Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1654

Emerging from the car, Raeleigh followed behind Jepherson into the hotel. She was surprised he even knew which room to go to.

Following him into the room, Raeleigh looked around and asked Jepherson, confused, "Why did you bring me here?"

Jepherson walked to the side and drew the decorative curtains used to cover the wall. Behind it was surveillance footage of the room across them, where they could see several parts of the room.

Stuart was giving Lucy a cold shower.

"Lucy, Lucy..."

Raeleigh could even hear their conversation. Lucy was drenched, finally regaining a little bit of consciousness in the water.

Opening her eyes, she looked at Stuart and placed his hand on her face. "I'm burning; how?"

Stuart inquired, "Why had you gone drinking?"

"The manager asked me to."

Lucy transferred to the training center as an assistant; she had to follow the manager's orders.

Stuart's face fell. "How dare he touch you!" Holding Stuart's hand, Lucy caressed it against her face gently to alleviate her suffering. She was burning up...

As Stuart bent down to carry Lucy out, she tugged on him, pulling him into the bathtub with her.

They were fine, but Lucy scrambled on top of Stuart. His instinctive reaction was to get up, but he ended up embracing her.

"Lucy..."

Stuart called out to Lucy, who merely sat fixing her eyes on him in silence as she removed her clothes and kissed him on the face. Stuart gave her a push but to no avail. He then hugged her and flipped over.

They were in the presidential suite, so they had everything they needed there. Even the bathtub was specially designed to fit the aesthetic; it was large enough for a swim, let alone two people.

Seeing the two share an intimate moment, the flames igniting with just one spark, Raeleigh didn't know what to say. Perhaps Jepherson was clear that Stuart had been deeply in love with Lucy over the past two years, just that he found it hard to express himself.

So Jepherson gave them a push. Otherwise, with Stuart's temper, he wouldn't tap into that amorous alter ego.

Technically speaking, Stuart shouldn't have known what was going on with Lucy after she was transferred to the training center, so how did he know?

The only possible explanation was that Stuart had arranged people to keep an eye on Lucy.

So he would know right away if she was in danger.

If he had not fallen in love with her, he would not have been so unwilling to part with her.

Stuart suddenly got up from the bathtub and stripped off his shirt. Lucy leaned back and looked at his face before she removed what was left on her as well. Seeing that, Raeleigh covered Jepherson's eyes with her hand and drew the curtains before moving them away.

Amused, Jepherson chuckled under his breath. "You scared?"

"Lucy is!"

Only then did Raeleigh check out the facilities in the room before sitting back down. They hadn't eaten yet.

"What are we having for dinner?"

"You don't want to leave?"

"I think you should remove the surveillance cameras here first, lest you leave evidence."

Raeleigh waited as Jepherson called to have their dinner brought up. They rested after their meal. Staring at the red curtains, Raeleigh thought of the sensual scene in the bathroom and took out Lamarre's sketch that she brought with her and wrote down the word love.

Sitting aside, Jepherson looked over, his gaze downcasted, amused, "Is that your name for the car?"

While sketching, Raeleigh answered, "I think I have an idea what Lamarre wanted to leave behind."

Raeleigh recalled Lamarre's poignant relationship and thought the legacy he wanted her to lengthen was love and resolve.

Perhaps Stuart and Lucy's relationship was the epitome of it.
