Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1667

As soon as Jepherson hung up the phone, Marissa dashed over and grabbed him by his collar, beating him hard. "What did you just say? Repeat your words if you have the guts to do so."

Jepherson ignored her as his eyes fell on Reese. "Tomorrow onwards, you don't have to come anymore."

"Mr. Richards, Madam Marissa needs someone to look after her all the time," Reese said. By this time, Raeleigh had already walked into the bathroom. She didn't want to get involved in matters between Jepherson and Marissa.

After walking into the bathroom, she filled up the tub and locked the door before getting into the tub.

Raeleigh leaned back against the tub. She wouldn't step out of the bathroom even if the sky were to collapse on her.

Yet, it turned out...

Jepherson intended to send Marissa to a mental hospital. Reese quickly called Trevor, who rushed over to the hotel immediately and finally made it late at night.

By the time Trevor arrived, the staff from the mental hospital had also arrived. After bumping into each other at the hotel entrance, the staff hastily retreated after Trevor went on a tirade.

When Trevor arrived at the hotel room, he kicked the door down, giving everyone a fright.

In contrast with his age, Trevor was not doddery at all.

He entered the room to find Marissa shouting at Jepherson, who was standing by the bed. When Jepherson saw Trevor, he said, "Are you here to catch me redhanded as well?"

Trevor was a little mystified. He knew that something had to be afoot, otherwise, things wouldn't have gotten so out of control.

"Stop this ruckus right now. Get out of here, all of you!"

Trevor was the patriarch of the Richards family, after all. The moment he gave the order, everyone left and Marissa walked over to him and started crying like he was her only hope.

Trevor was well aware that his wife must be the one creating trouble, but he would not take his grandson's side.

"Looks like you're all grown up and even able to bully your own grandmother."

Trevor did not say anything else. With that, he grabbed Marissa and turned to leave. However,

Marissa refused to, saying, "That vixen's still in there."

Only then did Trevor realise that Raeleigh had returned.

He stopped and turned to look at Jepherson, whose expression was cold. "I'll get to the bottom of this, but I won't let you off the hook. I won't allow you to bully your grandmother as long as I'm still alive."

With that, Trevor left and forcefully took Marissa with him. Regardless of her unwillingness, she couldn't resist him and was forced to leave.

On the other hand, Raeleigh soaked in the tub for more than an hour and became extremely pruned. She only came out when Jepherson went to get her.

Outside the hotel.

Trevor was having mixed feelings. Over the past few years, Marissa had become more and more temperamental and was acting increasingly erratically.

Ever since Hansen and Jenna had left with Santiago, she'd grown increasingly unreasonable. Trevor knew that she felt disinclined to accept it, but she had no option but to compromise when it came to kinship. It was not a matter that could be solved with mere persistence.

Marissa stopped in her tracks and broke free of Trevor's grip. She asked, "Do you think that I'm being unreasonable and that I've grown senile?"

Her face was white with rage. Trevor took his coat off and draped it around her shoulders, not wanting her to catch a cold.

He answered, "It's true that I do feel that you're being unreasonable sometimes."

Trevor cast a glance at Reese, who was standing next to them. At her age, she wasn't able to comprehend their relationship, which was why she was looking at them rather oddly.

Trevor might be getting on in his years, but he was still charming.

Reese had never seen Hansen. When she came to the Richards family, Hansen and Jenna weren't around anymore.

The same went for Santiago.

Reese had only met Trevor and Jepherson. It was obvious to her that both of them were loyal to a fault and loved their partners deeply.

It was excusable for Jepherson as it was normal for him to be besotted at his age, but what about Trevor?

Every time she thought about this, Reese would give Trevor an odd look or two.

Trevor said to her, "You can head back for now and come over tomorrow."

Reese turned around and left.

Only then did Trevor turn to face Marissa, who was trembling with rage. He took her hand and rubbed his hands against hers to warm it up.

Reese watched them after getting into the car, which was parked a distance away.

She frowned, perplexed.

Why was Trevor still treating Marissa so well even though she was like a raving lunatic? Wasn't it odd?

Reese was interested to see what would happen next, so she did not leave.

Marissa asked Trevor, "Even you think that of me? Why?"

"You've never been a considerate person, Marissa," he suddenly answered. Marissa stiffened, immediately wanting to pull away from him. Before she could, however, Trevor had already grabbed her hand.

She stared at him in anguish.

He sighed lightly and looked at her. "There was a time when you were considerate for me, though."

Hearing his words, Marissa stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

Was she the one at fault?

Trevor wiped away the tears that started to flow from Marissa's eyes and said, "Your extreme methods caught me by surprise, but I don't detest you, nor do I blame you."

"You've sacrificed a lot for this family, for your husband and child. In fact, in your old age, you should be surrounded by family, but I'm the only one by your side. They've all left and gone on to love someone else."

"That's why you became extreme."

"That said, Marissa, we don't love and raise them so that they'll surround us. It's so that they'll be happy."

"Everyone has their own journey, just like how I chose you over my mother."

"You can still lead a happy and fulfilling life without them, Marissa. Don't resent them. You'll always have me."

"For as long as I live, I'll be by your side."

Marissa stared at Trevor dazedly, her tears still flowing. Trevor pulled her into his arms and pat her on the back.

He said softly, "It's only normal for people to become somewhat irrational when they get older. It's just that they've forgotten how we used to treat them when they were younger and up to all sorts of hijinks."

Those words were all it took for Marissa to snap as she burst into tears.

Trevor pulled her into the car and headed home.

At the same time, Reese got ready to leave. However, she saw two black cars that didn't belong to the Richards family trail after Trevor and Marissa.

She found it extremely odd. Why were there still cars around here at this hour?

Why were they stalking Trevor's car?

Reese immediately dialed Jepherson’s number.

Raeleigh had just come out of the bathroom and dried herself. She'd gotten dressed and was ready to hit the sack.

Jepherson wasn't in the best mood and was currently taking a shower. It was Raeleigh who picked up the call.

When she saw that Reese was the one calling, she immediately thought of the woman who was with Marissa.

Answering the call, she went straight to the point. "He's in the bathroom. What's the matter?"

"There are two black cars that don't belong to the Richards family following Old Master Richards and Madam Marissa's car. Please tell Mr. Richards about this."

Reese was worried, so she planned on going after them, but she wasn't sure whether she'd get caught and was also feeling hesitant.

Raeleigh frowned. "Where were they going?"

"Richards Group Manor, probably."
