Hadrian was left with no choice and had to sleep outside. Raeleigh then dragged Jepherson out of Raeleigh's room. Her face was flushed.
"You're embarrassing me!" Raeleigh said. After all, he was the eldest son of the Richards family. How could he do such an embarrassing thing? How could he fight with Scarlette over who gets to sleep with Raeleigh?
Jepherson did not take it seriously. He led Raeleigh back upstairs and turned to look at Serra. He said, "Don't let Hadrian in tonight."
"Yes, Mr. Jepherson." Serra agreed. Then, Jepherson brought Raeleigh back to the room. When they entered the room, she stood at the door and looked at Jepherson. "You're the young master of the Richards family. How can you treat Hadrian like this?"
Hadrian was always on standby, willing to do whatever Jepherson asked him to do. It was already autumn, so it was cold at night. There was no doubt that sleeping outside was like asking to catch a cold.
As soon as Jepherson entered the room, he began to take off his clothes. Then, he made his way into the bathroom to draw a bath. It was as if he did not hear what Raeleigh said. His actions left Raeleigh speechless, not knowing what to do at a moment like this.
Raeleigh sat on the bed. She had decided not to take a shower that day. If she did, then she would have to face Jepherson, and it would be awkward. Furthermore, she had not figured out the real relationship between them. Raeleigh could only pin her hopes on Xanthus.
However, since she had no chance to talk to Xanthus, she could only wait for time to tell.
After Jepherson emerged from the bathroom, he took off his clothes and waited for Raeleigh to do the same.
Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Jepherson blankly. "I don't plan on taking a shower tonight. You can go ahead."
"Are you angry?" Jepherson was amused. Raeleigh rolled her eyes at him. She then changed into her pyjamas and crawled into bed.
Raeleigh had finally caught up with sleep after having spent a few sleepless nights looking for Deanna. She wanted nothing more than to sleep right then.
Seeing that Raeleigh was silent, Jepherson turned around and went into the bathroom.
After Jepherson emerged from the bathroom, he put on his nightgown. He went to the balcony and briefly scrolled through his phone. After that, he went back into the room to sleep.
Jepherson pulled Raeleigh into his arms. She seemed to be in a deep sleep, so Jepherson did not want to wake her.
After all, she was pregnant and she needed more sleep.
Jepherson and Raeleigh soon fell asleep. On the other side, Scarlette could not seem to fall asleep. She got up a few times. Hadrian was standing outside, watching her. Scarlette felt bad for him. However, when she thought of the slap that Hadrian had given her and what he did afterwards, she felt much better.
After all, Hadrian asked for it.
He should be making amends then.
When she thought about it, she found it amusing. She did not feel sorry for Hadrian. He was the one who asked for it. She was not going to listen to him and marry him. Once they found Deanna, she was going to go abroad. From then on, they would never meet again.
Scarlette cried the entire night because of this. Her tears kept streaming down her face.
Just as Scarlette woke up in the morning, she heard the door opening. Her eyes were red from crying, and she did not dare to get up from the bed. She covered her head and pretended to be asleep.
After entering the room, Hadrian shed off his clothes and walked over to the bed. He lifted the quilt and got straight into bed.
Scarlette immediately jolted awake.
Although the room was dimly lit, Hadrian could see her red puffy eyes at a glance. His face was gloomy as he asked, "Were you crying?"
She glared at Hadrian coldly. "Get out!"
"Why were you crying?" Hadrian asked as he approached Scarlette. She quickly raised her hand and punched him. He did not dodge and her fist landed on his body.
Scarlette regretted not punching him in the face.
Just as Scarlette was about to punch him again, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her into his arms. He held her tightly and asked with a serious face, "Why were you crying?"
