Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1749

By the time Maverly arrived at the hospital, Raeleigh had received a text message from Ariana reporting about the day before. The text informed her she had successfully captivated Heston and that he invited her to a movie night. Ariana was contemplating accepting his invitation and wanted to seek Raeleigh's advice.

Raeleigh told her that she could go as long as there was someone to look after Jacian.

Just as Ariana was thinking who could stand in for her, Maverly entered Jacian's ward.

Jacian rejoiced at seeing Maverly. On the other hand, Ariana pondered on it and thought Maverly was perfect; she could leave if Maverly stayed.

Maverly agreed to it, but Xanthus expressed his disapproval when she told him in a call that afternoon.

"I need to write an academic draft tonight, and I'll need peace and quiet. I can't do it in the hospital."

"Then go back. I've to stay here, as it happens."

At first, Maverly did not grasp Xanthus's subtle indication. She thought if he wanted to write a thesis, he could just do it after he got home.

To her dismay, Xanthus said, "I want to go to your place."

"What?"

"But, I've already promised."

"Then tell her it's inappropriate for her to take a day off despite having worked for only one day. Who is she going to the movies with?"

"Heston, I think."

Maverly blinked, wondering how they ended up being a couple.

Maverly was rendered at sixes and sevens. Xanthus hung up after a few words, leaving her in stupefaction; she hadn't agreed to anything he said yet.

Befuddled, Maverly went back to look for Ariana, making herself clear that it was not that she was unwilling to stay and look after Jacian, but she had other commitments that accounted for her incapability of fulfilling her promise.

Even though it sounded absurd, the fact that Xanthus was going to her home was immutable.

Ariana was a little disappointed. She called Heston and notified him she couldn't go anymore but didn't say why when he pressed on.

After Xanthus got off work, he went to Jacian's ward to look for Maverly, who then said goodbye to Jacian and followed Xanthus out.

At the main entrance, Maverly saw Heston's car parked at the hospital, and he was making his way inside after emerging from it.

It struck Maverly as odd, and her curiosity got the better of her.

"What's going on?"

"What do you mean?"

Xanthus stood behind her with his gaze fixed on her. He was exhausted and wanted to rest as soon as possible.

Maverly, on the other hand, felt no such inclination.

Perhaps it was due to the age gap they had.

"I'll go and take a look."

After saying that, Maverly left to sate her curiosity.

On the other hand, Xanthus stood rooted to the spot for a couple of seconds before he pulled out his car key. While sitting in his car, warming up the engine, he fell asleep.

Maverly followed Heston into the hospital and hid instantaneously as she reached Jacian's ward. She saw Heston gazing at Ariana, who was sitting outside.

Ariana explained something to him, which led him to ask, "Are you serious?"

"Sort of."
