Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1436

Santiago's bandages made him look like a poor imitation of a mummy. He pulled Raeleigh to him, though she jerked back her hand and gritted, "Do not touch me."

He stood behind her, hands on his hips. "Et tu, Raeleigh? You just had a fill of your touchy-feely time with my body and you say no when it's my turn?"

She packed up her things, putting them under the bed and kicking it deep into the empty space. She raised her head and glared at him. "What's the deal with you, huh?"

The moment she looked up, a rare expression of rage surfaced on her petite face.

Santiago went all scarecrow mode.

Looking at Raeleigh's flickering eyes, he dared not meet her gaze.

She was so furious that her face had lost all blood color. She looked around and continued to clean up, squatting down and wiping the floor.

Santiago looked down at her. "It's common for boys to fight. This is just a minor injury. No lives were lost in that essential teenage rite of passage."

Slap!

Raeleigh threw the rag in her hand to the ground and got up suddenly. She turned around and scowled at his handsome face.

"If someone wants to die, no one can do anything about it or stop them, but would you be able to carry the weight of it?" Her menacing eyes were on Santiago, who frowned. He was speechless.

Xanthus pushed the door open and came in. The two of them looked at him. He put down the clothes and murmured, "Whoops, sorry, didn't mean to disturb."

Raeleigh stepped forward and threw the clothes towards Santiago. She jostled Xanthus away and went downstairs, took her keys and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Afraid that something would happen to her, Xanthus turned around and followed her out.

"This temper of hers..."

Standing inside the room, Santiago looked down at the clothes thrown at him and put them on one by one. He leaned over the railing outside and looked at the door, but Raeleigh had already left.

Xanthus was trying his best to stop Raeleigh, but having failed, he had no choice but to follow her outside.

She did not have her driver's license on her, but she didn't hold back on the speed. When she arrived at her destination, Xanthos breathed a sigh of relief and followed her into the market.

Raeleigh had brought nothing but money.

"How much is this?" Raeleigh asked a butcher for the price of meat. After he told her the price, she was bewildered for a moment. "Sounds rather expensive to me."

There was no other way. Raeleigh couldn't ask her parents for money, although both her parents and Xanthus had given her some in advance. She didn't need to earn money at all.

Even so, Raeleigh still hoped that she could make enough money to support herself.

The man smiled and said, "Nah, this is already considered cheap. I got this one at two in the morning. If you were to look for one that I got at four in the morning, it'd be even more expensive. Around twice the amount."

"Is there any difference?" Raeleigh asked, and the seller kindly explained, "There's bone marrow inside. If too much time passes, it goes bad. The fresher it is, the better it is for the body, especially for growing children."

Raeleigh thought for a moment. "Aside from these, is there anything fresher?" "They'd be even more expensive than this one. Are you sure?" he asked. She nodded after contemplating for a while.

Xanthus, who was standing at the side, lowered his head and laughed. She had thought the one she had gone for at first was too expensive, but her principle didn't apply when it was something high quality.

The seller quickly brought over something fresher. Looking at it, she did think it looked that way.

"Then I'll take one, two, three... I'll take six."

Raeleigh felt that six was enough, while the seller was quite amused. He then got six bones for Raeleigh, who then took them and walked in another direction. Xanthus reached out and grabbed the bones from her. "So, these isn't expensive, huh?"

She glanced at him. "I'm so freaking annoyed."
