Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1601

Jepherson was looking at her when Raeleigh turned around, and she took a subconscious step back. However, there was a window behind Raeleigh; she would be found out if she bumped into it. The moment she came in contact with the window, she grabbed Jepherson's arm. Though it wasn't exactly successful, her hand slipped down his high-quality shirt; she still managed to grab hold.

At the same time, Jepherson grabbed hold of Raeleigh's waist, pulling her into his arms.

Raeleigh looked up at Jepherson. Jacky also turned around only to be surprised by Jepherson's appearance. He had been standing next to Raeleigh the whole time. The door was on the right, and he couldn't believe he didn't sense Jepherson entering at all.

They were even hugging right then.

Although Jacky found it strange, he looked away the next second, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Raeleigh, on the other hand, pushed Jepherson away.

Jepherson said after letting go, "Be careful."

"Thank you!"

Raeleigh was used to expressing her thanks and continued scanning the room. Although she was still in shock, she did not say anything.

It took her quite some time to calm down.

Jepherson merely stood behind Raeleigh, their bodies nearly touching each other. If she moved even a little, her back would definitely touch his torso.

"You're burning," Raeleigh muttered.

Hearing that, Jepherson took a step back and went out. Jacky looked over and followed Jepherson out.

Raeleigh stayed, but after failing to see anything suspicious, she left the cafeteria as well.

Out the door, she saw Jepherson standing with his back facing her and his hands behind his back, looking as if he was waiting for her.

Raeleigh looked around but didn't see Jacky.

"Don't bother looking. Deanna called. He left."

Jepherson turned to look at Raeleigh. Staring at him, she didn't know what to say as whatever she said would be redundant at this point, having a hunch why he was here.

"Are you here because of Austin?"

Jepherson retorted, "Aren't you?"

Raeleigh didn't answer. Jepherson walked away, saying, "I tried looking for him in all the places I could think of. If I could, I would've found him long ago."

Raeleigh followed him behind. That was the reality; nothing went according to her expectations. What else could she say?

After exiting the prison, Raeleigh followed Jepherson to his car. He opened the door for her to get into the front passenger seat before getting in himself and starting the engine.

As the roof of the car closed, Raeleigh looked behind her but did not see the man Jepherson had brought with him. Curious, she asked, "Where is the man who came with you?"

"He left."

With that, Jepherson drove Raeleigh home, taking his time. Raeleigh leaned against the car, staring ahead.

Neither of them spoke. It was as if no one could say anything.

When they arrived at Waverly Village, Jepherson stopped the car outside. Raeleigh got out, and Jepherson followed.

"It's getting late; rest early. I'll let you know if there's any news." With that, Jepherson went back into the car, still having his gaze fixed at Raeleigh. Raeleigh only then went into the village.

After walking a short distance, Raeleigh turned to look at Jepherson; he was still looking at her.

After some thought, Raeleigh still walked back home.

As she was about to reach home, she saw Callis coming out. Seeing her, he stopped. Raeleigh smiled. "Waiting for me?"

Callis did not answer, which amused Raeleigh. "I almost forgot. You can't speak."

Callis remained silent. Raeleigh walked to him, and they entered the house.

Raeleigh was disappointed that her investigation that day was fruitless. She barely ate that night although Xanthus had prepared all her favorites.

After dinner, Raeleigh went outside to watch the stars, Callis following behind. Raeleigh said, "I really don't know what he is thinking."

He looked at Raeleigh's calm and indifferent face, then looked somewhere else.

Raeleigh turned to Callis, "You also have something on your mind?"

He looked at Raeleigh, took off his coat, and draped it on her.

Raeleigh took a look at her shoulder and smiled before she looked away and said, "He doesn't know I'm only doing this for the baby."

Callis looked at her silently before he looked away as if he was looking at something.

Raeleigh said, "All I want is a simple life."

Callis looked at her for a long time.

Raeleigh added after a silence, "I never thought we would be so distant to the point we have nothing to say to each other."

After standing outside for a while, Raeleigh walked toward a place where there were fewer people. Callis followed her and checked their surroundings from time to time.

The streets at ten were relatively quiet but brightly lit.

Raeleigh stood at the place where the accident happened and fixed her eyes on the village entrance. She said, "Everyone has their path to take. He is naive, and I'm stubborn, so we can only go our separate ways."

Callis looked at her. Raeleigh wore a smile. "You've never experienced any of it, so you won't understand. When your brother finds himself a wife and one for you too, you have to treat her well."

Callis didn't answer; his head still hung low.

Raeleigh ridiculed him, "It seems that you like to have your head hung low; you have your eyes on the ground all the time."

He no longer looked at Raeleigh; his head still hung low.

It was already midnight when Raeleigh went back. Xanthus waited outside the door for her and even criticized her for not learning her lesson.

"If I can give you a good beating, I will."

Xanthus said in front of Callis, leading him to stare at Xanthus while Raeleigh merely giggled. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"I know. I won't do it next time."

Raeleigh buttered up to her brother, hugging his arm, and Xanthus nagged at her as he brought her in. He was just too worried about her.

After she went back to her room, she took a shower and rested. It wasn't until Xanthus said it wouldn't do good for pregnant women to sleep late that she hurriedly went to bed.

Worried, Xanthus slept in the living room so he would be the first to know if anything happened to Raeleigh. If Raeleigh came out at night, he would be able to see as well.

Raeleigh didn't get up that night, but Callis did once.

Xanthus was a little dazed as he looked at Callis, who was walking back to his room after taking a drink. He got up and went over, knocking on his door.

Callis answered the door.

Xanthus observed his burnt face. Although scarred, he could still tell Callis was blessed with a handsome face.

Xanthus said, "Nothing; get some rest."

Callis didn't say anything but only closed the door and went back to bed.

Xanthus shook his head. It couldn't be Santiago; his injury was too severe. The doctor had declared death. Even if he was also an expert in this field, he didn't hold onto any hope.

He only told Raeleigh there was still hope because he didn't want her to plunge into despair.

In reality, everyone knew it was hopeless. But even so, they couldn't bear to tell Raeleigh the truth.
