Chapter 1636
The moment the door was shut, Raeleigh suddenly quieted down, aware that something wasn't right.
Then the gentle sound of the car being locked was heard and Raeleigh twisted her gaze to the front of the car, her face pale.
Jepherson's hand trailed up to the inside of her skirt but was pressed down by Raeleigh's hand to stop him. She looked at him, her face flushed and her heart racing as she murmured, "You can't do this."
"Why not?"
At his question, Raeleigh swallowed but pushed forth, "You can't do this. I already have a husband."
Jepherson's body jolted in shock and recalled that their divorce papers had already gone through. He grinded his teeth together, unable to calm his turbulent heart. "Say it again."
Raeleigh tried to appease him, "I have my own life. Don't be like this."
"What's his name?" Jepherson's eyes darkened. He stared avidly at Raeleigh's dainty face that was now flushed red from their previous activities, so red it seemed that blood would drip out from her pores..
Raeleigh turned her head away, "Austin!"
Jepherson's whole being gave a faint tremble. He removed his hand from under Raeleigh's skirt and placed it on his thigh.
Raeleigh made to get up but was barred by Jepherson's arm around her waist. "Don't move or you'll bear the consequences."
Raeleigh just so happened to be right between his legs. The moment he declared this ultimatum, she immediately went quiet, her face flushed a deeper scarlet red.
Jepherson leaned back, an arm circled around her waist which he used to push her into his embrace. He rested his head against the headrest and shut his eyes, breathed in deeply and gradually calmed down.
Raeleigh looked at the way Jepherson struggled to swallow down what she said and slowly turned away, fixing her gaze out the window.
All that happened was caused by their environment. It wasn't their fault, and neither was it his.
Even so, she couldn't remain in such an environment anymore than she had to.
There were too many things that she wasn't willing to think of.
After he struggled out of his turmoil, Jepherson's hand touched Raeleigh's abdomen. He caressed it for a minute or two, before he asked, "He's also here?"
"He had something to do and can't come over. I also didn't tell him." she replied after a moment's thought.
Jepherson slowly blinked open his eyes and stared at Raeleigh. His hand landed on the bracelet around her wrist and traced his finger around it, "He didn't take your bracelet off?"
"He did think about it, but it wouldn't open."
Jepherson chuckled lightly. "Even with advanced technology, it couldn't be broken apart. Not to mention..."
Jepherson trailed off and didn't continue. He put Raeleigh beside him and held her close by the hip. With one hand at the back of her waist and the other hand free, he rapped his knuckles against the window. The driver unlocked the car and both him and Stuart got in. Soon after, the car drove off.
Jepherson was still leaning back against the seat, his arm wrapped around Raeleigh. This time, she didn't do anything else other than adjust her clothes, in order to avoid angering him.
It was only when the car rolled to a stop at the hotel's entrance did Jepherson open his eyes. Stuart held the door ajar as Jepherson gave Raeleigh a look, "Get down."
He then stepped out first. Raeleigh took a brief glance outside and followed Jepherson.
Raeleigh looked up at the hotel as the car door shut behind her.
It was this place again. She was here once more.
Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh. He raised his hand and motioned for Stuart to return the handbag to her. Once the bag was handed over, Jepherson started to make his way into the hotel.
Raeleigh followed a moment later. At this time, Jepherson had already walked up to the entrance. Upon noticing that she wasn't by his side, he paused. When she came close, he grabbed her hand in his and tugged her into the hotel.
Stuart lowered his head a little. Jepherson will hurt Raeleigh if he continues to do this.
Since she's already married, for him to still act this way was inappropriate.
Raeleigh looked down at their joined hands. She didn't know what to say in this situation, and by the look of things now, she also had no other ideas on how to get out of it.
Jepherson kidnapped Cynthia, all that trouble in order to force her out.
The manager of the hotel was still the same person, she noticed the moment they entered. When he saw Raeleigh, he did not recognize her at first glance, but recognition came quickly soon after. The manager rushed forward to greet them, "Mr. Richards."
"Mind your own business. Don't come to disturb us."
"Understood."
Raeleigh gave the man a brief look before she was tugged forward into the private section where the exclusive elevator was at. After they entered, Raeleigh and Jepherson were the only two people around.
Raeleigh felt uneasy from head to toe. In actuality, she couldn't look back to the days they spent together. He just didn't understand that she wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life. The fact that his world and hers weren't compatible, was something she had no way of changing.
Jepherson held her hand as they waited for the elevator. He waited until they were inside before he pushed her against the elevator wall, his breath heavy on her face.
Raeleigh retreated a step, her hand raised to push him away, "Please don't do this."
"Divorce him."
Jepherson's breathing was uneven. His gaze held pain beyond belief. He had looked for her for so long, and this was her explanation?
Before anything could begin, she just decided to throw in the death sentence?
Raeleigh shook her head. Jepherson scowled. "I'll marry you!"
"I have a child."
Raeleigh solemnly announced this to Jepherson, who laughed mirthlessly, "I will provide you with support." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Raeleigh shook her head once more. "I don't trust anyone but myself. I also have my own difficulties. Don't be like this and release Cynthia."
"Hmph, Raeleigh... We can also have children of our own."
"That's different. When I gave birth, the doctor said that I got hurt and would not be able to get pregnant anymore."
Jepherson was stunned for a moment. "That's just right then. Let him be my son."
"The child is innocent."
At Raeleigh's words, the expression on Jepherson's face changed. He lowered his head and covered her lips with his own. He gently bit down, his emotions all tangled together. Pieces of memories flashed across his mind that sent waves of heartbreak so painful, he kissed her deeper to drown it out. Raeleigh made no sound and yet he moaned as if in agony.
Raeleigh watched Jepherson throughout and thought, 'He's in so much pain, he could have had this as well...'
He kissed her for quite a while. It was only until the elevator doors slid open did he stop. He checked the area outside the elevator, and tugged Raeleigh through the doors.
Raeleigh was then pulled into the lounge area where she was immediately pushed against the door by Jepherson after she entered.
He placed both hands on either side of Raeleigh's head, his body pressed up against hers as he used his size to spread open her legs.
"If you want me to release someone, there is a way. You ultimately need to show a little sincerity." Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with his bottomless eyes. "You won't force me!" she exclaimed.
"That was the past."
Raeleigh closed her mouth and said nothing.
Jepherson leaned forward and pecked her on the lips. Raeleigh turned her face away, "Don't do this."
Jepherson followed her movement as if he didn't hear what she said. He kissed Raeleigh's mouth, pestered her and gently caressed her. No matter what he did, he did it without a conscious thought. He was fully reliant on his present urgency and impulse.
Raeleigh lifted her hands to resist him, but he had already slid his hand inside her skirt.
