Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1197

Raeleigh got out of the taxi and saw Xanthus walking out of the house just as she was about to enter the house. He was staring at the watch anxiously. She knew he was extremely worried.

Xanthus was very busy that day. If he was free, then he would have gone to the hospital to pick her up.

"What took you so long to come home?" Xanthus asked Raeleigh as he took a quick look at his watch. Raeleigh decided against telling him that she had been held up by Jepherson all day. She told him that she bumped into him, and that was why she came back late.

Xanthus looked at Raeleigh for a moment and made sure she was fine before they entered the house together. It was time for dinner.

When Raeleigh saw the dishes on the table, she said, feeling slightly embarrassed, "Ever since we met you, you've been helping me take care of Grandma. You are turning into my housekeeper."

"I will try my best. This is the only way I can repay my gratitude towards Grandma. If it weren't for her, then I probably would have never found you. Besides, isn't it my responsibility as a brother to

look after my sister?"

Raeleigh froze for a moment. He had no obligation to do anything for her, even if he was her brother.

"I will take care of you in the future," Raeleigh said after a long time. Xanthus could not help but to smile. He reached out and touched Raeleigh's head. "I'll hold onto your words. If I grow old alone, then you will have to take care of me. Perhaps, you can tell your children to take good care of me, alright?"

Raeleigh pursed her lips. What else could she say?

Since she had nothing else to say, she stopped talking and entered the house to greet her grandmother.

Meanwhile, Novalie was wondering the whereabouts of Raeleigh. She finally came back.

Novalie took a look at Raeleigh and said, "You're back! Let's have dinner then. I'm old and starving."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to come back this late."

"You don't have to apologize. You make it sound like I'm an outsider. If you are going to come back late in the future, then you should let us know ahead of time. I don't mind waiting, but it's not good to let others worry about you."

Raeleigh instantly understood who her grandmother was referring to. She turned around and glanced at Xanthus as she felt a little guilty. Xanthus immediately went into the kitchen and said. "Do not ever do this again, alright? Just call us so that I don't have to worry about you."

"Alright." Raeleigh promised. After dinner, she helped Novalie back to her room to rest. It had been a long time since she came home after spending so much time in the hospital. She felt guilty.

As soon as Novalie sat down, she started praising Xanthus. Raeleigh sat aside in silence.

"Raeleigh, when I die, you should go abroad with him and never come back," Novalie said in the end. She had made up her mind. She wanted the best for her granddaughter. Since this environment was no longer suitable for Raeleigh, she should move abroad to start a new life. A change could be good for her and it was probably better for her career development.

Raeleigh hugged Novalie abruptly and said, "No, don't leave me. I will never leave you either. Even if I have to leave, I will take you with me. We will never be apart."

Novalie smiled. She was happy to hear what she had said. She held Raeleigh's hands and replied, "Don't be silly. People will die eventually. My days are numbered. Do you think I'm immortal?"

Raeleigh hugged her grandmother without answering. They sat there for a long time until Novalie asked to call it a night. Raeleigh was feeling much better by the time she went to bed.
