Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1638

They couldn't find her no matter where they looked. It wasn't until her parents mentioned that Jepherson came by that it dawned on her as to why Cynthia had disappeared.

Xanthus didn't want her to go, but if she did not come in person, Jepherson wouldn't release her. She had to compromise.

She travelled back directly from abroad without rest and even concealed this matter from Xanthus.

Raeleigh shut her eyes. In truth, all that happened had always foreshadowed this moment. She was just too careless this time.

Bit by bit, the room grew quiet. Whether it be Raeleigh or Jepherson, only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

Occasionally, Raeleigh could hear the wind from outside and knew the sound to be that of the wind hitting against the windowpane.

Therefore, she was not worried. She was more worried as to when the people around her would come back and cling to her again.

With that notion stuck in her mind, Raeleigh didn't sleep for the rest of the night. When dawn broke

on the horizon, Jepherson's body shifted a little and she woke up immediately.

Her body wound up as tight as a string, afraid that he would do something again.

But she only felt the bed dipped down behind her, followed by the sound of Jepherson getting up and heading for the bathroom to change.

Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the door being closed and turned around.

She still remembered that Jepherson liked to play sports. The first time she came here, she remembered Jepherson carrying a bag of sports equipment.

Deep in her thoughts, she didn't move her gaze away from the door until Jepherson stepped out from the bathroom. When he saw she was awake, he paused. He had changed his pants, but the shirt looked like the one he wore the previous day. Raeleigh knew, nonetheless, that Jepherson wouldn't change one thing and not the other.

As he was smoothening the wrinkles from his shirt, Jepherson ambled up to Raeleigh's side and said, "Help me take the label tag off."

Raeleigh initially didn't want to move, but when she saw the label dangling down Jepherson's chest, Raeleigh finally got up. She circled around, straightening her own clothes as she went up to

Jepherson's front and snapped off the tag.

Just as she was about to retreat, Jepherson grasped her hand. She raised her head in askance and he explained, "I'll be going to work in a while, come with me."

"When on earth will you set Cynthia free?" Raeleigh's patience was nearly at its limit. If the person in front of her wasn't Jepherson himself, she would have lost her temper a long time ago.

"When I'll let her go depends on your cooperation. Of course, you can decide not to." Jepherson walked away from her and towards the door with a phone in hand. After he ordered breakfast, he went to finish his morning routine and came out dressed in another shirt.

Raeleigh had stood to one side by then and eyed Jepherson warily. She took the chance when he was otherwise occupied to freshen herself up.

When Jepherson called out to her, she was a little stunned. Would he make such a trivial mistake?

Raeleigh hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Jepherson. She stopped and helped to take out the label again like she did for him earlier

This time around, Jepherson didn't do anything further. He just sat down on the sofa and patted the seat beside him, a silent invitation for Raeleigh to come over. It was only then she realized that her handbag was gone.

"Where is my bag?" Raeleigh stood where she was and questioned him. This wasn't an interrogation. She just wanted to know why her handbag was missing.

Jepherson didn't answer. He simply said, "I'll be going to the company later, are you coming along or not?

"Jepherson..."

Jepherson didn't speak, but the emotions on his face gradually froze over.
