Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1592

Raeleigh was not surprised. Colston's expression demonstrated that it never occurred to him that she was the one who saved him.

Colston put down the cleaver and asked, "How can it be you?"

"I'm from the village. Why it can't be me? I should be the one asking, why were you arguing with those people?"

"We weren't arguing. Louisa and I were already asleep. They came knocking on the door saying that we had affected their daily lives. In reality, we didn't do anything. We didn't want to open the door at first but they threatened to knock it down. We had no choice but to open it."

While Colston was talking, Louisa got up from the ground and gazed at Raeleigh for a moment before she turned around and left.

Colston invited Raeleigh to sit down and spoke to her while tidying up the things in the house.

Raeleigh observed for a while and said, "Did you purchase this house or rent it?"

"I bought it. It's in a strategic location. We had planned to run a shop here, and we had a soft opening these two days. Little did we expect such a thing to happen. Have a drink."

Louisa brought a cup of tea to Raeleigh, who lifted her head and looked at her, "You must have been frightened. Don't worry and take a seat."

"Not really. I'm not that timid. It just came as a shock. I didn't expect that there would be such a bunch of brutish people in the village. We've been receiving help from our neighbors lately. They are especially obliging to us when they see that I'm pregnant. Today's experience is indeed an unusual one."

Louisa sat down dolefully, wondering why they couldn't have a peaceful shelter in spite of the vastness of this world.

Raeleigh cast a glance at Colston, who sat opposite her, without saying a word. Colston was a wise man and it was impossible for him not to grasp her hint.

Colston said, "Those people aren't villagers."

"Then who are they?" Louisa was baffled, which amused Colston. "I've heard of pregnancy brain. So it's a real thing?"

Louisa was also a smart person. After a moment of thought, she realized something all of a sudden. "Flynt is behind this?"

"Who else could it be? Flynt is a hypocrite. He looks for us everywhere, claiming that he wants us to go back and help the family. In fact, everyone knows that he wants to kill us once and for all."

"Although those people were dressed just like villagers, they were definitely not from the village. If they were, they wouldn't have acted like that. The villagers here are neighborly, hospitable, and simple. They wouldn't be so rude."

"How did Flynt's men get in?"

Louisa was a little disconsolate. She looked down at her belly. "What should we do? Do we really have no way out?"

Colston clenched his fists. "No, there must be a way. Don't worry, leave it to me."

Raeleigh swept her eyes over them and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. There's no wrong in suspecting Flynt but we end to be sure."

"It's him. Apart from him, who else would intend to harm us? That day, Old Master Johan asked me to call Flynt and Thorin, telling them to come back. Thorin was killed in an accident on his way back. Even though Flynt was injured, he was all right. There must be something fishy about it."

"Later, Old Master Johan drove us out. Not long after we left, he and Elina died. And the old butler went missing. At present, Louisa and I are the only ones who know the truth. If we don't die, I'm afraid that Flynt will be feeling on edge." "Even so, if Flynt wants to emerge as a big gun in Capital City, he has to be patient. He needs a certain number of followers. At the very least, he has to show it to the public. Additionally, it's essential for him to get along with the rich and powerful families in Capital City. Thus he won’t come to the village and hunt us in person."

"If I'm not mistaken, Flynt is related to Stella. There must be some secrets between them."

"Therefore, those people aren't Flynt's men."

"They should be Stella's men. I know that Stella is also around here somewhere."

Raeleigh was certain that Stella was in the village. She just didn't know where exactly she was hiding. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Are you sure?"

Just when Raeleigh had finished speaking, Jepherson's voice could be heard from the door. Raeleigh was dazed for a second before she fell silent.

She knew that Jepherson and Stella had a complicated relationship. In this case, Raeleigh didn't want to say anything.

"What? Am I really that loathsome in your eyes?" The fact that Raeleigh didn't want to reply to Jepherson made him feel a tide of anger rising in him, especially at this time and place.

She was pregnant. There was no reason for her to show up here.

"I'm asking you."

Raeleigh said, "Don't shout at me. Even if Stella is here, I may not be able to find her and she won't die!"

"How dare you!"

Once they met, they couldn't help pouring spiteful remarks at each other. Everyone had not expected them to start quarreling like this

"Raeleigh."

While Raeleigh was pulling a long face, Xanthus, who stood behind Jepherson, came in. He was not happy too.

As soon as Raeleigh heard Xanthus calling her, she shrank her head right away.

Seeing Raeleigh behave like an acquiescent child in front of Xanthus, Jepherson's mind went blank momentarily. Subsequently, he turned around and stared at Xanthus with a poker face.

"You... what's wrong?" Jepherson asked in a deep voice but he gradually calmed down after that.

He had no right to criticize Xanthus.

"Nothing." The note of disapproval in Xanthus's voice was patently obvious. Although Jepherson had tried to talk to him as mildly as he could, Xanthus saw no problem in giving him attitude. He approached Raeleigh and stopped bu her side, gazing at her. "Get up."

Xanthus had never spoken with an enraged tone before. Raeleigh emanated a domineering air just now, but now she didn't have the stomach to defy Xanthus.

She stood up. "I came out to-"

"That's enough. I'll book a flight later for you to leave at once. Don't ever come back."

Xanthus held Raeleigh's hand and turned around, pulling her out. Raeleigh didn't think he was rude. On the contrary, she felt a little guilty.

Going outside, she tried explaining to Xanthus but he refused to hear her explanation. His expression darkened even more.

Reaching home, Raeleigh sat obediently on the sofa while Xanthus booked two flight tickets. After putting down his phone, he began to pack his clothes without hesitation.

Raeleigh said, "I don't want you to worry about me."

Xanthus threw out the clothes that he did not like to wear. He was furious.

Raeleigh got up, picked them up, and placed them on the sofa.

"You should pack up too. We'll be leaving soon."

Pursing her lips, Raeleigh went to pack up. However, she did it slowly until Jacky arrived.

Jacky came to look for Xanthus. "It was an oversight on my part. Blame me if you want."

Xanthus smirked. "My own business is none of your concern. Just go. Raeleigh and I will leave. This place isn't suitable for us."

"Where can you go? It will be more dangerous if you leave the village. I believe you know this better than anyone else."

Xanthus threw a glance at Jacky and completely ignored him. He tidied up his belongings and locked his suitcase before turning around to look for Raeleigh, who had also finished packing up. Afterward, he pulled her hand. She was pregnant, hence he had to be careful. Nonetheless, a little strength was enough for him to pull her out.

Coming out of her room, he brought her outside.
