Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1213

"You do realize that he could've misconstrued your actions, right?" Xanthus continued as Raeleigh remained uncommunicative.

Xanthus also knew that Raeleigh had been through a rough time recently and that she refused to let any advice sink in.

There was no point in trying to talk her out of it.

Raeleigh stepped out of the car as soon as Xanthus pulled into a parking lot. Xanthus knew that everything was feasible as long as Jepherson was not mentioned in the process.

Their arrival at the campus saw them branching off into their separate ways. Xanthus reminded her to be careful.

Lowering her head, Raeleigh bore her gaze through the notebook in her hand. Then, she made her way to the lecture hall and knocked before entering. As soon as the lecturer gave her permission, she strolled in as naturally as possible.

Her body almost seized up the moment she set foot in the hall. Was that Jepherson Richards?

At that moment, Jepherson was sporting a pair of black pants and a white shirt. He had his hands pressed against the table as he stood on the platform. Raeleigh could not believe her eyes: How in God's name had he materialized where he should not have?

However, it was too late now. They exchanged glances, engrossed in their own thoughts.

Jepherson spoke first, "Oh, you're late. Make sure you come earlier next time."

Raeleigh pursed her lips. If her memory served her correctly, she and Xanthus had left the house before him. There hadn't been a traffic jam along the way, nor had they made any detour. But voila! Here he was, winning the race.

Raeleigh remained reticent. Jepherson swept his eyes across the room and said, "There is an empty seat in front of Santiago Richards. Do claim it for yourself."

Raeleigh seemed to be immersed in an entirely different world from him as she remained despondent.

Jepherson watched as she trudged to the seat in a daze, asking, "Why, Miss Anson, are you okay?"

The last time she had daydreamed in class, he had punished her by making her stand outside of the class. She wondered if history would repeat itself this time.

In her defense, Jepherson could not punish her anymore.

Raeleigh suddenly came to her senses and was startled to see Jepherson. She stepped back and almost hit the table. Jepherson reacted quickly and grabbed her tightly, holding her in his arms.

Raeleigh raised her hands to push him away. She started to blush, her breathing ragged.

Jepherson immediately let go of Raeleigh when she pushed him away.

He stared deeply into her eyes, but his tone was soft as he spoke.

"Be careful now. You may return to your seat," After saying that, Jepherson went back to the podium. Raeleigh turned around and headed for her seat, her mind rattling as she tried to calm her senses down. Just when she finally felt a little calmer, Jepherson was halfway through his lecture.

Jepherson picked up a chalk and began writing on the blackboard. Raeleigh stared as he rolled up his sleeves and scribbled non-stop, nothing from the lesson registering in her mind.

Soon, the class was over. Raeleigh packed up her things and was about to leave the class. However, Jepherson stopped her. He said, "Raeleigh, follow me to my office. I doubt you listened to a single word I said during the entire lecture. I figure I should explain it to you."

After saying that, Jepherson turned around and left. Raeleigh was reluctant to follow him, but in the end she braced up and did as she was told.

She soon found herself standing outside of Jepherson's office, not wanting to enter. She mustered up an excuse, "I have something else waiting for me..."

"Are you afraid of me?" Jepherson walked towards Raeleigh. She was subsequently pushed against the wall.

"No, not at all. Honestly, I have something to do."
