"I know. It's nothing. Grandpa and I are having tea. I'll call you later. Santiago must be back soon."
"Alright."
With that being said, Raeleigh hung up the phone and went downstairs to wait for Santiago. That was because she was worried, but no one appeared.
Raeleigh didn't think that Santiago would come back so soon. As she had expected, half an hour later, Santiago drove back.
After Raeleigh moved away from the door, she watched as Santiago drove into the mansion and got out of the car. Raeleigh walked over and looked at Santiago. Without saying a word, he stepped back into the mansion. Raeleigh stopped with a helpless look on her face. He was so angry with her just for that kind of thing.
It was fortunate that he didn't like Deanna. If he did, then could Deanna handle his bad temper?
Raeleigh returned to the villa. Santiago was sitting on the couch with a poker face. There was no one else around. Serra was busy taking care of Novalie, so she seldom appeared downstairs. There were two servants in the villa. One was responsible for cleaning, and the other was responsible for cooking. There were two people outside, one was the butler, and the other was a gardener.
Those were the only people at home. Hadrian usually wouldn't come out of his room, while Scarlette would flee as soon as something happened. That was the norm for Raeleigh.
After entering the house, Raeleigh questioned Santiago, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Santiago briefly replied, "I'm not hungry."
"I'll cook for you." Ever since Raeleigh got pregnant, Jepherson would always cook for her, but right then she needed to cook for Santiago.
When Raeleigh went into the kitchen, she instructed the servant. "I'll do it. You can leave."
The servant didn't dare to object. She was one of Santiago's workers.
When the servant went out of the kitchen, Raeleigh started preparing the dishes. Raeleigh cooked some porridge and served it to Santiago in person.
"I didn't eat either. Let's eat together." Raeleigh sat on the opposite side. She was not used to treating Santiago that way. However, looking at how arrogant he was, she was actually amused by his angry side.
After all, he was two years younger than her, so sometimes he could be childish.
He made it very clear that he was angry.
His body language was so obvious that she could only smile bitterly.
Raeleigh sat on the opposite side of the table and ate the bowl of porridge. Santiago did not take a single bite. He sat there for a while before going upstairs soon after, unwilling to forgive her.
After Raeleigh finished the porridge, she raised her head to see that Santiago had already returned to his room.
Seeing his untouched bowl of porridge, Raeleigh finished her dinner and put the rice porridge on the kitchen counter. After thinking for a while, she got some flour and made two pieces of cake for Santiago. There were no vanilla beans at home. Raeleigh looked at the time. It was around eight o'clock, so she called out to Scarlette, "Scarlette, come here."
Scarlette rushed out of the room and asked, "Have you made up with him?"
Raeleigh shook her head. "No. Come with me. I need to buy something."
Raeleigh turned around and went downstairs. Scarlette hurried to Santiago's room. She knocked on the door and asked, "Mr. Santiago, Raeleigh is going out to buy something. Are you going with her?"
Scarlette didn't have the guts to leave the house without his permission, to avoid making him angry like how he was furious with Raeleigh right then.
There was no response, so Scarlette continued. "Mr. Santiago, in that case, I'll ask Hadrian to go with us."
Scarlette turned around and pointed at Raeleigh as she muttered under her breath, "You're doomed. Mr. Santiago does not want to talk to you."
Raeleigh ignored her comment after casting a glance at her. "Let's go. The grocery store will be closed soon."
Raeleigh turned around to head outside while Hadrian drove the car over in no time. As they walked, Scarlette asked Raeleigh, "What do you want? Can't you ask Hadrian to buy it?"
"He's a man. I reckon it's only appropriate for me to get it myself." Raeleigh wanted to get something else, so she went into the car.
