Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1831

Throughout the dinner, Jepherson sat at one side and stared at Forden. Raeleigh kept an eye on the children while Santiago was drinking beer with Jacky.

After a while, Shaney walked over to Jepherson's side and sat down.

Jepherson looked at Shaney. "What's the matter?"

"Are you alright?" Shaney looked at Jepherson. "I'm all grown up now. Why do you look sad?"

"Do I?"

"Yes, you barely said a word the entire night. Don't you dream about seeing me? Why do you still look sad now that I'm here?"

There was a moment of silence before Jepherson said, "Forden..."

"Mom was pregnant when she left and we found out soon after. Then, she gave birth to Forden."

Jepherson's hands trembled, not daring to look at Forden.

"She did not lie to me."

Shaney said, "But they are not together. You'll forever be my father. Don't you want to get back together with mom?"

Jepherson looked at her daughter and asked, "Are you planning on staying this time?"

Shaney thought for a moment. "I love hanging out with Uncle Santiago. He said that he wants to go somewhere even further next time. I'm planning on following him."

"Is the outside world much better than being at home?"

Jepherson's heart was in a mess.

This night was like a nightmare. Jepherson did not want to enter the house. He spent the entire night outside and Shaney accompanied him. She pulled the quilt over her body and leaned against her father. Jepherson hugged Shaney and did not close his eyes for the whole night.

Raeleigh woke up the next morning and went downstairs. Santiago was already awake at this time. Forden slept with his mother.

Forden would always prefer to sleep with his mother when he was at home and if he was not home, he would sleep with Santiago.

When Santiago saw Raeleigh, he briefly stretched his neck and stood up. He walked to the door and looked out. From where he stood, he saw Jepherson and Shaney wrapped in an embrace, under the big tree.

Santiago said, "She's her father's daughter after

all." "She loves you too."

Raeleigh knew her daughter best. She was kind-hearted like her. That was why she did what she did.

"But I am not her father. She still betrayed me." In fact, Santiago was aware of what Shaney did. This time, it was Shaney who arranged everything. First, she disclosed to the reporters that Raeleigh was planning on setting up a company in Ocean City. Later, some companies got reliable news and invited Raeleigh over.

Santiago ignored her, hoping that Shaney would realize her wish as well.

"Since you know that Shaney did all this behind my back, why didn't you stop me from going?"

Santiago thought for a moment and said, "He's almost forty years old. He hasn't been doing well for the past five years. He's been looking for you.

He could not bear to get together with anyone. You already repaid the debt you owed me and I don't need anything from you anymore.

As you can see, I enjoy travelling the world. It is also possible for me to come home and take care of you, but in your heart..."

Santiago did not continue, but they both knew that Raeleigh was still in love with Jepherson.

Raeleigh stood there, "You are all scheming against me."

Santiago laughed. "Like God did not scheme against me? I'm hungry. Why don't you make some breakfast?"

Raeleigh then went to cook. Forden came downstairs with a hypocritical look on his face, "Why does my sister like to poke her nose into other people's business?"

Santiago turned to look at his son. "Mind your own business. Did you just get up? What time is it now?"
