Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 965

Raeleigh saw Xanthus standing in front of an old restaurant with a paper in his hand. It was as if he was comparing something to the paper.

Raeleigh wondered what Xanthus was doing here.

Raeleigh looked around and was a little surprised when she realized that this place used to be an orphanage.

Raeleigh turned her face and kept her eyes on Xanthus. He left after a while.

"What are you looking at?" Jepherson lowered his head to look outside the window. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nothing. I was just fascinated by the buildings."

Raeleigh said somewhat awkwardly.

Xanthus said that his sister was lost, but she always felt that Xanthus's words were not as simple as they sounded.

If his younger sister was lost, then why didn't they put up a missing person's notice like what her grandmother had said?

Why did he personally have to find her on his own?

Raeleigh lowered her head with her eyebrows knitted tightly.

Jepherson leaned on one side and said, "There used to be an orphanage here. However, there was a big fire that happened last time and most of the children perished in the fire."

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Though she did not say anything, the color drained from her face.

Jepherson said, "The children were aged between 3 to 12 years old. It is said that there were no survivors at all."

"How do you know this?" Raeleigh asked strangely.

Jepherson remained silent for a while. After a long time, he said, "It was a big fire and the casualties were all children. How could I not know about it when the people around me talked about it for more than half a year?"

"I remember my parents telling me that this place brings people sadness. Countless innocent souls had died. It's too miserable!"

Jepherson closed his eyes as he spoke. It was as if he was tortured by the memories of it. He seemed like he was in pain.

Raeleigh did not understand. What was wrong with Jepherson?

"Did you know anyone that died?" Raeleigh could not help but to ask. Jepherson opened his eyes Raeleigh was speechless. What did he mean when he said that the person might not have seen her before, but he'll never forget her? Had Jepherson fallen in love with someone when he was younger?

slowly and thought for a moment. He said, "We

were not acquainted, but she was very important

to me. She might not have seen me before, but I

had never forgotten her."

Had he fallen in love with someone when he was a child?

"Was she your childhood sweetheart?" Raeleigh initially did not want to pry but she could not bite on her tongue. She instantly regretted it after asking.

Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with a helpless smile.

"She was an old friend."

An old friend?

Raeleigh felt that she guessed right.

"Miss Anson, it's our..."

"Shut up!"

Jepherson immediately cut Stuart off short as his face turned ice- cold. Stuart hurriedly shut his mouth.

Stuart turned his face away and looked at the

front. Raeleigh then looked at Jepherson, feeling even more determined.

She was surprised to learn that Jepherson had a childhood crush on someone.

Jepherson did not give her any explanation. Silence fell across the car. Jepherson dropped off Raeleigh at the entrance of Elkton University. She wanted to get out of the car but she could not because Jepherson was holding her hand.

"Can you please keep me company tonight?" Stuart heard Jepherson asking Raeleigh as he got out of the car. Stuart then immediately got back into the car and did not give Raeleigh the chance to answer before driving away.

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Stuart and the driver. It was obvious that they were picking on her.

"I still have classes tomorrow." Raeleigh did not know what else to say.
