Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1799

Deanna stared at Raeleigh blankly, all because of the sentence that she just uttered. It was soon going to be another year as the old year passed and Deanna was extremely, absolutely unwilling to leave Raeleigh's home. However, it's already past midnight and she couldn't not outstayed her welcome here.

Deanna mulled over it for a long time. In the end, she still followed Jacky back, but not without a lot of nagging.

As for Jacky, he didn't take it to heart. As long as the children were safe, it didn't matter wherever he went.

As parents, they hoped for nothing more than this.

However, Deanna had already taken this matter as something to be remembered, and inevitably put it on the agenda. She didn't handle it the previous year, hence this time on the second day after the New Year, Deanna went to seek out Raeleigh. Before Raeleigh could even fully wake up from her sleep, it reached their ears that Deanna was waiting downstairs. Jepherson kneaded his brows and got down from Raeleigh's body.

The front door was locked. How did Deanna get in? They had locked the door outside. Between the upper floor area and the living room were stairs, and when one climbed up, they would reach the landing area. There was no bed, but there was bedding prepared on the floor. Deanna went straight up without so much as a by your leave and proceeded to watch a reality show.

Jepherson indeed had a habit in the mornings that he would only get up if there's business that needs to be handled. He didn't expect Deanna to take advantage of that fact.

His face was grumpy as he got up just as Raeleigh put down her phone. It was Deanna who called earlier. If she didn't and the both of them would be in the middle of doing it when she came up...

Jepherson's face darkened even further. He put on his clothes and walked down the stairs. He saw Deanna and Jacky first as they stood downstairs. Jacky had been on holiday for the last few days during the New Year and was basically holed up inside Waverly Village. Deanna had long gotten used to village life. During the New Year, Zorion called to request her to come home. She did so, had her meal there, and then came back. She was offered to stay but she declined as she can't stand to be seen by someone so intoxicated with their success.

Everyone knew that person she was talking about was Rossie. Rayan didn't bother over this matter and Deanna made no further comment over it. Her home had now become someone else's home. This was what they called a dove taking over a magpie's nest. She just did not want to stay.

Since she didn't plan to stay or return anytime soon, thoughts about the children took precedence in her mind all the time. She was extremely curious as to how Raeleigh had been able to keep the children so well hidden. Even when the Whalen family conducted a secret search for them, they couldn't find hide nor hair of them.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning? How did you both get in? Didn't I lock the door last night?" Jepherson's face was taut with displeasure.

Jacky glanced at the door and placed down a key that was in his hand. "I picked it up on the floor near the door yesterday and just happened to bring it back. Based on the keychain, it belongs to your house."

Jepherson lowered his eyes and looked at the key on the coffee table. Indeed, it was his. Raeleigh had bought it at the Waverly Village's market. It came in pairs and was originally kept by Raeleigh herself. He removed one for each of them, then tied a key to it as a backup plan should Raeleigh decide to turn him away.

He didn't expect for it to be swiped by Deanna. This little girl was able to steal things when she was young, who knew even now as an adult she still loved to do this sort of thing.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Jepherson's eyes darkened. "I don't know which itchy fingers took it away. Should I catch them, I will chop them all off."

Deanna disagreed, she would love not to be chopped.

"Where is Raeleigh? It's already afternoon and she still hasn't got up?" Deanna looked upwards, as if she wanted to go up. Jepherson immediately blocked the way to the stairs and glared at Deanna. He had no plans to move from this spot. "The weather is cold. Raeleigh is not used to it. She will get up after a while. You can come back in the afternoon."

"At noon? Raeleigh and I already made arrangements to talk about Cedric and Heitor after New Year's Day. Why do I need to come back in the afternoon? I don't care. Let me see Raeleigh, or I won't leave." Deanna didn't care to eat and plopped herself onto the couch.

So long as Raeleigh doesn't show up, she would not budge.

Jepherson didn't really mind. He glanced at Jacky before he turned and walked up the stairs. He was unconcerned about Deanna's refusal to leave.

