Chapter 1629 Too Miserable
Chapter 1629 Too Miserable
After she had her lunch and packed a few clothes, Raeleigh followed Jepherson to his family
residence. She had barely stepped through the door when she froze, for who should be taking a stroll
in the yard but none other than Hudson and Paige, the former pushing the latter around.
Hudson wasn't a problem to Raeleigh, but the sight of Paige made her feel on edge.
Should she say hello or not?
Forget it.
Raeleigh was outfitted in a white maternity dress, and with her abdomen round from pregnancy, she
looked as stunning as a celestial fairy.
Women's pregnancy would usually bring about change, but those like Raeleigh who grow even more
beautiful the further along she was were truly rare in between.
She didn't even wear makeup, nor applied any skincare products.
She stood out like a hibiscus wet with dew and the servants around the area were stunned. No wonder
Mr. Jepherson and Mr. Santiago fell over themselves for her, who wouldn't?
Raeleigh's hair had grown quite considerably and had reached the most suitable length at this time. It
gently bobbed with each movement as it fell freely down to her chin.
Raeleigh made eye contact with Hudson and inclined her head in greeting. She then followed Xanthus
and Jepherson to the Fragrance Garden.
Hudson frowned. After Raeleigh had left, he tilted his head down at Paige whose countenance had
twisted into an ugly expression. Her anger had never left and had been vented out at those around
them.
Hudson walked to Paige's side. Due to the cold autumn wind, he adjusted the blanket draped around
her
"Get out, tell... tell her to get out, that b*tch!"
Hudson's brows furrowed even more deeply. "You're already in this state, why don't you know how to
repent? What else do you need to be so hateful about? She and Jerry are already divorced and she is
no longer a member of our family. It is only out of concern for her friend that she's here to see
Santiago."
Hudson reached the unpleasant realisation that Paige had really changed. Compared to when she was
younger, she had become very unreasonable.
However, this was something everyone knew as a certainty. Men could also change, moreover time
and their environment could also change many people as well.
Hudson caressed Paige's hand. "Forget it, she's just here for a visit."
Paige gritted his teeth fiercely and shook her head.
Hudson sighed, "But given your current state... If you really wanted your revenge, I'm sure that if you
recover well, you can still do so."
Hudson stood up and pushed Paige back to the Ink Garden.
When Raeleigh returned to the Fragrance Garden, Belle had just finished her meal and was overjoyed
when she saw her. She held Raeleigh's hands and asked, "Why are you here? Is it because you aren't
used to living outside and now you're back?"
Jepherson stood aside and said, "I wanted her to be here. I'll be away for a few days. Since no one's
here to take care of things, I got worried."
"I can take care of Santiago. Why do you need Raeleigh here? It's inconvenient for her body to go
about like this and yet you're going to let her do this?"
Belle was really speechless with this son of hers. If it was said that he was young and immature, he
had proven to be considerate when he handled matters for others. If it was said it was due to genetics,
her husband was even more severe in comparison when he was younger.
Sometimes, when Belle thought about it, she still felt a lingering worry in her heart.
"Xanthus is here too. I just want her to keep an eye out a little. Grandma and Grandpa need you and
Dad to take care of them. I'm very worried."
"We are still young, your father and I can do it."
Belle didn't want Raeleigh to overwork herself.
"It won't happen again." Jepherson promised.
With that reassurance, Belle said, "Since you are already here, then you can stay. I'm also very worried
about you as your parents aren't here with you."
"..."
Raeleigh didn't say much and they all went to see Santiago. Raeleigh went straight for him after she
entered the room. She placed herself beside Santiago and remained vigil over him.
In fact, she didn't leave his side at all because she was concerned about Santiago. She did not know
when he would wake up.
Everyone exchanged looks over her head. In the end, no one spoke as they all looked at Raeleigh in
this manner.
After dinner was eaten, Jepherson left his home to head for work. Belle went to see her son off. When
she arrived at the door, Belle asked, "Jerry, are you really going out, or..."
Jepherson looked at his mother and said, "I have business to attend to."
"Raeleigh is a good girl. You should treat her well. I like her, even if she has someone else's child."
Belle didn't know what had happened before, but judging by the current situation, the biological father
to Raeleigh's child was already dead and Raeleigh did not show much emotion. In that case, they...
"Mom, please go back."
Jepherson turned around and after he sat inside the car, he gave the instruction to drive away.
Inside the vehicle, Jepherson slowly closed his eyes. Austin's handsome and imposing features flashed
across his mind's eye.
If Austin was really the person in Raeleigh's heart, what does it mean that she has accepted him in
such a short time?"
Was Austin too nice or it was him that was lacking?
Now he'd really like to see him whether he's dead or alive. Jepherson was unwilling to lose Raeleigh,
no matter who the person was.
The car arrived straight at the airport. After he got out of the car, Jepherson headed in where Stuart
waited for him.
Jepherson wasn't surprised to see him standing there with a messenger bag in hand. When he saw
Jepherson, he called out."Mr. Jepherson."
Jared chuckled from behind Jepherson. "Are you alright?"
Stuart smiled, "I'm okay."
Beside him, Hadrian pushed Scarlette forward. When she saw Jared, she exclaimed, "So you are
Jared. I thought you were just a legend, but who knew you were real."
Her words amused Jared.
Jepherson looked at Hadrian and his group. "Jared will stay behind to protect Raeleigh and Santiago.
All of you just go about like you usually do. The specialist has already arrived and would later arrange
for your surgery."
"Mr. Jepherson..."
She was so touched, she wanted to cry. Originally she was supposed to receive the operation from the
start, but she didn't believe in its success rate. No matter what Mr. Jepherson said, threatened or
coaxed she still didn't agree.
Eventually, Stuart had the surgery first.
It was the moment when she saw Stuart standing on his two feet that she changed her mind.
Jepherson calmly said, "Remember to take good care of yourself."
"Sure..."
Scarlette's tears fell, and Hadrian immediately used his handkerchief to wipe it away.
Jepherson glanced at the time and proceeded for the security check area.
Jared and the others watched Jepherson leave. Afterwards, they made their way out of the airport,
unaware of a shadowy figure that followed them from behind.
...
Ink Garden
"What are you doing?"
Paige suddenly refused to eat. Hudson persuaded her to no avail and she spat out all the food in her
mouth.
Hudson had no way to deal with her when she's like this. He sat across from her with a strained look on
his face. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Paige wasn't like this when she was younger, but as she grew older, her attitude had changed.
Ever since she saw Raeleigh, no matter what he said she refused to eat.
Hudson could only talk to her.
Paige's eyes were full of tears, her lips faintly trembled, before her face scrunched up and she cried
unattractively.
Hudson immediately put down the plate and held Paige in his arms.
"Don't cry, don't cry, it's my fault, it's my fault."
Hudson repeatedly said that it was his fault, but Paige didn't stop. Instead, she cried even more fiercely.
There were no servants in the room, only Hudson and Paige. Her cries pierced his heart and shattered
it to pieces.
No matter how bad Paige was, she was still his wife.
This Paige in front of him was too miserable for him to handle!
