Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1018

"If you don't do well in the exam, then I'll give you a special privilege."

"I don't want your privilege. It's the same if I rely on myself."

Raeleigh pulled her hand back, not liking Jepherson's behavior. She turned around and walked back to the school. At that time, Jepherson turned around and returned to the car. He sat in the car and ordered Stuart to go back to Richards Manor. He wanted to go back and check on Marissa.

For the past few days, Marissa had been waiting for Jepherson to return home. She had waited for a few days, but he had yet to come back, so she seemed very impatient.

Hearing that Jepherson's car had already arrived, Marissa's face darkened as she said coldly, "He still knows the way back. I wonder where he has been hiding. I asked him to bring Deanna back to visit me, and he instantly ran away, leaving not even a trace of a shadow. This must mean that he's sick of me nagging him."

"Who's sick of you?" Jepherson stepped in. Marissa was making that remark when she saw

Jepherson and snorted, not saying anything else.

Jepherson smiled. He walked over to Marissa and sat down next to her. He took Marissa's hand and asked, "Who made you angry? Tell me, so that I can vent your anger on your behalf?"

Jepherson and his mouth. The minute he opened his mouth to speak, her anger had instantly gone down by half. Then, from looking at his extremely dashing smile, the anger completely dissipated.

Marissa asked only one question. Why hadn't Deanna come to visit during that period of time? From what Marissa recalled, if Deanna had not visited in two days, then she would definitely show up early in the third morning.

However, recently, she had stopped coming altogether. Marissa felt that there must have been something wrong, but the only thing was that she couldn't tell where things had gone wrong, and it did not warrant her to make a visit personally to the Whalen family to enquire either.

She had called several times, but every time, it was Zorion who answered the phone. That kid was not easy to deal with. He always laughed, knowing when to advance and retreat when he talked. No matter how she tried to ask about it, he would not talk about anything that had to do with Deanna. She even invited them over to have some fun but was repeatedly refused.

"What's going on between Deanna and you? Why doesn't the child come here anymore? I don't even get a glimpse of her shadow around here anymore. Did something really happen between you two?" Marissa couldn't help but to worry. Rayan was not a nice person to talk to. The relationship between the two families was out there in the open. If it was destroyed because of Santiago's matter, then there was nothing the two families could say. Ultimately, she would pity her grandson.

Jepherson had a sense of propriety. His smile was particularly bright and clear. "Nothing much. It's just that we haven't been in touch. I'll ask them over for dinner later."

"Really?" Marissa was puzzled. The sun must've risen from the west that day. Why did he agree to it so quickly and easily?

Jepherson leaned to the side. "Grandma, what are you worried about?"

"What do I have to worry about? I just feel that you're not young anymore. It should be time for you to find someone to start a family. That's the root of the matter. The Richards family is a large family and has a large business. If you don't get married early, then how can you start a family?"

"I've actually prepared for this," Jepherson said casually. Marissa was stunned for a moment and she then looked at her grandson. He stood up and said while walking, "Call Santiago home for dinner. Then, call the Whalen family and say that the Old Madam misses them and has prepared a banquet for them."

"Yes." Stuart glanced at Marissa and turned around to carry out his orders. Marissa turned to look at Jepherson. "You want to invite that girl, Raeleigh, over?"

Jepherson turned to look at her and said, "There's no such thing. Santiago is also the son of the Richards family. Grandma, don't be prejudiced against Raeleigh just because of Santiago. Raeleigh has just created hundreds of millions of dollars in profit for our company. This has never happened in years. I want to make Raeleigh an employee of the Richards Group. If I can't retain her, then the loss will be immeasurable. Moreover, she's a piece of juicy meat. Many people are coveting this asset, from Zorion to the Moore family. The three major families in Capital City are all trying their best to get their hands on Raeleigh. Grandma..."

"What?" Marissa somehow felt that things were not so simple.

"I don't want to mix public and private affairs over this matter. No matter how bad Santiago is, he's still a member of the Richards family. His wife must join our Richards Group and contribute to it in the future."

Marissa was slightly stunned, and her face sank. "How can you talk to me like this? Sometimes, your brother can indeed be really annoying. Do you think I'm the one who wants to do that? It's him who's not worthy of it."

"But he's also Santiago, the son of the Richards family." With that, Jepherson turned around and left. Marissa was so angry that she sat on the couch with a cold expression on her face. But after a while, she thought about it carefully. Why were so many people concerned about Raeleigh?
