Raeleigh made the first move. She walked over to the couch and sat opposite Deanna. Deanna wanted to ask Raeleigh where she was that late at night. Even if Raeleigh was not feeling well, she was with Jepherson. Why did she allow Santiago to carry her?
What was more, Raeleigh seemed to be fine. Why did Santiago have to carry her? What was going on?
Before Deanna could ask her questions, Santiago entered the house with a bag in his hand. It was something he had obtained from the hospital. Apart from the list of examinations done by the doctor, there were also some medicines.
As Raeleigh was pregnant, she had to watch her diet. She had to take supplements that were good for her and her baby.
"Serra." Santiago handed the bag in his hand to Serra. He glanced at Scarlette, who was yawning, as well as Hadrian. "It's late, why are you guys still awake?"
Scarlette pouted. She obviously wanted nothing more than to go to sleep, but Deanna was here. She was like a princess. Was it possible for her not to accompany her?
And there was also Zorion. Both him and Deanna were very insensible. What were they doing in the middle of the night in someone else's house? Scarlette really did not understand. She was slightly agitated. If Zorion wasn't from the Whalen family, then she would have punched him long ago.
"I would have gone to bed if I could," Scarlette said. Deanna immediately bit her lip, indicating that she was wronged. Deanna did tell her to go to sleep, but Scarlette refused to listen. Right then, Scarlette made it seem like it was Deanna's fault that she was not allowed to go to sleep.
Deanna looked at Santiago with puppy eyes, wanting to explain herself. She neither knew what to say, nor did Zorion help her out of the predicament.
"Deanna did ask Scarlette and Hadrian to go to sleep, but right now, they are watching Deanna as if she was a thief. I have no idea what is worth stealing in Raeleigh's house."
Zorion's words stung Raeleigh. She froze for a moment and looked at Scarlette. She was afraid that Scarlette would say something she didn't mean.
When she thought of it, Zorion sounded like they were here to denounce them.
"Scarlette, why don't you and Hadrian go and get some rest? You too, Serra." Raeleigh wanted to dismiss the others back to their rooms. It was already the wee hours and they still had things to do the next day.
It was fine for the younger ones to stay up, but not for the older people. Staying up late was more tiring than a month's work. Raeleigh once heard that people who stayed up late were more likely to die early.
Although Scarlette was reluctant to go to bed, she did not want to spend a single second with Deanna. So, she turned around and went back to her room.
Hadrian too made his way back to his room. The only person left was Serra. Raeleigh looked at Serra and said, "Go and get some rest."
Only then did Serra leave. She briefly said something to Santiago before making her way back to her room.
It was quiet in the living room. Santiago walked to Raeleigh's side and sat down, leaning against her.
Deanna's face suddenly tensed up. The couch was huge. She did not understand why they had to sit so closely together.
She also wondered why Raeleigh did not ask
Santiago to move over.
