Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1214

Raeleigh was rankled, but she was not angry. The way Jepherson had been acting was the same as she did previously. She really did not know how she could have been so stupid then.

And she felt a little distressed because of this.

However, there was nothing she could do about it. The baby was gone, and the snow globe that used to hold their mutual dreams had shattered. There was no way she could make peace with this.

After leaving Jepherson's office, Raeleigh did not know where to go, so she simply went to find Xanthus.

When Xanthus saw Raeleigh, he froze for a moment. He roughly knew what had happened. Raeleigh went inside and found a place to sit, saying, "I want to stay here for a while."

Xanthus poured a glass of water for Raeleigh. He sat beside her and asked, "He's here, isn't he?"

"He's been insisting that I am his sister. He's been digging up old memories, trying to reopen my old wounds. I can understand his feelings, but it is precisely because of this that whenever I see him, I feel like I am seeing myself in him. How am I to live with this truth?"

"If you can't accept it, then don't accept it. It's okay," Xanthus held Raeleigh's hand, feeling guilty. He should have told her earlier. That way, they might have been able to keep the baby.

For Raeleigh, losing her child was more painful than dying.

She could have slowly forgotten about it, but Jepherson regretted it now. Desire and interweaved love was more important than the so-called noble bloodline that he once looked so highly upon. Hence, he began to involve Raeleigh instead.

If things continued on like this, Raeleigh would only get swallowed deeper into this whirlpool of hell.

Xanthus completely understood this state of limbo. On the one hand, she felt pained because of her child and was afraid to bring up anything related to that pain of hers. On the other hand, another sight of Jepherson meant another moment of misery.

If Jepherson had told her about their relationship earlier, or if he had said something sooner, she would have at least asked him to prove it to her. However, it was too late. The baby was gone and Jepherson was already blaming himself. If Jepherson was told that he and Raeleigh were not biological siblings and that he had ultimately made an irreversible mistake, he would only end up all the more devastated. Deep down, Raeleigh was worried that Jepherson would find out about it.

Xanthus held Raeleigh in his arms. He needed to come up with a solution as soon as possible. If this matter continued on, Raeleigh might not be able to take it anymore. It might be the catalyst to her downfall.

"Pull yourself together. Please. I'm sure we will find a way," Xanthus continued, "That reminds me, it's the holiday season now. Why don't we bring Grandma with us and spend some time overseas?"

Xanthus could not think of a better solution. He let go of Raeleigh and added, "Why don't we defer one semester and go abroad for a short getaway?"

Raeleigh was hesitant. Xanthus insisted, "Only for one semester. Who knows, maybe Grandma will like it abroad and ask to stay."

"You are her only hope. If you are not happy, do you think she would be happy?"

Xanthus kept on talking, but Raeleigh did not answer him.

Not long after, Raeleigh was found by Jepherson.

"Can I come in?" Jepherson's gaze was cold and fierce. He looked much like a predator hunting down his prey. Xanthus pretended to be polite, especially since he had his white coat on.
