Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1536

"Santiago bought the fruits," Jepherson said as he took off his coat and put it aside. Santiago entered the room and glanced at Raeleigh before taking a seat. He did not seem like he was going to apologize to her at all.

Raeleigh glanced at Santiago. "What? Is this his way of apologizing?"

"I guess. How would you like him to apologize?" Jepherson asked. Raeleigh replied, "I want him to promise that he will never hit me again. He is not allowed to lay his hands on me nor scream at me for no reason."

Jepherson turned to look at Santiago, who then said, "Flynt is up to no good. He's just trying to come up with ways to approach you, don't you know that? Why are you blaming me for what happened?"

"So, what you're saying is that you're not in the wrong?" Jepherson questioned. Santiago hesitated for a moment before replying, "No."

"So, you're a hypocrite now?" Jepherson picked up an apple and took it to the washroom sink to wash it. Raeleigh watched as Jepherson entered the bathroom before turning to look at Santiago. She did not say anything to him; she had nothing to say to him. The only reason she talked to him before was because Jepherson was there.

There was no need for her to fake it anymore since Jepherson was not in their vicinity.

After Jepherson came out of the bathroom, he cut the apple into half. One half of the apple was handed to Raeleigh. "Here, have some. You aren't allowed to eat too much, though, since you've just recovered."

Raeleigh took the half of the apple that was offered to her but did not eat. "I'm going to pass. I've already brushed my teeth."

"I'll give it to Santiago then." Jepherson plucked it out of Raeleigh's hand and gave it to his brother. Santiago did not eat it. Instead, he grabbed another whole apple before leaning back in his chair and taking a bite.

"Are you still mad?" Jepherson sat down and looked at Raeleigh. "How're you feeling?"

"I'm doing well. The doctor said that if I don't come down with a fever tonight, I can be discharged tomorrow."

Jepherson raised his hand and touched Raeleigh's forehead. After confirming that she was fine, he got up and brushed his teeth. After he returned, it was Santiago's turn. Then, the three went to sleep after turning off the lights.

Jepherson shared a bed with Raeleigh while Santiago had an entire bed to himself.

Raeleigh couldn't fall asleep at first, but she gradually sank into sleep as time passed.

When Raeleigh got up in the morning, Santiago was in the bathroom washing up, while Jepherson was changing his clothes. When Jepherson realised that Raeleigh was awake, he briefly checked the time before walking over to her. He placed his hand on her forehead to make sure that she was not running a fever. Then, he turned to the door and asked one of his subordinates to handle the formalities of her being discharged from the hospital.

Raeleigh got out of bed and got dressed in clean clothes, ready to leave the hospital.

However, as soon as Raeleigh got into the car, she realized that they weren't heading to Waverly Village but someplace else.

"Where are we going?"

Raeleigh could not think of any matter she had left unattended to.

"We're going to meet a stylist,"

Jepherson told Raeleigh. He held her hand and gently stroked it. Miffed, Raeleigh asked, "What for?"

"We have a press conference to attend. I've been so busy for the past week with Scarlette's wedding preparations and accompanying your parents that I had to postpone the conference to this week."

"I thought you said that I could skip it?" When Raeleigh brought that up, she recalled that she initially was supposed to have a dress custom-made abroad for the event. However, things had taken an unexpected turn.

The corners of Jepherson's lips quirked upwards. "You can skip the press conference, but there's a banquet you need to attend after that. The banquet is scheduled to start at eight o'clock tonight. We'll have to be there by seven. That's why we're heading over to meet the stylist now."

"I mean, I can dress myself. I don't need a stylist. I'll just go like this."

Raeleigh took one look at her current appearance. Jepherson just smiled and looked out the window while holding Raeleigh's hand.

Raeleigh had no choice but follow through with the appointment. When the stylist met Raeleigh, she was extremely happy. She knew Raeleigh was the type of client who would look gorgeous regardless of what she wore.

Raeleigh immediately became the center of attention, as she was accompanied by the two sons of the Richards family.
