It was really true when people said time flies when you’re having fun.


    The next morning, Raeleigh did not want to get out of bed as she was exhausted fromst night’s activities.


    However, she was currently in the Richards Group Manor. People would notice if she stayed in bed.


    So, she made the difficult decision to get out of bed, but Jepherson pulled her back and said, “I don’t have any ns today. Let’s stay in bed a little longer.”


    “Just because you don’t have ns doesn’t mean that I don’t.”


    Raeleigh got out of bed and put on her clothes. Although she was still tired,she chose not to sleep in.


    Even if they got married in the future, she would still do the same thing.


    As Raeleigh got dressed, Jepherson sat up in bed and asked helplessly, “Are you worried that my grandparents would be unhappy?”


    With just a look, Jepherson knew exactly what Raeleigh was thinking.


    After putting on her clothes, Raeleigh made her way into the bathroom, disregarding Jepherson’s question.


    Thus, he got up and put on his clothes. He walked into the bathroom and held Raeleigh in his arms. “Come back to bed with me.”


    “No, you can go back to bed if you want.”


    Raeleigh looked at him through the mirror as she brushed her teeth.


    Only then did Jepherson kiss Raeleigh before stepping into the shower.


    Jenna was already awake by the time Raeleigh came out of the room. At this time, the servants were serving the food that the chef had prepared for breakfast. Raeleigh wanted to help, but Jenna pulled her aside and tried to persuade her to spend the New Year holiday with them.


    However, Raeleigh did not know how to turn down her invitation.


    After breakfast, she said, “I have some errands to run today, so I’ll be following Xanthus home. Have a great day.”


    Jenna did not expect that Raeleigh would be leaving so soon.


    However, deep down, she knew that Raeleigh was trying to avoid them.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Jenna was hoping that Jepherson would be able to persuade Raeleigh, but he did not say anything. Hence, Hansen mentioned that he was nning to head over to A city today.


    “Let’s head home to visit my father today.”


    Every year, Hansen would go back around this time to visit his parents.


    “Raeleigh, are you sure you don’t want toe with us? Actually, Marissa is an affable person. I’ll talk to her about you and Jerry today.”


    Jenna did not want to pressure Raeleigh and she knew Jenna meant well. However, Marissa was not the only reason she was hesitant on spending the holiday with them.


    “We’ve already promised my parents that we will spend the new years with them this year. This will be Raeleigh’s first new years with us and we were hoping that we could spend it as a family. I hope that you can understand.”


    Xanthus quickly exined to Jenna before Raeleigh could say anything. Jenna stared at Xanthus after hearing his exnation. What else could she say?


    Furthermore, Xanthus was very polite when exining to her. How could she be so shameless?


    Although Jenna was a little disappointed,she knew that there will be a chance in the future.


    This was only the beginning of Jepherson and Raeleigh’s rtionship and Jenna knew that there were better days ahead.With that, she could not rush things.


    Jenna then followed Hansen out the door. Before she left, she reminded Raeleigh thatshe was more than wee to visit them.


    Awkwardly, Raeleigh did not know what else to say besides telling her that she would try her best.


    After Jenna left, Raeleigh finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Raeleigh had heard of the term monster-inw before. Even though some parents were not as mean as Marissa, but she knew that most of them did not get along with their child’s significant other. However, Jenna was different. She treated her like her own daughter. Sometimes when Jenna went a long time without seeing her, she would cook up a feast or spend the entire day catching up with her.


    Raeleigh felt that if she were to marry Jepherson in the future, at least she would have a great rtionsship with Jenna who treated her very well.


    Unfortunately…


    Love and marriage were interlinked and withfamily. This was something unavoidable.


    Raeleigh was nning to leave the Richards Group Manor first, but she did not expect that Jenna would leave before she did.


    Soon after Jenna left, Raeleigh followed Xanthus out the door. Xanthus got into the driver’s seat while Raeleigh got into the passenger seat.


    On the other hand, Jepherson and Santiago stood outside and watched them enter the car.


    “I’m leaving.”


    Raeleigh informed the brothers.Then, Xanthus started the car and drove back home.


    As soon as Raeleigh arrived home, she made her way into her room, intending to take a nap. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.


    Xanthus was still tired from yesterday’s trip, especially after what happened in the ambnce. He wanted nothing more than a good rest.


    After ensuring the house was secured, Xanthus went into his room to take a nap. However, a few hourster, they were awakened by the doorbell.In the end, Raeleigh decided to head downstairs to check who it was.


    When Raeleigh saw the person at the door, she was slightly confused. “What are you doing here?”


    “Are you going to invite me in?” Ste was sitting in a wheelchair with a thick ck coat. She even had someone to push her around. They said that eyes were like windows and everyone could see through them. Raeleigh could tell that Ste was up to no good by the look in her eyes.


    Raeleigh was not a fool and she knew that Ste was not a good person.


    With that, Raeleigh turned around to look at Xanthus, who was walking down the stairs, “Xanthus, I need to head out for a while. Please wait for me here.”


    Xanthus was wearing pajamas. When he heard Raeleigh’s words, he unconsciously stopped in his tracks.


    Then, he looked towards Ste who was at the door.


    Ste naturally smiled at Xanthus and greeted him.


    However, Xanthus did notreciprocate.


    Ste looked at Raeleigh and said, “Come on, let’s talk outside.”


    She turned around, took a coat and put it on.Before heading outside, she threw a nceat Xanthus.


    Raeleigh followed Ste before stopping to ask, “Is there something you want to tell me? Go ahead. It’s just you and me right now, no one can hear us.”


    Ste looked at her servant and said, “Go back to the car and wait for me.”


    After the servant left, Raeleigh looked at Ste with a calm and steady gaze. Ste was dressed in ck from head to toe. Despite sitting in a wheelchair, she did not look like a sick person at all. In fact, she looked perfectly fine.


    “If you promise to leave Jepherson, then I’ll promise not to harm your friends and family. Otherwise, whatever happened to Scarlette, will happen to the people you love.”


    Although Ste looked indifferent as she talked,Raeleigh could hear the threat in her words.


    Raeleigh also found it amusing. “What rights do you have to tell me what to do? So, you’re the cause of what happened to Scarlette?”


    “It doesn’t matter now, does it? I just came to tell you to leave Jepherson. If you don’t, then I’ll start by plotting against the men in in the house. Then, you will know what it feels like to lose someone.”


    “You’re lucky that you’re still alive. A vicious woman like you doesn’t deserve to live at all!”


    Raeleigh turned around and made her way back to the house. Ste said, “Why can’t you let me get what I want? There’s so many people who loves you like Santiago and Xanthus. I’m sure they are willing to give you what you want. Why do you have to go against my wishes?”


    Raeleigh stopped and turned around to look at Ste. “In your dreams.”


    After saying that, Raeleigh went into the house hastily. As soon as she entered the door, Xanthus pulled her into his arms.
