Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1798

Raeleigh looked contemplative. "How would I know?"

Jepherson turned it over in his mind. He then unbuttoned his clothes. Once the outerwear had been taken off, he started on what he wore inside, though the pullover was a little troublesome to take off.

Raeleigh scooted away from him. "What are you doing?"

"Hm." Jepherson quickly took off all his clothes. As the room was very warm, it was fine even if he bared himself. Raeleigh continued to back away and hid herself underneath the blanket. Jepherson tore it away, removed her pants and proceeded to squeeze her in between the couch and himself. He then lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers.

With her arm wrapped around him and Jepherson tangled with her with no questions asked, Raeleigh was unquestionably conflicted.

By the time Deanna came over and knocked on their door, Jepherson had just separated from her as Raeleigh was left panting.

He put his clothes back on, then helped Raeleigh out with hers. Only after they were properly dressed, did he go to open the door.

Deanna looked around for Raeleigh the moment she entered through the door.

"Where is Raeleigh? Why did it take you so long to open the door?"

Jepherson stood aside while he glanced at Jacky from the corner of his eye. "Did something happen so early in the morning?"

"It's 10 o'clock." Jacky deadpanned as he came in, the late hour being implied in his tone.

Jepherson closed the door and looked towards the living room. When he discovered that Raeleigh wasn't there, the door to the bathroom downstairs had just closed. His face turned sullen. With a few quick strides - faster than Deanna's - he knocked on the door, a signal for Raeleigh to open it. However, silence greeted him from inside.

"Did you both quarrel again?" Deanna asked from beside him with Jacky behind her.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back first. I'm going to take a bath."

Jepherson walked towards the entrance and opened the door with the obvious hint to send them away. Deanna didn't get it though, and reassured him, "You can take your bath. I'll wait outside here."

"Leave."

Jepherson's complexion turned dark. Was it appropriate for him to take a shower while she waited outside?

"I have something to discuss with Raeleigh." Deanna insisted.

Jepherson finally threw away all sense of courtesy and ordered them to leave.

It was only then that Jacky moved to drag Deanna out of the house. After they had left, Jepherson knocked on the door again and called for Raeleigh to open the door.

After an unknown amount of time, Jepherson unlocked the door and entered. He saw that Raeleigh was soaking in the bathtub and proceeded to scoop her out of it.

"You can't soak yourself with your wound like this." he chided as he carried her out, water being dripped all over the floor. Afterwards, he put her down and used a towel to carefully rub her dry.

After that, Raeleigh went to the couch and sat on it in her birthday suit, not even one stitch of clothing on her. Jepherson quickly took a woolen blanket and wrapped her up good before he turned and fed her ginger soup.

She drank the unpleasant ginger soup and sweated out at the same time. Once her sweat oozed out considerably from her pores, she brought her wrapped up self up the stairs to rest. From start to finish, she acted as if nothing had happened.

Jepherson tidied up the house. When it was already two in the afternoon, he had someone send some ingredients over as he needed to prepare a meal.

When Raeleigh woke up, the dishes were already ready. As it was only the two of them, not many dishes were prepared. With just two dishes plus some soup, it was enough.

Throughout the meal, Raeleigh ate with a poker face without even a single glance his way. On the other hand, Jepherson ate while he helped her pick out the fish bones.

Raeleigh wasn't a picky eater. She ate whatever was set on the table, with no interest in what's on the plate.

After their meal, Jepherson cleaned up while Raeleigh watched television and played some games from the couch. That was how that day was usually spent for the last two months as Jepherson waited on her hand and foot.

Raeleigh put down her phone and rubbed her eyes. She looked towards Jepherson who had just finished his cleanup.

"Why did you make the room shine so? You don't have to tidy up everyday, once a week is enough."

"Oh, you weren't going to plant bean sprouts?" Jepherson muttered with a sulky look towards her. She was so troublesome. It wouldn't surprise him if she had actually remarked it was dirty enough to plant a garden.

Raeleigh pondered in the meanwhile and asked, "It's going to be New Years soon. Aren't you going home?"

"Isn't this home?"

Raeleigh smiled after a thought but said nothing.

Jepherson leaned against her shoulder. "Is it to go back for the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve?"
