Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1082

After getting up from the couch, Raeleigh went to get some fruits, so that she could enjoy them on her walk.

Scarlette looked at Raeleigh and asked, "Why don't you watch them play?"

"I want to loosen my body a little. I'll watch them play afterwards." Raeleigh took a bite of a piece of fruit and made her way upstairs to check her phone. When she picked it up, she realized that she had five missed calls from Jepherson.

However, she also had another missed call from an unknown number.

Raeleigh hurriedly returned the call to Jepherson. He answered the phone within seconds.

"Why didn't you answer your phone?" Jepherson asked, feeling a little anxious.

Raeleigh quickly explained that she was playing cards and that she had left her phone in the room. Jepherson was silent for a moment and he then said, "You could have handed your phone to Santiago and asked him to watch over it."

"How can I leave my phone with Santiago?" Raeleigh was not happy. It would be a breach of privacy. Right then, she and Santiago looked like they were joined at the hip. Others would definitely think that there was something going on between them.

"Don't you trust him?" Jepherson frowned and leaned back on the couch. He had just been lectured by Marissa about not bringing Deanna along with him.

After hearing Raeleigh's complaints, he was then in a better mood.

Raeleigh did not know what to say, but she was feeling a little down at that moment. In fact, she was more worried about Jepherson's and her relationship than she was with Santiago.

"No, it's not that." Suddenly, Raeleigh stopped talking. Jepherson looked down at his hand and asked, "What's wrong? Did you lose money?"

"Nothing. How's your grandmother doing?" Raeleigh did not want Jepherson to call her bluff, so she hurriedly changed the subject.

Jepherson did not reply and remained silent the entire time. He held the phone in his hand. There was no one else in the room. Even Stuart, who was standing at the door, felt that something was amiss.

"Did you hear my question?" Raeleigh wasn't sure whether Jepherson heard her question, so she asked.

"Yes, I did." Jepherson's voice was deep. One could tell that there was something wrong by hearing his uneven breathing. Raeleigh was silent for a while. Then, she said, "I'm going to hang up if there's nothing else."

Jepherson did not answer, but his expression gradually turned cold.

Raeleigh thought Jepherson was signalling that he had nothing more to say, so she hung up the phone.

A beeping sound soon came to Jepherson's ears. After that, Jepherson tossed the phone casually on the table. However, the phone fell and the screen cracked.

Stuart was stunned for a moment and hurried into the room. He picked up the phone for Jepherson. Jepherson frowned and looked at the phone in Stuart's hand. "Can you buy me the exact phone?"

Jepherson spoke the same way he always did. Stuart did not even notice anything, but he could sense that something was amiss.

"Mr. Jepherson, why don't we head over there tonight..."

"Head over where?" Just as Stuart was talking, Marissa entered the room with two people accompanying her. As soon as Stuart saw Marissa, he immediately said, "Yesterday, Mr.

Jepherson said he hasn't been to the hotel in a while, so he wanted to go and have a look."

"It's fine. Deanna is more important right now. I called her several times, but she never picked up my call. What happened between the two of you? Didn't you tell me..."

"Grandma, I told you that I only treat Deanna like my sister. We can't be together." Jepherson turned around to look at Marissa, who looked angry. Marissa immediately said, "I really don't understand. What's so bad about Deanna? Why don't you like her? She treats you and the entire Richards family so well."

"She's perfect in every way, but she's not my cup of tea. In my eyes, Deanna is still a little girl," Jepherson calmly explained to Marissa, but she refused to listen. She slammed her hand on the table.

"Are you trying to piss me off?" Marissa's face turned pale. Stuart rushed over and said, "Old Madam, please don't be angry. That's not what Mr. Jepherson meant. It's just that..."
