Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1218

Raeleigh surveyed the room before asking, "Do I have to stay the night?"

"I'll stay here with you." Jepherson took off his coat and put it away before making his way into the bathroom. Raeleigh stood there, dumbfounded. Jepherson began stripping out of his clothes even before closing the door. After Jepherson emerged from the bathroom, he quickly changed into his pajamas. He then lifted the quilt and got into bed. Raeleigh, who was sitting on the couch, asked, "What are you doing?"

"Catching some rest." Jepherson wanted nothing more than to sleep.

After a while, Raeleigh said, "I want to go home."

"Raeleigh... I don't want you to leave."

"We're-"

"Just two people together."

Jepherson did not want to hear anything else from Raeleigh. All he longed for was just to be with her. He could not watch her be with other men; it made him feel terribly insecure.

A few moments later, Raeleigh sprung to her feet, saying, "No, I can't be with you."

She spun around, ready to leave. However, as soon as she opened the door, she came face-to-face with Stuart who greeted her politely. It was then she knew she would not be able to leave that night. So, she turned around and went back into the room.

She found Jepherson already lying in the bed, observing her as he waited for her.

Raeleigh stood motionless for a moment before walking towards the couch.

Stuart closed the door and locked it from the outside.

Raeleigh then took out her phone and called Xanthus to inform him that she would not be coming home.

After hanging up, she decided to catch up on some news. This was the only thing she could do since leaving was not an option.

However, Jepherson soon got up from the bed and stopped in front of Raeleigh. He bent down and pulled her into his arms before leading her towards the bed.

Raeleigh writhed as she was enveloped in his arms. However, he was much stronger than she was. She was a woman, after all.

When they got to the bed, Jepherson tucked her in and said with a serious face, "Stop struggling or I

won't be able to control myself."

Raeleigh immediately stopped moving.

Jepherson looked at her face and frowned. "Attagirl."

Raeleigh had never seen his expression do a turnaround that quickly before. The coldness in his face was immediately replaced with tenderness.

After kissing Raeleigh on her forehead, Jepherson flipped onto his side and laid down beside her. He held her hand and closed his eyes.

Raeleigh felt all the old memories resurfacing, sending shivers of discomfort down her spine.

"I watched my mother fall from the cliff, and at that moment, I felt the earth beneath my feet shift. At the time, I hoped that I could have been with her when she fell, but I wasn't. I was taken away."

"I had been very excited that I was going to have a baby sister. However, when we finally reunited with my mother, I realized that her stomach was flat."

"My sister was gone."

Jepherson kept holding on to Raeleigh's hand as he fell into slumber, his muttering trailing off. Raeleigh did not sleep until the wee hours of the morning. She stayed up and watched him sleep.

However, when Raeleigh was finally claimed by sleep, Jepherson woke up again and pulled her into his arms before resuming his slumber.
