It was really true when people said time flies when you're having fun.
The next morning, Raeleigh did not want to get out of bed as she was exhausted from last night's activities.
However, she was currently in the Richards Group Manor. People would notice if she stayed in bed.
So, she made the difficult decision to get out of bed, but Jepherson pulled her back and said, "I don't have any plans today. Let's stay in bed a little longer."
"Just because you don't have plans doesn't mean that I don't."
Raeleigh got out of bed and put on her clothes. Although she was still tired, she chose not to sleep in.
Even if they got married in the future, she would still do the same thing.
As Raeleigh got dressed, Jepherson sat up in bed and asked helplessly, "Are you worried that my grandparents would be unhappy?"
With just a look, Jepherson knew exactly what Raeleigh was thinking.
After putting on her clothes, Raeleigh made her way into the bathroom, disregarding Jepherson's question.
Thus, he got up and put on his clothes. He walked into the bathroom and held Raeleigh in his arms. "Come back to bed with me."
"No, you can go back to bed if you want."
Raeleigh looked at him through the mirror as she brushed her teeth.
Only then did Jepherson kiss Raeleigh before stepping into the shower.
Jenna was already awake by the time Raeleigh came out of the room. At this time, the servants were serving the food that the chef had prepared for breakfast. Raeleigh wanted to help, but Jenna pulled her aside and tried to persuade her to spend the New Year holiday with them.
However, Raeleigh did not know how to turn down her invitation.
After breakfast, she said, "I have some errands to run today, so I'll be following Xanthus home. Have a great day."
Jenna did not expect that Raeleigh would be leaving so soon.
However, deep down, she knew that Raeleigh was trying to avoid them.
Jenna was hoping that Jepherson would be able to persuade Raeleigh, but he did not say anything. Hence, Hansen mentioned that he was planning to head over to A city today.
"Let's head home to visit my father today."
Every year, Hansen would go back around this time to visit his parents.
"Raeleigh, are you sure you don't want to come with us? Actually, Marissa is an affable person. I'll talk to her about you and Jerry today."
Jenna did not want to pressure Raeleigh and she knew Jenna meant well. However, Marissa was not the only reason she was hesitant on spending the holiday with them.
"We've already promised my parents that we will spend the new years with them this year. This will be Raeleigh's first new years with us and we were hoping that we could spend it as a family. I hope that you can understand."
Xanthus quickly explained to Jenna before Raeleigh could say anything. Jenna stared at Xanthus after hearing his explanation. What else could she say?
Furthermore, Xanthus was very polite when explaining to her. How could she be so shameless?
Although Jenna was a little disappointed, she knew that there will be a chance in the future.
This was only the beginning of Jepherson and Raeleigh's relationship and Jenna knew that there were better days ahead. With that, she could not rush things.
Jenna then followed Hansen out the door. Before she left, she reminded Raeleigh that she was more than welcome to visit them.
Awkwardly, Raeleigh did not know what else to say besides telling her that she would try her best.
After Jenna left, Raeleigh finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Raeleigh had heard of the term monster- in- law before. Even though some parents were not as mean as Marissa, but she knew that most of them did not get along with their child's significant other. However, Jenna was different. She treated her like her own daughter. Sometimes when Jenna went a long time without seeing her, she would cook up a feast or spend the entire day catching up with her.
