After Raeleigh left the hospital, she planned to go back. Jepherson did not say that he would not allow her to go back. Later, the car arrived at the door of Xanthus's residence. Raeleigh got out of the car and went straight to him. However...
"Why are you also getting out of the car?" Hearing the footsteps following her, Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson with a displeased face.
"I am homeless now. Don't you intend to take me in?" After saying that, Jepherson stepped towards Xanthus's villa. Raeleigh stopped outside for a while, and she then followed him inside.
After entering through the door, Raeleigh changed her shoes and looked into the villa. Xanthus had already prepared the food and was waiting for Raeleigh to come back to eat together. But the atmosphere was still a little strange. After all, Xanthus did not expect that it was Jepherson who came in first, and he had already gone inside.
Raeleigh explained to Xanthus, "I will find a way to let him leave."
"Are you able to do this?" Xanthus turned around and took a look at the room where Raeleigh was in. As soon as he cleared it, Xanthus came back.
Xanthos was amused when he turned back.
Raeleigh said, "There will be a way."
"It's good that there's a way. The most worrisome way is if your ideas fail on him, then it will make him bolder." After saying that, Xanthus turned around to prepare the food. Raeleigh stood at the door for a while. She did understand Xanthos's meaning, but Jepherson was indeed very difficult to deal with.
Raeleigh returned after washing her hands. Xanthus had already placed the food. When they sat down and were about to eat, Jepherson came down from upstairs as if he had watched the time.
Raeleigh raised her head to look at Jepherson, who had already changed his clothes. As soon as he saw her, he went straight to Raeleigh and sat down beside her. He held up her bowl and chopsticks, ready to eat, as if he was at home. Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the bowl in front of her, which was empty. It was her dinner.
"Drink some soup first." Raeleigh's rice was taken away. Xanthus immediately filled up another bowl of soup. Raeleigh took it over and lowered her head to drink the soup.
"I have fallen out with my family and will live here from today onwards." Jepherson, who was having his meal, told Xanthus about his current situation.
Raeleigh raised her head slowly to look at Jepherson. "You own a hotel outside, don't you?"
"The hotel is owned by the Richards family. I have nothing but you." After eating a mouthful of the rice, he turned around to see Raeleigh, who wore a blank look on her face. "What are you talking about?" she asked.
"Isn't that the case?"
"It's between you and your grandmother. I don't want to talk to you. I'm also very confused now. Please stay away from me."
"Now, you don't need me. You want me to go. But you didn't say that at the beginning. You still have my gift on your wrist. If you take it off unscathed, then I will promise to leave you. Otherwise, it's impossible."
"You are unreasonable."
"Yeap, but what can you do to me?" he asked Raeleigh, while putting the rice into his mouth, chewing. He had an extraordinarily handsome face, but she was also very angry. Raeleigh said, "You are too much."
"That's right."
Raeleigh was speechless and glanced at Xanthus on the opposite side. Xanthus froze for a moment. Although he did not like Jepherson very much, he was almost amused by his shamelessness.
"Let's eat." Xanthus dipped some meat into Raeleigh's bowl. "Eat more and you'll feel better and stronger."
Raeleigh blushed. Why did she need to be so strong? Did he want to fight? She thought.
What was the point of being strong if she was unable to defeat a person like Jepherson?
Raeleigh lowered her head and kept eating. She did not know who she was angry with. After eating, Raeleigh stood up and left. Then, she sat on the couch in the living room to watch the news.
If Raeleigh didn't watch the news, then she wouldn't even know that such a big thing had happened to the Richards Group... Jepherson was reported missing!
