Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1569

It was Raeleigh's first time sitting on that bed. After all, it was all new, and she didn't know where the old one had gone.

Raeleigh sat on one side whereas Jepherson sat on the other.

Raeleigh didn't take off her clothes. Jepherson, who was the complete opposite, was snuggled warmly in the quilt with half of his body exposed.

Raeleigh turned her back to Jepherson, not daring to look at him.

"Go to sleep," Jepherson called out to her from behind. Raeleigh mumbled a reply and turned the lights off. Seeing as Raeleigh did not take her clothes off, Jepherson lifted the quilt and laid aside, turning around to hold her in his arms. It was uncomfortable to hold her since her clothes were of a prison guard's, and it felt stiff and stuffy.

"Is this garment rented or borrowed?" Jepherson asked Raeleigh softly. Raeleigh answered, "Neither."

"If not, why don't you take it off when you sleep? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Raeleigh felt Jepherson's hands caressing her.

She grabbed his hands to stop him from continuing and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. Wait for me."

Then, she fumbled around to grab some clothes to change. Instead of changing in the room, she decided to head outside. Jepherson waited for half an hour, but she had yet to come back. After getting up to look for her, he saw her sleeping on the sofa with a pillow in her arms.

Jepherson walked over and sat by Raeleigh's feet carefully. Since she didn't return to the room, he had no plans to do so either. He just sat by the sofa and fell asleep by Raeleigh's feet.

When Lamar and Jazelle woke up in the morning, they were all surprised to witness such a scene.

"Let's go," Not wanting to disturb the two of them, Jazelle dragged Lamar away to buy some breakfast.

When Raeleigh woke up, she heard the sounds of knocking. Although she was asleep, she did not respond much to whoever was talking or walking by. However, the minute someone started knocking on the doors and windows, she was immediately startled awake.

Jepherson was shocked by the sudden movement and opened his eyes. He watched as Raeleigh sat straight up and was about to bolt for the day, only to suddenly sit down. It was as if she was just reminded that she was safe at home.

"What are you afraid of?" Jepherson asked as Raeleigh sat down. Raeleigh looked at him in a daze. Then, she asked in confusion, "Why are you here too?"

"I came out because you didn't go back in," Jepherson couldn't hide his worry, "Are you not used to the feeling of being at home?"

Raeleigh shook her head and denied, "No."

Jepherson did not say a word. Just then, the door opened, revealing Lamar and Jazelle who had breakfast in their hands. Jepherson immediately got up to the door and helped them with the food. Glancing at the takeaways in hand, he attempted to lighten the mood, "It's your favourite."

When he looked up, Raeleigh had already gone back to her room.

Jepherson set the breakfast on the table and went back to the room to check on Raeleigh. Yet, he found the door was already locked, and no matter how he turned the doorknob, the door just wouldn't open.

Jepherson stood outside for a while before turning around to meet Jazelle. He tried to give an excuse, "She might have accidentally locked it."

Yet deep down, they knew it wasn't an accident. It was obvious she had locked it on purpose.

Despite the obvious move, the two of them said nothing. Jazelle went to set the kitchen table while Lamar went to prepare breakfast.

When Raeleigh emerged from the room, Jepherson had finished washing up in the toilet. After getting a change of clothes, Raeleigh suggested, "Let's have breakfast."

Jepherson walked up to Raeleigh and lowered his head to kiss her. However, she dodged his kiss instinctively.

As Jepherson was dumbstruck, Raeleigh changed the topic rigidly, "Let's have breakfast."

She walked past him and took her seat at the table. Jepherson's gaze followed her around as she sat down and greeted everyone. Everyone pretended as if nothing had happened, but no one could ignore the tension.

Jepherson walked over to sit at the table. He didn't change his clothes and was wearing the same outfit he had worn the previous night. Once he sat down, he started to devour his meal.

No one spoke during the breakfast until they had finished their meal.
