The car pulled away and a person appeared and stood in front of Raeleigh. She said politely, "Miss Anson, if you please."
Raeleigh felt a little strange, but she had gotten out of the car anyway and went outside.
When she went into the airport, Raeleigh only saw Scarlette and two other people. She did not see Jepherson.
Scarlette rushed to Raeleigh and stood in front of her asking, "What's going on?"
"You don't have to worry. We'll be fine." Raeleigh could only say so then. She had no idea what exactly Jepherson planned to do.
Soon, someone brought over plane tickets for Raeleigh and Scarlette. They were assigned to sit next to each other. Raeleigh and Scarlette were escorted to the plane, and then the other people left, one after another.
Halfway through, someone invited Scarlette to another seat. Shortly after, Jepherson came from the first class cabin and sat beside Raeleigh.
Raeleigh was reading the book. She raised her head to have a look. She was not surprised to see Jepherson sitting beside her. If it were someone else, then she would have been surprised.
Raeleigh had been looking at the book for quite some time then, but she was still absorbed in it.
Jepherson did not disturb her. Instead, he was focused more on Raeleigh's expression.
After a short break, the plane started its descent and Jepherson pressed his hands against Raeleigh's ears, covering them as she looked up at him. It was Raeleigh's first time on a plane. She didn't know anything and didn't pay attention to the noise. Jepherson's action was a little sudden. When she looked up, she saw that Jepherson was smiling at her. She wanted to push Jepherson's hand away, but she didn't. Instead, she quietened down.
After the plane landed, the sound disappeared. Jepherson took his hands away from Raeleigh's ears and he then smiled.
She didn't like the fact that he smiled at her. When a man smiled at her, she wouldn't like it. Since it was Jepherson, she disliked it even more.
Jepherson got up from his seat and simply packed up Raeleigh's stuff. Then, he took Raeleigh's hand and left the plane.
When they got off the plane, Raeleigh heard the people around her talking about one thing, how handsome Jepherson looked and how elegant his movements were.
Looking at the people around her, Raeleigh wanted to ignore them, but she couldn't do anything since they kept talking about her.
Outside the airport, there was a car waiting for them. Raeleigh followed Jepherson out of the airport and went straight into the car. The chauffeur drove them away. Raeleigh then knew that this was a small town next to the coast. Although the town was not big, it was already considered as a first-class city, so it was still very prosperous.
Inside the car, Jepherson began to read the information. It was said that he was going to an orphanage to find someone.
"What has the other party said?" Jepherson was then acting like a bossy president. He had a cold and unpredictable expression, deep and quiet eyes, and his whole body was emitting a serious aura. Even Raeleigh, who wasn't paying much attention to him, could feel that his aura was different from before.
"I have already contacted him and the director has called." Stuart, who was in the front seat, answered quickly.
Jepherson turned his face away. The calm on his handsome face was swept away and replaced with coldness. Raeleigh stared at Jepherson's eyes with the light of the setting sun outside the window. She saw a touch of pain in his eyes.
Raeleigh didn't know if it was an illusion. She looked down for a while to check the bracelet in her hand. At that time, the car passed by several busy streets and finally stopped in front of a very remote suburban agency.
When Raeleigh got out of the car and saw the sign in front of the door, she froze for a moment. "Isn't this an orphanage?"
At that time, some people stood in front of the gate of the orphanage. The old dean, who had seen Jepherson, rushed out to greet him. Jepherson said, "Madam Garver, there's no need for the pleasantries."
Madam Garver?
