Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 843

Jepherson's temperature dropped, but Raeleigh's went up. Raeleigh leaned against the wall and stared at Jepherson, who had recovered a little. His shirt was wet through the front and back of it. Although he was wearing a coat on top of his shirt, outside, her body had been stuck close to his and her hand had been holding onto the back of his shirt, so she knew very clearly.

Jepherson slowly detached himself and pulled her hands off his back. Then, using the corner of his previously discarded outer coat, he wiped her hands clean.

Jepherson took off shirt and coat, and slung it over his shoulders. The wind blew past but there was no unpleasant smell of sweat. Instead, there was a faint fragrance of fresh flowers.

Raeleigh's big and watery eyes landed on Jepherson's white shirt. The design looked simple enough but every part of the shirt was hand-stitched, which hinted at the expensive price tag of the shirt. This was probably why under wet or even sweaty conditions, a light fragrance could be smelled, instead of the unpleasant odour of sweat.

Seeing her staring at him, Jepherson pulled her to him and blew into her eyes. "What are you looking at?"

The low and deep voice was extremely pleasant to her ears, especially on such a silent night.

But Raeleigh didn't feel that way. She just wanted to go back as soon as possible. However, he did not say goodbye and take his leave. Instead, he kept walking forward, with one hand holding onto hers, while the other held onto the clothes over his shoulder.

"You have a grandmother?" Jepherson asked while walking, but Raeleigh didn't answer. She was wondering why Jepherson had asked such a question, so she raised her head to look at Jepherson.

Jepherson didn't have much of a reaction. He simply smiled faintly at her and asked, "How is your grandmother's health?"

Raeleigh didn't answer. She couldn't figure out why Jepherson would ask these questions.

Raeleigh was asked something else instead when she didn't answer Jepherson's question, "Has Quirina come back recently? Did she bully you again?"

Raeleigh did not answer. She didn't think there was a need to do so.

"Why don't you like to talk when you are with me?"

Jepherson asked as he glanced at Raeleigh in amusement. Raeleigh continued to keep mum. "You can ask me anything but I will not reply, so say whatever you want." This had always been Raeleigh's character. She couldn't be bothered by anything other people said.

After walking around for a while, Jepherson sent Raeleigh back. The moment Jepherson loosened his grip on her hand, she immediately left to go back. As a result, as soon as she left, she was pulled back by Jepherson again, and before waiting for her to respond, he kissed her. That time, she did not avoid it and warmth crept into his eyes. He was satisfied with her response. After they separated, Jepherson added, "You really are like a piece of rock. A stinky, hard one."

Raeleigh stared at Jepherson. "Actually, you're that rock."

With a smile on his face, he asked, "It's not a rock if it doesn't heat up?"

Raeleigh did not speak and simply pulled her hand back. Jepherson did not move. "Go in. I'll watch you go in. It's time for me to go back. It's late and my family will be looking for me."

Although Jepherson was a man, he had never stayed out all night. He had never stayed overnight in school. He wasn't used to it. Even if he woke up early, he wouldn't go earlier to school, and even after late night revisions, he would drive back home.

Raeleigh turned around and walked into the dormitory building without looking back. Jefferson watched her enter the dorm. Then, he put on his coat, buttoned up and walked towards his car.

Raeleigh watched him leave from inside and only let out a breath of relief after.
