Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1030

Santiago twitched. As his lips itched, he lifted his hand and wiped it. This terrified Deanna. Immediately, she put her hand behind her back as she shook her head, as if subconsciously trying to assert that she was not the one who touched his lips.

It just so happened that Scarlette walked past the ward. As she saw Deanna' s overwrought expression, she wondered if she had gone hysterical again.

Deanna took a seat, pretending that nothing happened as she waited for Raeleigh and the rest to return to the ward. Santiago was still asleep.

Raeleigh brought some chicken porridge while Zorion was carrying a fruit basket. Jepherson came back empty-handed.

Scarlette had a feeling that Deanna was not mentally sound. She grabbed hold of Raeleigh's arm and whispered in her ear.

"Stop making a fuss over this issue,” Raleigh said as she shrugged her off. She then walked towards Deanna and handed her the chicken porridge. "Dig in while it’s still hot," she said.

"Okay," Deanna replied. She took the porridge and started eating. Raeleigh then headed straight to see Santiago. She laid her palm on his forehead. Then, she tucked him in.

At that moment, Santiago woke up. Raeleigh was not sure if she had kneaded too hard when she touched his forehead.

"Ahhhh..." Santiago yawned. He stroked his face before pulling back the quilt. Bemused, Raeleigh then tucked him in once again lest he caught a cold.

Jepherson walked into the ward. While waiting for Raeleigh, he took a seat.

Raeleigh looked at Santiago and asked, "Has the headache subsided?"

"Try getting a traumatic head injury yourself, how about that?" Santiago said as he twitched his eyebrow and glanced at Raeleigh. As she was even- tempered, Santiago’ s sarcasm was like water off a duck's back to her. However, others might take umbrage at his mockery.

No one else could afford to offend Santiago.

Deanna was visibly displeased. "What’ s with Raeleigh showing excessive concern to Santiago?" she thought.

"Let me ask the doctor if he can prescribe some painkillers for you," Raeleigh said. "Nah, it's okay," Santiago said. "I was just pulling your leg. Got

you."

Raeleigh was speechless. "Why was he cracking jokes at this moment?" she thought.

As he glanced at the door, he said nonchalantly, "I'm doing well. I've eaten and drunk to my heart's content. You're all busy people. Go and get moving."

"No worries, we're free," Zorion said smilingly. At that moment, his car crossed his mind. "My car, give it back to me," he said.

Zorion paused for a moment. "You lost the bet," Zorion said. "That car's mine now. We made a bet and you lost. And now you want your car. How ridiculous can it be?"

"Liar, when in the world did I make a bet?" Santiago said contemptuously. Deanna could not help but to be amused. Raeleigh couldn't care less. She was level-headed enough to tell who was right and who was wrong.

"Deep down, you know very well if you've made a bet," Zorion said. "Mind you, I've got the CCTV footage when you came over to my house and made a bet. Lose the bet, lose the car. You can't take the car back. Don' t you think that' s unreasonable?"

Zorion was precisely trying to the truth upside down.

"Well that car's not mine anyway," Santiago said. "It belongs to Raeleigh. Give it back to me and I won't call you to account. If you refuse, then no biggie. Sooner or later, I'm gonna get it back."

Deanna almost burst into laughter as she looked at Santiago. Raeleigh and Jepherson remained quiet.

Everyone knew that despite what Zorion said, he did not truly mean it. Be that as it may, no one bothered to clarify. At times, silence was golden.

After standing for quite some time, Raeleigh sat beside Jepherson. Santiago did not say anything as he was exasperated.
