Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1339

Raeleigh was unwilling to enter the house at first. However, she stopped protesting after going in. She thought she was already inside the house anyway, and she did not need to show her weakness.

She bowed her head, thinking that if Marissa were to go against her, then she would either fight back adamantly or turn away and leave.

However, it was easier said than done.

Jepherson dragged Raeleigh into Ink Garden, but when they entered the place, Marissa was nowhere to be seen. Raeleigh calmed down and wondered if Marissa had gone on a trip.

"Your Grandma..."

"Our Grandma." Jepherson's face fell. However, Raeleigh chuckled as if she had encountered a joke. "So, Mrs. Richards isn't home?"

She refused to call Marissa 'Grandma'. She would not address her as such, no matter what.

Jepherson's eyes lit up in amusement. "I used to get angry with Grandma when I was a child, but then Mom always told me that no matter how angry I was, she was always my Grandma."

Raeleigh ignored him and looked around the house instead.

Still, no one was around. Jepherson walked towards Marissa's room and knocked on the door. Shortly after, a servant came out. When she saw Jepherson, she immediately greeted him politely.

"Where is Grandma?"

"She still hasn't eaten. She's lying in the room." The servant was at a loss for words. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called Jepherson to come here.

Jepherson waved his hand dismissively and instructed, "Alright. You may leave."

After that, he went inside the room. Raeleigh stood outside the door without any intention of following him inside. Surprisingly, he didn't ask her to go in either.

"Are you feeling better?" Jepherson entered the room and walked over to Marissa. She seemed dispirited. She was sick, and she had refused to eat or drink. Instead, she only relied on holistic medicine and nutrient injections to sustain her life.

Actually, she was not suffering from any serious illnesses. It was just that her physical strength had grown weak because she refused to eat, so it created the impression that she was beyond recovery.

However, she never explicitly told the members of the Richards family that she was beyond recovery. Instead, she had her own plans. She let the Richards family's servant send out the message about her hunger strike. That way, she would save her dignity, and her family members would come back home.

Indeed, Marissa was throwing a huge tantrum.

She used to throw tantrums when she was younger, and they always worked like a charm. She thought that they would still work, but then, even her son refused to come back.

Not to mention Santiago. Also, she might never see Trevor again.

Ever since she came to Capital City, she had never received a phone call from Trevor, let alone meeting him.

She really needed someone to comfort her then, and she wished nothing more than to see Trevor. After all, they had been married for decades. But until then, he kept disappointing her. She could not even understand why he did this to her.

Perhaps, it was because they had grown old, and time had washed away whatever feeling they once had for each other.

Marissa knew that she should not wish for impossible things. However, she would not let go of other matters. She believed that she ended up like this because of Raeleigh, and she swore to seek revenge and never let her go.

However, she didn't expect that her usually obedient daughter-in-law would not come either.

She lay on the bed, unmoving. She heard Jepherson coming in and knew he was talking to her. However, she ignored him.
