Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1349

Raeleigh lowered her head, remembering her main purpose of coming here.

"I actually came here with a purpose today." Raeleigh lifted her head to gaze at Flynt, who then questioned, "What is it?"

"I'm here to bid farewell to you." Raeleigh thought that she should come up with a reasonable excuse for visiting him. In addition, the excuse had to be one which would move him, so that he'd let his guard down.

After all, she had come very abruptly.

Surely enough, Flynt froze for a moment when he heard Raeleigh's reply. What followed was another question. "What for? Are you going abroad?"

Raeleigh nodded. "I'm going to Everland or Europe. Xanthus wants to take me there. We won't be coming back."

Flynt was flabbergasted for a while. Then, he gave a few coughs. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Concurrently, Raeleigh stood up and sauntered around the room while saying, "I can't accept Jepherson's idea of loving me. He wants to imprison me. He even asked Santiago to keep an eye on me to prohibit me from leaving the Richards family." "I'm also subjected to prejudice by his grandmother. She had sent people to kill me many times."

"I'm as human as any of them. I can't accept this at all. To top it all off, I've already broken up with him."

Standing by Flynt's desk, Raeleigh's eyes landed on a spiral- bound notebook. There were some traces of handwriting on it, but it was not an accounting book. Judging by the handwriting, it seemed to be a collection of letters.

In that era, not many people wrote letters.

Raeleigh didn't dare to keep staring. She turned around to peer at the decorations on the wall. All of a sudden, she began staring into space, as if she wasn't taking anything in at all.

Flynt got up and walked to her side. "Do you like Xanthus?"

Raeleigh came to her senses and gazed at him. Then, she lowered her gaze and did not answer. Flynt pondered it momentarily, and he then continued, "You don't. So, why did you choose to leave with him?"

"He's able to take me away. I have a contract with Jepherson. I've negotiated with him multiple times, but he refuses to let me go. The money required for the lawsuit is exorbitant."

Raeleigh spoke in agony. Flynt took a step back and mulled over something briefly, before asking, "If I could give you that money, then are you willing to stay?"

Flynt turned around to look at her. To that, Raeleigh shook her head. "I can't offer you anything in return. Besides, I won't stay here because I don't belong here. I have to leave. Capital City is not the place for me to settle down. Everyone here has held a grudge against me. All of them want to pressure me into doing things."

"I can't stand it. I want to leave this place."

Flynt asked, "Then, how about Xanthus? Won't he pressure you too? If you take his money, in the future, then you might have to sell your..."

Flynt left it there, but his expression was clearly stormy.

Raeleigh retorted, "Xanthus is not that sort of person. At the very least, he never coerced me into doing anything before. He has been looking after me like a brother for so long. I like our dynamic."

"You're deceiving yourself. What you desire from him is familial love, not romantic love."

"I've failed in my romantic relationship. I'm not holding out much hope now." Raeleigh was rather collected, as though she had gotten over everything.

Flynt remained silent, with his eyebrows furrowed. He turned around. His hands were tightly clenched by his side as his thoughts raced non-stop.

"Raeleigh, when are you leaving?"

Raeleigh looked at Flynt’s back. "I'm not sure. Stuart has not recuperated from his injury, and Xanthus is being put under surveillance. Hence, we can't leave yet. I came here just to see you one last time. I'm leaving soon, so I was afraid that we wouldn't have a chance to meet again."

Flynt swiveled to gaze at her. "If, I mean, if I can help you, then will you stay in this country rather than go abroad? Maybe in another city, but not Capital City."

Raeleigh contemplated his suggestion. "I can't get you into trouble. It will entail a lot of money. On top of that, the Moore family's reputation concerns me too. I don't want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire."
