Raeleigh briefly glanced at Austin before turning around and making her way back to her room.
Raeleigh entered the door and recalled what had happened that year. Raeleigh slowly closed her eyes, feeling the exhaustion creeping up on her.
Santiago was still awake at this time. When he heard that Raeleigh was back, he said, "Come here."
Raeleigh walked over, took off her shoes and sat on the bed where Santiago slept. She leaned against the bed. Santiago raised his hand and touched Raeleigh's head.
"What's wrong?"
Raeleigh said, "Austin told me that your family would usually reserve sperms."
Santiago took back his hand and looked at Raeleigh. "He found out?"
Raeleigh shook her head. "I did not tell him the truth."
Santiago put his hand down. "Austin is too smart."
Raeleigh's hands were cold. She leaned against Santiago. "I'm not afraid that Austin will tell Jepherson. It's just that if Austin can think of this,
I'm sure he can too."
Raeleigh did not sleep much the whole night. When they got up the next morning, all the children saw Raeleigh and Santiago sleeping on the same bed.
Shaney, in particular, did not look happy, but she did not say anything. When Raeleigh woke up and saw the look on Shaney's face, she said to her daughter, "I came back yesterday night..."
"You don't have to explain yourself. Mom, if you like Uncle Santiago, then we're leaving."
Raeleigh froze for a while and said, "Do you really want to stay with your dad?"
Shaney shook her head. "No, I want to stay with Uncle Santiago. He promised to bring me to Cape Haijiao."
Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Then, you should go."
On the same night, Raeleigh and the rest returned to Waverly Village after having dinner. Jacky's car was waiting forthem outside.
After Raeleigh got into the car, she leaned against the window. They had to split into two cars as there were too many of them. Deanna sat beside Raeleigh. She asked Raeleigh who she loved most. She even asked Raeleigh whether she intended to spend the rest of her life being single.
At first, Raeleigh just fixed her eyes on Deanna, but eventually replied.
Raeleigh said, "I haven't thought about it, but I definitely do not want to die alone."
Deanna just smiled, "I thought you would know how to cherish yourself, but now I think you're quite silly."
If it was in the past, Raeleigh would not believe that those words came out of Deann's mouth, but now she believed. People would change as they grew older. However, some people's growth was so amazing, such as Deanna's.
Raeleigh read one of Deanna's books before. Her inner world was beyond anyone's imagination. It was not like what others saw. She knew nothing. Pure romance was just a kind of vent of one's personality. The real Deanna was very shocking.
