Chapter 1622
Deanna could not fall asleep at night. She stayed up all night thinking about the conversation she had with Raeleigh. She just could not put the matter aside.
She lay on her bed and decided to call Jacky.
"Jacky."
"Deanna, why are you calling me this late at night? What's wrong? Are you having trouble falling asleep?"
Jacky was currently in Waverly Village looking for Stella. He had promised Jepherson that he would be able to find her within three days, but in the end, he failed to find her.
Jacky had always been a man of his word. He would do whatever he said. He truly did not think that he would be unable to find Stella.
If Stella wasn't in Waverly Village, then he would still be able to pretend it never happened. However, that wasn't the case. Although Jepherson did not say anything, it did not mean that there wasn't anything wrong.
Waverly Village was massive and trying to find a person in the village was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Furthermore, this village was Jacky's territory. Now, someone had entered his village and committed a serious crime. It was impossible for Jacky to turn a blind eye to it.
Impossible.
He vowed to find Stella even if it meant that he had to turn the entire village upside down. He did not give a damn who the Doyle family was. He was going to find her whether she was dead or alive.
This was the reason why Jacky had been busy for the past two days.
"I just can't seem to fall asleep." Deanna stared at the ceiling, in a dilemma. She did not know whether she should tell him what was bothering her.
Jacky chuckled, "Is this the reason why you called? Did something happen?"
"No, nothing happened."
"Then, are Heitor and Cedric being fussy?" Jacky had been pulling a long face earlier, but right now, his face was filled with tenderness.
Deanna pouted. "I just can't sleep and it's not because of Heitor and Cedric. You know that my parents are the one taking care of them. They don't need me at all. Why would I not be able to fall asleep because of them?"
"If it's not them, then who was it?" Jacky continued to ask. Deanna then said, "Don't worry, they are fine, but Raeleigh did drop by earlier today."
"Raeleigh came over today?"
Jacky pretended to be surprised. In fact, he guessed that Raeleigh would drop by the Whalen family mansion today. When he came out, he caught a glimpse of the Richards family cars parked in the distance. It was just that Jacky wasn't sure that it was Raeleigh sitting inside the car.
Jacky had been so busy in the past two days that he did not have the time to pay Jepherson a visit. Deep down, he knew that Jepherson was fine, although the rumours said that he was severely injured. However, everyone knew that rumours should be taken lightly.
Jacky believed that Jepherson was a tough person and that he would not die so easily. It was just like how he believed that Santiago would wake up one day.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
However, after the Richards family cars pulled up in front of the Whalen family mansion, Jacky's subordinates reported that Raeleigh stood outside and waited for an entire afternoon. The Whalen family initially did not let her in and it was only when it was dark that Deanna came out and brought Raeleigh in. Jacky wasn't sure what was going on, but Deanna's call meant something.
Raeleigh must have gone there because of him.
Jacky raised his head. Logan, who was standing beside him, took out a cigarette and lit it before handing it over to Jacky. Jacky took a puff and asked, "Did she come over to visit the kids?"
"No, she did not come to see the kids. Jacky, I just don't know how to put it." Deanna did not know how to tell him.
Jacky leaned against the car and took a drag on his cigarette, "Just tell me whatever you feel like telling me."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Jacky, Raeleigh told me that she came here because of you. She said that Jepherson wants you to be the mayor of Capital City. She also said that although it was not the highest city government position, it would be of great help to you in the future."
Jacky briefly stretched his neck and smiled, "I'm from Waverly Village. I don't have any experience. How am I suppose to be the mayor of Capital City?"
"I don't know either. Raeleigh told me that your biggest obstacle is not anyone else, but my family. My father and Zorion reject the idea of you being the mayor of Capital City. If they don't intervene, you will definitely get the position. She also said that it's easier now that you have people working below you because they will have your back regardless. She believes that you can be the mayor.
It's just that my family is in the way."
Deanna was dejected. Her family initially rejected the idea of her having a boyfriend, then later, did not allow her to keep the babies because they were afraid that Jacky would take them away. Not only that, they also did not allow Jacky and Deanna to get married although Jacky mentioned that he wanted them to register their marriage first.
Jacky was a person who valued his pride, that is why he stopped asking when he failed numerous times, trying to convince them.
Every marriage was more or less the same. Theirs wasn't any different.
"Deanna, don't listen to anyone. I trust your parents." Deanna was naive and Jacky did not want her to be taken advantage of.
Deanna sighed and said, "This only happened because of me."
"Deanna, are you a good girl?"
Jacky suddenly asked. He threw his cigarette to the ground to put them out.
Deanna said, "Yes, I am."
"Then you have to listen to me."
"Okay."
"You don't need to get involved in this matter. I don't want you to cause any conflict in your family. If I can do it, I will do it. If I can't, well, there's always a next time. There is no rush."
"But..."
"Deanna, I don't want your relationship with your family to be strained because of me. They are your parents. One day, when Heitor and Cedric have girlfriends and they bring them home to meet us, I won't be happy too if we do not get along. Do you understand?"
Deanna thought, "But they're all bullying you. If I don't stand up for you, they will not know how to restrain themselves."
"Deanna, I just want us to be together. I don't care what others say about us, I don't ever want you to leave me. I just want you to be you. Please do not interfere with our matters."
Deanna actually did not want to agree, but seeing how determined Jacky was, she decided to let it go. She told Jacky, "Alright, I understand. I'll be good from now on."
"Alright then, go to sleep now." "Okay."
Deanna hung up the phone, lay down on the bed and began counting the stars. What should she do? Should she listen to him or not?
Jacky put away his phone and stared into the dark night. He asked Logan "Still no news?"
"Nope, we've searched the entire village except for one place. If she's not there, then I don't think we'll be able to find her."
Logan found it strange. If Stella was actually here, then why couldn't they find her? They had searched the entire village, but still saw no signs of her.
The problem was that if these people were not in Waverly Village, then they would not have been able to cause Raeleigh trouble.
These people were too arrogant.
