Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1428

Santiago ushered Xanthus and Raeleigh into his car and put their luggage into the trunk.

Then, he brought them for some food.

Raeleigh hadn't intended on going because she was feeling lethargic, but Santiago didn't even ask what their plans were. He drove them straight to a restaurant.

She was almost asleep when they reached their destination. She opened her eyes and looked around blearily. Once they were in the restaurant, she sat down and started nodding off again.

Santiago touched her hand, but she did not react at all.

"Why are you so sleepy? Have you not slept for days?"

Raeleigh opened her eyes groggily and watched as Santiago put his hand back on his thigh. She looked around and saw that they weren't in a private room like usual, but were instead in the main dining hall.

"I ordered steak. What would you like to eat?" Santiago asked Raeleigh. She took the menu and ordered something similar to what Santiago had ordered.

Raeleigh didn't speak much through the meal. After eating, she rested while Santiago watched her as he ate. He flirted with her occasionally, but Raeleigh seemed not to have heard it. She had already gotten used to Santiago's bad habits.

After eating, Raeleigh wanted to go home, so he drove them back.

Raeleigh got out of the car and asked Santiago, "How did you know I was coming back today?"

After thinking about all the possibilities, she concluded that this did not seem to be a coincidence.

"I can find out anything if I put my mind to it. I have something else to do, take this." Santiago took a bag out from the car and put it on top of her luggage before leaving.

Once he was gone, Xanthus walked over to the bag and opened it up.

The bag fell to the ground, revealing a red fur coat. Raeleigh frowned as Xanthus draped it over her. "It looks good."

Raeleigh touched it. Indeed, it was warm and beautiful, but it was too red!

"It's too red." Raeleigh wanted to take it off, but Xanthus asked, "How old do you think you are? It's a beautiful colour, and everyone's dressed like this for the holidays."

Raeleigh said nothing and took off the coat. "Why'd he get me this all of a sudden?"

"A New Year's present, perhaps."

Raeleigh didn't respond. She'd just leave it at that.

She turned and walked into the house with the fur coat in her arms while Xanthus dragged their luggage along.

She went back to her room and scrutinised the fur coat. Should she wear it?

Speaking of New Year's presents, it seemed that she had not sent any yet.

Raeleigh called Jepherson, and he answered it within two rings.

"Miss me?" Jepherson didn't know about Raeleigh and Xanthus's return, so he flirted with her.

Raeleigh hesitated for a moment. "I do miss you a little."

Jepherson raised an eyebrow. "That's a surprise."

He put his work aside and walked over to the French window.

Raeleigh hummed. "But..."

"But what?" Jepherson's curiosity was piqued. It seemed that this was a special day.

"Aren't you going to send me a gift for New Year?" Raeleigh said directly. Jepherson thought for a moment. "What do you want?"

"I want to see you," Raeleigh answered. Jepherson held the phone away from his ear and looked at it suspiciously. The called ID showed that the number wasn't a local one.
