Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1282

Deanna sat down and fell deep into thought. Raeleigh had prepared some food, but she refused to eat anything, saying she wasn't hungry. Although she wanted to have a taste of the delicious food served, she just couldn't stomach anything.

Deanna just sat there without eating anything. Raeleigh turned her gaze to look at Santiago. He sat with his legs crossed and handed her an apple. "Are you going on a hunger strike against me as well?"

Deanna pushed the apple away. In the past, she would not have spared Santiago a burning remark. She would have argued back but she was oddly quiet that day.

Deanna leaned on the sofa, her gaze void and empty. It was as though she was thinking about something sad and couldn't summon any energy to do anything else.

"Take her upstairs to get some rest. She must be tired," Santiago said as he looked at Raeleigh, who then brought her upstairs.

When they left, Xanthus inched closer and said, "She looks sick."

Santiago took a sip of his soup and nodded without looking at him.

Raeleigh led Deanna into her room. Deanna told her that she felt sleepy and wanted to get some rest. She was not in the mood to talk about anything, so Raeleigh left right after she went to sleep.

As soon as she went back downstairs, she saw that Jacky had already taken off his shoes and jacket.

Jacky was wearing a black wool shirt and a pair of black jeans. He had a charming presence and a handsome face to match. At first glance, he was stunningly good-looking. However, Raeleigh wasn't the type of person to be impressed easily. She made no show of reaction as she came downstairs.

Jacky, on the other hand, had a huge reaction the moment he came in. He immediately questioned Santiago about Deanna's whereabouts when he saw no signs of her.

"She's upstairs, in the room on the left."

Santiago continued to sip on his soup as Jacky went up the stairs. When he walked past Raeleigh, he pretended to ignore her.

Raeleigh turned around and saw that the door that led to Deanna was opened and Jacky had walked

into the room.

Jacky was stunned for a moment when he entered the room. Deanna was on the bed, and without even opening her eyes, she said, "Raeleigh, I feel really crappy right now. The only thing I want to do now is sleep. I haven't had a peaceful sleep in a long while. Is that too much to ask for?"

Deanna had a pleasant voice as soft as a child's. Jacky took a deep breath, closed the door, and walked towards the bed. He placed his hands on his waist and lowered his gaze to look at Deanna, who was lying on the bed. Her face was so pale that she barely looked alive.

He felt as if there was a knife in his heart, and it even hurt to breathe.

He slowly sat down beside her and the bed sunk from his weight. Deanna pouted angrily. "Santiago, let me have some peace and quiet. I'm exhausted."

Deanna pleaded but the person beside her refused to budge. She turned around with the intention to tell Santiago off, but she was greeted by someone else instead.

"J a..."

Tears welled up in her eyes the moment she saw that it was Jackson. Soon after, she burst into

tears. She sat up and wrapped her arms around his waist. She didn't hold back at all as she hugged him firmly.

Jacky was caught off guard by her sudden embrace, having the air in his lungs almost squeezed right out of him. He felt as though the entire world had returned to his arms. Everything was suddenly alright again.

He raised his hands and placed it on the back of her head gently as he hugged her, "There, there. Don't cry."

But Deanne just couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Raeleigh was seated on the sofa. It was a bright and beautiful afternoon but she just couldn't shake the feeling of an impending doom from her chest.

Raeleigh picked up the remote control and tried to watch some TV. When she turned the TV on, a news report about the Moore family came on. The news reported that the Richards siblings was the party responsible for Flynt's incident.

"Are you worried?" Santiago tossed an apple at Raeleigh. She nearly dropped it but managed to catch it right before it did.
