Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1132

Novalie looked at the large bag of fruits in front of her, and then at the person sitting quietly across from her. She seemed to have thought of something.

"Dr. Osteen, is there anything that brings you joy recently?"

Novalie was smart. That was a reminder.

"There's indeed a joyful affair." Xanthus was quickwitted to know what she was talking about. He answered her while giving her a quick checkup.

Novalie hummed a reply. Then, she looked at Xanthus and asked, "I don't know what it is, but do you mind sharing it with me?"

"Of course. You see, my younger sister went missing a few years back. This younger sister is my parents' favorite child. When my mother was pregnant, she was taken great care of, so you can see how much importance they place on my sister. I was also moved and couldn't wait to see her when I was young."

"But an accident took my sister away. I've been trying to find her ever since. After so many years, I finally found her. Isn't it something to be glad about?"

Novalie was smart enough to understand the underlying meaning behind his words. Xanthus was hinting at Raeleigh, she thought.

Novalie cast a glance at Raeleigh, who lowered her head. Since Xanthus had not left yet, it was hard for her to explain.

"If that's the case, then it's indeed a joyous affair. We should celebrate." Novalie smiled. Xanthus glanced at Raeleigh and replied, "But my younger sister has been sensible and well-behaved since she was young. She's also cautious. She still doesn't trust me although I have a blood sample comparison with her DNA, and it proves that we're highly matched, which meets the standard that indicates that we're biological siblings of the same parents."

Novalie answered with a knowing expression, "Then, your sister is indeed a fool."

Raeleigh raised her gaze and glanced at Novalie. "Let me wash some fruits."

Raeleigh walked over and took out some apples and grapes. Then, she immediately left the room.

"Slow down and be careful. You're a mother-to-be, yet you're still walking in a flurry. No one is chasing after you."

Raeleigh closed the door and left in a hurry.

Xanthus’ expression grew more worried and he frowned as he stared at the door.

Novalie noticed all of that and was quite satisfied.

Xanthus looked at Novalie for a while. Then, he continued to check on her and talked to her.

Novalie said, "Raeleigh is fantastic in every aspect, but she experienced too many things when she was a child, so she can't let it go."

"In fact, there's nothing wrong with Raeleigh. Although I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw Raeleigh, I don't like her overly calm aura and that she matured too soon. She should live a life that suits her age."

Xanthus retrieved the stethoscope and looked at Novalie.

Novalie glanced at the door. "What do you mean?"

"It's not a complaint but it's the guilt talking. I've met Deanna from the Whalen family. With all due respect, our family is comparable to Rayan's, and we're better off than them. Although I'm a doctor, my family is prestigious and admirable."

"If Raeleigh had not been kidnapped, then she would still be a child and would not have matured so soon. I could also take care of her and watch her grow like how Zorion witnessed Deanna's growth. Of course... I won't let Raeleigh turn out to be like Deanna, who's not independent and doesn't even know how to tell right from wrong."

"However, I will not let Raeleigh carry such a burden."

"I always feel that the world in her heart is burdensome, and that kind of heaviness suffocates her."
