Chapter 1774
Jepherson was stunned for a moment. He gave her a mystified smile and said, "I don''t mind if
you''re smelly."
Raeleigh remained unmoved and lowered her head to eat. Jepherson then poured a ss of white
wine.
Raeleigh watched as Jepherson filled his ss with wine. She asked worriedly, "Why are you
drinking?"
"Aren''t men supposed to drink?"
"Says who?"
"Me."
Raeleigh was speechless.
Jepherson took a sip of wine and ate some peanuts. Jepherson roasted the peanuts himself. He
once saw Jacky eat it like this, so he decided to try it himself.
The other dish was thinly sliced smoked meat. Raeleigh decided to try a piece.
However, just as Raeleigh ced the second piece in her mouth, she saw Jepherson take a sip of
the white wine.
"It''s not water, why are you drinking so much?"
Raeleigh was worried when she saw Jepherson drinking.
Raeleigh''s heart started pounding in her chest when she realised that there wasn''t anybel on the
bottle of wine.
This was the only white wine avable in Waverly Vige. In fact, these kind of wine tasted
authentic. It was also very intoxicating.
Raeleigh was worried when Jepherson finished an entire bottle. She wondered since when did he
start drinking so much?
Jepherson remained silent as he emptied his ss of wine. He clutched the wine bottle in his hand
and refilled his wine ss.
Raeleigh took a bite of the raviolis. "You''ll sleep down here tonight. At least, it''ll be easier if anything
happens to you."
"What could possibly happen?"
Jepherson drank the wine as if he was drinking water. Raeleigh felt suspicious. She wondered
whether the liquid in the wine ss was really wine or was it just water?
Jepherson seemed to have read Raeleigh''s mind. He dipped the end of the fork into the wine ss
and put it to Raeleigh''s mouth. She could smell the alcohol, but she was still a little suspicious of
Jepherson, so she opened her mouth and tasted Raeleigh''s face fell immediately. She stood up and
walked to the kitchen. She drank a mouthful of cold water and rinsed her mouth before returning to
the table.
She sat down and looked over at Jepherson. By then, he had already finished his ss of wine.
Raeleigh said, "If you keep on drinking like this, I''m not going to let you stay here. I''m not worried
about the thieves. I''m more worried about your antics."
Jepherson refilled his ss again and ced it on the table. Then, he took a small sip this time
before he started digging into the raviolis.
Raeleigh was relieved when she saw Jepherson eating.
Raeleigh felt that she could not keep on staring at Jepherson all the time. However, if she didn''t, he
would start drinking again.

By the time they finished their meal, Jepherson had already finished an entire bottle of white wine.
"I''ll head upstairs first."
Raeleigh did not stay to help him clean up because she felt that the whole situation seemed
strange. So, after she finished her meal, she immediately made her way upstairs. Jepherson stayed
to clean up the table. After that, he went into the room downstairs to sleep.
Raeleigh waited until nine o''clock. Jepherson still did not move, so she decided to head downstairs
to check on him. Only then she realized that he had fallen asleep.
Raeleigh took a coat and covered him with it. Just as she stood up, he reached out and wrapped his
arms around her waist. She looked up and saw that he was still asleep. It was his natural instinct to
pull her into his arms. He made a slight sound and then continued to sleep.
"Let me go." Raeleigh called. Jepherson slipped his hand under her clothes and gently stroked her
back, asionally pinching her back.
Raeleigh bit her lip and did not make a sound.
However, the less she spoke, the more relentless he was.
"Ah..."
Raeleigh gasped for air. Jepherson slowly opened his eyes, turned over and pressed her under him.
He did his best not to touch her left hand as much as possible.
Jepherson covered her with his body from head to toe. Then, he said, "You brought this on to
yourself. You can''t me me."
After saying that, Jepherson leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.
"Oh..."
Raeleigh woke up in the middle of the night and felt a slight headache. It was as if her entire body
was being squeezed.
She was in a lot of pain.
Jepherson was sleeping on one side. Raeleigh sat up in bed and looked over at him. She could tell
that he was exhausted as he slept peacefully on the bed. Raeleigh had no idea how much sleep
she got, but it was already dawn. She felt as if she hadn''t slept at all.
Raeleigh thought of getting out of bed, but she did not have the strength. Shey down and turned
over. Then, Jepherson hugged her from behind and kissed her.
"I''m feeling a little hot. Can you please let go of me?"
"How about now?"
Jepherson threw off the quilt and exposed their upper bodies. Raeleigh''s face fell. "Haven''t you had
enough?"
"What would you do if I said no? "
Raeleigh was speechless.
Raeleigh pulled the quilt over her body and closed her eyes without saying anything.
"Have you found them?"
"Yes, I found a woman called Lucy."
Geraldine sat on one side, with a hint of malice in her eyes. "Since Jepherson did this to me, then
don''t me me for being rude."
"Grandma, what are you going to do?"
Hanschel asked. Geraldine replied, "What do you think?"
"Grandma, I want to have a look."
"Then go ahead. Remember, don''t hurt yourself."
Geraldine still cared about this grandson. She was very close to Hanschel, plus he looked exactly
like her husband.
Hanschel walked up to them. Geraldine smiled lightly as she sat in her chair. No one could stop the
Doyle family from getting what they want, including the Richards family.
Since the Richards family provoked them first, they only had themselves to me.
Jepherson got up in the morning and received a phone call from Stuart saying that Lucy was
missing.
"How is it possible? Didn''t I tell you to keep an eye on her?"
"I did, but..."
Stuart was holding back. Lucy was pregnant.
Jepherson quickly stood up and Raeleigh asked, "What happened?"
"Lucy is in trouble."
As soon as she got up, Jepherson had already walked downstairs. Raeleigh immediately followed
him and asked, "What should we do? Where are you going?"
"I''m going to try and look for her."
Jepherson got into the car and left. Raeleigh stood at the door before she turned around and made
a call to Jacky.
"Alright. Don''t go anywhere. The safest ce right now is Waverly Vige."
Jacky had just woken up. He was still in bed with Deanna. They did not spend the night in Waverly
Vige.
Jacky immediately got out of bed. He put on his clothes and walked downstairs. Deanna wanted to
follow him, but he asked her to wait for him at home.
At this moment, everyone in the Whalen family had gotten up. When they saw Jackying
downstairs, Zorion asked, "What''s wrong? Why do you look so flustered?"
"Stuart''s wife is missing and she''s pregnant. It happenedst night, but he told us this morning."
"Last night?"
Zorion immediately picked up his phone and made a call as he walked out of the house with Jacky.
They each got into their cars and went their separate ways.
Rossie walked to the door and took a look. She was a little worried. She turned around and looked
at Rayan, who was sitting on the sofa. "Dad..."
"I know."
Rayan stood up and walked aside. After a pause, he picked up his phone and called someone
outside. "I''m Rayan. I need you to help me look for someone. I want this person alive. I don''t care
who the person is, they have to give me face this time. She is my goddaughter."
After hanging up, Rayan looked at Rossie. "You should know that the Doyle family will not take
actions without any reason."
