Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 855

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Raeleigh replied in amusement, "I don't know what to say."

"You must have something to say."

"Don't be so impulsive in the future. You're too unruly."

Scarlette fixed her eyes on Raeleigh. "Seriously, that's your reaction?"

"What else can I do?" Raeleigh picked up a book next to her hand, opened it and looked at the exercises inside. She was not interested in anything, not even in the exercises.

Finally, the day had quietened down. Raeleigh planned to go home to see her grandmother over the weekend, so Raeleigh began to prepare for it on Friday afternoon.

"Raeleigh, why do you need to pack up your things?" Scarlette asked. She did not know why, since she had no class on Friday afternoon. So, she went back to her bedroom, intending to sit down for a good gaming session with Raeleigh, only to find her packing up as if she was ready to run away.

Raeleigh bowed her head and continued to pack her belongings. "I need to go home to take a look."

That week, Raeleigh's scholarship allowance had been transferred to her account. She hadn't expected it to be that fast. That, together with the money she had won from gaming with Scarlette, she could buy some health supplements for her grandmother.

Raeleigh felt guilty when she thought of her elderly grandmother, who still worried about her daily.

"Go home? You're going home, too?" She knew Raeleigh had a grandmother, but other than that, she didn't know much about her family.

Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Scarlette. "Can't I go home?"

"Of course you can. It's just that I didn't expect your family to be in Capital City as well." Scarlette sat at the side, feeling bored. "There'll be nothing for me to do after you leave. Why don't you bring me along?"

Raeleigh hesitated for a moment. "If you have nothing else to do, then you can go back with me and let my Grandma see you."

"OK, then I will prepare for it." Upon hearing Raeleigh agree to let her come along, Scarlette rushed to pack her things up and was ready shortly after. Then, they both set off, leaving the university and reaching her Grandma's place before it got dark.

Raeleigh's grandmother was a commoner and it was she who had brought Raeleigh up ever since she had been a kid. The two of them lived together, and depended on no one other than each other and although life was tough, they were content and happy.

Raeleigh didn't have any unrealistic dreams. She just hoped that her Grandma would be able to live a happy life after Raeleigh started earning a comfortable living.

How much money would she earn apart from recycling clothes? Back then, they barely managed to get by that way.

When they arrived at the gate, Raeleigh got out of the car, followed by Scarlette. The both of them walked in a single file and entered the small walkway.

"Raeleigh, is your house a bungalow?" She didn't expect that there were bungalows on the outskirts of Capital City.

"This house doesn't belong to Grandma. We used to live in a rented house. Before that, we lived in the countryside. Later, it was because of my studies that we moved here to Capital City. We tried to rent an apartment but they were simply too expensive, so we ended up here." "Why did you live in the countryside? Is your family from the countryside?" Scarlettee asked as she walked. Raeleigh had already reached the door of her home. She didn't answer but just said, "The rental house in the countryside was my grandmother's. We live there well. If it weren't for my studies, then perhaps we would have lived there forever."

Scarlette stopped questioning her. Raeleigh raised her hand and knocked on the door. "My Grandma's health is generally alright. However, over the past few years, her leg is often swelling up and in a lot of pain. It is because she spent so much of her youth outside in freezing temperatures without proper insulation."

"Your grandmother really lived quite a harsh life." Scarlette shook her head, pitifully.

It was not easy for an old lady to take care of her granddaughter alone.

Raeleigh knocked on the door for a while but no one answered. Raeleigh took out the key and unlocked the door, leading Scarlette into the house. When they entered the room, there was no one in the room, but it was clean and had been tidied up, although there were no furnishings in the house.

"Come on in first, she must've gone out." Raeleigh invited Scarlette in as the latter put down her backpack and walked around the house, stopping here and there to take a peek.
