Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1800

Deanna was starving to the point that she was drowsy from hunger. Jacky went to make some food to wake her up, then called her when it was done. She woke up all bleary- eyed but smiled when she took note of who was in front of her. While they ate, she couldn't help but let her eyes wander in the direction of the upper floors and spoke aloud in confusion, "Why didn't Raeleigh return Cedric and Heitor to us? Could it be that she's afraid that we'd find out about some secret?"

Jacky, who was in the middle of his meal, looked up at her. He frowned as he seemed to have thought of something, "Maybe there's no time to send them back. It's not necessarily a secret."

"You've always talked in her defence. Don't you think it's possible? Raeleigh's child has always been fine. At that time when she left, probably she had some fortuitous encounter since her departure was very sudden, yet silent. I think that there's someone in the shadows helping her. If that person wasn't you, then it could only be my brother, because only the both of you have the abilities. Not only can you both help Raeleigh, you can also be her eyes and ears.

My brother keeps a low profile, but he can't hide anything from me. For that reason, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with him. You, on the other hand, have always regarded Raeleigh as your best friend. You told me before that you won't fall in love with any woman except me in this lifetime. That is to say, do you think Raeleigh is the person you appreciate the most?"

Deanna stared at him with her big eyes that viewed the world in black and white. "Yes." was Jacky's calm and poised reply

Deanna was unsurprised and continued, "Then the moment Raeleigh asks for help, you are dutybound to follow, correct?"

Jacky didn't answer yet Deanna persisted, "Was what I said correct?"

Jacky did not answer her question, but said, "You never asked about this."

"But I'm not asking, what I said was just my guess.

Now, let's guess the following development."

Deanna thought for a bit, then started again. "Raeleigh told you that she was afraid to stay here as there are cruel and wicked people everywhere and she just wanted to safely give birth to her baby. Actually, Raeleigh could have given birth here because she wanted to thrive in Waverly Village for the long term, this was what you told me. However, at that time Marissa got better all of a sudden. In which case, Raeleigh got scared as she regarded Marissa as...oh, you know, those types who go around simply biting everything. Raeleigh wanted the baby to be safe, she looked for you and you sent her away.

After being sent away, Raeleigh had her fortuitous encounter with Austin whom she had been searching for all this while. He must have loved and treated her well, just like you. After all, Raeleigh was an extraordinary woman. As Raeleigh got Austin's help, she not only gave birth to her baby, she also got her brain disease treated.

In order to keep the baby safe, Raeleigh decided not to come back. However, Jepherson missed Raeleigh so much that he tried to find her time and again. When he failed to find her, he got upset. He then caught sight of Cynthia, took an unconventional gamble and had her taken away. This was how Raeleigh was forced to come back. Even so, before her return, she had made sufficient preparations and had the child be left in someone else's care.

The person who she entrusted her child to must be very powerful. They do not fear you, my brother, Jepherson, not even the Doyle and Moore families. Then it goes without saying that this person is also able to protect our children and they are the ones who picked up our babies.

Because Raeleigh's baby is also there, she dares not to give our children back to us. It is because as long as we see our little children, then we'll know that there will be another little child. In which case, I'll tell Jepherson and he will find the little child."

While she voiced out her conjectures, Jepherson's footsteps stopped in their tracks as he stood halfway up the stairs. Deanna's back was towards him, but she noticed through Jacky's expression when he raised his head and looked behind her that someone was there. She immediately turned her head around and saw Jepherson's face taut with tension, eyes filled with suspicion and belatedly covered her mouth. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jepherson took the last few steps down the stairs and marched over to Deanna. "Help me think about where Austin is hiding."

She hurriedly hid behind Jacky, her hands on his arm as she tittered nervously, "I'm currently helping someone write novels. Don't take my words to heart. I don't know anything at all. I'm a muddle-headed person right now."

Jacky covered her hands with his in, his head turned to face her, "I've told you before, that careless talk can cause trouble but you didn't believe me. Now see what you've done."

Deanna shook her head. "I was just simply saying."

"Deanna."

Jepherson's eyes were dark as he looked in her direction. Deanna swallowed down her saliva and refused to come out of hiding no matter what.

Jacky looked at Jepherson, "She was just assuming things, I'm sure you can tell."

"I can. I also believe that you have already known about this matter, just that you have never told me."

Jepherson's gaze was incomparably deep. As he spoke and complained at the same time, his gaze went straight past Jacky and to where Deanna was. "I'm just making assumptions about this. Why do you want to force me? I don't know anything." she muttered.

"Since it's just an assumption, then help me assume something, like Austin's whereabouts." Jepherson took a step towards Deanna, as if he wanted to grab her. She held on tighter to Jacky, whose complexion had turned faintly grim. "Don't joke around like this, I don't want her to be scared."

"I can guarantee that she'll be fine."

Jepherson stretched out his hand only for Jacky to grab his wrist, "I've said, don't joke around like this. As long as I'm here, no one can touch her. If she says she's unwilling, that means she's unwilling. Don't mention if it's mere assumption, even if it truly had happened that way, as long as Deanna refuses, you cannot touch her one bit."

"Is that so?" Jepherson's gaze grew grave, unwilling to give in. Jacky flung Jepherson's hand away. "I don't want to fight you. But if you're going to be aggressive, then that will change."

"Oh, just as well. I've always heard from Santiago about how you're a good fighter and you've always kept a low profile. Today, I'll take this opportunity to see it for myself."

Jepherson took off his coat. The dark purple pajamas that were displayed over his figure was like a hallmark of an emperor. Deanna had a bad feeling when she saw how things had progressed, as if a tiger was about to demonstrate their prowess. The outcome of which would be terrible. That's why she hurriedly cut in and urged, "Jacky, let's go. Well come again another day."

Jepherson chuckled. "Did you think that since you come and go as you pleased, that you will now be able to leave so easily?"

Deanna's brows knitted into a tight frown. "Then what do you want? Didn't I tell you? Everything I've said earlier was just nonsense. If you want to know something, why don't you ask Raeleigh?"

"Hmph, it is better to ask you then to ask her."

"Why are you bullying me so?" Deanna cried out from behind, yet she was worried that she would be caught and didn't dare to go over. She just hid behind Jacky, no matter what was said she refused to come out..

On the other hand, Jacky said, "If you want to fight me, I'll be happy to. I also happened to want to take my measure with you. If I'm lucky enough to beat you, I hope that you don't trouble Deanna over this matter."

Jepherson glanced at Deanna who quivered like a frightened rabbit, and lightly said a single word of affirmative.
