Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1784

Jepherson emerged from Santiago's room the next morning, but she didn't come out with him.

Deanna stared at Santiago's room from downstairs and recalled Raeleigh spent the night there, but how was it that Jepherson came out from that room too? Had Raeleigh retreated to her room?

"Jepherson, where's Raeleigh?"

Only Deanna Whalen would be idiotic enough to ask boldly what no one would. Jepherson inadvertently glanced at her and said, "Raeleigh's still sleeping; she's tired. I've contacted some neurology experts; they'll come over in a few days. Please help me entertain them. I need to leave for a meeting."

"You're leaving for a meeting? How do you still have the mood to do that? Aren't you supposed to go to the Doyle family? Zorion said Capital City has been in a state of chaos lately. A lot of people from far and wide are gathering here. They're probably here to come at you, so..."

"Come at me?"

No sooner had Jepherson quirked his eyebrows than Deanna clarified, "Okay, okay, not you but us.

They probably came because of what Raeleigh did; she's knee-deep in trouble now."

"She's in trouble? I wouldn't be so sure. We wouldn't have done anything if they didn't start the fire. The fault's not on us; if they hadn't crossed the line, Raeleigh wouldn't have taken action. I haven't even given them a piece of my mind." Jepherson had already changed when he came down. As he was leaving, he asked Hadrian to bring his coat over. Hadrian and Scarlett didn't follow Jepherson this trip out. Curious, Deanna asked them where Jepherson was heading only to learn it was the government office, which baffled Deanna, asking Scarlette, "What for?"

"It's said that the government is holding a representative meeting. Crevor was one of them. Now that he's dead, it's natural for them to be gathered to discuss the matter. Among them are Mr. Jepherson, Jacky, Zorion, and Colston."

With that, Scarlette walked away. Deanna turned to her parents and asked, "Mom, Dad, why am I not on the list?"

Speechless at his daughter's question, Rayan retorted, "Did you apply for it?"

"I need to apply for it?" Deanna sat down and asked. Rayan said, "Not entirely. Some were selected because of their outstanding performances in their respective businesses. You won't get it if I go deeper. Cedric and Heitor are coming; watch after your kids and don't let them run around as they please. This is the Richards Group Manor; it won't do good if they get themselves into trouble."

"But I won't be able to look after them and Raeleigh at the same time. Or... we can ask Scarlette to lend me a hand."

With that said, Deanna turned to look at Scarlette, who had headed upstairs. Hurriedly, Scarlette rejected, "Oh, no, don't look at me; I'm not good with kids."

And she walked away. Deanna then sullenly went to the gates to wait for her children. Rossie stood up, wanting to follow her out, but Deanna said, "Don't even bother. I don't like you following me. I can't believe my dad lectured me yesterday, but you're completely fine."

Rossie, on the other hand, wasn't upset at Deanna's rant, staring at her. She missed the twins as well after a few days of separation.

Deanna waited for two hours, but the twins still hadn't shown up. Growing anxious, she called the chauffeur.

Seeing that the call wasn't answered, Rossie's face turned grim and headed outside, Deanna following right behind. Seeing the streets empty,

Rossie immediately called Rayan.

Rayan found it odd as well, but he didn't put too much thought into it. It had been so long, after all, he was certain no one would try to offend the Whalen family.

"What's the matter?"

"The twins are missing; they're nowhere near in sight. We also can't get through to the chauffeur."

Taking a breather, Rayan felt a dull pain in his head and rubbed his temple. "Lome back first."
