Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1591

Raeleigh went back to her room first. By the time Xanthos returned after seeing Lenold off, Raeleigh had already prepared the food. When she saw Xanthus coming back, she told him to wash his hands before having dinner.

Xanthus paused for a moment. "Raeleigh, I saw two people on my way back."

Raeleigh raised her head to gaze at him. "Who?"

"Colston and Louisa."

"Why are they here?" Raeleigh put down her cutlery, unable to figure it out.

"They seem to have bought a house and settled down in Waverly Village. I saw them arranging things outside the house but I didn't disturb them."

"Let's have our dinner first. We can go and check it out after this."

Raeleigh was preoccupied during dinner. How did Colston sneak into the village? She pondered on that disturbing fact.

After dinner, she went to visit Colston and Louisa. On the way, she asked Xanthus, "Since we didn't know that Colston is here, will Stella also be able to sneak in here?"

"No, Jacky has already searched the village. He said she wasn't here."

In fact, they had considered that possibility at the beginning, therefore Xanthos was quite reassured.

Raeleigh didn't say anything else. Arriving at Colston's place, she stopped and fixed her eyes on Colston, who had just brought food ingredients back.

Colston walked at a fast pace. As he went in, a woman came out of the house. Raeleigh saw clearly that it was Louisa.

Louisa had a plump belly and she placed her hand on it as she walked out. The couple was talking about something riveting and they appeared elated.

Raeleigh observed the house they lived in. It was not a high-class one, hence Raeleigh thought it must be rented.

Raeleigh watched for a while before turning to look at Xanthus. "Don't tell Jacky about this first. They should be looking for Colston too."

"Something happened to the Moore family and Colston is here, which means that Colston knows about it. The reason why he came here is to live a peaceful life."

"Raeleigh, your words make sense. Since Colston and Louisa managed to come into the village,

Stella must have her own way to do it too."

"Yeah. That's why I'm going to look for her in the village."

Raeleigh had her suspicions from the very beginning. There was no trace of Stella in entire Capital City and there was no record of her leaving the city. Unless she had escaped underground, she should have been found by now.

The fact that she could not be found didn't mean that she was missing. It was just that her hiding spot was not detected yet.

"Raeleigh, listen to me. Don't do this by yourself. Let Jacky help us."

Xanthus was really perturbed about Raeleigh. In his eyes, he was ineffectual as a brother as he could not deal with a cunning person like Stella. All he could do was remind Raeleigh to be more cautious.

Furthermore, Xanthus failed to see through Raeleigh's mind recently. He had no idea what was going on in her mind at all. In fact, she exuded a sense of unfamiliarity at times.

He was aware that she was hurt because of what had happened to Santiago, especially because the Richards family had decided to send him overseas when she wanted to take care of him. She could not simply leave the country and follow them abroad for Santiago's treatment. So, the option was taken out of her hands.

Xanthus actually wanted to propose to Hansen to let Raeleigh take care of Santiago so that she could leave this dangerous place at least. However, things didn't go his way. After all, Hansen's son was injured. As an outsider, he didn't have the right to make requests

In any case, there was no longer a need to put forward such a suggestion.

Raeleigh fell silent for a bit. "Even if Stella is really hiding in Waverly Village, she won't dare to do anything to me. If she harms me here, she can't run. She isn't a fool. Didn't you say that Jepherson attacked the Doyle family? If so, she won't dare to go back home. If she does, the Doyle family would not let her off. So, she could only stay here."

"In other words, I'm safe for now."

"Raeleigh, why do you think so? Stella is a maniac. If she could hurt Santiago in Capital City, there will be no problem for her to hurt you here."

"It's not the same. There won't be any bias in favor of her here. Jacky will show no mercy to her, neither will I."

Raeleigh turned her face away. "This is not Capital City. Here, she can't get another man like Jepherson to protect her again."

With that, Raeleigh walked away. Xanthus was baffled by her words for a moment as he stared at her disappearing silhouette. For some reason, he had a hunch that she had been bottling up her feelings. Beneath that tough exterior of hers, there was a vulnerable, weeping soul. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

By the time Xanthus returned, Raeleigh had already gone into her room. Feeling uneasy, Xanthus knocked on her door. What followed was Raeleigh's calm and indifferent voice. "Xanthus."

"You're going to bed?"

"Yes."

Raeleigh suddenly came out of her room. She opened the door while rubbing her eyes. She was wearing pink pajamas. It was not until Xanthus saw her that he was relieved. "Go to bed if you are sleepy. Why did you come out?"

Raeleigh answered, "I know your mind won't be at ease if I didn't come out. Then you're going to spend a restless night."

"Fine, I'll go to bed now. You should rest too."

Then he went back to his room to rest. Seeing him return to his room, Raeleigh went back and changed her clothes. After a short while, she came out of her room again, heading out with a flashlight.

The sky had darkened but Raeleigh was not afraid

of the dark.

Leaving her home, she made her way along a street. After she reached the end of the street, she took a detour onto another road.

It was still early for the villagers in Waverly Village. They would not rest this early.

This was especially so as it was the season when they were busy farming their lands.

Raeleigh wandered through the streets where many people roamed around. She effortlessly noticed some strangers who didn't belong to the village.

In this way, it was easier for her to locate Stella.

Just like how Xanthus had seen Colston and his wife. He recognized them at a glance since they were not from the village.

Raeleigh did not manage to find Stella after walking around. She checked the time to find that it was about ten o'clock. Only then did she decide to make her way back.

As Colston and Louisa came to her mind, she took another route and headed for their place. What came to her sight when she arrived there was Colston and a few people who were dressed like the villagers angrily shoving each other.

"Who are you? Why are you being so unreasonable?" Colston raised his hand and pushed a man away. However, the other party was quite barbaric. They shoved him back without saying anything. Their attitude was rather arrogant.

Raeleigh frowned as she had never seen these people before. They did not seem like villagers from Waverly Village. She wondered who they were.

While Raeleigh was watching, one of them went into Colston's house. Colston turned around and intended to go back but two people grabbed him. Colston was unwilling to give up and he fought

with them. It was just that Louisa's screaming could be heard right afterward.

Raeleigh called for help immediately. Worrying that wouldn't be enough, she took out her phone and searched for the audio of the police siren. Then she played it with the highest volume and put the phone in her pocket. Following that, she lowered her head and approached the fighting scene.

As she expected, when those ruffians heard it, they all took flight. Colston made a dash for his home.

Raeleigh walked over directly, pretending that nothing had happened. After waiting momentarily, Jacky's men had arrived. Raeleigh asked them to look for Stella secretly before she went to

Colston's house.

Colston was hugging Louisa and comforting her. When Raeleigh entered, he thought that those people had come back once again. As a result, he suddenly picked up a cleaver from the ground and was ready to fight. However, he was stupefied at the sight of Raeleigh.
