Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1706

The sky had already grown dark as Austin turned and went down the watchtower, escorted by the people behind him back into the prison.

When Jepherson arrived at the hotel's entrance, he opened his eyes and got out of the car. He then looked at Stuart and said, "Today is your wedding day. I will attend the ceremony and leave later that afternoon. You have to take care of things here the day after your marriage."

"Understood, Mr. Jepherson."

"Good."

Jepherson turned to head in while Stuart made preparations for his big day.

Raeleigh disembarked from the plane. No sooner had she walked out the airplane's door, she caught sight of Jared who had stood in wait at the airport. Raeleigh paused then scanned the surrounding area. Jared was dressed in black outfit over a light-colored shirt. The moment he saw Raeleigh, he took his hands out of his pockets and strode over towards her.

Then when he was in front of her, he bent down and took the luggage from her hand.

"Why are you here? Weren't you on your way back?" Raeleigh asked in surprise.

"I was ordered to stick close to you and protect you. I don't know anything else so stop asking. Let's go."

Jared turned around with Raeleigh's purse in his hand, hence she had no choice but to follow.

After they left the airport, Raeleigh sat in Jared's car as he drove her to the manor.

"I will give Jepherson a call. You can go back now, I'm good here."

On the way, Raeleigh tried to persuade Jared to leave. Jared only spared her a look and said, "That's your business. It goes without saying that I will leave once you and Jepherson talked things out. There's no need to ask me then."

Raeleigh was dumbstruck. She lowered her head down to her hand. Jared asked when he saw the focus of her gaze, "You were injured?"

"It's none of your business."

Since their talk had turned sour, it was better not to say anything further.

Jared laughed. "Is this how you are as a woman? No wonder you're injured."

Raeleigh remained silent. She had nothing more to say to such a person.

When they arrived at their destination, Raeleigh got out of the car and walked up to the front door. Xanthus, who was just about to head out, was surprised to see her and stepped out.

"Raeleigh..."

"Brother."

Raeleigh had not notified him of her return as she was afraid that she would be met with mishap on her way back. Therefore, she had planned to return this way but she still couldn't avoid this twist of fate.

For example, Jared.

"Why didn't you call me when you came back?" Xanthus berated her as he came out. Raeleigh cast a glance in Jared's direction, and it was only then Xanthus noticed his presence.

But something wasn't right with the gaze he fixed on Jared and he did not say anything for a long while. When Raeleigh went into the manor, Jared's way was impeded by Xanthus. Raeleigh turned back after a few steps and watched the mini war going on behind her.

"Give me the luggage." Xanthus said with obvious belligerence towards Jared .

"I am not here to see Cynthia. I am here to protect Raeleigh. Don't think I am..."

Xanthus did not wait for the rest of his words to snap his hand out and make a grab for her luggage. Raeleigh understood somewhat of what was going on and walked back towards Jared. With a turn of her body, she asked, "Don't tell me that you are saying all this to make things embarrassing for my brother?"

Raeleigh was not a fool. She knew clearly what Jared had tried to imply with his words to indicate what happened between him and Cynthia.
