Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 997

Raeleigh pushed Jepherson's wheelchair after she got out of the car. When they arrived at the door, they were immediately surrounded by a group of children. Raeleigh was dazed by that atmosphere, as if she had returned to her childhood.

The dean came out and thanked Jepherson gratefully, holding his hand before they went to have a meal.

Jepherson could not drink alcohol, so all of them finished their meal in a rather short period of time. After they finished eating, they were ready to rest. The children were so excited that they could not fall asleep. That day, everyone had received an average of three gift items. They knew that the gifts were given by Jepherson and Raeleigh, so they all went to the courtyard where the both of them stayed and sat there, wanting to talk to them.

Raeleigh was about to take a break. After a whole day of walking, her legs were somewhat sore and heavy, but when she saw so many children staying in the yard, she looked at Jepherson, who was sitting in the wheelchair.

Jepherson said, "I'll go get changed. You can accompany them." Jepherson then looked at

Stuart, who wheeled him towards the bathroom and left Raeleigh outside.

Raeleigh was amused. She sat on the chair and looked at the several kids in front of her. He had to change into another set of clothes just because he had to meet the children?

When Jepherson came out, he wore a loose short-sleeved T- shirt, instead of the usual suit and blazer. He looked like an elder brother next door, which immediately gave people a sense of familiarity.

Raeleigh suddenly understood why the children of the orphanage seemed hesitant to go up to Jepherson earlier on. It turned out that he had gone to change clothes because the children were afraid of him.

Raeleigh stared at Jepherson, unable to say a word. When a group of children saw Jepherson coming out, they immediately ran after him and soon surrounded him.

Jepherson looked back at Stuart, who immediately left the courtyard.

Raeleigh watched as Stuart left. She didn't have much to say. She sat on the spot and looked at Jepherson, who played with the group of children like an oversized kid.

"Are you two in a relationship?" a little girl asked timidly. Raeleigh looked at the little girl's face. She had braids that were fun to play with.

Jepherson smiled and said, "Why do you ask that?"

"If you two aren't dating, then I can be your girlfriend!" The little girl lowered her head and was a little embarrassed.

All the children around laughed, and so did Jepherson.

"Aren't we friends now?" he asked with a smile. The little girl raised her head and narrowed her eyes as she giggled.

Jepherson took a look at Raeleigh and said, "I'm trying to pursue her, but she doesn't like me back. She always thinks that I'm not good enough for her, so she refuses to be my girlfriend, up till now. I don't know what to do."

His statement made all the children turn to look in Raeleigh's direction, and she didn't know how she should react to it.

All of a sudden, all the children ran to Raeleigh's side. Surrounding Raeleigh with their mouths blabbering, they asked why she didn't like Jepherson, why she didn't agree to be his girlfriend, did she feel that he was too poor, and all sorts of questions. Raeleigh was stunned by the sudden commotion.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Jepherson looked

at Raeleigh with his chin resting on his palm. His

calm and unruffled eyes were full of provocation.

At first, Raeleigh was slightly pissed off. But then, her anger subsided from all the children's questions, and she actually found them funny and adorable.

Stuart had gone out for more than an hour and brought a few people back with him. He brought back two boxes and put them down after entering through the door.

Upon putting down the boxes, the children looked over and surrounded them.

Stuart immediately opened the boxes. There were red apples in one box and exquisite small boxes in the other. A foreign name for a type of candy was written on it, so the children had never seen it before. They didn't know that there were sweets inside.
