Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1356

By the time Raeleigh came back, the two brothers were talking, and they clammed up as she went in. She was holding some containers with food and soup respectively.

"This is the chicken soup I initially prepared for Stuart. You can have it first, and I'll tell Mom that I've accidentally spilled it."

Raeleigh thought that it would be better not to apprise Jenna of what had happened to Santiago. If she knew it, then God forbid that she may just completely lose it.

Jepherson rose to his feet. Only then did Raeleigh realize that his clothing was unusual. It was black. He must have been gearing up for some occasion.

After shrugging off his blazer, he reached for the pistol from his back, set it on the table, unbuttoned his shirt, and went to the washroom.

Raeleigh stared blankly at the pistol. Santiago said, "For someone who has killed two people, it seems pretty mind-boggling that you'd be afraid of a gun."

Raeleigh was startled, appearing numb. She had never cogitated about the two men she had killed until Santiago brought it up at the moment. In fact, she didn't regret it.

They were the dregs of humanity. Although homicide would bring her before the court, she had to do it, or else, Santiago would have been hurt. In her eyes, nothing was more important than Santiago's life.

She filled up a bowl of chicken soup. "Is the meat fine with you?"

"Say no more." Santiago had been hungry the whole time.

Raeleigh sat beside Santiago and fed him spoonful by spoonful. After Jepherson came out, he sat down and filled himself a bowl of soup. He took two sips of it before starting to enjoy his meal.

The atmosphere seemed decent to Raeleigh. She did not find anything out of the ordinary.

It wasn't until Santiago was full that Raeleigh went to have her own meal. Jepherson got up, went to lie on one side of the bed, and soon fell asleep.

Raeleigh cleaned up the things after she had finished her meal. Just as she walked to the door, Jepherson spoke to her, "Stay here tonight. You can sleep on the bed next to Santiago's. I have something to do at night. He needs someone to take care of him."

Raeleigh paused for a moment and looked back. Then, she went outside and packed up her things. She shot a glance at Seibert, who was standing by the door.

Even though Seibert basically carried out the same job as Stuart, Raeleigh couldn't bring herself to like him at all.

"Have you eaten yet?" Despite that, Raeleigh engaged him in small talk. He answered, "I haven't."

Raeleigh bowed her head and looked at the food containers, which had been emptied. She thought for a bit. "I'll tell Jepherson. Wait for me. When I come back later, you can have your meal."

Seibert said nothing. After Raeleigh returned and told him to have his meal, he did not move.

"I'll tell him. Give me a sec." After that, Raeleigh went into the ward. Raeleigh found herself in a predicament as both Santiago and Jepherson had fallen asleep.

Remembering that there was someone waiting outside, Raeleigh woke Jepherson up. "Are you asleep?"

Jepherson answered with an extremely light voice.

Raeleigh looked back at Santiago, who was sleeping soundly behind her.

"Seibert has not taken his meal. Why don't you let him have a break? I'll be here to watch you guys, and it won't be long before he comes back."

Jepherson slowly opened his eyes and gazed at Raeleigh. "Tell him then."

Raeleigh went out to pass on the message to Seibert, who left afterwards. When Raeleigh went back to the ward, she did not go to sleep but she took out her phone and texted Xanthus.

Xanthus needed to take care of Stuart. If he left for too long, then he might raise others' suspicions. Therefore, he left after sending Santiago here and waited for Raeleigh to take a shower and change her clothes. He hadn't come over again since then.

Raeleigh told Xanthus that she was not going back that night.

After Xanthus received the message, he replied to Raeleigh, who then kept her phone away. However, she did not rest because she wanted to wait for Seibert to return. After all, Santiago was injured, and she felt apprehensive about resting without someone to look after him.

She leaned against the door, where there was a couch. If there was any movement outside, then she would definitely hear it.
