Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1040

Raeleigh stayed over at the hospital in the next couple of days. Although she was constantly in touch with Jepherson, she did not bring up Santiago' s affair with Cynthia. However, it bothered her to keep mum about it.

Now that Zorion and Deanna were recuperating, Raeleigh wanted to return to her school.

While Santiago and Raeleigh were heading back to school, Raeleigh subtly brought up the subject of his romance with Cynthia. Although she did not speak straight from the shoulder, she nevertheless warned him to stay out of the affair.

Santiago did not respond to her remarks as he was driving. Raeleigh felt a gust of cool air even as she was seated in the rear seat.

Santiago did not immediately get out of the car when they reached the school. Instead, he could be seen yawning in the car.

Raeleigh got out of the car alongside Scarlette. She then asked Santiago, "Not getting off the car, huh?"

"I've got a personal matter to attend to," Santiago said. "Call me up if there's anything pressing. Scarlette, please look after Raeleigh."

He then closed the door and drove off.

Scarlette heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Phew, he’s gone. We're as free as birds."

Raeleigh glanced at Scarlette. Something seemed to be bothering her.

Puzzled, Raeleigh asked, "Did Mr. Santiago inform where he's heading?"

"How in the world would I know?" Scarlette said. "He's always been reticent. I don’t think he would pour his heart out to Mr. Jepherson, let alone us." Scarlette grabbed Raeleigh by the arm and led her to the school. Raeleigh had a feeling that something was amiss. When it rained, it poured. Hence, she had been on tenterhooks.

Raeleigh walked into the school as soon as Santiago's car was out of sight. Santiago looked at the rearview mirror. He accelerated the moment Raeleigh was out of sight.

He drove like the wind, running a few red lights.

Moments after disembarking from the plane, Jepherson received a call from Santiago.

As he made his way to the airport lounge, Jepherson picked up the call. "I'm heading to the Moore family residence," Santiago said.

"No, please," Jepherson said as he stopped walking. Stuart stared at Jepherson, who was looking rather distraught.

The phone was beeping as Santiago hung up on Jepherson. "Off we go to the Moore family home," Jepherson said as he looked at Stuart.

Stuart immediately dashed outside. As Jepherson walked out of the airport and saw the car, he said, "We've got to stop Santiago."

"Okay," Stuart immediately got into the car. Jepherson took off his sweater. There was quite a commotion as a metallic-gray sports car pulled up by the entrance of the airport. "That car belongs to the Richards family, isn' t it?" the crowd of onlookers said.

"Jepherson... Jepherson..."

Some ladies screamed when they saw Jepherson.

Jepherson got into the car. As he ignited the car engine, the cars in the vicinity could be seen converging from various directions and making their way to the Moore family home.

Zorion stood by the window of the ward. Clasping his wrist behind his back, he looked out of the window and saw members of the Moore family walking into the hospital.

His phone, which was laying on his bed, rang at that moment. Deanna was lying on the bed reading a fairy tale book. The moment she heard the phone ringing, she got off the bed immediately. Then, she grabbed the phone and handed it to Zorion.

Zorion took the phone and put it to his ear. "What's up?" he said.

Zorion frowned. "Get the word out that whoever hurts Santiago, the Whalen family will take his life for ten million dollars."

"Zorion, who's trying to hurt Santiago?" Deanna asked. Her face turned pale. Zorion turned around to look at her and said, "No one’s trying to hurt him. On the contrary, he's out there making trouble."

"What should we do then?"
