Raeleigh slept all night. She woke up at dawn, but it was actually already seven o'clock since it was winter.
Raeleigh usually got up at six o'clock, but she didn't get up until seven o'clock that day because she slept late the day before.
She had everything she needed in the room. Raeleigh stood up and took a bath. Then, she opened the door and walked out.
When Stuart saw her, he walked over and told her, "Last night, Madam Marissa fainted because of a fit of anxiety. The young master didn't come over because of this. He told me to inform you about this, Young Madam Raeleigh, since it was quite late last night to inform you about it."
"Stuart, I'm not some young madam. Don't call me that anymore."
"Ah... I understand."
He'll try his best.
"I'm going home now. I've already called for a car. It should be here soon..."
"The young master will come to see you later. It's the weekend, so he intends for you to stay here in the Green Jade Garden." "What if I insist on leaving?"
Raeleigh had a blank face and was relieved. This had nothing to do with Stuart. It was useless getting angry.
"The young master isn't malicious."
Regardless, things were going well for Jepherson. Raeleigh stopped talking and simply turned around to sit down.
Someone soon brought some breakfast for Raeleigh. She watched TV for a while after eating her breakfast and she then called Xanthus. After that, Jepherson finally showed up.
When she saw him, she put down the remote control in her hand and turned off the TV.
"Have you eaten?" Jepherson asked as soon as he entered. He then began to change his shoes and clothes. He was exhausted.
"Yes," Raeleigh replied curtly. He walked over and sat down beside her. He laid his head down on her lap and sighed in relief.
He stared into Raeleigh's bottomless eyes as she lowered her head. All of this happened so suddenly, and she didn't have time to respond. He had a smile on his face as he said, "There's really nothing between me and Stella."
Raeleigh froze. "It's alright. I don't want to know anything about you."
"But your eyes say otherwise. You look sad and distressed."
He raised his hand to pull his collar up and moved up a little. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Put your clothes on. It's a little cold here."
Raeleigh glanced to the side. There was a coat on the other side of the room. She took the coat with her hand and covered herself up. She wanted to continue watching TV.
"I have a headache," Jepherson said faintly.
Raeleigh pondered this for a moment and raised her hand to massage his neck. Jepherson eventually fell asleep. He was breathing heavily.
When he fell asleep, Raeleigh thought of leaving. However, his head moved a couple of times whenever she tried to move.
Then, he said, "Don't go."
After that, he continued to rest on her lap.
Raeleigh leaned back against the couch. She had nothing to do and couldn't leave, so she could only stare blankly at the TV.
Jepherson slept throughout the entire day and woke up in the evening. She called his name constantly to wake him up.
"Young Master Richards, Madam Marissa has asked you to have dinner with her. Miss Doyle is also waiting outside." Stuart wasn't expecting Stella to find her way here.
"Tell her that I'm tired and that I'm sleeping. Don't disturb me if it isn't urgent." Jepherson dismissed Stella's request. He got up only after Stella had left.
Stuart went towards the door. Jepherson asked his staff to buy some ingredients and went to the kitchen to cook for Raeleigh.
She couldn't escape from this place. He wanted her to accompany him in the kitchen.
"Chop the basil for me. Be careful with that." Jepherson was hungry, and Raeleigh could tell. But she didn't expect him to have cooked an entire bowl of pasta.
Raeleigh was also very hungry and could only cooperate reluctantly.
