Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1639

Raeleigh looked up at Jepherson in shock. At first, she didn't understand, but soon she realized that Jepherson did it on purpose.

True enough...

"So it turns out trust can fade away?"

Jepherson pushed the dining car aside, turned on his heel and headed for the door as he spoke, "I remember it wasn't like this before."

Raeleigh straightened up and stared at Jepherson's retreating back. She didn't point out that even her trust towards someone had a time limit. To say nothing of the fact that he kept testing them repeatedly, even a strong- willed person would buckle underneath the pressure and their trust for him would erode away.

Jepherson stepped out of the room and leaned against the wall outside to wait for Raeleigh. It was a first for Stuart to see Jepherson like this. He didn't kick up a fuss, neither did he vent out his temper. He looked as if his soul had been spirited away, and now all that's left was a terrifying, lonely shell; a shadow of his former self.

Stuart tactfully hid in one corner while Jepherson waited for Raeleigh outside by the door all by his lonesome. His head was tilted back against the wall, with his hands behind his back when Raeleigh eventually came out.

Raeleigh didn't expect not to find anyone outside the moment she pushed open the door. The first person she was going to look for was Stuart. She looked around but found no sign of his presence when her eyes landed on Jepherson who had been standing at the side. A chill momentarily suffused through her whole body.

But then she took note of his chalk white face, as if he had suffered an incurable disease and was now all pale and wan.

An entire body filled with vicissitudes of life could only bring innumerable sadness.

Raeleigh stood there and waited for Jepherson to open his eyes. However, instead of doing so, he reached out a hand and proceeded to pull Raeleigh into his arms. "I'm curious, why is there only my scent on your body to this date?"

Raeleigh froze. Could something like this even be sensed?

"Sometimes I'm in a good mood." she replied.

Jepherson broke out into a smile and stroked Raeleigh's back. "Have you ever thought about visiting Lamarre?"

Raeleigh was a little surprised to hear Lamarre's name. She pushed away from Jepherson then, who added seriously, "If you want to see Lamarre, you must accompany me."

"You can't do this."

"Then what should I do?" Jepherson retorted. Raeleigh calmed down and stood there looking at the mulish man in front of her. "Give me back my phone and wallet. I not only need to spend money, but also contact my family."

"You don't need these two things when you're with me. Even if you need them, there's still me."

Jepherson gave his own mobile phone to Raeleigh. She took it and dialled Xanthus's number who picked up at the first ring.

"Jepherson..."

"Brother, it's me."

"Raeleigh." When he heard her voice, Xanthus turbulent emotions calmed a little.

"Brother, I'm very safe now. Jepherson and I are talking things over about Cynthia. He already promised to release her, but there are still some things to discuss."

Raeleigh peeked over at Jepherson, then trekked further away from him when she made her call. She caught sight of the lavatory sign and pushed the door open to head inside.

"Raeleigh, you tell him, whatever matters he has, he can take it up with me."

"Brother, you shouldn't stress yourself on this. This matter isn't that serious. Even though Jepherson is somewhat unscrupulous, he is very clear on what the hidden principle of this matter is. He won't hurt Cynthia. No matter whether it's for my sake, or for Santiago's sake.

I feel that Cynthia hasn't been brought out, moreover, she is with Jared and you know Jared. For that reason, take this time to look for her while

I hold him back."

"But you..."

"Don't mind so much about me. I have a few tricks up my sleeves. The only thing I'm worried about now is the Doyle family. They'll be coming for me."

The brother and sister pair talked over various topics before they finally hung up the phone.

When Raeleigh came out of the lavatory, Jepherson came out from the men's lavatory at the same time.

Raeleigh looked at him strangely. "You were in the toilet too?"

"This is my place. Don't tell me that you can go in, but I can't?"

Raeleigh had no words to say to that. She returned the mobile phone to Jepherson and said, "I still hope that you can return my phone back to me."

"We can talk about the phone later. Let's go to the company first. I have something to attend to." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jepherson put away his phone and brought Raeleigh to the company with him.

From the moment they got into the car until they reached their destination, Raeleigh brought up Cynthia again. Jepherson just stared at her with his deep, dark eyes and said nothing, as if he could shut Raeleigh up with his stare alone.

Raeleigh stopped asking since she couldn't get any answers from him, thus it was meaningless for her to continue.

After they entered the building, Raeleigh asked Jepherson, "Is my mentor in the company?"

Raeleigh had tried to contact Lamarre for the past two years, but the line always went dead. She had also asked many of the design teams, but no one had seen even his shadow.

If this time she could get to meet Lamarre, it would be an unexpected stroke of luck for her.

Jepherson marched up to a door and stopped. He looked in her direction and replied, "I will take you there, but what can you give me in exchange? Or how do you want to thank me?"

Raeleigh pursed her lips. How could she express her gratitude?

Sleep with him?

Raeleigh's dainty face scrunched up a little into a dirty expression, but she stayed silent. She just looked at Jepherson calmly. Without waiting for her response, he turned back around and pulled

Raeleigh along behind him and into the company.

When they entered through the door, the staff of Richards Group didn't expect to see her. They had never seen Raeleigh before and were extremely shocked. Mr. Richards had never had a girlfriend. There were some small stars who had collaborated with the company who wanted to stick themselves to him. But every single time he would give them the cold shoulder and refused.

They also heard through the grapevine that some ladies from distinguished families took the initiative to come into contact with Mr. Richards. But in the end, they were all rejected by him, with the claim that he had a wife.

Therefore, up until now, Mr. Richards had alway been the most sought after diamond in the social scene, so why that day...

Everyone stared at Jepherson who came in through the door in high spirits with a woman in hand. This kind of scene was like that of a pair of lovers who were madly in love with each other.

There's even a smile at the corner of Mr. Richards's mouth. His eyes were full of tenderness...

"Mr. Richards."

"Mr. Richards."

Everyone greeted Jepherson when Stuart suddenly said from behind, "Mr. Jepherson, Madam Raeleigh's bag."

Raeleigh was stunned. Jepherson turned around and took the bag being handed to him. She looked at him with an indescribable, complex expression. Was that on purpose?

After Jepherson took her bag, he continued his trek towards the private elevator as he ordered, "Call all departments for a meeting."

Stuart opened the elevator and Jepherson brought Raeleigh in, her hand still grasped tightly in his.

The sliver of a moment before the doors closed, Raeleigh heard everyone break out into an excited discussion. Many pairs of eyes with a strange look inside them looked their way until the elevator doors finally slid shut and blocked their sight.
