Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1639

Raeleigh looked up at Jepherson in shock. At first, she didn't understand, but soon she realized that Jepherson did it on purpose.

True enough...

"So it turns out trust can fade away?"

Jepherson pushed the dining car aside, turned on his heel and headed for the door as he spoke, "I remember it wasn't like this before."

Raeleigh straightened up and stared at Jepherson's retreating back. She didn't point out that even her trust towards someone had a time limit. To say nothing of the fact that he kept testing them repeatedly, even a strong- willed person would buckle underneath the pressure and their trust for him would erode away.

Jepherson stepped out of the room and leaned against the wall outside to wait for Raeleigh. It was a first for Stuart to see Jepherson like this. He didn't kick up a fuss, neither did he vent out his temper. He looked as if his soul had been spirited away, and now all that's left was a terrifying, lonely shell; a shadow of his former self.

Stuart tactfully hid in one corner while Jepherson waited for Raeleigh outside by the door all by his lonesome. His head was tilted back against the wall, with his hands behind his back when Raeleigh eventually came out.

Raeleigh didn't expect not to find anyone outside the moment she pushed open the door. The first person she was going to look for was Stuart. She looked around but found no sign of his presence when her eyes landed on Jepherson who had been standing at the side. A chill momentarily suffused through her whole body.

But then she took note of his chalk white face, as if he had suffered an incurable disease and was now all pale and wan.

An entire body filled with vicissitudes of life could only bring innumerable sadness.

Raeleigh stood there and waited for Jepherson to open his eyes. However, instead of doing so, he reached out a hand and proceeded to pull Raeleigh into his arms. "I'm curious, why is there only my scent on your body to this date?"

Raeleigh froze. Could something like this even be sensed?

"Sometimes I'm in a good mood." she replied.

Jepherson broke out into a smile and stroked Raeleigh's back. "Have you ever thought about visiting Lamarre?"

Raeleigh was a little surprised to hear Lamarre's name. She pushed away from Jepherson then, who added seriously, "If you want to see Lamarre, you must accompany me."

"You can't do this."

"Then what should I do?" Jepherson retorted. Raeleigh calmed down and stood there looking at the mulish man in front of her. "Give me back my phone and wallet. I not only need to spend money, but also contact my family."

"You don't need these two things when you're with me. Even if you need them, there's still me."

Jepherson gave his own mobile phone to Raeleigh. She took it and dialled Xanthus's number who picked up at the first ring.

"Jepherson..."

"Brother, it's me."

"Raeleigh." When he heard her voice, Xanthus turbulent emotions calmed a little.

"Brother, I'm very safe now. Jepherson and I are talking things over about Cynthia. He already promised to release her, but there are still some things to discuss."

Raeleigh peeked over at Jepherson, then trekked further away from him when she made her call. She caught sight of the lavatory sign and pushed the door open to head inside.

"Raeleigh, you tell him, whatever matters he has, he can take it up with me."

"Brother, you shouldn't stress yourself on this. This matter isn't that serious. Even though Jepherson is somewhat unscrupulous, he is very clear on what the hidden principle of this matter is. He won't hurt Cynthia. No matter whether it's for my sake, or for Santiago's sake.

I feel that Cynthia hasn't been brought out, moreover, she is with Jared and you know Jared. For that reason, take this time to look for her while

I hold him back."

"But you..."
