Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1466

"That still won't do. We can't afford to be caught unprepared. From now on, Santiago must stay by our side, and you need to learn self-defense. I will prepare some medicine and knives for you."

Xanthus had already made up his mind; they couldn't fight an unprepared battle.

Raeleigh looked at Xanthus, dumbfounded. "Xanthus..."

Before Xanthus could speak, Raeleigh rushed to say, "It's illegal to have knives on you. I can't possibly take a knife with me."

"Then it's legal for them to hurt you?" Xanthus asked, but Raeleigh hesitated. "We're not the same as them."

"We're not that different. If they lay their hands on us, what we have to do is break them."

Xanthus had made up his mind; no one could change it. They did not stir up the trouble, but it doesn't mean others could trample on them.

It was a world of dark and light. If they insisted on being a pacifist, they would be the ones to die in the end.

Raeleigh knew Xanthus was serious this time, but she couldn't agree to his methods.

"Santiago can't stay with us all the time; he has things he has to do. What's more, his arm still hasn't healed. Even if he stays with us, he can't do anything." Raeleigh argued.

With that, Xanthus retorted, "It'll do as long as Jacky's around. Also, this is not his first rodeo; it's already an everyday thing for him to be with us."

Seeing Xanthus wasn't giving in, Raeleigh could only give up.

Xanthus got up and went downstairs. He told Santiago to stay with them for the next half a month.

"Okay, I don't mind. It doesn't matter where I'm at as long as there's food and drink." Santiago thought it was better that way; it meant that he didn't have to go anywhere else.

Standing aside, although Raeleigh was in a dilemma, she thought the four of them together would be safer than just her and her brother. Moreover, there were people protecting Santiago; if something did happen, they wouldn't sit idly.

When the matter was settled, she decided to prepare dinner. She had just entered the kitchen when she received a call from Jepherson.

He wanted her to tell everyone that Scarlette was treating them to a meal.

Finding it odd, she asked, "Why would she want to treat us to a meal?"

He didn't answer. He hadn't had a proper meal for a whole day; couldn't they at least eat together?

Then, the phone was hung up. Raeleigh stared at it strangely and intended to call him again but didn't at the thought that she might make Jepherson misunderstand something.

Thus, she called Scarlette. She was sitting in Jepherson's car. On seeing that it was Raeleigh's number, she glanced at him and thought, "What bad luck!"

"Hello!" Scarlette immediately answered.

"Scarlette, it's Raeleigh."

Raeleigh said on the other side, and she replied right away, "I know it is you. Are you with Mr. Jepherson?"

C'mon, she was the one with him, alright?!

Raeleigh thought for a moment. "No. Is there anything important?"

"I did talk to him about inviting you guys over for dinner. Bring Santiago and Dr. Osteen with you, and that Jacky. I want to discuss some marriage matters. Isn't it a matter of liveliness and joy?"

Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Well..." "Didn't Mr. Jepherson call?" Scarlette asked, but

Raeleigh didn't answer.

"It may be that he has been too busy to remember. I'll call him again." With that, Scarlette wanted to hang up, but Raeleigh immediately said, "No, I'll call him. The guys happen to be with me."
