Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1459

Raeleigh didn't sleep a wink. Xanthus's rapid breathing finally soothed, and he had fallen asleep late at night. Seeing so, she sat up from the sofa, her gaze turning to Animal World playing softly on TV.

Raeleigh had loved watching the program ever since she was a child. Although it was the same few episodes, there were no complex relationships or ugly lies and deceits.

Everything seemed so pure and simple. Because of that, she was drawn to it without hesitation.

Before meeting Jepherson, she had never thought about marriage, let alone falling in love.

She longed for a simple life. The sort that she could go home to watch TV alone when she was tired, accompany her grandmother, take her to see the world, or try new food. That was all.

She had experienced death once, and she was afraid of going through it once more. However, the current situation had escalated way beyond her control. So much so that she didn't know what to do.

Her eyes traveled through the empty space in front of her and fixed on the window.

Getting up quietly, she walked to the window with a throw wrapped around herself, staring at the dark silence outside.

"Is it true that for as long as she is alive, nothing can ever be certain?" A thought drifted inside her.

Outside the window was a thick layer of fluttering snow. Intrigued at the white night, Raeleigh wanted to go out and have a look, but after a mental struggle, she looked back at Xanthus and gave up.

After returning to the sofa, Raeleigh sat there in a daze.

So this was what it was like to have a family. She couldn't bear to part with him, and her heart ached.

Seeing Xanthus suffering because of her, there came a moment when she thought how it would be great if he had not found her, if they hadn't reunited at all.

Whether she would live or die, it was all up to the heavens.

Xanthus frowned in his sleep, leading her to sit up anxiously immediately. Was he suffering again?

After a few seconds, his deeply locked brows gradually relaxed, and Raeleigh's pounding heart eased together with his eyebrows, calming down again.

If he could continue to sleep comfortably, she could finally have a rest too.

Raeleigh's mind raced, lying on the sofa, thinking about a lot of things. She felt drowsy but unable to rest at all.

Near dawn, she heard someone open the door upstairs. Raeleigh opened her eyes and followed the direction, her gaze meeting Jepherson, who came down in his changed pajamas.

She stared for a while but made no response, then closed her eyes.

Jepherson went directly to Raeleigh and Xanthus. When he arrived in front of Raeleigh, he bent over and scooped Raeleigh right into his arms. Startled, her eyes flew open, and she threw him a furious glare.

But before Raeleigh could yell at him, Jepherson whispered to her at once, "Do you want to wake Xanthus?"

With that, she gnashed her teeth in frustration. She hated that he bullied her like this the most.

Mad, she pinched at his arm, leading him to frown and look down at her, gritting his teeth.

The two butt heads; the harder she pinched, the less response Jepherson gave.

Even when she had no energy left, he still wouldn't let her go.

She glared at him, waiting for him to release her, only for him to ask, "Doesn't your heart ache to pinch me?"

Raeleigh's fingers loosened a little at that but did not let go.

Jepherson was about to leave with her in his arms when Xanthus asked, sitting on the sofa behind them, "What are you doing?"
