When Raeleigh heard that her car was well received in the market, she was naturally in a good mood.Thus, she decided to prepare dinner for everyone the next day.
Just as they began eating, one of Jacky’s men entered and whispered a few words into Jacky’s ear. Jacky then looked at Jepherson and said, “There’s someone looking for you.”
“Wait, someone’s looking for me?” Jepherson, who was currently peeling a prawn for Raeleigh, asked in surprise when he heard Jacky’s words.
Raeleigh took the prawn from Jepherson and took a bite. Then, Jepherson wiped his hand with a piece of tissue, looking in the direction of the door.
“They came all the way here?”
“Yes, it’s up to you whether you want to meet the person. My men just came to inform me.” Jacky did not like meddling in others’ business. However, since Jepherson was his guest, he had to inform him as a courtesy.
Jepherson briefly nced over at Raeleigh and said, “I’ll go out and have a look.”
With that, Raeleigh had no objection and began peeling some prawns for Xanthus.
Everyone else at the table remained seated as Jepherson stood up. He pushed the door open and went outside, wantingto know who hade all the way here to find him. He was told that the person was waiting for him at the entrance of the vige. It was quite far, so it took some time for him to walk over.
Jepherson greeted the vigers as he walked towards the entrance. It took about half an hour for him to get there.
When Jepherson finally arrived, he saw a ck car waiting for him, and there were a few people sitting in the car. The person in front was obviously the driver.Besides, he also noticed that the number te of the car was from Capital City.
As Jepherson paused and looked at the car, two people alighted the car. One went to the trunk of the car to get the wheelchair. The otheropened the door and carried Ste out of the car before cing her in the wheelchair.
Then, one man retrieved a quilt from the car and draped it over herp.
Ste was wearing a hat to cover her face.
After that, the two men retreated. Ste looked at Jepherson and said, “Are you surprised to see me here?”
Jepherson did not say anything and just stared at the people around him. Ste did not bring an entourage this time. Instead, she and her bodyguards came in one car.
At this time, Ste was sitting alone in a wheelchair, while the others were waiting for her in the car.
Jepherson then looked at Ste and said, “Yes, I was surprised, but then again, not really.”
“Is it because I like doing unexpected things since I was young?” Ste asked him jokingly.With that, Jepherson was deep in his thoughts. “It’s so cold out and you’re not in good health. What are you doing all the way here?”
“You never came to see me. I tried calling you but all of my calls went unanswered. I had no choice but toe and find you.”
Ste said and held her hands. Her blood looked like it was frozen in her veins. She sat in the wheelchair, looking deathly pale.
Hence, Jepherson could not bear it and took off his jacket and draped it over Ste’s shoulders. He said, “You know that there is no possibility between us, but you keep on persisting. Why bother?”
Ste pursed her lips astears began to roll down her cheeks. “I am not asking for much, it’s just that….”
Ste could not help but burst into tears. Perhaps, it was because she was used to crying in front of Jepherson, so he was immune to that. There was no point talking to her.
Furthermore, Ste had her own ns.
Even though she knew she could not have Jepherson,she was not nning on going easy on Raeleigh.
Jepherson stared at Ste as she cried. “Ste, you know that I have always regarded you as my sister. Why do you persist?”
“When have you ever regarded me as your sister?” Ste asked loudly, sounding somewhat impatient.
Only then did Jepherson say, “Have you eaten?”
“No, I haven’t.”
With pursed lips, Jepherson to the back of Ste’s wheelchair and pushed her into Waverly Vige.
Raeleigh stood as she watched Jepherson drape his coat aroundSte’s shoulders. Although from where Raeleigh was standing, she noticed that they only exchanged a few words, but it did not stop her from turning around and leaving.
Raeleigh was not in a hurry nor did she walk slow. She walked calmly as she usually did, but her mind was in a mess.
She knew that she was letting her imagination run wild.
Everything was an illusion as she knew Jepherson had his reasons.
However, she still could not ept it nor face it.
Raeleighonly stood out in the cold for a while, yet her faceturned bright red because of the cold wind. Thinking about it, there was nothing she could do.
As Raeleigh made her way back to the house, she felt her body gradually heat up.
By the time Raeleigh came back, the rest were nearly done with their food. However, Raeleigh and Jepherson barely ate anything.
“Are you going to eat?” Xanthus immediately asked Raeleigh when he saw her. He noticed that her face was bright red, but he wasn’t sure whether it was because of the cold or whether it was because she had taken a walk.He was a little distressed when he saw his sister’s appearance.
“Come here.” Xanthus raised his hand and touched her face, hoping to warm her up. Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Xanthus and suddenly felt a deep feeling of sadnesswashed overher. She wanted to cry but she couldn’t bring herself to.
She opened her mouth and felt wronged.However, she still couldn’t help but yell out, “I feel miserable!”
Xanthus was caught off guard by Raeleigh’s screams. Santiago’s face, too, turned pale.
Everyone in the room was baffled.Besides, Jacky could see very clearly that Santiago was watching Raeleigh’s every move.
As long as Raeleigh was a little off,Santiago would start to get worried about her.
At this time, Raeleigh was obviously wrongedandSantiago’s face was extremely pale.
As the door opened with a creak,everyone in the room looked towards the door. Jepherson had a little trouble pushing Ste into the room. For a moment, the whole room was silent.
Ste smiled faintly as she looked at the upants in the room withradianteyes.
Soon, her smile gradually disappeared as she greeted the people in the room.
“Hello, everyone. Sorry to disturb you.”
Although Ste was sitting in a wheelchair,she still greeted everyone in the room.
With that, Raeleigh gradually calmed down, knowing that she was in it to win it. She was going to show Ste how strong she was and not let Steugh at her behind her back.
Raeleighposed herself and said, “I didn’t expect you toe. I doubt you’ve eaten. Come join us.”
Raeleigh took a look at Xanthus and asked him to move over one seat. She sat between Santiago and Xanthus, leaving her original seat to Ste.
Jacky found it interesting. He got someone to set an extrace at the table before he continued eating.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
However, Raeleigh did not finish her food. She initially did not have the appetite, but now she was forced to eat.
Santiago then gave a bowl of soup to Raeleigh. She thanked him and began drinking it.
Everyone else at the table was staring at Raeleigh, keeping silent. There was an indescribable awkwardness at the table.
