Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1799

Deanna stared at Raeleigh blankly, all because of the sentence that she just uttered. It was soon going to be another year as the old year passed and Deanna was extremely, absolutely unwilling to leave Raeleigh's home. However, it's already past midnight and she couldn't not outstayed her welcome here.

Deanna mulled over it for a long time. In the end, she still followed Jacky back, but not without a lot of nagging.

As for Jacky, he didn't take it to heart. As long as the children were safe, it didn't matter wherever he went.

As parents, they hoped for nothing more than this.

However, Deanna had already taken this matter as something to be remembered, and inevitably put it on the agenda. She didn't handle it the previous year, hence this time on the second day after the New Year, Deanna went to seek out Raeleigh. Before Raeleigh could even fully wake up from her sleep, it reached their ears that Deanna was waiting downstairs. Jepherson kneaded his brows and got down from Raeleigh's body.

The front door was locked. How did Deanna get in? They had locked the door outside. Between the upper floor area and the living room were stairs, and when one climbed up, they would reach the landing area. There was no bed, but there was bedding prepared on the floor. Deanna went straight up without so much as a by your leave and proceeded to watch a reality show.

Jepherson indeed had a habit in the mornings that he would only get up if there's business that needs to be handled. He didn't expect Deanna to take advantage of that fact.

His face was grumpy as he got up just as Raeleigh put down her phone. It was Deanna who called earlier. If she didn't and the both of them would be in the middle of doing it when she came up...

Jepherson's face darkened even further. He put on his clothes and walked down the stairs. He saw Deanna and Jacky first as they stood downstairs. Jacky had been on holiday for the last few days during the New Year and was basically holed up inside Waverly Village. Deanna had long gotten used to village life. During the New Year, Zorion called to request her to come home. She did so, had her meal there, and then came back. She was offered to stay but she declined as she can't stand to be seen by someone so intoxicated with their success.

Everyone knew that person she was talking about was Rossie. Rayan didn't bother over this matter and Deanna made no further comment over it. Her home had now become someone else's home. This was what they called a dove taking over a magpie's nest. She just did not want to stay.

Since she didn't plan to stay or return anytime soon, thoughts about the children took precedence in her mind all the time. She was extremely curious as to how Raeleigh had been able to keep the children so well hidden. Even when the Whalen family conducted a secret search for them, they couldn't find hide nor hair of them.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning? How did you both get in? Didn't I lock the door last night?" Jepherson's face was taut with displeasure.

Jacky glanced at the door and placed down a key that was in his hand. "I picked it up on the floor near the door yesterday and just happened to bring it back. Based on the keychain, it belongs to your house."

Jepherson lowered his eyes and looked at the key on the coffee table. Indeed, it was his. Raeleigh had bought it at the Waverly Village's market. It came in pairs and was originally kept by Raeleigh herself. He removed one for each of them, then tied a key to it as a backup plan should Raeleigh decide to turn him away.

He didn't expect for it to be swiped by Deanna. This little girl was able to steal things when she was young, who knew even now as an adult she still loved to do this sort of thing.

Jepherson's eyes darkened. "I don't know which itchy fingers took it away. Should I catch them, I will chop them all off."

Deanna disagreed, she would love not to be chopped.

"Where is Raeleigh? It's already afternoon and she still hasn't got up?" Deanna looked upwards, as if she wanted to go up. Jepherson immediately blocked the way to the stairs and glared at Deanna. He had no plans to move from this spot. "The weather is cold. Raeleigh is not used to it. She will get up after a while. You can come back in the afternoon."

"At noon? Raeleigh and I already made arrangements to talk about Cedric and Heitor after New Year's Day. Why do I need to come back in the afternoon? I don't care. Let me see Raeleigh, or I won't leave." Deanna didn't care to eat and plopped herself onto the couch.

So long as Raeleigh doesn't show up, she would not budge.

Jepherson didn't really mind. He glanced at Jacky before he turned and walked up the stairs. He was unconcerned about Deanna's refusal to leave.

When he returned, Raeleigh had gone back to sleep. It was really cold outside, hence she didn't intend to get up from her warm bed. Jepherson sat cross-legged by Raeleigh's side.

He then shook Raeleigh's shoulder and asked, "Where did you send the children to? Since Deanna wants to find them, then it's best to return them. Otherwise, she will come to make trouble and make it difficult to get some sleep."

Raeleigh closed her eyes as if unconcerned about the matter. She continued to sleep as if she had heard nothing.
