Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1734

On the first night of Maverly's stay in the manor, the three of them had a hard time falling asleep.

Xanthos and Maverly couldn't sleep, while Raeleigh stayed up wondering all night.

'What's wrong with Xanthus?'

Raeleigh got up early in the morning and ordered the servants to prepare a scrumptious breakfast. On the other hand, Maverly woke up at eight o'clock.

Glancing at the time, Maverly felt a little embarrassed. She came down from upstairs and explained, "I find it hard to fall asleep in unfamiliar places."

"It's okay. I just got up too," Raeleigh said as she served breakfast.

Just then, Jepherson came downstairs and saw Maverly but said nothing.

"This is Mr. Richards. He usually doesn't talk. So please don't mind him," Raeleigh told Maverly the truth. Maverly was still too young to understand it after all. She stared at them with a strange expression on her face.

"Do you all usually wake up this late?"

Raeleigh smiled, "Can't we?"

"Well... There's nothing wrong with that." Maverly was a little embarrassed and she sat down when Raeleigh told her to.

At this time, Jepherson had already sat down on the side. He was used to sitting there. He refused to look at the others as if they had nothing to do with him. He was only concerned about the people he loved.

Raeleigh said to Maverly, "Don't mind him. He has always been like this."

Upon hearing that, Jepherson raised his head to look at Raeleigh with a haughty look in his dark eyes.

Stunned, Maverly hurriedly lowered her head, thinking that Jepherson was an unfriendly man.

Raeleigh noticed Maverly lowering her head and turned to look in the direction of Jepherson, then finally saw what was going on.

Jepherson avoided her gaze and continued to eat without paying attention to them.

Raeleigh handed Maverly an egg, putting it in front of her. "I don't know what you like to eat, so I told them to make a simple breakfast instead. Tell me what you like. I will ask the kitchen staff to make it for you later." 'Maverly seems like a good girl. Didn't Jared say that she has a crush on Xanthos?' Raeleigh thought.

Raeleigh felt proud knowing that someone had a crush on Xanthus. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Besides, she thought Maverly looked pleasing to the eye.

Although Cynthia had been good to Xanthus, she was already in the past. Raeleigh had never expected that they would separate after being together with each other for so long.

Raeleigh did not care how things would develop between Maverly and Xanthus in the future, but she hoped that Xanthus could move on from his past relationship.

"I'm fine with anything," Maverly answered. She was not picky about food. Just then, Xanthus came down from upstairs.

Everyone looked up at Xanthus as he pulled out a chair and sat down beside Raeleigh.

Xanthus lowered his head and remained silent as he dug into his breakfast.

He had never been so quiet since Jepherson's arrival.

Without lifting his gaze, he finished his breakfast, then got up and prepared to go to the hospital.

Before Maverly could finish her food, Xanthus asked her, "Are you going to school or to the hospital today?"

She looked at him and replied, "I have to complete my thesis. So I won't go out for the next few days. Dad has already helped me apply for leave. He doesn't want me to go to school. I'll go to the hospital in the afternoon."

"In the afternoon? What for?"

"Yesterday, I asked Heston to help me take care of Jacian. I can't keep asking him to help. I'll go over tonight and take care of Jacian myself. I'll write my thesis while taking care of him."

"You want to take care of Jacian while you write your thesis?"

"That's right."

Xanthus said nothing as he turned to leave and drove away.

Raeleigh asked Maverly, "Who is Jacian?"

"He is a child I met in the orphanage. Dr. Osteen did his surgery."

Raeleigh nodded in comprehension upon hearing Maverly's explanation.

"Then, do you think you can multitask?"

"I'm fine. I'm used to this."

After breakfast, Maverly went to write her thesis. At around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, she brought some food from Raeleigh's home and hurried to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, she found Heston and took out the food. The three of them ate lunch together. After eating, Maverly asked Heston to go home and told him she would stay in the hospital to take care of Jacian while writing her thesis.

In the evening, when Xanthus got off work, he stopped at the door, then went to Jacian's ward to check on him. When he arrived, he heard a voice coming out from the ward.

"Maverly, do you like Heston?"

Jacian asked as he lay on the bed. Maverly replied, "He's my classmate. He's just helping me. I helped him a lot too."

"Then who do you have a crush on?"

"No one at the moment."

Maverly initially planned to write her thesis, but Jacian couldn't stop talking to her, disrupting her chain of thought. Worried that she could not finish her thesis, she became a little dejected.

"Jacian, are you not feeling well now?"

"No, I feel comfortable now. Maverly, you may leave if you have something else to do. I'm fine being alone at night."

"You are too young. What if something happens? I have nothing to do if I go back anyway."

Maverly felt wronged. She couldn't abandon Jacian, so she had no choice but to stay up late at night.

It was already late at night, but Maverly still had not gone back.

Neither did Xanthus.

Raeleigh received a call from Xanthus telling her that he would not go back because he had an operation that night.

She put down her phone and said to Jepherson, "Are you flying tonight?"

When Jepherson didn't answer, Raeleigh stopped asking. Apparently, he was mute now.

That evening, Raeleigh saw Jepherson off. While Jared drove Raeleigh back, he looked at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Whether or not I would get home safely."

In fact, Raeleigh was a little worried. She did not think that Jared would treat her nicely anymore.

In other words, Jepherson was able to subdue Jared when he was still around. Now that he was no longer around, then that was not necessarily the case.

"Heh... You're indeed very smart."

Just like that, Jared abandoned Raeleigh on the cold street. She felt her body shivering as the chilly wind blew past her.

Initially, she planned to take a taxi but couldn't find one. 'Jared is cunning. He has abandoned me in a place where I can't even get a taxi!'

Sbe stood there for a long time until she no longer had the energy to move. She wanted to call Xanthus, but stopped when she realized that he would definitely not answer the phone if he was in the middle of a surgery.

Instead, she called her driver at home and asked him to pick her up. Fortunately, she was not far from home.

But when she hung up the phone, a black car pulled up in front of her. The passenger inside the vehicle opened the door and asked her to get into the car. She fixed her eyes on the man inside the car, thinking that it would not be safe to encounter anyone at such a late hour. However, she didn't see Jared nearby.

Her heart thumped against her chest as she hesitated.

The driver got out of the car, then said to Raeleigh, "The President invites you to get in the car. It's too remote here and it's dangerous."

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the car. The man did not seem to be a bad person, but...

"Thank you then!"

She bowed and entered the car. The next instant, she saw the face of the man sitting inside the car clearly. He crossed her legs and sat there elegantly, shooting a glance at Raeleigh as she got into the car.

Raeleigh froze for a moment as soon as she saw him.

When the two of their eyes met, he smiled at her.
