Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1757

Everyone looked towards Jared as he was chased out by Jepherson, whose face had turned harsh.

Stuart saw the whole scene and quickly went after Jared.

"What are you doing?"

Although Stuart and Jared were both brought in by Alvin, the two of them seldom mingle together. They didn't see much of each other even when they were young. Other than the fact that they weren't in the same cliques, Jared loved to play with Santiago more back then.

Despite that, they still retained a pretty good relationship.

Alvin said once before, to treat Jared as a brother.

Therefore, Stuart would not leave Jared alone.

Jared did not respond to his query, he just stood there with his gaze focused on the scenery outside.

Stuart also felt impressed at this point. Why was it that people who interacted with Raeleigh all got turned around by her?

"Don't go down the same path as Mr. Santiago. You should know, in Mr. Jepherson's eyes, that there are no two Mr. Santiagos. Our identities, when all is said and done, are different. Besides, if even Mr. Jepherson couldn't be a twinkle in Raeleigh's eyes, what about you?"

"It's none of your business. I just don't like Austin. When I see him, I'll kill him." Jared muttered.

"Don't simply say kill as you please. Otherwise, there will come a day when it will be your turn."

Stuart turned back after he had said his piece. It was pointless to continue when their words couldn't get through.

Jared stood there for a little longer before he stalked away someplace else and disappeared into the shadows within a blink of an eye.

Raeleigh had sat in the room for quite a while. She didn't want to mention the elephant in the room, yet neither could she talk about it.

"I'm going to pack up. Brother, come with me please."

Raeleigh stood and headed upstairs. Xanthus followed in her wake with the intention to talk over her departure. When they were inside Raeleigh's room, Xanthus immediately voiced his disagreement on her leaving. However, Raeleigh just stared at him without any other reaction. A few minutes later, Xanthus eventually relented, "Be careful."

Raeleigh wore a beaming smile, "My brother is still the most sensible."

"Hmph, do you want to mess with me for the rest of my life?"

"If I can use this to mess with my brother for a lifetime, doesn't that mean that we will all live to a hundred years old?"

Raeleigh walked towards Xanthus, who felt begrudged and said, "I can't accompany you this time. Maverly is already..."

"She's yours now?" Xanthus couldn't say it, hence Raeleigh helped him finish it.

"Maverly and I have a ten years age gap. I can't just ignore her. Her father may not approve of us, therefore I have to stay and accompany her until her father comes back. I need to explain this to him."

"I know, or I wouldn't have planned to let you go. Let me handle all these matters. Once I get there, I will think of ways to protect myself. Don't worry."

After the brother and sister pair had their talk, Raeleigh began to pack up. Xanthus didn't rest much as he stayed up the whole night to accompany her. When it became late, Jepherson went to Raeleigh's room and knocked on her door. Xanthus only then returned to his room and took

Maverly with him.
