Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1034

Hansen frowned as he received a call from his son. "Is Deanna alright?" he asked, quirking his brow.

"She's doing well now, but we shouldn't remain silen any longer," Jepherson said as he strolled along the walkway. After a brief pause, Hansen said, "Mr. Whalen's not going to let this go if he knows what happened to Deanna."

You've been negligent though," he added. "I’ll meet up with Raeleigh one of these days."

"Well, come back if you would like to," Jepherson said as he smirked.

"I may not be able to leave once I'm back though," Hanson said. "What's more, you aspire to build a successful career. As your father, I need to back off, so that you can prove to others that you' re worth your salt."

Jepherson smirked. He then turned around and glanced at Stuart. Stuart immediately lowered his head as he happened to overhear the conversation.

"Older people are indeed wiser," Stuart thought. "Other than Mr. Hansen, nobody can outwit Mr. Jepherson."

Jepherson flashed an awkward smile and said, "Come back, you're still young at heart."

Amused, Hansen said, "It hasn't been easy to sneak out. Over the years, your Mom has been looking after you and your brother. As her husband, I have to do something to cheer her up."

"You intend to travel around the world for the rest of your life, don’t you?" Jepherson said with a smile.

"Nah, I don't think so," Hansen said. "Well, you're doing very well in your career. I shouldn't be back then. Figure out how to solve the issue by yourself."

His wife was getting out of the pool when he hung up on Jepherson. Jenna slung a towel on her shoulder and walked towards Hansen. As she sat down, she asked, "Who called?"

"Jerry," Hansen said as he gently caressed her before kissing her. "What have you guys been talking about?" Jenna asked.

"He said he's been missing you," Hansen said. Even though he was lying, he did not blush. He could be seen pulling his wife's swimsuit and lowering his head as he snuck a glance. Nothing much had changed over the years. If there was one noticeable change worth mentioning, then it was her charm. She had grown more charming over the years.

Hansen lowered his head and kissed Jenna's neck. He clasped her in his arms and kissed her. Jenna had wanted to ask him about his phone conversation with Jepherson. However, it slipped her mind when he kissed her. As she was not able to push him away, she gave in.

Jepherson put his phone in the pocket. Then, he turned around and headed straight to Ink Garden to have a rest.

Come evening, Marissa was awake. She woke Jepherson up. Then, he rang Santiago.

"What's up?" Santiago asked as he glanced at the clock. He wondered why Jepherson called him at that hour.

"Grandma's been worrying," Jepherson clarified. "Have a few words with her." Jepherson then handed the phone to Marissa. Still a little nervous, she did not speak immediately. Now that she was convinced that Santiago was safe and sound, she did not feel the urge to talk.

"Hello, Grandma. Are you there?" Santiago said.

Marissa snorted and said, "Why didn’t you call me?"

Though she was irritated, she remained gentle.

"Be sure to look after Raeleigh."

Santiago hung up on her. Marissa could only hear a beep.

Marissa was exasperated, so much so that she wanted to throw the phone away. Nonetheless, she kept her cool as she realized that she had not been courteous either.

Marissa turned around and headed back to her room. Jepherson followed suit. While she was heading back, she turned around again and asked Jepherson, "That girl by the name of Raeleigh. I wonder why she likes Santiago? Is it because he hails from a rich background?"

Jepherson thought for a moment before turning around to look at Marissa. "I don't think so," he said. "A charming beauty herself, she could have married Zorion if money is what she's after. Zorion' s rather well off too."

As she thought about what Jepherson said, she concurred with him.

Amused, Santiago then let Raeleigh help herself. After tasting each dish and being convinced that nothing was amiss about the dishes, she then asked others to eat.

Santiago crossed his legs and looked at Raeleigh. "So, you're still alive," Santiago said.

Bewildered, Raeleigh did not respond to his remark.

Scarlette almost burst into laughter. Santiago could be seen holding the spoon and knocking on the table before he dug in. Raeleigh frowned and said, "Hey, what's with the knocking?"

"Do you have a problem with that?" Santiago said.

Santiago then dug in. Raeleigh followed suit.

Scarlette and Hadrian were sitting on the other side of the ward. They started to dig in too. It was silent as everyone helped themselves with the food. Raeleigh felt a little tired after the meal. In spite of the fatigue, she found herself not being able to fall asleep. She leaned against the wall and stared into the intensive care unit.

Santiago woke up at the break of dawn. He realized that Raeleigh had not been sleeping. "Hey, get some sleep," Santiago said as he kicked her calf.

Raeleigh looked at him and said, "Why are you being rude? I'm your sister-in-law."

"Right, so you’ve finally admitted that," Santiago said with a smile as he crossed his arms. His face was pale. As he had just woken up, he looked like a young schoolboy. Raeleigh knitted her eyebrows and wondered why he was blessed with such good-looking features on his face.

Raeleigh fell into a stupor. Santiago could be seen forming a circle with his thumb and index finger as he yawned. Puzzled, Raeleigh raised her head to look at him. Santiago then poked her forehead.

Raeleigh lowered her head as she held her forehead and groaned in pain. Santiago then quirked his eyebrows as he stood up to take a bottle before gulping a few mouthfuls of water. After that, he put the bottle on the table, turned around, and laid his hands on Raeleigh's waist. She groaned in pain for a while before raising her head. Scarlette wanted to help her but she refrained from doing so as she was afraid.

"Mr. Santiago's an idiot,” Scarlette thought. "Since Mr. Jepherson' s not around, he takes the opportunity to bully Raeleigh.”
