Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1490

While Raeleigh went to whip up a meal, Jepherson sat in her room and studied her drafts. In addition to her two notebooks and phone, pens, piles of papers, and drafts littered her desk.

He stared at the design and thought of the other designers he had met earlier. He placed his coat aside, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up a pen to help. When Raeleigh came out of the kitchen, Xanthus was drinking water while Jepherson was editing the drafts. Perhaps due to the small space, Jepherson had some difficulty focusing, but he persisted.

Raeleigh put the dishes on the table and walked to Jepherson's side, staring intently at his drafts. Even though he only made some changes to the design, she could not help but admit that he had an innate talent for designing.

She had struggled to come up with a solution for the design for days, but it only took him an hour to come up with a design that exceeded her expectations,

She fixed her eyes on the drawing, sighing. "I couldn't come up with anything for days, but you produced something gorgeous with just a few

casual strokes. I'm so jealous."

As she spoke, Jepherson looked up from the desk, but he did not say anything. He then turned back to continue editing the drafts.

Raeleigh watched attentively. Jepherson said, "Compared to your talent, I'm the one who should be jealous.

"No matter what happens, your mind is always so clear and calm.

"Your draw inspiration from everywhere and everything around you.

"But I can't do that. I can only concentrate on the specifics to get inspired.

"When I see the design, I can tell what is coherent and what needs to be changed. However, producing an original design from scratch is impossible for me.

"As a designer, that is one of my failures. Do you still envy me?"

Jepherson put down the pen. Raeleigh looked at him in surprise, appearing not to have heard him. "What did you say?"

The corners of his lips curved upwards. Smiling helplessly, he said, "An innate talent is something that comes naturally. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called that."

After saying that, Jepherson went to wash his hands. Raeleigh looked at the drawing, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She followed Jepherson to the bathroom like a child, impatient for answers.

While washing his hands, Jepherson looked at Raeleigh in the mirror and explained, "I can't concentrate when I don't have a direction. I can't think of anything innovative.

"My mom said that I gave all of my patience to that sister of mine. I'm restless, and I need time to learn to ground myself.

"Although my designs have been very popular in recent years, I don't think they're perfect. I know what's wrong with them, but I don't want to make changes unless I have to.

"Instead, I prefer people like you, and I envy you."

After washing his hands, Jepherson turned and kissed Raeleigh. She ducked backward, then raised her head and continued to look at him. "You're lying, aren't you?"

"No." Jepherson lowered his head and sealed her lips with his again. She raised her hands to push him away as he held onto her waist with his arms, trying not to let his wet hands touch her clothes. It was a while before he let her go.

She stared at him dubiously, feeling like there was more to what he said.

"I can't tell what you're thinking. I can't even tell whether what you told me is true or not."

Feeling quite helpless, Raeleigh left.

She liked him, but she could not read him.

She felt like such a failure!

Jepherson followed Raeleigh out of the bathroom and they sat down to eat.

After eating, she calmly asked Jepherson if he was leaving later that day, to which he retorted by asking her whether he should.

Raeleigh was amused. "I'm just asking. What did you have in mind?"
