Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1402

Hugging Raeleigh from behind, Jepherson asked her, "The snow is stunningly beautiful, isn't it?"

Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson. Then, she turned back around and continued to watch the snow fall outside. After a while, she asked Jepherson, "What did Xanthus say to you?" "He told me the reason you were kidnapped was because of a batch of antiques, and the family who was responsible for that is the Richards family."

Jepherson whispered in Raeleigh's ear, but she only briefly looked at him. "Did you ask your parents whether it was them?"

"Yes, I did, but they say it wasn't them."

When Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms, she said, "But that doesn't mean it wasn't done by someone in your family."

"What if it was really us?"

"I don't know."

It was getting dark outside. After a moment of silence, Jepherson said he wanted to spend the night here, so he led Raeleigh upstairs to her room. Xanthus did not intervene in this matter. He could not possibly knock on the door and ask Jepherson to sleep outside.

Since Raeleigh had consented, then he, as a brother, should not intervene.

The next morning, Raeleigh got up, put on one of Jepherson's shirt and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. At this time, Xanthus have also woken up and wanted to get a glass of water when he saw her in the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, Xanthus asked Raeleigh, "Have you come to a decision?"

Standing in the kitchen, Raeleigh replied, "I can't just give up when this incident has nothing to do with him."

Xanthus also thought so. If she could give up a relationship over such petty issues, chances were it would not last.

"That's good. You're very brave, but you do know that there's a price to pay for being brave, don't you?"

"When I see Deanna and Jacky, I feel that life is too short to hurt the people we love." Raeleigh did not want to explain too much. Regardless what it was, she had made up her mind.

It was not up to anyone to determine whether her decision was right or wrong.

Jepherson was walking down the stairs just as Xanthus emerged from the kitchen. Their eyes met. Xanthus stopped at the kitchen door with his arms crossed, as if he had been waiting for him.

Jepherson calmly walked down the stairs, dressed in a white pyjamas with floral print. He greeted Xanthus as he walked, "Morning."

Xanthus uncrossed his arms and waited for Jepherson to walk down the stairs. The two stood face to face. Xanthus asked Jepherson, "Even if you've solved your family's problem, how are you planning to solve the problem around you now? Don't forget, you still have a brother."

"Santiago is just a kid," Jepherson said straightforwardly. Xanthus found himself amusing as he thought that he now had the penchant for being a busybody.

"Whatever, as long as Raeleigh does not get hurt." Xanthus turned around and headed straight for the door. He was wearing his workout attire.

Jepherson shouted, "Hold up!"

Xanthus turned around and briefly looked at Jepherson before heading out the door. Jepherson glanced towards the kitchen before heading back upstairs to change into his workout clothes. Then, he came downstairs again.

Jepherson stood by the kitchen door and informed Raeleigh, "I'm going out for a while."

Raeleigh turned around. "It's so cold outside! Why would you want to go out?"

"To get some fresh air."

By the time Raeleigh emerged from the kitchen, Jepherson had already disappeared. Raeleigh was speechless. She walked to the door to have a look before realising that he was going on a run with Xanthus.

Raeleigh turned around and went back into the kitchen to continue making breakfast.

By the time she was done cooking, Jepherson and Xanthus had returned from their morning run.

Xanthus mentioned over breakfast that he was planning to head over to the hospital and wanted Raeleigh to accompany him.

Raeleigh agreed. After all, he was her brother.
