Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1370

Santiago brought Raeleigh to Waverly Village. Raeleigh got out of the car and quickly surveyed her surroundings. She realized that she was in front of Jack Town Hotel.

A few moments later, Santiago walked into the hotel first and Raeleigh followed him in.

As soon as Raeleigh entered the door, she heard people talking. She quickly glanced around the room and realised that there was a dinner function going on. All kinds of people were present. The younger ones were engaged in some game at the front. They were cheering and shouting as they played. It looked like the game was very intense.

Santiago took Raeleigh's wrist and dragged her through the crowd, towards the front and pointed towards the game. "Let's join in."

It was only here that Raeleigh realised the game involved a man and a woman. It was like a three-legged race. The only difference was that they had to pick up the balls from the ground and toss it into their respective baskets. The women were responsible for picking up balls, while the men were responsible for fighting over the balls. Although there were a lot of balls on the floor, the opponents were allowed to stop them from picking up the balls, making the game a little more challenging.

Some of them couldn't continue with the game. They had bruises on their faces and were standing at one side rubbing their injuries.

Raeleigh shook her head. "Forget it. You just recovered and I don't want to get beaten up."

"Don't worry, they won't hit women." Jacky walked up to Raeleigh and handed her a lollipop. Raeleigh reached out and accepted the lollipop, "I haven't heard anything about Deanna yet but I'm still trying to come up with a solution. Don't worry, I'll keep my word."

"Well talk about Deanna later. Let's talk about the game first." Jacky raised his chin and pointed towards the game.

While Raeleigh was watching the game, Jacky explained, "This game is held once every year, usually around new year. All these people present here today are some of the most reputable people in Waverly Village. Do you see that box in the front? That box contains the grand prize, which is the same every year. The winner will be awarded a house here in Waverly Village. It means that these kids are actually fighting for a house. That's why the competition is so fierce." "I don't think we should join in then. We don't need a house," Raeleigh said. Santiago immediately retorted, "Who said so? Let's not waste this opportunity."

Raeleigh was speechless. She cast Santiago a look of disgust. "You are from the Richards family. I'm sure you can afford a house. I think it's better for you to let these people fight for the house instead."

Raeleigh had good intentions. Some of these people had probably trained for one year just to have a shot in winning a house. It wasn't fair for Santiago to come and play for the house just because he felt like it.

Santiago did not agree with Raeleigh. "Yes, I am from the Richards family, but I don't have any money nor do I own a house. I want to win myself a house. If my father ever kicks me out of the house, at least I'll still have my own place. Am I wrong?"

"Why would your father kick you out of the house? Your parents love you. So does Jepherson. I doubt they would ever kick you out."

"These things can change anytime. I've made up my mind. I'm going to try and win the house. Come with me!"

Santiago pulled Raeleigh towards the centre, wanting to participate in the game.

Raeleigh was reluctant to play. Jacky said to Raeleigh, "You may not win. These people are very experienced and they have been training for over a year. What are your chances of winning?"

Raeleigh felt that Jacky was right. What were their chances of winning? Regardless of how good Santiago thought he was, they would not be able to win if she didn't pick up a ball.

Raeleigh asked Jacky how many teams were left in the game. He said, "There's a total of six team, including yours."

"Alright then, let's play." Raeleigh finally gave in. Jacky took them to one side and they started preparing for the game. They tied their legs together and joined the rest of the teams.

Soon, the game began. Raeleigh and Santiago quickly started picking up the balls. Although it took awhile for Raeleigh to get used to it, she was slowly able to move around without tripping over with Santiago's help.

In less than a minute, one of the teams fell.

Raeleigh heard the girl scolding the boy. "You're useless! We're done!"

The boy kept giving excuses but the girl was having none of it.
