Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1100

Cynthia Moore?

Cynthia was wearing a loose, white T-shirt which sported a short phrase. She had paired it with a pair of pink shorts. Although her outfit's color scheme differed from Santiago's, they looked like a couple when they stood together.

Cynthia walked out and glanced at Santiago. She was obviously embarrassed, from how intensely she was blushing.

"Hello, I'm Cynthia Moore, Santiago's friend," Cynthia greeted them shyly.

Santiago smiled. "This is my elder brother, Jepherson, and that's my future sister- in- law, Raeleigh."

Cynthia did not know what to say in reply. She eyed Santiago again. Raeleigh, on the other hand, unwittingly looked at Jepherson. He was probably taken aback too.

But in the next moment, Raeleigh heard him say with a smile, "I heard that you were endowed with both beauty and talent. Well, seeing is believing. It's so nice to finally meet you. If you don't mind, you can consider me as your elder brother the way Santiago does, and you can refer to Raeleigh as your sister-in-law too."

Cynthia was left completely stunned.

Raeleigh was equally surprised and stood there, dazed.

"Go ahead, since he gave you the green light." Santiago smiled evilly. Raeleigh came to her senses and interjected, "Since you're Santiago's friend, that means that you're our friend. It's nice to meet you."

"Likewise," Cynthia responded extremely politely. However, she just could not bring herself to consider Jepherson and Raeleigh as her brother and sister-in-law.

Santiago then turned around and headed for the deck of the yacht. It was only then did Raeleigh realize that he had a tiger tattooed on his back.

The tiger tattoo took Raeleigh's breath away. It was a majestic tiger indeed.

Santiago led Cynthia onto the deck, mentioning something about starting up the yacht. Raeleigh watched them leave. After they were out of earshot, she asked Jepherson, "Did you know about that?"

"About what?" Jepherson queried back. Raeleigh hesitated for a moment, observing his expression. "Did you know that Santiago and Cynthia became friends?"

"I don't really know much, but he's already eighteen. I'm sure he's capable of making his own decisions. When I was eighteen, I already started working at the Richards Group. I had to make a lot of decisions on my own," Jepherson answered as he walked forward, ready to change his attire.

Raeleigh trailed behind Jepherson and piped up, "Sometimes, I don't even get the feeling that you're brothers. The two of you have very different personalities."

"Ever since Santiago and I were young, we were taught to be independent. If we make any mistake in doing so, then we would have to take responsibility for our actions. That's all there is to it."

Jepherson went to his and Raeleigh's room. He put down the backpack that he brought and took out the clothes inside. He, too, had brought a pair of floral shorts, perfect for the beach. However, he opted not to go shirtless like Santiago and donned a plain white T- shirt that he had brought. He handed Raeleigh a pair of blue shorts and a similar shirt as his.

Once they were both changed, Jepherson led Raeleigh out of the room. He helped Raeleigh tie up her hair. Together, they went onto the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.

As Jepherson and Raeleigh arrived at the deck, he asked her, "Is it cold?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "Nope."

With the breeze gently sweeping across her, Raeleigh leaned against the railing of the yacht, watching the rippling of the waves rise and fall. She wondered how Jepherson would react if she left.

But she did not dare to continue down that line of thought. There were some things that she could not allow to cross her mind. The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she would be to leave.

She could not think about all that. She should spend all her time with him while she still could.

Raeleigh smiled and out of nowhere, kissed Jepherson on the cheek. Jepherson had been looking at the sea. Her kiss caught him off guard. It was rare for Raeleigh to make the first move.

Why did she do that?

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh, with his back to the sea, and enveloped her carefully into a hug. With one hand on the railing, he wrapped his other arm around Raeleigh's waist.

"What are you so happy about? You're so bold that you made the first move to kiss me. Were you thinking about doing more than that?" Jepherson deliberately teased her, he had a bright smile on his face. Raeleigh blushed intensely at his words. She turned to look around them. When she made sure that Scarlette and Hadrian were nowhere to be seen, the redness faded from her face.

"Am I not allowed to kiss you?" Raeleigh demanded. Jepherson laughed. "Of course you can. In the future, do this sort of thing more often, okay?"

Raeleigh was amused by Jepherson's words. What sort of thing was he referring to?

A moment lapsed. Deep in her thoughts, Raeleigh allowed herself to sink into Jepherson's embrace, and said, "The sea breeze is amazing, it makes me want to hold you and follow you to the ends of the world."

The urge to cry overwhelmed Raeleigh, but she held back her tears.

Jepherson raised his hand and patted Raeleigh gently. She mustered a faint smile. Although he did not know why, he knew that Raeleigh had been depressed and was doing her best to cover it up. She did not want to tell him about it.

"I'm willing to take you to the ends of the world, if that's what you want. Nothing can get in between us." Jepherson hugged Raeleigh and kissed her on the cheek.

Raeleigh nodded and smiled after she pulled away for him. Nevertheless, she felt a bitterness at that moment. If only she knew how harsh and hurtful it was.

"How long will it take us to reach the spot where we can catch mackerel?" Raeleigh asked Jepherson. A thought suddenly occurred to Jepherson. He started, "Raeleigh..."

"Yes?" Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. He looked as if he had something important to ask. But Jepherson's next words were, "Do you really know what a mackerel is?"
