Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1616

Raeleigh listened to Flynt's words as she walked. He said a lot of things, and she merely listened.

Just like that, they circled the entire perimeter of the residence and ended up back at the gates. Just as Flynt stepped forward and intended to say something, Raeleigh blurted, "Do you like me?"

Her question caught Flynt off guard, but he knew there had to be a reason, so he replied, "Yes, I do."

Flynt smiled as he spoke, and Raeleigh could tell that his smile was genuine. After all, there would be times when men fall in love, even a treacherous one.

Who wouldn't meet true love?

No matter how astute a man was, there would be times when he let his guard down in front of a woman. To them, nothing was more attractive than a woman who was out of their reach.

This was a man's nature.

Raeleigh wouldn't say she was an expert in life, but after being with Jepherson, she felt she had seen it all.

Although it had only been a year, their measly love couldn't withstand the mundane world.

Raeleigh wasn't moved; she couldn't even feel her heart.

She asked, "What do you like about me?"

"Everything."

Amused, she thought it was the most hypocritical answer in the world.

Flynt was about to pull Raeleigh into his arms when Jepherson's car pulled up in front of them. Someone got out of the car to open the door for Jepherson when a dozen more arrived.

Jepherson came out and looked over at Flynt and Raeleigh before striding to her. Turning her gaze at Jepherson, she walked to him without the need for him to say anything.

Flynt gently tugged Raeleigh's arm. "Raeleigh."

Raeleigh stopped but did not turn to look at him. She had nothing to say to him; she only followed him because she had no choice. But she would not forgive herself if something happened while with him.

Jepherson's gaze landed on Flynt's hand, which was tugging Raeleigh's. Many of Jepherson's men surrounded them, but he didn't need to do anything for Flynt to take his hand away.

"Raeleigh..."

After Flynt released her, she went straight into the car, never once giving him a glance.

However, Flynt wasn't giving up. "Raeleigh..." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Raeleigh still did not look at Flynt. Jepherson sized him up before making his way back into the car. Flynt did not even dare to say a word the entire time, not even a question.

Inside the car, Jepherson said, "I'm sorry."

Raeleigh was looking outside the window. "You already came sooner than I expected."

She thought he would only arrive a little later.

After the door closed, Jepherson instructed the driver to drive off. Raeleigh remained silent the entire journey.

After arriving in the Richards Group Manor, Raeleigh went straight to check on Santiago. She sat in the room for a long time. Everyone went to check on Raeleigh, and seeing that she was fine, they left.

A murderer must pay with his life, but Raeleigh did not dare to kill.

However, those people were always looking for trouble with her.

"I want to sleep here today."

Raeleigh suddenly said at ten at night. Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and was silent for a moment. "Where are you going to sleep?"

Raeleigh glanced at the floor by the bed and said, "On the floor."

With that, Jepherson made a temporary bed for her with a quilt and a pillow. Raeleigh glanced at it, took off her jacket, and tucked herself in.

It didn't take long before Raeleigh fell asleep; she was already still when Jepherson was still reading.

By the time he got up to check on her, she had already fallen asleep.

Seeing so, he sat on the sofa across from her and rested his eyes.

Since Raeleigh didn't sleep in a bed that night, he wouldn't sleep either.

That night, Flynt had a nightmare. He jolted awake, drenched in a cold sweat. He dreamed that Santiago had recovered and came to him for revenge, wanting to chop his arm off.

Climbing out of bed, he took a mouthful of water before making a call.

"I want to kill Jepherson. Send an assassin."

Jepherson was no longer in the room when Raeleigh woke up the next morning. He headed out bright and early to deal with some matters in the company.

Raeleigh tidied up the place before heading back to her room to change. After breakfast, she went back to Santiago's room and decided to stay there and watch TV. She managed to catch the afternoon news about the Richards family; none of them was good news.

Jepherson's picture appeared on TV, but it was quickly replaced by Flynt's. It seemed that Flynt would be named one of the top ten most influential young adults of the year, while Jepherson would most likely not make it into the list.

After watching for a while, Raeleigh switched off the TV and just sat on the sofa.

Raeleigh had just turned off the TV when Xanthus entered. However, she did not greet her brother.

She didn't know what to say.

No matter what she said, everyone would think she was hell-bent on her way.

She felt that she would fail as a mother if she did not stand up and defend her baby when everyone wanted her to get rid of it.

Raeleigh had been too quiet these days, and she did it all for the sake of her baby.

She even had the idea of giving birth here in the Richards Group Manor and waited until the baby was safe before she was opened to any

discussion.

"Let's talk." Xanthus sat down and said to Raeleigh. She looked over at her brother and said, "I'll agree to anything as long as I don't have to do the surgery and as long as my baby is safe."

Raeleigh placed one hand on her belly; it was the most natural thing for a mother to protect her child.

Xanthus said, "I'm sorry."

Raeleigh looked up at Xanthus and said after a long silence, "It's not your fault."

The room fell into silence.

After a while, Raeleigh said, "Please don't tell Mom and Dad."

What Raeleigh worried about the most was her parents finding out.

Xanthus nodded; he wouldn't do her injustice anymore. Since the tumor wasn't life-threatening, there was bound to be a way to treat it.

Humans were strange beings. When Xanthus first suspected it was a life- threatening illness, he couldn't eat nor sleep, forcing her to have the surgery and even wanted her to terminate her pregnancy, but not anymore.

As long as it wasn't anything life-threatening, he was willing to wait.

As a doctor, he knew Raeleigh would be fine for now after learning the tumor was benign.

Since it would not kill her, then there was no rush.

They sat for a while and talked about what had happened the day before. Only then did Xanthus learn Flynt appeared in the hospital, and she followed him, wanting to protect her baby.

Silent, Xanthus understood all his sister did was for the sake of her baby.

Jepherson came back after Raeleigh had just finished her meal; he came in pressing his arm. She watched as he entered the room, looking awful. Then she heard him say, "Don't tell my parents."

He then passed out just as he sat down.

It was Jared who brought Jepherson back. Seeing he had fainted, Jared immediately shouted for someone to call the doctor.
