Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1209

Raeleigh awoke the next morning to find Cynthia and Xanthus leaning against each other as they slept on the couch in the living room. The television was still turned on but it was muted. She noticed that there were a couple of empty takeaway containers on the table and suddenly remembered that she had fallen asleep while waiting for them to come home with dinner. Then, she stood up and began clearing the table.

Cynthia woke up while Raeleigh was cleaning the table, dismayed as she realised that she had spent the entire night on the couch with Xanthus.

Raeleigh then asked, "Well, I thought you guys went out to have dinner?"

"Umm..." Cynthia did not know how to explain it to Raeleigh. She anxiously held her hands and waited for Xanthus to clarify things, which even after an interminable stretch of time, he never did.

Cynthia was forced to take matters into her own hands.

She said, "We did go out to have dinner and even brought back some porridge for you. By the time we came back, you were already asleep. We didn't want the porridge to go to waste, so we decided to eat it before going to sleep. I didn't expect to just doze off on the couch with the TV on."

In fact, Raeleigh did not need to hear an explanation at all. However, when she saw how highly- strung Cynthia was, she immediately nodded her head before heading into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Xanthus did not mind that he had spent the entire night on the couch with Cynthia. He stood up and made his way into the kitchen to help Raeleigh.

Cynthia remained on the couch, feeling a little at loss.

"Hey, what's going on between the two of you?" Raeleigh immediately asked Xanthus when he entered the kitchen. She was gathering the ingredients to make breakfast. Xanthus shot back, "Well, what do you think?"

"Is it what I think it is?" Raeleigh asked. In fact, she was surprised to find out that Xanthus actually had a crush on Cynthia. It had never crossed her mind until then.

"If it is, mind sharing your thoughts?" Xanthus wanted to know what Raeleigh had in mind.

Raeleigh looked at him and grinned, "What thoughts can I have? I'm just asking." "She and Santiago are friends. I'm sure you must have your own way of thinking," Xanthus looked at Raeleigh. Raeleigh shrugged in reply, "Such issues are really hard to tell. What's more, it's not like you want anything from this budding relationship. I'm sure you will respect her decision. Also..."

"Also what?" Xanthus raised his eyebrows. Raeleigh smiled and said, "Granted, she may not like you - yet - but she can't stop you from having feelings for her."

"I appreciate that notion of yours," Xanthus smiled and continued making breakfast. Raeleigh walked over to his side and asked, "What do you like about her?"

In Raeleigh's opinion, Cynthia was not the kind of woman to attract people's attention from the get-go. However, she felt that Xanthus must have liked her from the moment they first met.

Xanthus cracked an egg into the pan, saying, "I like that she's sensible and sophisticated. But most importantly, I love her eyes."

Raeleigh looked at Xanthus and teased, "Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Xanthus turned around to ask Raeleigh, to which she shook her head and said, "Of course not!"

"Who do you think suits her better? Me or Santiago?" Since they were already on this topic,

Xanthus wanted to talk more about it.

Raeleigh did not expect him to ask her about it bluntly. She thought for a moment before answering, "You."

"Are you saying that only because I'm your brother?"
