Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1593

Just as they arrived at the door, Jepherson blocked Xanthus and Raeleigh's way.

Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Jepherson who was standing in her way. Jepherson seemed impatient. He glanced at Raeleigh and said, "It's useless even if you take Raeleigh away from here. You've seen what Flynt is capable of. Colston was already in hiding here with no intention of competing with him. However, did he give up hunting down Colston?"

"If you go back, you will only bring troubles to others. Why do you have to take such a risk?"

Raeleigh didn't appreciate it. She didn't think that Jepherson's words would solve any problem. However, Xanthus actually changed his mind after a moment of deliberation.

"Raeleigh."

Xanthus's voice was cold, sounding precisely like an elder brother's.

Raeleigh raised her head. "Hm." NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Get in. You're grounded for three days."

Raeleigh froze for a moment, "Xanthus-"

"Six days."

Saying nothing, Raeleigh turned around and went back in with her luggage. Jepherson looked over Xanthus's shoulder at her. After she had gone in, Jepherson said, "You did that on purpose?"

Xanthus shot a glance at him. "She's my sister."

Jepherson did not answer him. Xanthus then looked at Jacky. "Raeleigh said that Stella is here. I don't believe in Jepherson. Raeleigh told me that it was him who protected Stella in Capital City so

that she could make a getaway. I don't know the accurate situation, but I trust Raeleigh."

Jacky glanced at Jepherson. He didn't care what exactly was going on. However, someone was messing around in his territory, thus he had to take action.

"I see. I'll find her in three days. Mr. Richards, I hope you don't appear during these three days. You aren't welcomed here."

As he finished his words, Jacky ordered one of his subordinates, "See Mr. Richards off."

"Mr. Richards, this way, please."

Jepherson turned and walked away. After a few steps, he looked back at Xanthus with his blazing eyes. "I didn't protect Stella."

"Whether that was true or not, you know very well."

Xanthus turned and went back into the house whereas Jepherson paused briefly before he was

escorted out.

Jepherson returned to his car and left the village. He gazed at the village.

"Send some guys here."

Jepherson did not believe that Stella was in the village but if Raeleigh said so, he would take precautions.

Furrowing his brow, Jepherson took out his phone and called Stella.

No one answered. Jepherson put down the phone. "Get ready and call Jared to come over instantly."

"Yes, sir."

The chauffeur felt that something was wrong as Jepherson was in a sullen mood that day.

Raeleigh tidied up her clothes and came out of her room while Xanthus was sitting on the sofa with a poker face. Colston and Louisa visited them, intending to see Raeleigh. As a host, he could not simply kick the guests out of the house.

Besides, Jacky was there too. It was so late yet he didn't leave.

Discerning the sulkiness on Xanthus's face, Raeleigh dared not say anything.

"What do you want to do? Are you planning to go out still? Can't you see what time it is?" Xanthus said in a displeased tone but Raeleigh didn't take it as an affront. It was only now that it dawned on Colston and Louisa that Xanthus and Raeleigh were brother and sister.

This pair of siblings was interesting. Raeleigh wore an assertive demeanor outside, but she was fearful of her brother. It was pretty surprising to watch.

Raeleigh cracked an ingratiating smile. "I'm coming out to see our guests, not to go out. Also, it is so dark out there, where can I go?"

"Humph, it turns out that you're aware of that. Yet you still went out earlier. Don't you know what kind of state you're in?"

Raeleigh considered for a bit. "I know."

"Then why did you go out?"

"I won't do it again."

"There's an 'again'?"

Raeleigh stared at Xanthus, who was livid. In this case, anything she said would be wrong in his eyes. It was the first time that she saw him being so exasperated.

Raeleigh stood aside, as if she was a child who had done something wrong. She kept her head down without moving.

Seeing that she did not talk back, he simmered down a little. Meanwhile, Colston said, "Thanks to Raeleigh today. Otherwise, both Louisa and the baby will have an accident."

Xanthus's eyes fell on Colston as he regained his composure. "Since she bumped into you guys, she ought to have lent a hand. You aren't the reason I'm blowing my top. I hope you can understand that."

Xanthus's words were very blunt but both Colston and Louisa laughed.

"We know that you are worried about Raeleigh. She's lucky to have a brother like you."

As she spoke, Louisa stood up. "Time to go. It's getting late, so we'll go back to rest first. Raeleigh, I bet you must be very bored when you're grounded. I'll bring some dishes for you guys tomorrow. Goodbye."

Louisa pulled Colston up and they left together.

After they left, Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Xanthus. "Are you still angry?"

Xanthus looked at Raeleigh. "Go back and sleep. We'll talk about your actions tomorrow."

Only then did Raeleigh go back. She stopped at the door, turned around, and looked at Xanthus. "You aren't going to sleep?"

Xanthus darted a glance at Raeleigh. "I'll sleep here, in case you sneak out."

"I won't do it. Go to your room, it's cold here."

Raeleigh came back and tried to persuade him into sleeping in his room, but he said, "Go to your room. I'll keep an eye on you."

Raeleigh was rendered speechless. She could only take out a blanket and put a pillow down for him. "You need them so that you won't catch a cold."

Yawning, Raeleigh turned and went back to her room.

She stood against the door for a while, recollecting the direction in which those people had fled. Afterward, she sent a message to Jacky.

Just when Jacky was about to rest, he received the message. He picked up his phone. "Say it."

Raeleigh and Jacky used voice messages to communicate.

Raeleigh said, "Those people ran toward the walled homestay. I think that's where they've been hiding. You should be able to find them there, but you'd better search the other spots in the village tomorrow morning. Try making a bigger deal out of your operation. When it's night, announce to the villagers that everything is settled."

"In this way, you can look for her covertly at night. Otherwise, she may escape or hold the villagers as hostages to threaten us."

Jacky said, "uh-huh." Following that, Raeleigh hung up and got into bed to rest.

She slept late, which caused her to rise late the next morning. By the time she stirred, Louisa had already come to visit her,

After washing up, Raeleigh came out and saw Louisa, which left her in a pensive mood. Indeed, Louisa did resemble Brisa.

Raeleigh stared absentmindedly at Louisa, who sat there waiting for her. She called out to her, "You really came?"

"I told you I'd come. Of course, I'd fulfill my promise. This is the dessert I made. It's best to be eaten at this time. Try it."

Louisa opened the lunchbox while Raeleigh sat down to look inside of it. Then she looked up at Louisa in a daze. "How did you make it?"

Louisa replied, "When I was a child in the orphanage, there wasn't much food provided. Most of them were snatched by the older children before it was the turn for a younger pint-sized kid like me. Hunger got the better of us, so another girl and I would sneak into the kitchen to steal some food. We went there very early every time. The chef had just started to prepare the meals, thus we learned it by observing how he did it."

Raeleigh gazed at Louisa blankly as her mind filled with mixed feelings. She could not help recalling what happened back in the day. Was it true?

Was the woman before her, who was named Louisa, really Brisa? Raeleigh was lost in thought.
