a problem to gain some exposure. I''m going to get Lamarre to be my


    mechanical designer. We will design this car together. I think this is a car that is representative of a


    new age. It is worth being a part of any collection. I hope you can help me convey this message."


    "I don''t want the car, I don''t want the design, and I''ve decided to work with him. If he agrees, then I


    will produce the car."


    Raeleigh then turned around and walked away. The Osteen family car was parked outside. She was


    relieved to see her bodyguards.


    She walked to the front of the car and got in. The driver started the car and drove off. Along the way,


    she kept thinking about Jepherson''s listless face.


    As she arrived at the manor, Raeleigh had just got off the car when she saw Xanthus walking out


    and was waiting for her at the door. Not knowing how to exin herself, Raeleigh walked over and


    pursed her lips.


    Xanthus lowered his head and told Raeleigh, "You must have fallen asleep during your meeting. It''s


    good that you''re back."


    Raeleigh raised her head to look at Xanthus. He smiled, took Raeleigh by the shoulder, and led her


    in.
