Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1101

When Hadrian realized that Scarlette's legs had given out, he bent down and gathered her in his arms. He carried her into the cabin and placed her down before leaving.

Following that, Raeleigh went into the cabin to check on Scarlette. The moment she entered, she heard Scarlette cursing Hadrian. She sounded furious. Raeleigh stood at the door helplessly as she watched Scarlette.

Some people just did not know how lucky they were! How wonderful it was to be able to be with someone they loved. Scarlette just did not know how to appreciate it.

"Raeleigh, what are you doing here? Weren't you out on the deck with Jepherson?" Scarlette immediately asked when she saw Raeleigh. Her anger slowly dissipated as she walked towards Raeleigh.

"I came to check on you. If you're fine, then I'll go back to him. You don't look too good, so I think you should get some rest," Raeleigh said and turned to leave. Scarlette trailed along behind her, asking Raeleigh as she walked, "Raeleigh, you've been acting very strange lately. Much stranger than Mr. Santiago, you know?"

Raeleigh evaded the purpose of the question and asked instead, "What's up with Santiago?"

"He said he's planning to get engaged to Cynthia. He claims that they will be wedded in the future. I can't accept this, at all. Do you get me?" Scarlette was fuming.

Raeleigh stopped in her tracks when she heard what Scarlette had to say. She turned around to meet Scarlette's gaze and continued, "Wait, are you saying that Santiago wants to get together with Cynthia?"

"He doesn't just want to! They're already a couple. He wants to get engaged to her. Do you understand?" Scarlette remained puzzled even after she had given the matter a lot of thought. Why did it turn out that way? Why did Santiago want to marry Cynthia? Was it out of love?

Although Cynthia turned out to be a real beauty after Santiago gave her a total makeover, and had a pleasant personality, that could not be the sole reason.

Scarlette thought of Santiago as truly wicked. He just had to go after someone whom he absolutely shouldn't have.

"I had no idea about that, but Santiago is old enough to decide what he wants. Why are you so worried?" Raeleigh eyed Scarlette. It struck her suddenly that she would not be able to see Scarlette anymore in the future. Raeleigh thought to herself that she would never be able to find a best friend like her again.

"Let's go," Raeleigh said as she went outside. Scarlette kept on grumbling to Raeleigh as they walked.

Raeleigh listened on till her eardrums were about to burst.

When they arrived on the deck, Raeleigh saw Jepherson leaning against the railing and walked over to him. Knowing that she did not have much time left with him, she wanted to spend every possible minute with him. She hoped that it would allow him to understand her better. Moreover, she wanted them to spend as much time as possible together as a family. Just him, her, and their child.

"How could you do this to me? I'm not done yet," Scarlette complained. She was dissatisfied as Raeleigh had walked over to Jepherson and pretended not to hear her.

Jepherson hugged Raeleigh and gave her a kiss. "You're back?"

"Yes, have you been waiting for me all this while?" Raeleigh responded.

"Of course, who else would I be waiting for?" Jepherson teased. Raeleigh had nothing to say to that. She could only lean into his arms.

After ensuring that Scarlette was out of earshot, Raeleigh told Jepherson what they had talked about. She asked him whether he knew that Santiago was planning to get engaged to Cynthia.

Jepherson's first reaction was silence. Raeleigh observed his calm, neutral, and handsome features framed by the sea breeze. Raeleigh did not know what to say, but she knew that Jepherson did not care about fame and fortune. Although he was still young, he had already regarded money as a mere worldly possession. As for why he needed to do what he did to climb to power, maybe it was just so he could make a spot for himself in the world to rest.
