Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 861

"Jerry, where have you been? Deanna and Zorion are here." Marissa knew that Jepherson had left the house. She knew it was probably for that matter again. The thing is, after so many years, if it still existed, then he would've and should've found it. He shouldn't still have to look for it then.

However, Jepherson was unwilling to give up and Marissa could not bear to burst his bubble, so she did not comment on it.

"I'm out. I went to the orphanage. Grandma, I won't be able to make it back today. It's pouring here and there's a thunderstorm outside now. The plane can't take off, so I can only stay at a hotel for now."

"Since you're not gonna be able to make it back, why don't you say a few words to Deanna?" Marissa then handed the phone to Deanna, who was sitting on the couch, with a little cushion wrapped in her arms.

"Jepherson, were you looking for your elder sister again?" Deanna had only heard Marissa say that Jepherson had always been looking for someone. She was a girl about her age, so Deanna felt that it could be an older sister.

She had never heard about it from her mother before, and had never heard the Richards family talking about it either, other than Marissa, who seemed to know only that it was a girl, of whose relationship to Jepherson was unbeknownst to her too.

Deanna knew that she shouldn't dig too much into people's private matters either, so she kept it casual and just assumed this unknown girl was an elder sister.

Jepherson knew that Marissa had mentioned it to her before, so he did not blame her for knowing a little about it.

"Is Deanna here too?" When Jepherson was on the phone, he glanced at Raeleigh, who was reading a book. It seemed that she didn't hear anything. Frowning slightly, Jepherson raised his head and pressed lightly against Raeleigh's feet. She moved slightly and raised her head to look at him. Jepherson rubbed his temples lightly and continued to listen to the phone.

"Jepherson, when will you come back? Do you want me to pick you up?" Deanna was so innocent that people couldn't help but want to be nice to her. But Jepherson was genuinely nice to her as a sister.

"There's no need for that. I'll probably be back tomorrow or maybe even the day after. You have classes tomorrow, don't miss them." Jepherson talked to Deanna no different from how he normally did and Raeleigh momentarily looked up at him. It was not that he didn't notice it, it was just that he was used to being this frank and was not bothered by the need for pleasantries.

After he was done with his conversation, he put his phone down. Then, he leaned against the couch and fell into deep thought. If that matter had not been brought up, if he had not suddenly thought of it, then his mood would have been better.

Jepherson began to zone out as he stared out of the window at the pouring rain. Raeleigh was looking at her book, but after he remained silent for such a long time, she lifted her head to look at him and only then did he realize that he was in a daze.

Watching Jepherson's flawless side profile, she sank back into it. Men who looked this handsome were really a bane to society. It was no wonder so many girls in the school had fallen head over heels for him.

With such a face, not to mention a woman, even a man would cast many glances at him.

Raeleigh continued to read the book. She was so engrossed that she could sit there without moving all day, almost even forgetting Jepherson's presence.

In fact, Raeleigh really did forget about him, such that when she subconsciously twitched her foot, Jepherson felt like he was going to have a stroke as blood pumped and coursed through his veins at an alarming rate.

Meanwhile, Raeleigh was still entirely engrossed in her book.

Indeed, her personality fitted so her well. She was always very safe.

It was dark, and Raeleigh felt hungry. She put down the book in her hand. When she was thinking about getting up, her feet were held back. She looked at Jepherson, and found that he had fallen asleep.

Even though he had fallen asleep, Jepherson's hands were still holding on tightly to her feet. Her feet were only separated from him by a flimsy bathrobe.

The light in the room was so bright that Raeleigh couldn't properly see what was further in front of her. She stared forward for quite a while before deciding to pull her feet away from Jepherson. Consequently, her movement woke him instantly.

Jepherson opened his eyes and turned his gaze towards Raeleigh. She had already stood up and reluctantly put down the book in her hand by the minibar and said, "I've finished reading it, so you can have it back now."
