She was confused?
Jepherson laughed, but his eyes were emitting a mysterious aura.
Novalie was unhappy. Otherwise, she would not have said something like that.
"Did you forget about the time I spent with you? We even had a great meal together, too." Jepherson's expression shifted. He stared at Raeleigh with cold eyes, but he was very kind to Novalie.
Couldn't Novalie see what was going on?
She was probably just pretending to be oblivious.
"Is that so?" Novalie laughed. "I do remember. That was a nutritious meal, and it was good for the body. However, some would think it was bland and therefore dislike it." Jepherson felt like she was slightly mocking him.
"That's not necessarily true. I liked it."
"Then, you should have more." Novalie looked at the table and said, "Alas, our meal today is different. Maybe well have it on another day."
He did not know what she meant. However, Jepherson continued chatting with her.
Meanwhile, Raeleigh was quietly enjoying the meal.
After dinner, Raeleigh tidied the table and sat down. She was watching a show on the television while waiting for Jepherson to leave.
Novalie sat down for a while before returning to her room.
Upon seeing the door closed, Jepherson leaned over, but Raeleigh stood up. She went to the door, turned around, and said to Jepherson, "I don't want to talk about the past. Let's break up."
She did not care whether Jepherson agreed to it or not. Raeleigh entered her room and shut her door.
Jepherson knocked on the door, but Raeleigh never opened it for him.
As a result, Jepherson stayed at Raeleigh's house for the night, sleeping on the couch.
When Raeleigh got up in the morning, Jepherson woke up too.
When Raeleigh went out to buy some groceries, Jepherson followed suit.
Jepherson neither explained himself, nor did he leave. Raeleigh couldn't bear to tell him the truth.
"I didn't attend Elkton University to find a boyfriend. Stop pestering me. I don't want to hear
about it." Raeleigh opened the door as she told
this to Jepherson. Jepherson scoffed. "You are
mine. I won't let you go."
Raeleigh was speechless.
Jepherson did not say anything after that.
Turning around, Jepherson went into Raeleigh's house. When they were inside, Raeleigh washed her hands as she took out the ingredients that her grandmother liked. Jepherson catered to her needs and cooked for Novalie.
Quietly, Jepherson prepared breakfast.
Raeleigh didn't know what Jepherson was planning, but she knew something was off.
After eating together, Jepherson said that he was leaving because he still had something to deal with.
"Grandma, I'll come back another day. There are some things I have to deal with. I'll take my leave first." Jepherson chatted with Novalie for a while and then left.
Raeleigh came out of her room to have a look, and indeed, she did not see any cars.
Their place was small, so cars were easily spotted.
Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief and went back to talk to Novalie.
Novalie asked a few questions about Jepherson and her relationship. Raeleigh only spoke briefly. She understood that her granddaughter did not want to have anything to do with Jepherson. She was also worried that her granddaughter would not be able to make a decision on this matter.
