Chapter 1825 Unable To Move
Chapter 1825 Unable To Move
Raeleigh did not wake up until afternoon. When she woke up, Santiago was not in the room. There was
no one in the house.
Raeleigh walked downstairs and went outside. She found Deanna in the garden, about to barbecue
some meat. Jepherson was playing with Shaney in his arms. When Raeleigh came out, she was met
with this scene.
Jepherson saw Raeleigh coming out of the house from afar. He brought Shaney to Raeleigh and said,
"Hey, you're up?"
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, not knowing how to feel.
"Shaney, why don't you go and play with Cedric and Heitor for a while? I want to take a walk with your
father."
"Alright."
Then, Jepherson put her on the ground and she went in search of Cedric and Heitor. Raeleigh looked
at Jepherson and said, "Come on, let's go."
Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "Where are we going?"
"Up ahead."
Raeleigh then walked in that direction. Jepherson followed closely behind. Both of them were silent.
Shaney returned to Santiago's side. Casting a glance over Raeleigh's direction, Santiago then withdrew
his gaze and continued to cook the meat.
Jacky sat down and asked, "Are you really planning on bringing Raeleigh along with you?"
"What else?"
"I mean why don't you each go your own way? I think it's better that way."
Santiago looked at Jacky. "If it was Deanna, would you still say the same thing?"
"There is no if. You can only blame this on fate. This is the biggest issue between you two."
"I don't believe in fate"
"What about destiny?"
"Destiny?" Santiago thought for a long time. "I don't believe in it either."
"Santiago, you are a smart person. Raeleigh can't ignore you and your brother doesn't want to hurt
you."
Santiago glanced at Jacky. "There are some things that you don't have to tell me."
Jacky snorted.
Jacky smiled as he looked at his two sons who were standing beside him, scarfing down the barbecued
meat. Then, he glanced over at Deanna's abdomen.
"I'm relieved that you are willing to bring Cedric and Heitor along with you. We're having a girl this
time."
Santiago glanced at them. "Your sons are very playful."
Jacky laughed, "I mean, with them around, you won't have to worry about Shaney getting bullied."
"What I'm more afraid of is that a thief is living in my house."
"What are you afraid of? With me and Deanna around, Shaney won't lose out."
"It's easy for you to say. What if your sons..."
"There is no if. Even if there is, it's just a misunderstanding, it will come to an end one day."
Jacky picked up Cedric and looked at Heitor, "Heitor, come here. I want to ask you something."
With Cedric in his arms and Heitor in front of him, Jacky asked, "If I bought something for you two, what
must you do?"
"I must let Cedric have it first," Heitor said. Jacky asked, "Why?"
"Because he's my younger brother. He has to listen to me."
The corners of Santiago's lips curled upward as Heitor spoke.
Jacky looked at Cedric and said, "What about you?"
"I will leave it for my brother because I want the best for him."
Jacky released Cedric and looked at Santiago. "If a child can understand this principle, I'm sure you
can too."
Santiago laughed. "One can only choose between the queen and the princess. Since you gave the
queen to your older son, then your youngest son can only have the princess."
"But there are people who would choose both."
Jacky looked over to Jepherson. Santiago smiled. "Is there nothing better for you to do?"
"No. If I do, why would I give my sons to you?"
"I don't want your sons. I'll bring them back sooner or later."
"Don't go, stay here."
Santiago did not reply. He looked over at Raeleigh.
There was no turning back now.
After walking for a while, Raeleigh asked, "Do you trust me?"
Jepherson said, "Yes."
"I'm pregnant."
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. He paused for a moment and stared at Raeleigh. "Who's the father?"
"Santiago."
Raeleigh glanced at Jepherson before turning around. She said while walking, "It was unplanned."
Jepherson stood in his spot for a long time before walking over. "You should keep the baby."
Raeleigh paused and asked, "You want me to keep it because it's mine or because it's Santiago's?"
Jepherson thought for a moment. "I want you to keep it because you and Santiago made the baby."
Raeleigh raised her eyebrows slightly. "I am not sure whether I will be happy if others give birth to a
baby for him. Even if you had a baby with another man, I will not want you to keep it."
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson's indifferent expression. "Does it hurt?"
Jepherson laughed. "Yes."
"Is this called betRhysal? Your brother, whom you trust most, betRhysed you. He and the woman, who
you loved, did something that you did not expect."
Jepherson's face was pale as a sheet. "Why are you doing this? Why are you telling me now?"
"Because I am leaving and I will never come back.
For you, for me, and for Santiago, staying here is like being stuck in an abyss, but if we leave,
it'll indicate a new start.
We want to go to a place where no one knows us. Then, we'll be able to live our own lives."
"What is your heart made of? You know I can't bear it, yet you still want to tell me. Do you want me to
die?"
Raeleigh stared at Jepherson's pale face. He looked as calm as before. "Everyone has to pay for their
mistakes.
You are no longer a child. There is a price to pay for fooling around."
"I wasn't fooling around with you."
"You were." Anger suddenly welled up in Raeleigh's chest.
"I wasn't."
Jepherson shouted at Raeleigh exasperatedly.
When he raised his voice, everyone heard him. Santiago stood up and walked towards Raeleigh. Jacky
felt that something was wrong, so quickly handed his son to Deanna and followed Santiago. He wanted
to stop Santiago from going over to Raeleigh and Jepherson.
However, Santiago pushed Jacky away and pointed at him. "Do not follow me."
Jacky stopped. "Santiago, this isn't a joke. He's your brother."
"I said, do not follow me."
Santiago turned around and walked towards Raeleigh. Raeleigh said to Jepherson, "You are the one
who sent me away and now you regret your decision. What the hell are you thinking?"
Jepherson gritted his teeth. "What do you want?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"I want to..."
Raeleigh saw Santiago coming over and said, "I don't want to argue with you anymore. Stay away from
me."
Raeleigh turned around and walked over to Santiago. Before Santiago could reach her, she jumped on
him, stood on tiptoe, held his neck and kissed his lips. Santiago's body trembled. His hands paused in
midair as he frowned. Then, he slowly put his hand down and wrapped his arms around Raeleigh.
He pulled apart and stared at Raeleigh, frowning.
"Come on, let's go."
Raeleigh held Santiago's hand and walked back to Deanna. Santiago picked up Shaney and Raeleigh
went to get her luggage. She did not stay for lunch. She just disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After the car left, Deanna looked over at Jepherson and pouted. She instantly knew that their
relationship was over for good this time.
Jacky waited for Santiago and Raeleigh to leave before walking over to Jepherson. "Do you need a
ride?"
Jepherson shook his head and said, "I want to lie down for a while. I won't be heading home today."
Jepherson suddenly felt heavy in his legs. He dragged his legs towards Raeleigh's house. When he
finally arrived, he entered the door and walked to the staircase. Then, he sat down and leaned against
the railing before narrowing his eyes slightly. It took him a long time to recover.
