Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1718

Sitting on the bed, Raeleigh stared in disbelief as Callis peeled the synthetic skin away little by little.

Raeleigh wasn't oblivious to how advanced technology had gotten, but she didn't think it was advanced enough to turn one person into another.

Her face paled as she witnessed Callis turning into Jepherson and being presented a translucent sheet.

Jepherson then slowly raised his head and pressed one hand down on his hair while combing through it with the other, dusting out some white and black powder-like stuff.

Just like that, Callis turned into Jepherson Richards.

Gobsmacked, Raeleigh said, "You're not Jepherson."

Jepherson chewed his teeth, sat down next to her, and stared at her face as he asked, "Where's my daughter?"

Raeleigh pressed her lips. "She's not your daughter, but Austin's."

"Please let me see her."

Jepherson held her good hand, pleading as he had

never before.

Raeleigh tried to yank her hand back but failed.

Relaxing, Jepherson let go and caressed her face and lips. Raeleigh frowned deeply, her head all a mess. Baffled at what had just happened, she only wanted to leave, holding his hand on her face, mumbling, "You're giving me a headache."

Jepherson lowered his head and kissed her. With his low, husky voice, he whispered in Raeleigh's ear, "I want to get inside you."

Stumped, Raeleigh tried to leave, but she didn't dare to move with one injured hand, staring at Jepherson's face in shock.

"You've gone too far, Jepherson. You- mm..."

Before she could finish her words, her voice was muffled under the attack of his lips. Before she could react, her brain had turned into mush.

Raeleigh woke up with only a piece of clothing covering her body. As she had lit the stove earlier, she didn't feel cold.

Raeleigh sat up from the bed and stared at Jepherson, who was wearing only a white dress shirt. He was looking at his phone, and sensing she was awake, he said nothing but continued to scroll through his phone, reading something.

Wrapping herself with the piece of clothing, she sat staring at Jepherson for a long time before she said, "That isn't her in the photo."

"You would never lie, and you would never have deigned to lie. But you're spinning lies out of your lips like it's nothing now."

Jepherson kept his phone away and stood up, heading outside while Raeleigh continued to stay in bed. He then returned with a thick coat and swaddled her before he put the fire out and left carrying her in his arms.

On their way back, Raeleigh stared at Jepherson and asked, "So you lied to me from the beginning?"

"So did you," Jepherson said as he walked.

His voice was so light that Raeleigh couldn't tell what he was thinking, or whether he was angry.

Entering the main part of the manor, he took her straight into her room and placed her on the bed before he went back to close the door. He then went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of water to soak her hands in it. Raeleigh looked at him and said, "I don't have a child."

Jepherson looked down at her hands in the water and caressed them, saying, "You don't need to deny it. But I'll believe you if you can tell me where you have gone these last few times you ditched me."

"I'll take you there tomorrow."
