Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1455

When Xanthus saw Raeleigh crying, he held her even tighter and looked sharply at Jepherson, who had his gaze at the sibling.

Jepherson walked to them and said, "This is my fault."

"I'm a little tired today. Mr. Richards, please go back."

Xanthus patted Raeleigh as he continued glaring daggers at Jepherson. Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh and said, "Raeleigh..."

"Please leave. I need to calm down." Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson. She really needed to calm down; if it went on, she'd break down.

Jepherson frowned and looked at Xanthus. "Help me take care of her."

Then, he walked past them and entered his car.

Raeleigh stared at Jepherson's retreating figure, and her heart sank. He kept telling her how important trust was, and he promised that no matter what happened, he would always protect their relationship. But...

Why did he always make her worry?

She watched the car leave, then looked up at Xanthus. "Are you alright? Did Stella hurt you?"

"It's not that serious. I only went to treat Stella; I had to check on her illness." To ease her worries, he did not tell the truth. He held her as the two of them walked into the house.

Raeleigh doubted his words. How could someone like Stella not do anything to him?

When the two of them entered the house, Xanthus told Raeleigh he hadn't had dinner yet, and he requested her to cook some food while he went to take a shower.

Raeleigh obeyed and went to make dinner. She finished cooking before Xanthus came back, so she went up to his room. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard Xanthus talking to someone over the phone.

He was talking about performing a full- body examination or something.

Raeleigh frowned and knocked at the door, "Dinner's ready."

"Alright, I'm coming." Xanthus hung up the phone and came out of the room, then turned to Raeleigh and asked, "When did you come?"

"When you were on the phone." Raeleigh stared at him, wondering if he was hiding something from her.

"Why didn't you knock earlier? I'm hungry."

Xanthus ruffled her hair and headed downstairs, Raeleigh following suit. The two went to the kitchen. Raeleigh served the food for Xanthus, and he sat down and ate leisurely. Raeleigh sat opposite him and looked at him. "What happened?"

Xanthus glanced at her and said, "What will you do if I tell you something has happened to me?"

Raeleigh pursed her lips. "I will not let Stella off the hook."

"It doesn't matter if you let her off the hook or not. Besides, you're not that kind of person, are you?" Xanthus knew her well.

Raeleigh said nothing, but she was visibly upset.

"I'm doing a full-body examination tomorrow; you'll know when the results come out." Xanthus stared at the food in front of him and took a bite, feeling a little nauseous.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Nothing."

Xanthus did not want Raeleigh to lose sleep over his matter, but she seemed to be worried sick already.

After eating, Xanthus stood up and motioned for Raeleigh to join him on the sofa to watch TV.

Otherwise, Raeleigh would not be able to rest if they separated.

The two of them sat down, and Xanthus asked, "What would you like to watch?"

Raeleigh exhaled a murky breath. "Animal World."
