Raeleigh woke up before Jepherson the next morning. She wanted to get out of bed before he did. However, just as she was about to get out of bed, she felt Jepherson's hand reach over and pulled her back into bed.
"Aren't you tired from last night?" Jepherson had just woken up. He sounded a little groggy. Raeleigh lay back on the bed, saying, "I just wanted to check on Scarlette."
"You're ditching your handsome husband to go and check on Scarlette?" Jepherson chuckled softly. Raeleigh did not know what else to say, so she told him about what happened the night before. Only then did Jepherson understand.
"Lie down for a while. I think you shouldn't interfere with their problem. Scarlette will figure it out. They've been together for quite a while. Hadrian really needs a change. He's too cold towards her," Jepherson said, taking Raeleigh's hand. Then, they went back to sleep and only woke up at noon.
After Raeleigh got up, there was only one thing that made her feel depressed. Recently, she had been out of routine. She didn't even know when she should rest or when she should get up.
While going down the stairs, Raeleigh took a look at the lower floor. Although Scarlette was injured and had to stay in bed, Hadrian wasn't downstairs either. The only person she saw was Stuart. Hadrian was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as Raeleigh saw Serra, she asked Serra whether Scarlette had eaten anything. Serra forced a smile and said, "They haven't come out of the room, and I did not want to disturb them."
Raeleigh turned around and glanced towards Scarlette's room. "She should at least have something to eat. Where's Hadrian?"
"Hadrian hasn't come out yet." That was the first time Serra had seen Hadrian slap Scarlette, and that was also the first time he had spent the night in her room. However, the two of them did not come out for breakfast that morning. If Hadrian did not come out, then who knew what he was doing there? Furthermore, Serra had heard a loud bang coming from Scarlette's room. Everyone was feeling very awkward.
"Is he still inside her room?" Raeleigh was also surprised. She had long heard complaints from Scarlette, saying that Hadrian was never to initiate things between them. It was always her who went looking for him first, and all they would talk about were private matters.
It was because of this that Scarlette would always complain to her. Even Raeleigh knew what was going on.
Raeleigh looked at Scarlette's room. It seemed that it was a little inappropriate for her to check on them. However, if they did not come out, then what about breakfast?
"Stuart, why don't you check on them?" Raeleigh said, looking at Stuart. He started to blush. How could he have done such a thing?
However, at that moment, Jepherson came down the stairs. Although Stuart was embarrassed, he could only bite the bullet and knock on Scarlette's room door.
"Scarlette, it's time to eat."
Stuart knocked twice on the door. Scarlette immediately got up from the bed. However, Hadrian quickly pressed her down on the bed and rolled on top of her. Scarlette's face darkened as she said, "Are you done yet?"
Hadrian lowered his head and covered her mouth. He quickly kissed her before pulling away. He looked at the door and said, "We'll be out in a second."
Stuart turned and said to Jepherson, "Hadrian says that they will be out in a second."
Jepherson turned around and went to the other side of the table. He sat down and waited for Hadrian to come out. However, Hadrian only emerged from Scarlette's room after Jepherson began eating. He closed the door and walked over to Raeleigh and Jepherson. "Mr. Jepherson," Hadrian called out.
Jepherson did not raise his head. He was enjoying his breakfast. Raeleigh was sitting opposite him calmly. When he lifted her head, her eyes met with Hadrian's, and she saw some marks on his neck.
She immediately knew what had happened the night before. She couldn't help looking at Scarlette's room. It surely did not look like Scarlette had forced him the night before.
"What's the matter?" Jepherson asked as he ate. Hadrian thought for a moment and asked, "Has Miss Whalen been found yet?"
"Not yet, but it's not a big deal. She ran away by herself. So, tell Scarlette not to worry."
Jepherson gave Raeleigh a piece of ham. Now that she was pregnant, she needed to eat a lot of nutritious food. Therefore, there were many dishes on the table. This was Jepherson's request.
Hadrian was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "Mr. Jepherson, there's something I want to tell you." "Go ahead," Jepherson said as he ate his oatmeal.
He took a napkin and wiped his mouth. Then, he raised his head to look at Hadrian with an indifferent gaze.
