Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1657

While Raeleigh was listening to the server, Jepherson stepped out of his private elevator, holding his phone. The restaurant had walls made of glasses, and from where she sat, she could see him exiting the elevator.

Just then, a beautiful girl dressed fashionably with her hair down walked toward Jepherson. The scene looked straight out of a movie. The moment Jepherson appeared, the girl swiftly approached him and bumped into him, catching him off guard.

Jepherson was fine, but she fell to the floor.

His eyebrows knitted into a deep frown. Casting his glance at the girl on the floor, it seemed as if something had ruffled his feathers with displeasure pervading his gaze.

Looking up, the girl saw that he had a disgruntled look.

The manager hurried to Jepherson. He was much older than Jepherson, but he did not take their age gap into thought as he went up to Jepherson with his head drooped and apologized.

"Mr. Jepherson, we're so sorry for our negligence. We'll investigate this matter thoroughly."

The manager was uneasy as Jepherson pulled a

long face.

"Deal with this." Without taking a second look at the girl, Jepherson removed his jacket and handed it to the manager. He would not wear anything other women had touched.

The manager took a quick look at the jacket and quickly took it over. Even if he were to do something with it, he couldn't just throw it away; he'd had to check with Stuart.

Jepherson didn't even bother checking what the girl looked like, heading straight to Raeleigh.

When Stuart saw Jepherson coming over, trailed by the anxious manager, he stepped forward and greeted, "Mr. Jepherson."

"Go deal with the jacket."

Stuart witnessed the whole scene, so he obliged and went to the manager, taking the jacket from him before returning to Jepherson's side.

"What have you ordered?"

Jepherson was wearing a white dress shirt. Those in the restaurant rarely saw him dressed so, let alone him having his meal there.

As they became the center of attention, Raeleigh said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. What are you getting?"

"Anything."

Raeleigh browsed through the menu and asked the server, "Are the two dishes you introduced on 20% off?"

The server's mind went blank for a second before he answered. "Yes."

Raeleigh replied, "Your president and I will have one of each then."

The server was at a loss.

Stuart then spoke up, "Go ahead. Do as Madam Raeleigh said."

"Madam?"

The server was reeling in shock. Was the woman before her truly the president's wife?

The server couldn't believe his ears. Raeleigh said, "I'm not. Go on."

Her words left the server in confusion.

Jepherson picked up the menu and glanced at it before throwing out another order, "One order of steak and a side of minestrone."

"I'm sorry?"

The waiter was utterly perplexed!

"Do as President and Madam Raeleigh ordered," Stuart instructed.

Only then did the waiter leave with their order, nearly stumbling as he walked. Raeleigh snickered at the scene, with Jepherson fixing his piercing gaze on her. When Raeleigh withdrew her gaze, she happened to meet Jepherson's scorching eyes. Only then did the smile on her face fade away.

Jepherson asked, "If you can smile at others, why can't you smile at me?"

"Why do you have to put it that way?"

Raeleigh had no intention of continuing such topics, but Jepherson was always capable of saying things she would give a pass. She found it irritating and intolerable.

Jepherson placed the menu on the table, snorted, and looked away, ignoring her.

The conversation came to such an abrupt end even Stuart was clueless on what to say.

Raeleigh then turned to Stuart, asking, "Stuart, have you decided on the date yet?"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Stumped, Stuart answered, "I'll have to bring Lucy to meet my godfather and Mr. and Mrs. Richards. It may be somewhat troublesome."

"Mr. Jepherson will help talk to Mr. Richards about my marriage. I'll also have to visit the Wagner family to obtain their consent."

Raeleigh wore a grin. "I don't think it'll be a problem. What kind of wedding gift do you want?"

Stunned, Stuart replied, "No need. I..."

"Take it as a gift from Raeleigh and me. What would you like?"

Jepherson looked over at Stuart with a devil-may-care attitude, leading Stuart to take back his words.

After giving it some thought, Stuart suggested, "You can just give me a wad of cash."

Jepherson looked straight into his eyes. "You're not even going to beat around the bush, are you?"

Amused, Raeleigh commented, "Stuart, you want us to give you money?"

Stuart answered, "The Wagner family will provide Lucy with a dowry. I have a house. After marriage, Lucy and I will live in the hotel and the Richards Group Manor. I don't want to get too many things as I can't take them with me. With my job, I don't know when I will suddenly..."

"Don't even!"

Jepherson cut him off just as Stuart wanted to say more.

Stuart then shut his mouth as Jepherson's expression darkened. At the same time, the server had brought their food over. Jepherson commanded, "You, sit down."

Stuart pulled a chair and settled down between Raeleigh and Jepherson while the waiter set the steak on the table. Using his chin, Jepherson pointed at it, insisting it was for Stuart, to which he obliged, not daring to oppose.

Raeleigh waited for the two dishes she ordered before they began their meal.

Jepherson still pulled a long face after the meal as though someone had gotten on his nerves.

Jepherson took Raeleigh and left the restaurant while Stuart went to deal with Jepherson's jacket. When he returned, Jepherson and Raeleigh had headed to the airport.

If they hadn't had to wait for Stuart to bring them their passports, Jepherson would've been long gone.

When he saw Stuart, Jepherson instructed for him to bring Lucy along.

"Lucy has to prepare for the marriage; she probably doesn't have the time."

Stuart didn't want Lucy to rush around.

To that, Jepherson said, "Do you think you have the time for a honeymoon if you don't tag along with us?"

Dumbstruck, Stuart pulled his phone out to call Lucy and explain the situation to her, asking if she wanted to go abroad with them.

Raeleigh stood aside, thinking Stuart must have been through a lot. Although he did not experience it all himself, he must have witnessed a lot happening in the Richards family with his own eyes.

It was because he had witnessed them that he would cherish all that he had even more.

Lucy was also sensible as she agreed at once and got to them in less than an hour.

Lucy came wearing a suit and seven-inch heels, dragging her luggage as she made her way to them. Seeing her, Stuart hurried to her.

Raeleigh said to Jepherson, "I admit, you have a good eye."
