Raeleigh resisted, but…


    Faced with a man like Jepherson, resistance was futile.


    So, in the end, he still got his wish and they remained as a couple. He even deepened his kiss and urgently pestered her.


    Raeleigh doubted whether it was true that everyone in the world behaved like this. As long as a man had savage desires, the woman would give in eventually.


    She didn’t know if others were safe from this, but in her case, she wasn’t.


    Although she deeply hated her weak character, she calmed down after Jepherson kissed her.


    “Let’s go for a walk. We didn’t have a good look aroundst time. Let’s do that tonight.” After saying that, he took her outside. She stared at the bright moonlight for a few minutes when she stepped out. Then, she called Xanthus and exined the situation.


    “I’lle and pick you up.”


    Xanthus hung up right after and Raeleigh sent him a grateful message.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    But in the very next moment, the phone in her hand had been snatched away. Jepherson had taken the phone as his own.


    He answered the phone and said, “Raeleigh can leave, but I have something to tell her right now. I’ll call you in ten minutes.”


    After that, he hung up the phone.


    “What did you want to say?”


    Raeleigh was about to get angry. Faced with his constant harassment, anyone else would have copsed by then. Raeleigh thought she just might soon.


    “You siblings don’t want other people to know.” His tone was calm and carefree, which made herugh. Suddenly, she understood. “Are you threatening me?”


    “I can’t stop threatening you. I just can’t help it.”


    Raeleigh pursed her lips. “I think you are just way too much.”


    “If you want to leave, then I won’t stop you. Don’t worry about anything I said.”


    Jepherson turned around and looked away. “If you promise to stay with me and give me another chance, then I’ll promise to keep it a secret. Otherwise…”


    Raeleigh wanted to pounce on him and kick him around. She knew that he might not actually do that. After all, she didn’t think of him as a despicable person, having known him for so long. But in the face of love, especially those who were overwhelmed by love, who knew what he might do?


    Raeleigh was silent for a moment. “I promised to stay with you, but I will only do so for three months. If I still can’t forgive you after these three months, then we’ll break up for real.”


    “That’s enough.” The corners of Jepherson’s lips curled up into a smile. He wiped the end of his sleeve. He was in a much better mood.


    He raised his hands for a stretch, and he then turned around to look at Raeleigh. “Call your brother and tell him to stay here tonight.”


    “I want to go home tonight.”


    “You are my girlfriend.”


    …


    Raeleigh fell silent and followed them out. Jepherson pulled her back into his arms. “What are you doing? Are you going to break your promise already?”


    “I never regret what I’ve promised.” Raeleigh stared at him with profound eyes.


    Jepherson’s lips curled up into a smile. “Then, are you bringing me back with you?”


    “Sure.” Raeleigh rolled her eyes and pushed him away.


    Jepherson hugged her. “My Grandma is in poor health. I want to stay and keep an eye on her. I can’t go back with you.”


    “Then, I’ll go back by myself.”


    Jepherson’s eyes looked deep. “I’ll walk you out.”


    Raeleigh didn’t answer.He thought that it was alright to send her away, as she had promised to be with him for the next three months.


    Raeleigh remained indifferent to him. He released her from his hug. He then held her hand, and walked towards the courtyard of the Green Jade Garden. When they stepped out of the door, her car was ready, so he took Raeleigh towards the car and held her the entire way there.


    Raeleigh tried to move away, but he held her close, as though they were joined in the hip.


    Raeleigh couldn’t understand what his n was. In her view, this was just a meaningless attempt, as they’d break up sooner orter.


    Like a pair of mismatched shoes, when forced into a rtionship she didn’t want to be in, it would never work out. Even if she did care about it, it still wouldn’t work as she couldn’t stand him.


    But Jepherson didn’t seem to understand this, so much so thatfrom the beginning to the end, he would be a constant annoyance.


    When the car arrived at the entrance of the residence, Stuart got out of the car and opened the door. Raeleigh made her way to the car. Only then did Jepherson finally let go of her.


    Looking at her, Jepherson asked, “Are you leaving just like that?”


    “What then? Did you expect me toe down and have some coffee?”


    Raeleigh didn’t think that she should say anything else. What else could she say to someone like him?


    “Coffee?”


    Jepherson wanted tough. It was such a blessing to meet a woman like her who had cultivated such a personality.


    “Stuart, let’s go.”


    Stuart closed the door, turned around, and bowed towards Raeleigh before she left.


    After Raeleigh finally got far away from the building, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned back.


    There was no one at the front door. Raeleigh was about to make a phone call when a car drove over to her. Raeleigh looked at it carefully. It was Xanthus’s car.


    The door opened and Xanthus drove the car close to her. Both of them went back to the vi together.


    Raeleigh neither brought up Jepherson’s threat, nor did she want Xanthus to worry about her. She just said that she would give him another chance.


    “I don’t object to that, but you have to take good care of yourself. I can’t watch out for you all the time.”


    Xanthus missed the days when Santiago was still around. At the time, her safety was guaranteed and she wouldn’t be threatened like she was then.


    After a day of rest, Raeleigh went to thepany. Xanthus dropped her off at thepany as usual. When he arrived, he watched her go in and then left.


    Raeleigh stepped into the building. As she walked into the elevator, Ste walked in from the entrance and greeted her with a smile.


    Raeleigh didn’t respond. She turned around and looked at the elevator. They worked on the same floor. It was inevitable for them to arrive and leave at the same time.


    As the elevator went up, Ste took the initiative to say, “Grandma is ill. Jepherson is taking care of her at home.”


    It was just the two of them in the elevator. Raeleigh knew that Ste was talking to her, but she didn’t respond. When the elevator doors opened, she stepped out first. Ste reached out as though she wanted to pull her back, but what happened waspletely not what she had expected. She fell down in the elevator.


    “Ah!” Ste eximed. Having found the monitor of the elevator, she picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the security guard toe up.


    Raeleigh turned around and watched Ste slowly pick herself up. She mbered up and leaned to one side of the elevator. She was crying. She looked so pitiful, like a rose that was about to wither away.


    Raeleigh looked at her. “Are you alright?”


    Ste shook her head, as if to say that she was fine. Raeleigh thought that since she was fine and didn’t want to have anything to do with Ste, she should just leave.


    Raeleigh turned around and walked away, leaving Ste alone.


    Because of this, Ste was admitted into the hospital. Everyone in thepany talked about her and started spreading rumors about her and Raeleigh.


    “What’s worse is that she doesn’t have anything to herself and wants to be rich. She’s worried that Jepherson will find a new lover and make things difficult for her…”


    Raeleigh heard all this while she was in the restroom. She was already done with work for the day. When she stepped out, everyone rolled their eyes at her and left.


    Raeleigh washed her hands and left the bathroom. She was hit by someone when she stepped out.


    Raeleigh looked around and realized that it was a female colleague from the design department. She was about thirty years old. She didn’t know who she was, but she didn’t understand why she would bump into her!
