Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1293

"Master Jepherson!"

Seeing Jepherson head up the stairs, Scarlette called out to him.

Jepherson stopped and turned around to look at her. Her lips trembled as she wondered if it would be best to say what was on her mind.

"Although I'm quite the gruff person, I can feel that Raeleigh is really bothered about Stella. No matter what the reason may be, you have already accepted Madam Marissa's orders to marry Stella. I don't know what this means for Raeleigh, but if Hadrian ever told me that he loved me yet promised to marry another woman for whatever reason it may be, and even if it was for me, then I will never forgive him."

After saying that, she spun around and left. She went back to her room, afraid that she would get yelled at by Jepherson.

After she closed the door, Scarlette panted in her room. Hadrian was reading a book about maternity care. He was surprised to see Scarlette so rattled. Seeing how scared she was, he put the book down, stood up, and quickly walked over to her to hold her.

"Master Jepherson is here! He is here!" She was so frightened that her entire body trembled. Hadrian held on to her and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It'll be fine." He believed that Jepherson wasn't the kind of person who would hurt them.

Raeleigh slept soundly. Santiago and Xanthus were in the room, watching over her. Jepherson pushed the door open, with his eyes settled on the bed.

Raeleigh had been given an injection and was fast asleep. However, Santiago and Xanthus were on either side of the bed. Jepherson glanced at them. His face had an obnoxious expression.

Santiago stood up, his hands in his pockets. As he walked, he raised his head. He was then as tall as Jepherson.

"What are you doing here?"

Jepherson took a deep breath and turned around to leave. Santiago looked behind him and followed him outside. The brothers stood on the steps of the stairs. Jepherson still had a mild temper. "What's wrong with her?"

Santiago leaned against the railing. "She has a fever."

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh's room and went downstairs to sit on the couch.

Santiago thought his actions were comical. "What are you doing? Trying to terrorize me?"

Jepherson leaned back on the couch, with a deathly hush descending upon him.

Santiago walked around and sat down opposite him. Neither of them initiated to break the silence.

Hadrian stepped out of the room, saw them, then turned around and went back inside. Scarlette, in the speed of light, joined him at the door. Since nothing had happened, she thought that Jepherson had already left. But when she stole a glimpse from the door, she recoiled, as if she had seen two live lions perched on the couch in the living room. It was terrifying.

Scarlette returned to the room and scurried over to the bed. She covered herself with the quilt, balking at the idea of leaving the room. It was too dangerous.

Hadrian turned around and looked at her. He gave her another vitamin for pregnant women.

She opened her mouth, popped the tablet, and went back to sleep.

Raeleigh opened her eyes. She was wide awake then. When Jepherson arrived, she had woken up. But she neither moved nor made a sound. Then what?

Raeleigh had her line of sight focused at the door. Xanthus raised his hand and placed it on her forehead. It wasn't hot anymore.

Raeleigh looked at Xanthus. "Was I wrong to have come home?"

Dumbfounded, Xanthus looked at Raeleigh. He knew her well and it wouldn't be easy for her to keep herself from coming home.

"I should have listened to you from the beginning. I should have solved this with a lawsuit and stood in opposition to them. At the very least, I could have kept my dignity. It would have been much better than now. But I was too naive. I thought I loved him, and if we couldn't be a couple, then we could be friends. I thought I could let time blunt whatever love we had between us, and bring us back to square one."

"What I hadn't expected is for this hopeless love to have ended up with so many complications."

"Let's go home, shall we. I'm missing Grandma."

Raeleigh said as a single tear rolled down her cheek. Xanthus thumbed her tears away and smiled. "It is too late to leave now. They are not the type of people to give up easily. Don't be so hard on yourself. Take it easy. Things will get better."
