Chapter 1735
"Do I know you?" Raeleigh asked. However, the man withdrew his smile and said, "No. But when I see you walking alone in the dark, especially in such weather, I thought it would be bad if you encountered the bad guys. You seem like a beautiful and spiritual woman."
Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, "Thank you."
The man flashed her a faint smile, then looked in front of him. "Let's go."
When Raeleigh told the driver her address, the man frowned slightly and asked her, "Are you from the Osteen family?"
"Yes."
The man was baffled. "That's weird. The Osteen family doesn't have any daughters, right? Moreover, Xanthus is the only son in the family. Are you their biological family?"
"I'm his fiancee, but it's a long story. We have no feelings for each other, but his parents like me, so they adopted me as their daughter, and I live there now."
"I see. But as far as I know, Xanthus is a good person. However, his job is not suitable for the
Osteen family's business."
Raeleigh did not say anything more. The man seemed to have noticed something, so he stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the car gradually quietened down.
Raeleigh observed the man's shirt under the dim light and noticed that he had dressed casually in a gray suit and a white shirt. Perhaps because of the cold weather, he wore a white scarf around his
neck, giving him an elegant aura.
In fact, most men dressed like this, so it was hard to tell whether the man had a good sense of fasion or not. However, he gave off a unique charisma.
Jepherson was the most charismatic man Raeleigh had ever seen and ordinary men could never compare to him.
Even Zorion was not his match.
But the man in the car had a completely different charisma. He was quiet and gentle, just like a noble person.
Raeleigh admitted that his good looks had been one of the most outstanding aspects, but other than that, his calm and elegant charisma attracted her attention.
It was the first time that she had felt this way
towards a man.
The lights outside the car shone on their faces. Raeleigh called her driver, Zoman, and told him that she was almost home.
The driver hung up the phone and turned back home, then waited for her at the gate of the manor.
When Raeleigh arrived at her place, she got out of the car and said politely to the man, "Thank you."
The man in the car smiled and replied, "It's my honor to meet a girl like you. I hope we still have a chance to meet."
Raeleigh wore a smile, "I'm flattered."
"May I know your name?"
Raeleigh hesitated for a moment, then said, "Raeleigh."
"Raeleigh?"
The man paused and asked, "Your surname is Anson?"
"I am an orphan. After the Osteens adopted me, I changed my nationality. Now that I am registered in their household register, I changed my surname too.
I had no family name."
With that, he smiled at Raeleigh. "I see. Sorry to bother you. I have to go now."
"Take care."
Raeleigh stepped back at the gate of the manor. The driver pushed the door open and bowed to Raeleigh. Then, he got into the car and left.
Before the car drove away, the man rolled down the window, then man stuck his head out and said to Raeleigh, "I'm the fifth child in my family. You may call me Mr. Fifth if you don't mind."
Raeleigh stared at him and smiled. "See you, Mr. Fifth."
The man paused for a moment and smiled.
He rolled up the window and left. Raeleigh watched the car leave and frowned slightly.
Just then, Zoman walked up to her and asked worriedly, "Miss, where is Mr. Jared? Didn't he go out with you?"
She glanced at him. "He has something to do. He went out."
"Should I tell Mr. Richards?"
Zoman became increasingly worried. He had doubted that Jared would not treat Raeleigh well and now he felt that he was right.
"There's no need. He went to the toilet."
Raeleigh turned around and walked into the manor as Zoman said hurriedly, "Miss, get in the car and let me drive you in."
Raeleigh shook her head. "There's no need. I want to go back. It is not very late yet. Let's go inside.
"Zoman, please don't tell Xanthos what happened today. I don't want him to worry about me.
You know that he has worried a lot for me in recent years."
"Got it, Miss."
After Raeleigh finished her words, she entered the house as Zoman drove the car into the villa.
As soon as she walked into the house, she heard the sound of a car behind her. She stopped and turned around to look at the person who had shown up at the door.
Jared got out of the car and stared at Raeleigh's calm and indifferent face. Then, he stepped out and said to her, "Are you trying to seduce every man you meet?"
Raeleigh thought for a moment. "If every man means all the men in the world excluding you, then you're right."
She turned around and continued walking as the moonlight illuminated her path. She wrapped her coat tightly around her as she walked.
Anything could happen to a woman like her, so who would believe her loyalty by then? NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
She could see from Jared's eyes that to him, she was a skittish woman.
Ironically, Jepherson had hired such a man to work by his side.
Raeleigh didn't have a good sleep that night and she remained awake until dawn.
She felt much more relaxed without Jepherson's presence. In the morning, she still had time for her morning exercise.
She only took a walk around the manor for an hour, from the house to the garden.
It was six in the morning by the time she finished circling the house. At that time, she was fully warmed up.
But then she saw Jared in the garden. Apparently, he also got up early to exercise, or perhaps, to keep an eye on her.
Raeleigh wiped her sweat and walked back. However, Jared said in amusement, "I can't believe that you sweat so much only after a short walk."
Jared's insults came from behind. Raeleigh turned around and looked at him but said nothing. Then, she turned around and walked toward the house.
Jared stood behind her and asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem like you want to talk to me. Do you have a grudge against me?"
She turned around and replied, "I prefer the mute back in the village."
Jared shuddered upon hearing that. Raeleigh turned around and walked away before he could react.
