Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1160

Raeleigh didn't get much rest throughout the night. She only fell asleep in the morning. Jepherson got up early to fetch some water outside, wash the towel, and ask someone to send Raeleigh's clothes there. It seemed that nothing had happened, but Raeleigh knew that it would never be the same again.

Jepherson had been bottling up something, and he refused to spill it out, come what may.

When Raeleigh woke up after eight o'clock, she went to wash up. By the time she returned, Jepherson had arranged the dishes for breakfast. It wasn't until she sat down that she remembered Stuart, whom she hadn't seen in the past two days.

"Where is Stuart?"

Sitting opposite him, she asked. Jepherson, who was wearing a white shirt and clutching some cutlery and bowls, handed them to Raeleigh. "I'm concerned about Santiago, so I asked Stuart to go with him."

Raeleigh shot a look at him in perplexity. He had sent all the people around them away. What in the world was he going to do?

After breakfast, Jepherson went to the doctor and inquired about Raeleigh's state. Her condition was very stable and she was allowed to be discharged from the hospital.

"The doctor said that you can be discharged from the hospital. Shall we leave now?" asked Jepherson. Raeleigh thought momentarily. "Then, let's go. Do you have a lot of stuff to work on? If you are busy, then you can send me back..."

"I'm going to the company. If you want to go, then you can come along."

"Then, I want to go to the company."

They talked and left the hospital together. Xanthus couldn't rest easy, so he followed them. After coming out of the hospital, they got into the car while Xanthus stalked them from behind. Sitting in the car, Raeleigh didn't feel anything wrong. However, the chauffeur didn't take the usual route. Later, Raeleigh also found that someone was tailing them.

Somewhere along the way, Raeleigh realized that Xanthus had been left behind.

Raeleigh stole a glance at Jepherson, who was holding her hand, and explained, "Xanthus and I are friends. I think he is a decent man. He told me that I look like his sister, which is why he took me as one."

Jepherson held Raeleigh's hand. "Xanthus did have a younger sister. But, according to my investigation, she is dead."

Raeleigh was dumbfounded for a second before she raised her head to gaze at Jepherson. "You've investigated it?"

"I won't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Raeleigh... don't trust others easily, especially male strangers." Jepherson held Raeleigh's hand even tighter. Raeleigh didn't know what to say, so she kept silent.

When the car arrived at the destination, Raeleigh took out her phone and sent a text message to Xanthus. Jepherson walked in front of her and confiscated her phone. He did not look at Raeleigh's text message, but he displayed his domineering demeanor, which was enough to intimidate Raeleigh.

"I just don't want him to worry about me."

"What's there for him to worry about when you're with me? You're my girlfriend, what's there for him to worry about?"

Raeleigh remained silent for her own sake.

With that, her phone was placed in Jepherson's pocket. With his overbearing attitude, she had no choice but to obey him.

After entering through the door, she followed him and signed her registration at the reception. Jepherson stayed on the ground floor for a few minutes before he walked towards the elevator with her. Once they entered the elevator, he pulled her hand over to him. She stared confusedly at him and couldn't figure out what he was doing.

Back in the day, in the presence of outsiders, he always wanted to hold and hug Raeleigh in his arms, as if he wanted to announce to the whole world and let everyone know that Raeleigh was his, to keep every other man away from her.

However, at that moment, when they entered the company offices, he walked in front of her, intentionally keeping a distance from her. His hands did not come into contact with hers either. When they got into the elevator, however, he could not wait to hold her hands.

Stepping out of the elevator, they headed for his office. He took off his blazer and gestured for her to sit. After that, he turned back to his chair while Raeleigh sat down on the couch for a while. She watched Jepherson operate the computer and start to get busy.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Raeleigh stood up and tried to lend him a hand. He moved the mouse. "No, I'm good. You didn't sleep well. Take a rest. I will accompany you when I'm done with my work."

"Then, I'll go and see Mr. Lamarre." Raeleigh stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and went out.

Jepherson took a look at the door and reopened the browser tabs. He began to stare blankly at the news regarding the many painless methods of terminating a pregnancy.

Consequently, his expression gradually grew more gloomier.

After browsing for some time, he slumped into his chair. He raised his head and closed his eyes. Then, he loosened the collar of his shirt and breathed hard.

Raeleigh visited Lamarre. Although she was reprimanded by him, she was still very cheerful.

Raeleigh stayed by Lamarre's side for the entire morning. Jepherson called her and asked when she would like to have lunch. Raeleigh told him that she would not go back in the afternoon because she wanted to keep Lamarre company during lunch.

"Then, I'll book a place and pick you up later."

"Alright."

Raeleigh agreed and stayed at Lamarre's place the whole time. At noon, Jepherson still hadn't come over. Thus, she got up and went to find him.

"I'll go and check, and I'll pick you up later." Lamarre was also busy when Raeleigh left. He waved his hand, signalling her to go first while he didn't follow her.
