Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1047

Deanna was excited to learn that Santiago had never had a girlfriend. Exhilarated, she chimed in, "Well, Santiago isn't exactly a brat. He's saved my life."

"Of course he's not a brat. The Whalens and the Richards have known each other for the longest time. Both of you were childhood friends who grew up together. Naturally, he won't turn his back on you when you're in danger."

"Really?" Deanna said. She looked skeptical. "Yes, absolutely," Raeleigh said.

"Raeleigh, could you please do me a favor?” Deanna said blushingly. "Find out what kind of girls Santiago likes." Raeleigh wondered how Deanna would react if she came to know that Santiago was in a romantic relationship with Cynthia. "Oh, you poor thing. What have you got yourself into,” she thought.

Raeleigh paused for a while and said, "Sure. But it will take time though. I' ve got to find an opportunity."

"No biggie. Be sure to find out..."

Deanna remained silent afterwards. As she bit her lips, she lowered her head. "Raeleigh, do you think

I'm someone who's not loyal when it comes to relationships?"

"Nah, I think you' re pretty loyal," Raeleigh said. Since she was not sure if Santiago would take a liking to her, she could only say so.

Deanna clasped Raeleigh's arm and said, "We're still friends, aren't we?"

Raeleigh turned around and looked at her. "Of course. I mean, if you don't mind befriending me."

"Well, I'd love to keep you as a friend," Deanna said. "I've always wanted to be your friend. But I held myself back. I was just too embarrassed to befriend you then, since I’ ve been making mischief."

Deanna lowered her head, looking rather ashamed of her past self.

"Let bygones be bygones," Raeleigh said. "You didn't mean to cause trouble then. In fact, I was the one who wronged you in the first place as I went into a relationship with Jepherson despite knowing that he was supposed to marry you."

"That’s so nice of you for not blaming me," Deanna said. "Have you forgotten the incident where I turned my back on you when Flynt wanted to take you away?" Deanna was on the verge of crying as she recollected that incident.

Raeleigh turned around and looked at Deanna. "I haven’t had friends since I was ten. Scarlette and you are my only friends. I was the one who wronged you in the first place. You weren't at fault for turning your back on me. You didn't mean to and it had never been your intention. It had to do with your upbringing where you were brought up differently compared to other children. Others may not empathize with you, but I do."

While Raeleigh was talking, Deanna curled her lips and cried. She clasped Raeleigh in her arms and cried under the tree. It was as if she finally found a kindred spirit who truly understood her.

Raeleigh raised her hand and patted Deanna on her back. She had initially thought that she would be able to resolve the problem easily. Alas, it had become more bothersome then.

Zorion watched as Deanna sobbed. Although she was crying her eyes out, Zorion did not bother consoling her. Instead, he turned around and leaned against the trunk.

Zorion felt that there was something amiss about Santiago's gaze.

Feeling low in spirits, he did not feel like talking.

Raeleigh spent some time consoling Deanna. After that, Deanna said, "Raeleigh, I’d like to stay over at the dormitory. Is that okay with you?"

Raeleigh thought for a moment. While she was walking, she looked at Deanna. "Santiago's at my dorm now," Raeleigh said. "I've got to ask him. I guess you should inform Zorion too. Santiago's been staying there for quite some time. Lots of people have been talking behind our backs. I’m used to it anyway and I couldn’t care less."

Deanna held Raeleigh's arm and said, "Well, I don't see what the fuss is about. You guys were merely staying together. I used to share a bedroom with my brother. When I was fifteen, my parents insisted that I sleep in my own bedroom. But I wasn't used to it. In fact, I couldn't sleep well for over a month.”
