Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1055

Raeleigh and Jepherson stayed abroad having fun for two more days. They finally flew back a week after they departed. Jepherson followed Raeleigh back to her house.

Novalie and Xanthus were chatting with each other while watching TV.

Novalie didn't like it when Xanthus visited, which he did every week. It was frankly annoying.

However, out of courtesy, she said nothing. Xanthus had said that it was volunteer work, so she could not very well demand for him to leave.

However, Novalie knew deep down that Xanthus had an ulterior motive behind his visits.

They were watching TV when Raeleigh and Jepherson entered the compound. The couple first saw a pair of leather shoes at the door and halted momentarily in their steps. Raeleigh turned around and glanced at Jepherson, asking, "A visitor?"

Jepherson naturally knew what Raeleigh was hinting at. He trailed behind her into the house and they changed into indoor slippers. As soon as they went in, they saw Xanthus sitting inside.

At the sight of Raeleigh, Xanthus stood up and

greeted her. "You're back?"

Raeleigh froze for a moment and then went over to her grandmother. "Grandma, I didn't know you had a visitor."

"Ah, yes. Isn't it the weekend? Dr. Osteen came to visit. He comes here every week. You were busy for a few weeks, so I didn't have the chance to tell you. Scarlette was here yesterday. But she had something to do, so she's already left."

Novalie looked at her granddaughter and then at Jepherson.

Jepherson was carrying a lot of things. Seeing Novalie, he hurried over and set the items down in a corner. After that, he took off his coat and sat down with her, as if it was his own home.

"You're so happy today. What's the good news?" Novalie could read people's emotions. She could tell as soon as she saw Jepherson that something was making him rejoice from the bottom of his heart.

"There's something we have to tell you later." As soon as Jepherson spoke, Raeleigh blushed. He was unbelievable. He didn't have to spread the news that she was pregnant.

Raeleigh put her belongings down and stowed their luggage away properly. Then, she poured a glass of water for Xanthus.

"I'm very grateful for your frequent visits to my grandmother." Raeleigh thanked him and sat down courteously. Xanthus sat opposite her and looked her up and down, and he then replied, "It's what I should do. I often visit people. But most of them have other family members with them. But your grandmother stays alone in this house. I chat with her for a bit every time I visit. I have nowhere else to go anyway."

Raeleigh nodded, and continued. "Last time, you asked me about the fire incident in the orphanage. I inquired about it for you. I heard that everyone died in that accident. I don't know if that's true or not. But a lot of children did die. It was tragic."

What Raeleigh said took Xanthus aback. When Novalie glanced at Xanthus, she noted that his face seemed pale.

After a while, Xanthus said, "For so many years, my parents have always wanted to find my sister. If a fire really happened and everyone was burned to death, the least I can do is to find her corpse."

Raeleigh frowned. He was looking for a corpse?

Xanthus was suddenly overcome with depressive emotions. He could not sit there any longer. Thus, he picked his belongings up and said as he got up, "Sorry, I'm not feeling too well. I'm leaving now. I'll visit again when I'm free."

After that, Xanthus immediately went to the door, put on his shoes, and left right away.

Raeleigh saw him off. She gazed outside for a long while and did not return until he drove far away into the distance.

When she returned to the living room, Jepherson was waiting at the door. Jepherson asked, "Is Xanthus also looking for his sister?"
