Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1019

Raeleigh got out of the car and was pulled over by Santiago by the wrist. Holding her hand, they walked into Richards Manor. Scarlette left Raeleigh's things safely in the car. After all, who would dare to come to the gate of Richards Manor to steal something from the car? Wasn't that asking for trouble?

With that thought in mind, Scarlette chased after them.

Raeleigh was escorted to Richards Manor. Just as she entered, she saw Zorion and the Old Madam of the Richards family standing there, chatting away in the Ink Garden.

Marissa wore a long formal dress and a white cloak. The skirt was dark green, which made her look dignified and regal.

Seeing Raeleigh's appearance, Marissa froze for a moment. How could that child dress that way?

She then looked at her grandson, Santiago, and understood. Was he trying to tell others that they were birds of a feather?

In fact, Raeleigh was also dressed in a simple and elegant way. However, on such an occasion to meet the future in-laws, in the eyes of people with high status like Marissa, it would have been better for her to have changed her clothes and worn something more formal.

Marissa's face sank slightly. She was about to say something about it, but then she suddenly thought of Zorion next to her. She inadvertently glanced at Zorion. Surely enough, Zorion was staring at Raeleigh in a daze. And his eyes had already betrayed his love for Raeleigh.

Marissa's mood instantly improved.

Who was Zorion? He had to lose to that good-for-nothing grandson of hers. That meant that her grandson was either very successful or that Zorion was useless.

Thinking of that, Marissa felt more at ease and cooled down. When she looked at Raeleigh again, she was not angry anymore.

However, Marissa still didn't give Santiago a good look. She rolled her eyes and said, "You're so unruly. Are you so desperate for food that you came running as if your life is in danger when called for dinner? Do you not have food to eat outside of the house?"

Santiago stopped, let go of Raeleigh's hand, and said, "Of course not. I just found it strange. Why do you suddenly want to have dinner together?"

Marissa did not bother answering his question.

Instead, her gaze was focused on Raeleigh. Although she was not actively being mean to her, there was an alienating look in her eyes.

"Why have you come here for dinner without changing into more appropriate clothes?" Marissa said it in a way that wasn't disparaging her, but was nonetheless questioning her appearance.

Raeleigh wanted to explain herself, but before she could say anything, Santiago had already spoken. "There's no actual reason. We were busy, and yet we're expected to heed your call immediately, right? If we had gone to change our clothes, then we would have arrived late, and you would have lectured us about it too."

"What do you mean by this? I was only asking, and I didn't even criticize you or anything. Look at you. What are you doing? If you're half as sensible as Zorion, then I need not worry so much and can rest assured." Marissa didn't like Santiago. She didn't like him since he was a child. He had always been spoiled by his parents.

"Grandma, I think you're pretty rest assured now as it is."

"You... you'll be the death of me. Don't let me catch sight of you. Stay away from me." Marissa disliked Santiago so much that she sent him away without saying anything else.

Santiago didn't care about those things. Without being bothered, he dragged Raeleigh into the room.

At that time, Jepherson was already waiting in the room, sitting on the couch. Seeing Raeleigh, he put his leg down and stood up.

Raeleigh pulled her hand away from Santiago. She lowered her head, seemingly very embarrassed.

"I'll leave first." Santiago turned around and headed outside. As he stepped out of the door, he bumped into Deanna, who was about to enter, and stopped her.

"What are you doing?" Deanna's tiny face was puffed up from anger. She raised her head to look at Santiago. She had never seen someone so annoying. She felt that she was so unlucky to have to meet him wherever she went.

"Raeleigh and Jepherson are inside. It's inappropriate for you to go in."
