Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1291

"I'm not kidding. I swear on my life, I really like you. I like you more than anything else."

"Impossible... This can't be. You're much too young, you don't understand this at all..."

Raeleigh was shaking her head when Santiago kissed her face. She flinched, turning utterly unresponsive.

Santiago lowered his eyes slightly and smiled. He then spun around and walked away. The entire time, he had his hands in his pockets. With an exaggerated swagger he shuffled away, as though he were a god sashaying among the grass.

Raeleigh slowly turned around and looked at Santiago, gasping, "Are you out of your mind?"

Stopping short, Santiago swung around, observing her. She had taken a step back as though she had been hurt. However, she found it strange as she wasn't afraid of Santiago. What could account for her sudden backing off?

With pouted lips, Raeleigh looked at Santiago, her face impassive. She felt like she was cocooned in bleakness. Yet, the corners of Santiago's mouth twitched upwards, his smile as brilliant as the sun.

"Raeleigh, my dearest."

The corners of Santiago's lips tugged into a smile. He sounded exceptionally sweet when he called her by her name. Raeleigh, on the other hand, kept a straight face. He backtracked and stopped in front of her.

"Are you scared?" Santiago asked, to which she shook her head. Santiago responded by lowering his head and kissing her on the cheek.

Raeleigh was about to step back once more when he grabbed her arm and whispered into her ear, "The more you resist, the more you appear attractive to me. Do you know that?"

Raeleigh stayed eerily silent and still while Santiago slowly distanced himself. He fixed his eyes on her, whose expression could not look any uglier.

Santiago laughed and released his hand. He turned around and went into the kitchen. After doing so, he began to cook.

When Raeleigh walked into the kitchen, Santiago had already started boiling a pot of water.

He stood by the stove and watched the noodles cook. Raeleigh didn't think that Santiago was any good at cooking, so she had a hunch that he was probably going to ruin the kitchen.

Shortly after, she walked in and took out the noodles. She was going to prepare them for Santiago. He leaned to one side and watched her.

They didn't say anything. A while later, Santiago said, "If you leave my brother, don't just rush off somewhere. Come to me, I'll love you for the rest of my life."

Raeleigh's hand froze. She raised her head and turned to look at Santiago, asking, "Do you even know what you're doing?"

"I do" Santiago's smile was as handsome as ever and pleasing to the eyes. Raeleigh's heart and body were pushed over the edge of sanity.

"Don't do that. Do not laugh."

Santiago raised both hands to cup her face. Raeleigh's hands were full with the noodles and she wanted to put them down, but Santiago pinched her cheeks, "I promise, I won't do anything to you until you've completely forgotten my brother. But... you shouldn't piss me off either. I have a volatile temper and poor self-control. If you get on my nerves, I wouldn't know what I'd do to you. So... you should give me - give us - some time."

Raeleigh widened her eyes in disbelief, "Are you crazy? I'm your brother's -"

Raeleigh suddenly clammed up, after which Santiago laughed, "Perhaps, you used to be.

But now the both of you are over."

Raeleigh pursed her lips. She couldn't refute him, but he was wrong.

Raeleigh shut her eyes and tried to keep her wits sane. When she did, she said, "Get your hands off me."

As soon as he heard her say that, he let go of her. Furious, she turned around and placed the noodles into a pot. Then, she took a pair of tongs and mixed them in the water. Santiago watched for a while before stepping forward and held her from behind. Raeleigh shivered and used her hand to push him away.
