Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1091

Jepherson looked down at Raeleigh, who was quietly lying in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her. Raeleigh raised her head and looked at him. Soon, she nestled in his arms and buried her face in his chest.

Jepherson tightened his hold around her and carried her back to the house. When they entered the house, he did not put her down. Instead, he carried her straight up to their room.

Zorion and Deanna were still around and had not gone home. When Deanna saw Jepherson carrying Raeleigh, she wanted to go over to have a look. However, Zorion grabbed her arm and said, "Stay here."

Deanna turned around and was met with her brother's unhappy face. However, Deanna felt a little upset when she saw the girl Zorion liked, in another man's arms.

"Zorion, I want to go home," Deanna suddenly said. Zorion was stunned and looked over at her. "Didn't you say that you wanted to stay for dinner? Have you changed your mind?"

"Yeah. I feel like going home now. Come on, let's go," Deanna said as she took Zorion's hand. She briefly glanced over at Santiago, who ignored her, before making her way to the main door.

As soon as Deanna and Zorion exited the house, they got into their car and drove off. Jepherson carried Raeleigh upstairs and sat her down on a chair. He then looked at her and asked, "What happened? Why do you look so depressed? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you."

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson and said, "I'm fine. I'm just in a bad mood. I need a moment to calm myself down. Why don't you go and have your dinner first? I think I'm going to take a nap."

"How would I be able to eat if you're not going to eat?" Jepherson asked as he lowered his head to kiss Raeleigh. She did not know what to do. In fact, she was a little scared. However, she did not dare to avoid him. She had no choice but to suppress her sadness and return the kiss.

After they pulled away from each other, Jepherson interlaced his fingers with Raeleigh's. She turned to look at him and said, "But I don't feel like eating right now."

"Me too. I think it's better if we take a nap."

Jepherson took off his shoes, lifted the quilt, and lay down close to Raeleigh. She looked over at him before she turned to sleep on her side. He spooned her from behind and coaxed, "Close your eyes and go to sleep. Stop thinking about anything else. You'll be fine once you wake up."

Raeleigh wanted to rest. But as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see many people she knew before her. She saw those people whom she knew when she was little, as well as those who knew Jepherson. She could even see the information she read in the archives room, things that she did not want to see. She did not know what to do. It was as if she had fallen into a dark abyss and was unable to escape. She felt helpless and started to panic.

Jepherson did his best to comfort Raeleigh by patting her to sleep. She then gradually calmed down and fell asleep.

When Raeleigh was finally asleep, Jepherson quietly slipped out of bed. He tucked Raeleigh in before putting on his shoes and left the room.

Jepherson closed the door behind him and looked downstairs. Santiago was sitting at the dining table, waiting to eat. Both Scarlette and Hadrian were still here. However, neither of them made their way to the dining table. They had deliberately kept a distance from Santiago.

Jepherson descended from the stairs and made his way to the dining table. He pulled out a chair and sat across Santiago.

Serra came over to ask when she should start dinner, but Jepherson said, "Why don't you prepare Novalie's meal first? I'll bring it over to her later."

"Alright." Serra nodded before entering the kitchen. Santiago looked up at Jepherson and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"What do you want to tell me?" It was not that Jepherson was curious, it was just that this matter had nothing to do with Santiago. It was Raeleigh herself who had a problem. However, Santiago and Raeleigh had been spending so much time together lately. Therefore, he was sure that Santiago must have discovered something.

"Raeleigh might be suffering from prenatal depression." Santiago lowered his head and glanced at his phone. After that, he said, "She said it herself."

"Do you believe her?" Jepherson asked. Santiago did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, "What about you? Do you believe it?"

Scarlette had no idea what Jepherson and Santiago were talking about. It sounded as if they were speaking in code. Can't they speak in layman terms?

After a moment of silence, Serra brought out Novalie's dinner. Jepherson stood up, picked up the food, and made his way upstairs to accompany Novalie.

When Novalie saw that it wasn't her granddaughter who brought in the food, she asked, "Is Raeleigh still in a bad mood?"

"A little," Jepherson said as he put the food down on the small dining table in her room. The two sat down to eat and chatted as they ate.

Novalie talked about herself absentmindedly. "Raeleigh is actually not my biological granddaughter. I don't have kids."

Jepherson slowly raised his head while eating, to look at Novalie. He said, "I know that she's not your biological granddaughter, even if you did not tell me."

"Then, why didn't you reveal this matter?" Novalie asked as she smiled. Jepherson said, "I also know that Raeleigh was one of the kids in the orphanage and you were the one who adopted her. Furthermore, she was from the orphanage near our house. The one that had caught fire."
