Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1414

"How's the investigation on Seibert going? Did you find out who he's working for?" Jepherson slurped up the last of his noodles before bringing the bowl into the kitchen. Santiago followed him. The two brothers talked about this matter as they walked.

"I asked, but boy, he wouldn't breath a word! I did find a suspicious number in his phone, and when I called, Flynt was the one who answered."

"Since when did they start contacting each other?"

"Well, your guess is as good as mine. We're still investigating."

"Just put it aside for now. Raeleigh's in a bad mood and I'm planning to stay and take care of her. Zorion will be spending New Year's alone. Why don't you and Jacky crash at his place, give him a little pick-me-up?"

"What about us?"

"I will inform Mom and Dad. I'm planning to accompany Raeleigh to her parents'. I have something I need to ask them."

Santiago gave Jacky a call and was surprised to hear that he was actually standing outside of Raeleigh's house. So, Santiago went to open the door for him.

"I'm not here for you, I'm here for Raeleigh."

"What for?"

Santiago then turned around and head upstairs. Jacky quickly hung up his coat before following Santiago.

Santiago asked, "Why are you looking for my boo?"

Goosebumps crawled all over Jacky's body when he heard how Santiago referred to Raeleigh, but he did not say anything.

Santiago knocked twice on Raeleigh's door, but she did not answer. At this time, she was lying in bed with the quilt wrapped tightly around her body. When she heard someone opening the door, she turned to look at it. She froze for a while before she got out of bed.

Raeleigh had already changed into her pyjamas. It wasn't until she saw Jacky standing behind Santiago that she got out bed.

Otherwise, she would have stayed in bed.

"Are you here for Deanna?"

Raeleigh suddenly remembered the promise she'd made with Jacky.

Jacky entered the room and said, "I did not mean to disturb you. I wouldn't have come if I'd known you were sick."

"No worries. Give me a minute."

Raeleigh tried to rummage for her phone on the bedside table, but realised that it wasn't there anymore.

As she searched, she muttered to herself, "Where the hell is my phone?"

She suddenly recalled Jepherson's words. Only then she turned around and look at Santiago.

"Your phone? Oh, it's been infected with virus. I've already dumped it," Santiago said as he sat down on the bed and lay down.

Jacky asked, "Then what should we do?"

Raeleigh thought for a moment. "Do you have your phone with you?"

"Yes, I do."

Jacky took out his phone and passed it to Raeleigh. She opened it and typed in the number. She was once worried that she would either lose her phone or it would stop working. Who would have thought that her prophecy was right on the mark?

Fortunately, Raeleigh had memorised the number, or else she did not know what she would have done.

Raeleigh prayed that her memory did not fail her. She typed in the number and pressed dial.

Hello?"

Deanna was very carefully when answering call these days.

Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Deanna's voice. "Deanna! It's me, Raeleigh. I have a bad news for you, I lost my phone and I am unable to retrieve my old number. I'm currently down with the flu, so I can't go out and get a new number either."

"This is Xanthus's number. From now on, I will contact you with this number. Do you understand?"

Deanna's eyes twitched. "Yes, I understand."

Raeleigh exhaled a long breath. She then looked at Jacky before asking Deanna, "Are you free to talk? I want to catch up. I'll most probably call you everyday since I'm stuck in bed. Scarlette's not here to accompany me. I'm bored out of my mind."

Deanna had put her phone on loudspeaker for her parents to listen into their conversation before answering the phone. Hannah knew that her daughter did it on purpose. She knew her intentions. As her mother, how could she not know?

"Keep the noise down. Up you go." Hannah could not stand it anymore and drove her daughter away.

Deanna hurriedly scuttled upstairs to her room.
