Raeleigh was still worried that she had not made it back to the university. She had already wasted three days of her term time. If this went on, then she would end up missing the whole week's classes.
"I'm fine now. You can send me back to school." Raeleigh decided to make it clear.
Jepherson looked at her and said, "I have the final say in this matter today. As your boyfriend, I have to wait for your emotions to stabilize, and then I will send you back. Otherwise, I will be worried."
"But it's all over and I'm fine?" Raeleigh stood there, not far away from Jepherson. He raised his hand and pulled her wrist, intending to pull her onto his lap, but Raeleigh avoided his hand, so instead, he allowed Raeleigh simply to sit next to him.
"It's already noon. Even if we go back, it'll already be evening. Do you really have to go back?" Jepherson had already spoken gently, but Raeleigh still wanted to go back.
Although he was unwilling, Jepherson still sent Raeleigh back.
When the car arrived at the school gate, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Jepherson did not get out of the car. He handed Raeleigh her bag. When Raeleigh got out of the car, she checked to see if anyone was at the front gate. Not seeing anyone, she went in.
Stuart shut the passenger seat door and got back into the car. He glanced at Jepherson, who was watching the departing Raeleigh.
His heart really ached for his Young Master.
"Stuart." Leaning against the car, Jepherson spoke languidly that it made Stuart's heart skip a beat. He was busy looking at Jepherson in the rearview mirror, and he lifted his eyelids to look at him. "Young Master."
"Next time, if you criticize me, then I will let you run back with the car." Jepherson's eyes seemed to appear uncaring, but it scared Stuart to death. It seemed that his words were not in jest. Was he going to have him run back?
"Yes, Master Jepherson." Stuart's response was unspeakably bitter.
Jepherson let out a 'hmph' as a response and leaned to one side. He had turned in the direction of the school to try and look at it from afar, but instead, he was greeted by the sight of the booklet and the phone that he had gifted Raeleigh on the car seat.
Jepherson's gaze became much dimmer when he saw these two things. He did not touch them but instead left them in the original spot.
"Let's go back. The old madam may still be worried about me. Is Madam Jenna back?" Jepherson looked at Stuart. Stuart had been in contact with Alvin the whole time. Therefore, even if Jepherson did not call his parents, he would know when or if they would come back at all.
Stuart said, "It will probably take her two months."
"That long, huh?" His old man must have really loved his wife more than his life. All these years, he had been waiting eagerly for his eldest son to grow up and take over the management of the office, so that he could take his wife travelling around the world. When they had left, they had said it would only be for two weeks. Then, later it became another half a month, and then another month, and right then, it had been extended to another two months. Jepherson thought that at that point, they might as well extend their holiday to two years. That way, he could be like a runaway horse. Free to never return.
The car stopped in front of the yard of Richards Manor. Stuart got out of the car hurriedly to open the door. Jepherson then got out of the car. The moment he got out of the car, he heard Deanna's voice.
Jepherson looked up. Deanna was taking a walk with his grandmother in the yard. When she saw him, she ran towards him like a little swallow.
When they were little, Deanna and Zorion were always here and occasionally lived here for a period of time. Grandma Marissa had always liked it, but they didn't have many chances to meet up. Only when Jepherson returned to A City would they have time to play and only then could they get together.
However, Deanna was a very lovable girl. Almost everyone in the Richards family liked her. However, Zorion was something else.
Deanna had liked Jepherson since she was a child, and this was also a well-known fact in the Richards family. Deanna liked to follow Jepherson around since they were children. No matter where he went, she loved to follow him.
In Jepherson's eyes, Deanna was like his sister. He was indeed very good to her.
Deanna ran towards Jepherson, and her face was red with laughter.
