Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1692

It took a long time for Lenold to answer the phone. When he finally answered, Jepherson cut to the chase and asked, "What military rank is he?"

Lenold initially wanted to yell at Jepherson because he shot the walkie-talkie on his shoulder the other day. The situation was very urgent at the time, so he did not have the time to think. Had Jepherson's aim been a little off, the result would be fatal.

But just as the words were about to come out, he decided to bite his tongue.

"I will give you an explanation for this, but you have to promise me that you're not going to do anything illegal."

Lenold exited the headquarters and found a quiet place to talk.

Jepherson leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs. "Well, I can promise not to kill you!"

Raeleigh, who sat opposite him, did not move at all. She knew that Jepherson was serious this time.

"Jepherson, I have my own difficulties. Remember the person you asked me to investigate? Do you have any idea who he is? I nearly got myself into trouble. I did it for your own good. You and I..."

"You did it for my own good? It's because of you I lost my wife and my daughter. I had to give up my business. It took me three years, two months and twenty-one days to find them!

You sure as hell did it for my own good. If it weren't because of you, I wouldn't have trained so hard, right? I had to search the entire planet for them."

"Jepherson, don't you think I know that?"

"I thought you knew, but I'm not so sure now."

"You're pissing me off. You very well know that it is confidential information. I can't disclose anything to you. Do you think I want to hide it from you? What benefits do you think I would get by hiding it from you?"

Jepherson did not answer. Lenold said, "I am in a very difficult position, but you know how tight the security was at Green House. The man who followed me, is meant to keep an eye on me. I only know the name of the man you're looking for, I don't know anything else. I don't even know where the person went."

Lenold had explained this to Jepherson multiple times. The few first times, Jepherson would respond, but later on, he kept quiet. Lenold was so angry that he did not know what to say. He did not say anything because he was tired of explaining.

However, Lenold did not hang up the phone. He waited for Jepherson's response. Sure enough, Jepherson was not done.

"Since you know he's an Interpol officer, there must be a way for you to investigate who he is. If you can give me the information, then I will let this matter slide, or else, I am going to take action."

After saying that, Jepherson hung up the phone.

Jepherson put down the phone and looked at Raeleigh. She decided not to say anything because she knew he wouldn't listen.

Raeleigh lay down, unwilling to look at Jepherson.

The room itself was spacious. There was a sizeable distance between the bed and the desk. As long Jepherson did not come over, Raeleigh would be able to sleep soundly.

After Raeleigh finally fell asleep, Jepherson got up and went out of the room.

When Raeleigh heard Jepherson open the door, she slowly opened her eyes and watched him leave.

Jepherson must have gone out to gather information about their daughter.

Raeleigh closed her eyes for a bit before turning to look at her cellphone. Then, she picked it up and called Xanthus.

"Hey Xanthus, it's me."

At this time, Xanthus was with Cynthia and was currently rushing to the airport. He was surprised when he received Raeleigh's call because he hadn't been able to get through to her these days.

Raeleigh had turned off her phone for the past couple of days. Xanthus wasn't the only one who couldn't reach her, everyone else couldn't too.

Raeleigh knew what she was doing. She also knew she could handle this matter alone. No matter how many people came, she still would not be able to go back.

"Raeleigh..."

"Xanthus, listen to me. Please don't come here. I will find my own way home. Please take care of mom and dad. Jepherson has found Austin and I think they met. It looks like he's not going to let him go. If you come over, there will be more trouble. So, please wait for me at home." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Raeleigh hung up the phone and looked towards the door. Jepherson hadn't come back yet. Raeleigh put down the phone and went to the bathroom to relieve herself. Then, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. She took off her clothes and examined the scars on

her body. Most of them were healed, but she still needed to take care of the wounds, otherwise, it will get infected.

Raeleigh then put her clothes back on and came out of the bathroom. Jepherson was still not back yet. So, Raeleigh went back to the bed and lay down to rest. She wanted to have a good rest before coming up with a plan.

Now that Cynthia was safe and Flynt was still a freeman, Raeleigh would be worried even if she left. That was absolutely impossible.

Raeleigh was prepared for the long battle ahead with Jepherson. Otherwise, she could do nothing about it.

Just as she lay down, she suddenly heard someone talking outside the room. Raeleigh opened her eyes again and listened closely. She immediately sat up in bed when she heard Deanna's voice.

Raeleigh then got out of bed and went to open the door before Deanna even knocked on the door. Deanna had brought Jacky along with her and Raeleigh saw that he was holding a fruit basket in his hand.

Deanna's smile reached her eyes the moment she saw Raeleigh. She immediately said, "Raeleigh, I came to see you! How are you feeling?" "I'm doing well. I'm almost fully recovered." Raeleigh stepped aside and invited them into the room. She stared at the fruit basket that Jacky had brought and said, "Stuart, can you please take the fruit basket? Go ahead and cut up some fruits for us."

"Alright."

Stuart entered the room and did as he was told. Lucy also came over to help him. Deanna and Jacky went to sit down. Then, Deanna asked, "Raeleigh, now that you're fully recovered, are you able to go out?"

"Give me a few more days. Why? Where do you want to go?"

Jacky found a seat and sat down. He kept his eyes on whoever who speaks.

Deanna smiled. "I want to treat you to a meal. My cooking skills have improved a lot."

Raeleigh had never heard anyone self-praise like Deanna.

"Alright then, I'll let you know when I'm ready, but do not back out at the last minute."

"I won't. I will never make empty promises. I promise to keep my word."

Deanna was known for being naive. She was very straightforward as well. Raeleigh sat on the opposite side, lowering her head and smiling at her.

Soon, Stuart brought out the fruits. Deanna took out an apple and handed one piece to Raeleigh. She then handed another one to Jacky. Then, she sat beside Raeleigh and said, "Stuart, you should give one to Lucy as well. I grew these apples in Waverly Village. It is now harvesting season. Although we have a huge supply, but we still aren't able to meet all the demands. You'll rarely get to eat these apples."

Stuart picked up a piece and handed it to Lucy. Deanna said, "But don't worry, I brought three crates of apples in the car. Lucy, you can take two crates and bring it home for your family."

"Thank you."

Lucy had heard about Deanna's character, so she will gladly accept her generosity.

Raeleigh then turned to look at Jacky. "Thank you for the other day."

Jacky did not say anything. He just smiled.
