Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1486

Jepherson refused to look back, and Stella let out a scornful laugh, "Why did I fall in love with someone like you?"

"That was a mistake from the start. Love needs to be mutual," Jepherson replied.

"You may not love me, but you have no reason to stop me from loving you. Compared to her love for you, mine is greater, stronger, and more persistent. Nothing can cause it to waver. It's as sturdy as a rock."

Hearing that, Jepherson turned to look at Stella with some amusement, "Are you sure you love me?"

"A hundred percent." Stella had placed everything on the line, and there was no way she would back down. However, Jepherson did not respond and only gave her a meaningful look.

They looked at each other. Finally, Stella asked, "Don't you believe me?"

He turned around, answering lightly, "I don't have the right to ask for the truth from someone I had never thought of loving.

"Raeleigh is hesitant with her love because she had too many concerns, but you're different. You can act arbitrarily. However, when compared to your love, hers is more honest. I can see through her feelings."

"Then can't you see through my feelings?" Stella's eyes glinted, her expression darkening slightly. If she did not do something about Raeleigh, things would get out of hand. As long as she could get rid of Raeleigh once and for all, she did not care if Jepherson ended up hating her. She would make him hers.

She would wait for him. She had plenty of time.

Jepherson did not turn around. "Stella, I see you in the same way as to how I see Scarlette and Deanna. You can also think of me as an elder brother. That will benefit us both. Anyway, you should rest. You'll be fine since you've taken the medicine. Your guards are around too. I'll go out and take a look."

"In such heavy snow?" Stella asked in disbelief.

Jepherson took his jacket. "It's fine."

Once he was outside, he saw that it was snowing rather heavily indeed. However, it was not going to stop him from going to Raeleigh.

Raeleigh woke up from her sleep in a daze. She had heard something downstairs. It sounded like someone was knocking on the door.

She peeked out the window groggily from under her quilt. Santiago was fast asleep next to her, so she shoved him lightly. "Get up. Is there someone outside?"

Santiago rolled his eyes. "What's wrong with you? Are you hearing things in the middle of the night?"

Raeleigh ignored Santiago and listened carefully once again, her eyes darting to the windowpane, which was covered with snow. Then, she got out of bed and walked toward the stairs. Santiago got up as well.

"You're so troublesome!" he muttered.

Xanthus opened his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I need to go to the bathroom, so I'll go and take a look." With that, Raeleigh went downstairs. Santiago followed her. She pricked up her ears, listening for any sound. After all, in this weather, the sound of gusting wind could be similar to someone knocking on the door.

Once she was downstairs, Raeleigh hesitated a little at the door. The weather was so terrible that opening the door would dispel what little warmth was inside the house. If what she heard was only the noise from the wind, then she would make the whole place chilly for nothing, so she could not help being cautious.

"Is anyone there?" Raeleigh called out near the door. After a few seconds, she heard Jepherson's deep voice. "It's me."

She was startled, then she hurriedly opened the door without thinking a second thought.

As expected, the howling wind gushed in, blasting her in the face and effectively waking her. Raeleigh shuddered, then widened her eyes at the sight of Jepherson. He was covered in snow and looked like a snowman. He could barely move a muscle.

He stood at the door. Even his eyelashes were frozen. When Santiago saw him, he yanked him inside without a word and began vigorously dusting the snow off him.

Raeleigh quickly shut the door and turned to look at Jepherson.

Jepherson looked like a human-sized snowman after trudging in the snowstorm. His skin was frostbitten and red.
