Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1420

Jepherson got up to head upstairs, but stopped at the foot of the stairs and turned back to look at Lamar and Jazelle. "I'll be staying here until New Year's Day. After that, I'll leave and go find out the truth before returning to pick Raeleigh up."

Then, he headed upstairs, his face cold.

If he could fall out with his own family, he could fall out with Raeleigh's. Nobody would be able to stop him.

Raeleigh was resting when she heard someone open the door. She knew it was Jepherson and opened her eyes to look at him.

She was a little bemused at his grave expression. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He walked over to her and took her hand, rubbing it with his hands.

She knew that something must have happened, but it was impossible to make him tell her.

After thinking for some time, she figured it out.

"Did my father say that he won't allow us to get married even if the Richards family isn't behind my kidnapping?"

Jepherson did not answer, but Raeleigh could tell from his expression that she'd guessed correctly.

She was silent for a while. "If so, we..."

"Never!"

He immediately cut her off, glaring at her. She swallowed the rest of her sentence.

Amused, she said, "I still haven't figured out what love really is, but you already have me wrapped around your finger."

"Maybe it's just me, but the harder things get, the less I want to give up. It's like how I refused to let you go when I knew you were sick, but I regretted it when you recovered. I felt like I'd been tricked."

She fell silent, which put Jepherson in a great mood. He pinched her face. "I love you like this. You're destined to be with me."

"Oh, please. How narcissistic can you be?"

Raeleigh harrumphed conceitedly.

He lay down next to her, holding her hand in his and closing his eyes. "Everything's happened so suddenly. I've been trying to find a way out of this, but nothing's working."

"Raeleigh, give me some time to find out the truth."

"Your parents are right. You're the one who's in the most danger now, so this can't go on for long."

Raeleigh didn't respond. Jepherson soon fell asleep, which made her worry. He was so exhausted that he could fall asleep even without eating. It was similar to when he'd gotten sick.

She wanted to wake him up, but she couldn't bear to. At the same time, allowing him to continue sleeping was just making her worry.

She couldn't help feeling amused at how weird humans were. They desperately wanted to get their hands on things that they couldn't have, yet when those things were easily within reach, they would throw them aside.

Jepherson didn't go home to celebrate New Year's with his family. On New Year's Eve, Raeleigh watched as he called his relatives, feeling a little uncomfortable.

This was probably his first time spending New Year's away from his family.

She'd just turned to leave when Jepherson called out to her. She turned back, and he took a photo of her for Jenna.

"Come here."

He was calling her over like she was his lackey, but her body reacted before her mind could.

He held her in his arms before turning on the camera.

Raeleigh blushed a little. She'd thought that it was just Jenna, but Hansen was there as well.

"Raeleigh, I've prepared some gifts for you. When are you coming?"

Jenna looked radiant in her outfit, just like a young woman.

Raeleigh thought for a moment. "Maybe in two weeks?"

"I'll be waiting, then."

"I'm hanging up."

"Okay."