When he returned, Raeleigh had gone back to sleep. It was really cold outside, hence she didn't intend to get up from her warm bed. Jepherson sat cross-legged by Raeleigh's side.

He then shook Raeleigh's shoulder and asked, "Where did you send the children to? Since Deanna wants to find them, then it's best to return them. Otherwise, she will come to make trouble and make it difficult to get some sleep."

Raeleigh closed her eyes as if unconcerned about the matter. She continued to sleep as if she had heard nothing.

Jepherson sat behind her for a while. Since she continued to ignore him, he took a look at her cell phone. He knew there was definitely something in that phone, or his mother wouldn't have cared so

much about it. Every time she saw Raeleigh, she always asked her whether she had brought her phone, especially during that New Year's Day. She called to ask Raeleigh over, and seconds after they met, she took away Raeleigh's cell phone. Only after she saw it, was she happy. Otherwise, nothing would get done in the house.

Because he didn't dare to be sure whether Raeleigh was truly asleep, he only stared long and hard at the phone. After a while, as she continued to sleep, Jepherson tentatively tested her, "Raeleigh..."

Raeleigh didn't react. Only then did he reach out to bring her phone over. He first put her phone on silent mode and then activated it. It was password-protected. Jepherson carefully tried to recall what the password might be. However, he fiddled with it for quite some time until the phone sent a warning that if the inputted code was once more incorrect, the phone would automatically lock itself.

Jepherson paused at the last attempt, before he then put the phone back to the side.

He got up and took off his overcoat. He then lay directly by Raeleigh's side while she snored a little in her sleep, for all intents and purposes looked like she was really in slumber.

Jepherson asked, "Are you really asleep?"

Raeleigh replied, "Hmm."

His eyes went half-lidded as he unbuttoned his pajamas. When he went downstairs, he was wearing those pajamas as well, just that he only added on an overcoat. Once that was taken away, he was left back with his sleepwear.

Jepherson loosened the collar and proceeded to pull Raeleigh's hand over directly onto his chest. He squinted his eyes slightly and said in aggrievement, "My heart is about to shatter into pieces, can't you take pity on me and let me see her?"

Raeleigh peered at him. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"You know better than anyone else." Jepherson said coldly. Raeleigh took her hands out and commented, "If you want to have a baby, there are many women outside who are lining up to have that chance. Why do you need to find me?"

"I want you to be the mother. No one else can."

"Then I'm sorry. I can't get pregnant again."

Jepherson had a headache. His body hurt all over to the point that he grinded his teeth from the pain.

Raeleigh opened her eyes and took a glance at Jepherson. Yet after that glance, she pulled her hand away and continued to sleep soon after.

Raeleigh felt that her body wasn't as good as before. Even though she could move and walk, it wasn't at the usual smooth gait. It fell short of what she could usually achieve. When it was past ten at night, her body would ache all over. By the time morning came, she didn't want to get up as even half her head would throb with pain.

Unfortunately, Jepherson wasn't the type of man who would be considerate of her. He tossed and turned most of the night until two in the morning. He slept at that time but could still wake up at four o'clock. Once he had awakened, he couldn't return to sleep and would then become bothersome.

Actually, Raeleigh was already aware he woke up early. They were living together after all, it would be strange if she didn't know what he had been up to.

Nevertheless, Raeleigh really didn't want to get up. Her whole body felt like her bones had been scattered apart from her skeletal frame, wouldn't she be seeking death if she got up?

To encounter such an individual, Raeleigh could only resign herself to being unfortunate.

Perhaps others may think that this was a good thing, but she thought otherwise and was tired instead.

What could she do if she was tired other than be drowsy?

As a result, when Jepherson turned his body around after three minutes to look at her, she was happily fast asleep.

She suggested they meet at ten o'clock and yet she slept until evening with no signs of her going to wake up anytime soon.

This really made Deanna feel awfully anxious!
