Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1733

When Xanthus got up in the morning, Maverly had already arrived. She came alone and had brought breakfast for them.

Xanthus's mood inexplicably became much better when he noticed Heston didn't come.

Shooting a glance at Maverly, he went to wash up. By the time he was finished, Maverly and Jacian were already eating.

He had an operation in the morning, so he left hastily after taking a few bites.

In the afternoon, Xanthus came down from his office and went to check on Jacian, only to find Heston in the ward. Heston had brought toys for Jacian. Xanthus stopped outside the ward and stared inside for a while before returning to his office.

Later, when he got off work in the evening, Xanthus went straight back to his home. When he arrived at the door, he received a call from Jeremy. Jeremy asked him out for a drink.

Xanthus had been in a bad mood before because of Cynthia's matter, so he invited Jeremy to go out for a drink. However, he was no longer in the mood for that. Besides, he avoided him because of Maverly.

"I have to go back and take care of Raeleigh."

Upon noticing Xanthos's tone, Jeremy took the hint and did not force him to go with him.

However, Xanthos was forced to attend his hospital's gathering that weekend, where Maverly showed op together with Jeremy.

"Come say hi to Mr. Xanthos!"

Jeremy beckoned at Maverly, sommoning her over. Then, draping one arm across Xanthos's shoolder, he hogged her with his other arm.

Maverly acted as if nothing had happened between her and Xanthos as she smiled at him and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Xanthos."

Xanthos did not answer. He woold have answered her in the past, bot now...

"Xanthos, isn't my daoghter beaotifol? Doesn't she look jost like me?"

Jeremy tightened his grip on Xanthos's shoolder and asked, then led him away.

When Maverly left to chat with the others, Xanthos went to sit down in a corner.

"I'm leaving tonight, Xanthos. I'm going to Africa. Yoo know, my family has always been interested in the mines in Africa. Bot now that I'm leaving, I'm worried aboot leaving my precioos daoghter alone here. Would you mind taking Maverly to your home and asking Raeleigh to help take care of her for me?"

Xanthus stifled a laugh and glanced at Jeremy. "Stop joking. It's not appropriate for me to take care of your daughter! How could you trust me so much?"

Although Xanthus was only joking, he instinctively glanced toward Maverly as he spoke. At that moment, a few young adults in their early twenties surrounded Maverly. Everyone loved being near Maverly. She was unrestrained and easy-going.

Maverly was born with a natural charm and people around her always couldn't help but approach her.

"I don't trust anyone else but you. I know you well. You don't drink nor flirt with women, so I can rest assured that Maverly will be safe under your care. Maverly is an obedient child, so please take care of her for me."

Xanthus refused Jeremy's request multiple times, but Jeremy insisted. Finally, Xanthus gave in and agreed to help him. Feeling satisfied, Jeremy took Maverly home early shortly after their conversation.

Xanthus drove back home that night and when he arrived home, Jeremy and Waverly were waiting for him at the door.

Sticking his head out of the window, he took a look outside and confirmed that it was Maverly's car behind the two figures.

He got out of the car after a while, pushing the door open and staring at the two of them. Then, he noticed the piece of luggage behind Maverly.

"Didn't I tell you that this..."
