Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1607

It was late at night when Xanthus fell asleep. Raeleigh tucked him in and walked out of her room after making sure he wouldn't wake up.

Jacky was still sitting in the living room right then.

Along with him were Callis and Leander.

Callis was taken aback when he saw Raeleigh, looking as if he was surprised the person to come out was her.

Raeleigh said, "My brother is in a bad mood. He is a doctor; he can't bear to witness killings."

Jacky raised his head and sized her up, his fathomless gaze laced with a hint of surprise, "And you're not afraid?"

"I am, but what was done was done. This is your territory; you have your rules here, but I'm afraid we can no longer stay. The hospital is Xanthus's; I'll talk to him about having someone else take over. It won't affect your collaboration with him, but I have to leave."

"But is there anywhere else safer than Waverly Village? Where can you go if you leave?" Jacky asked.

Raeleigh didn't care but said instead, "Doesn't matter as long as it's not here. This place stresses the hell out of Xanthus."

Jacky said, "You can move to the walled house."

"No, this is no different from not leaving; I'll find somewhere. I'm only letting you know. This decision won't affect our partnership. I hope you understand."

Raeleigh checked the time. "It's getting late. I'm going to rest. Good night, everyone."

Raeleigh didn't see Jacky out but went back to her room. She couldn't leave Xanthus alone.

After retreating to her room, she laid down on the empty side of the bed, keeping vigil over Xanthus, only falling asleep in the morning.

When Xanthus woke up, he thought it was in his room, so he was shocked to see someone sleeping next to him. Realizing it was Raeleigh, he gradually recalled the horror from last night and slowly retreated from her room to make breakfast.

Raeleigh was still asleep when he was done with his breakfast, so he went to look for Jacky to talk about their departure.

To his surprise, Jacky agreed without putting up a fight.

"Don't you want to know why?"

"I still have matters to attend to; you can talk to Logan about the collaboration."

With that, Jacky hopped into the car and left without saying anything else.

When Raeleigh woke up in the afternoon, Xanthus discussed leaving Waverly Village with her and even gave her a lot of advice, including staying over at the Richards Group Manor.

She watched him silently until he suggested that they stay over at the Richards Group Manor, to which she agreed.

The room fell silent.

Xanthus couldn't believe his ears, but Raeleigh said nothing more and began packing up. As she didn't have too many things, it didn't take her long.

Xanthus thought he had been set up again!

Raeleigh went to find Callis and Leander before leaving.

"I'm leaving. I'll visit you guys when I can. Thank you for looking after me. I'll be going to the Richards Group Manor to take care of Santiago. If not, I would've taken you two with me."

Raeleigh looked at Callis, took out a bank card, and put it in his hand.

"This is for you. There's a few hundred thousand in there. You two can use this to start your own business; don't work here anymore. It won't do in the long run. Best if you can find somewhere like Capital City, a place with a good view and fresh air. The underworld doesn't suit you. You won't live long being the leader of a gang nor a lackey."

Raeleigh patted Callis's hand. He looked at her, then at the card; he hesitated but did not return the card to her.

She withdrew her hand and looked at the car parked not far away before going to Xanthus's side.

After they left, Callis looked at the bank card in his hand and put it away.

The siblings arrived at the gates of the Whalen residence in the afternoon. Rossie wasn't surprised to see them when she came out and got into the car.

"Doctor Xanthus," Rossie greeted Xanthus, and he replied with a smile before getting out of the car.

Raeleigh said to Rossie, "Put the money I've invested aside first. I have to hand the rest of the matters to you. There should be no problem if you collaborate with Jacky. I'm going to care for Santiago; I refuse to believe he won't wake up."

"Now that you had stopped everything in Waverly Village, what about the hospital?"

"The hospital is my brother's share, but he has withdrawn. We won't do any business anymore."

"Raeleigh, are you planning on cutting ties and never coming back?"

"I'll worry about that in the future. All I want to do is take care of Santiago now."

"But you're still so young. Do you really plan to spend the rest of your life taking care of Santiago?"

"I don't know. But how can I be sure I can't save him if I don't try?"

"But you're pregnant. How are you going to take care of him?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Xanthus will help. He's a doctor, so he has the knowledge. I've also talked to Louisa; she had promised to take me as a disciple. She also said it's possible for a vegetable to wake up."

Seeing that Raeleigh had made up her mind, Rossie couldn't say more, so she got out of the car.

She only went back in after watching the car leave. Zorion came out of the house and walked to Rossie, asking, "What did Raeleigh want from you?" "She moved out of Waverly Village, into the Richards Group Manor."

Zorion looked in the direction in which the car had left. Thinking of the fact that Santiago had returned, he looked at Rossie. "Then why did she come to see you?"

Rossie didn't answer. Zorion hugged her tightly and asked, "What the hell are you actually trying?"

"Pigs can fly if men are reliable. I want to be independent and start my own business. When my business grows as big as your family's, your father might finally accept me."

In actuality, Rossie was merely speaking without thinking.

Zorion raised his eyebrows. "Says who? I'm reliable."

"Yeah, right."

"So you're only going to believe if you see a pig fly?"

Amused, Rossie teased, "You've actually seen a pig fly?"

He probably has never even seen a pig in his life.

"I'll make a pig fly then."

Zorion narrowed his eyes as if he had made an oath.

Jenna did not think Raeleigh would actually come to the Richards Group Manor with her luggage and

Xanthus with her.

"Raeleigh, why are you here?" Jenna looked back at Hansen. She had already quarreled with him, but he never spoke; she was the only one yelling the entire time.

Raeleigh said, "I've given it some thought; it's inconvenient for Santiago to recuperate in Waverly Village. It's better to stay here, and you don't have to worry either."

"But you..."

"I know. If I can't take care of Santiago, I will let you know. Plus, Xanthus will help. There will be others coming to help me out in a couple of days."

"Auntie, I hope to have the Green Jade Garden to myself. You and Uncle Hansen can come over, but you can't stay.

Stumped, Jenna didn't know where Raeleigh was going with it.

Jenna had wanted to say something when Hansen got up from the rocking chair. "Let's pack up and go to Ink Garden."
