Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1056

"Here, eat more." As Raeleigh ate, Jepherson kept serving her more food. Raeleigh felt like he was making too big of a deal out of everything. She was merely pregnant. There were so many pregnant people around the world who got by just fine.

Novalie said nothing. She simply ate her meal opposite them. After she finished eating, Jepherson went to wash the dishes. He did not want to let Raeleigh work too hard. He alone took care of the house chores. In fact, he had also hired a caretaker in her thirties to take care of Raeleigh when he was not around.

Jepherson had also bought Raeleigh a house. The house was not far from her university, in a convenient and safe location. It was well-equipped with all the facilities one would need and its layout was comfortable. It was a two-storey house averaging more than 200 square meters on its first floor. There was a guest room and a study for Raeleigh to do her designing.

Raeleigh was opposed to it. That night, she voiced her issues to Jepherson. She didn't want to rely on her child to get by in life. People would point fingers and say that she used her child to get to

where she was.

"The house is not for you alone. It's for our kid and your Grandma. Novalie is getting old. Plus, I don't want Xanthus to come over all the time. Since you're bearing my child, I can't let you be wronged. I'm thinking about how to tell Novalie that you're pregnant. I can't bring you to Ink Garden right now. I wouldn't be able to rest assured of your safety if you're there."

Jepherson knew that some things were out of his control. Anything could happen.

Raeleigh sat on the bed without saying a word. This was her room. The caretaker hired by Jepherson was named Serra. A loyal and honest woman, she had been taking care of Santiago's family and was loyal to the Richards family. Jepherson trusted her.

At that moment, Serra was chatting to Novalie outside of the room, as Raeleigh was telling Jepherson about her not wanting to move. She had initially wanted to argue with him, but he had brought up Xanthus, so Raeleigh remained silent.

Jepherson pulled Raeleigh over and sat down. He said earnestly, "This is our first child. I don't want anything bad to happen. A bigger house can accommodate a few more people. It won't cause any problems if you don't stay at the school dorms. You're only a little more than one month pregnant now. Time passes quickly. Your belly will begin to show, and then what are we to do?"

"Whew!" Raeleigh sighed.

"You're only nineteen years old, and you're having my child. We're still young, so I blame myself sometimes. I didn't think it over properly at first. I feel bad now."

Jepherson pinched Raeleigh's cheek, looking at her meaningfully. Raeleigh realized that sometimes, Jepherson could be extremely sullen. His melancholy could instantly take over him.

"If I move there now, then what's the status of the house? Will you give it to me?" Raeleigh ruminated for a long time, but Jepherson did not respond. "What do you mean?"

Raeleigh thought over it and said, "I don't need it. You have given me enough. If you give me money and property just because we're a couple, then I can't accept them. But I could consider it if it's a reward from the company."

"What's the difference?"

Jepherson raised his eyebrows. Was this her way of being financially independent?

Raeleigh said, "Of course it's different. If you're giving it to the child, then I won't accept it as long as the child isn't born yet. Love is a give and take process between equals. I don't want your grandmother to use this as ammunition against me. If it was a reward from the company, then I can design a car that can be immediately launched in return for it."

Jepherson frowned. "In such a short time, you're going to design a ready-to-sell car?"

"Since Lanox got me a car, if I create another series, it will naturally get me the house, right?"
