Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1017

Raeleigh had never been so relieved, as if she would not have any worries as long as she was with Jepherson, and she slept uninterrupted until the next morning.

When she woke up in the morning, Jepherson was not by her side. Raeleigh stood up and realized that there were burnt marks on the ground nearby. Raeleigh looked at it. The little brook was still flowing. It was damp everywhere. The previous night, she had not been woken up by the dampness. It seemed that Jepherson had woken up in the middle of the night to make a fire. That was why she was not woken up by the cold.

Raeleigh stood up and looked around for Jepherson. Finally, she found him at the river head. Jepherson was standing beside the river, watching it. Hearing Raeleigh's footsteps, he glanced at her and said, "You're awake?"

"Why did you come here?" Raeleigh walked over and asked, not answering Jepherson's question. Jepherson was wearing a white shirt with the rest of his clothes still in Raeleigh's hands. Raeleigh stood on tiptoe and put the clothes in her hands on Jepherson'd shoulder. They looked like an old couple, making Stuart, who had followed her all the way, feel a stab of envy.

If he had a wife like that, then what else would a husband need?

Jepherson glanced at the clothes on his shoulder, took them off, and put them on Raeleigh. "I'm not cold."

Raeleigh then took out a few candies and fed one to Jepherson.

Normally, Jepherson did not like sweets. One reason was that most boys did not like candy. Plus, he was then already a grown man, so it was only natural that his liking for sweets had greatly diminished.

The second reason was that eating too much sugar was not good for one's health. Jepherson was never a person with strong tastes, except for Raeleigh.

Except for Raeleigh...

It was true that he had strong tastes.

Jepherson smiled casually. He held the candy in his mouth and did some stretches. Then, he turned around and walked towards the orphanage, hoping to catch an early meal.

They walked on foot to the gate of the orphanage and it was just in time for them to have breakfast. It was easier for them to enter at that time. The people at the orphanage first registered the two, and they then contacted the dean. When they met him, the dean immediately went to entertain them, took them to breakfast, and met the children.

They had been in touch before, so the meeting was relatively simple. They introduced themselves to each other. Jepherson looked at the previous records of the orphanage and confirmed that that time was also a futile attempt. Jepherson once again had a disappointed expression.

Raeleigh held one of Jepherson's hands. "Let's go and look elsewhere."

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and said, "Let's move on to the next place."

Raeleigh leaned against Jepherson and stared at the children. She left to take a look at the record books and asked after looking at them for a while, "Can you give us a copy of your records, so that we can go back and check with them? Is that alright?"

Of course, the dean agreed. Jepherson being present had aided them in obtaining it

"Sure. I'll have someone prepare a copy for you. Why don't you stay for a couple of days?" The dean invited them over. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Whether or not they were agreeable to the idea of staying over depended entirely on Jepherson.

"Then, we will do as you say. I'm sorry to trouble you." Jepherson did not intend to leave so soon either. He would stay for two days at every place. That was already a habit.
