Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1827

Raeleigh's breakfast was eaten by Jepherson. Raeleigh still felt tired when she woke up. Perhaps it was because age was catching up to her. As she lay in bed, she felt as if she lacked energy.

Jepherson, who was sitting on the other side of the bed, was buttoning up his white shirt with his back to Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked like she was asleep, but in fact, she was too tired to open her eyes.

Raeleigh closed her eyes and flipped over on the bed after a long time. By then, she had already fallen asleep.

Jepherson stood up and briefly glanced at Raeleigh. Then, he turned around and walked out the door. He gently closed the door behind him and instructed the person guarding the door, "Please keep an eye on her."

"Yes, Mr. Richards."

After that, Jepherson made his way to the hotel elevator, where he was greeted by an anxious looking person.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Richards. I had no idea that you were the president of the Richards Group. I am not sure what Miss Anson did to offend you, but I hope that you can forgive her. Please let Miss Anson go and we can discuss how to resolve this matter."

Raeleigh's assistant, Kenny said. He sounded a little panicky. He had been working for Raeleigh for more than a year, but this was the first time he had come across such a problem.

Jepherson glanced over at Kenny. "Does Miss Anson have a daughter?"

"Yes." Kenny was a little confused. He wondered whether Jepherson was planning on kidnapping Raeleigh's daughter?

"Is her name Shaney?"

Kenny immediately nodded. "Yes!"

"She is my only heir. Do you know what that means?" Jepherson looked Kenny straight in the eyes. At that moment, Kenny put two and two together and immediately realised something.

"Miss Anson is..."

"Miss Anson is my wife. We had a misunderstanding a couple years ago, so she took Shaney away. This is the reason why I came here to see her."

"But..." Kenny was even more confused. Jepherson said, "I used Imperium Building as a cover to lure her over here, but I did specifically set up the company just for her. Not everything

here is nonexistent."

After saying that, Jepherson turned around and looked at his bodyguard.

Jepherson said, "Can you please inform Mr. and Madam Richards that Madam Raeleigh is back?"

After saying that, Jepherson turned around and he glanced at Kenny. Then, he said, "You can leave if you have nothing else."

It took a while for Kenny to come back to his senses. He asked, "What about Miss Anson?"

"She will be fine. The doctor said that she should stay off her feet for one week. I think you know what it means."

After saying that, Jepherson went back to the room. Kenny stood there and wondered whether it was really the doctor's orders or Jepherson just made it up?

Kenny then immediately called Xanthus. When Xanthus received the call, he was on his way to the hospital with Maverly, who was about to give birth. This was their third child in five years.

Xanthus was surprised when he received Kenny's call. He frowned and asked, "Did you see Jepherson?"

"Yes, I did. He told me..."

"What did he say?"

Xanthus's face sank slightly. He had already warned Raeleigh not to go back, but she still could not resist the offer.

"He said that Miss Shaney is his only heir."

"Hmph! He's shameless! Why did he not find her back then? Why now? When Shaney is all grown up. I wondered what he was up to? Nothing falls from the sky. It's alright, I know what to do. I am a little busy now. You do what you have to do. I'll be over in a few days."

It was not that Xanthus was worried about Raeleigh's safety because he knew that Jepherson would not simply hurt her.

Kenny had no idea.

When Jepherson entered the room, Raeleigh was still sleeping. He walked over to her side of the bed to check on her feet. After making sure that her feet were fine, he then took a seat on the couch. After a while, he stood up and went to lay on the bed. He put his hand on Raeleigh's. Although they had been separate for several years, all of a sudden it seemed like someone had turned back the clock.

In the past five years, a lot has changed. Both he and Raeleigh had changed. The only thing that remained unchanged was his heart.

Soon, Jepherson fell asleep. The two of them spent the entire day sleeping in the room. They were both exhausted and did not wake up until the next morning.

When Raeleigh woke up the next morning, she felt the pain all over her body. Just when she moved, Jepherson immediately got up from the side and pressed down on Raeleigh's body. Then, he lifted Raeleigh's injured foot. Raeleigh gasped, "Jepherson, you are crazy, this...is.."

Before Raeleigh could finish her words, Jepherson had already covered her mouth. She tried her best to shrug off his hand, but he was not in a hurry to do anything. Raeleigh wanted to reject his advances, but then...

Raeleigh was nestled in the quilt. She held the quilt and could barely keep her eyes opened. She was still exhausted and lacked energy. Even if Jepherson wanted to do something, she had no strength to refuse.

After a long time, Jepherson lit a cigarette and sat on the bed to smoke. Raeleigh smelt the smoke and turned to look at Jepherson. "Since when do you smoke?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Since a long time ago. Did you not know?"

Raeleigh knew that Jepherson smoked, but she did not know that he was addicted to it.

After taking two puffs, Jepherson put the cigarette into the ashtray and turned to Raeleigh. "What are you looking at?"

"Mr. Richards..."

"Jepherson."

Raeleigh was silent for a moment. "I think we should have a good talk. After all, you are Shaney's father."

"What's there to talk about?" Jepherson rose to his feet. He was swollen with inordinate arrogance. It was as if this was all Raeleigh's fault.

Raeleigh got up from the bed and wrapped herself in a quilt. Jepherson had intended to go to the bathroom, but when he saw Raeleigh stand up, he sat down again. "What's there to be ashamed of? I've seen everything. Are you still afraid of me?"

Raeleigh said in amusement, "Normal people will have this kind of reaction. Besides, we are no longer as close as we're used to be. The reason why I'm still here is not because I want to stay, it's because you refrain me from leaving."

"Are you telling me that you were dreaming when you were screaming underneath me yesterday?" Jepherson gave her a coy look. Raeleigh's face instantly turned red, "Obviously, it was you who forced me. In that case, I..." "Let me guess, you couldn't do anything?" Raeleigh did not answer. She did not expect that they would meet again five years later. The once gentle Jepherson seemed to have gone rogue.

Raeleigh lowered her head. "Shaney is growing up very quickly. I hope you will not come in between us. I..."

"What about the baby you had with Santiago?" Jepherson suddenly asked. Raeleigh was a little confused. She remembered back then she just said it casually because she wanted to cut ties with him. At this moment, she did not know how to justify herself.

"Where's Santiago?"

"He's busy."

"Remember yesterday you asked me, how did I know that you were here?" Jepherson asked. Raeleigh then said, "I don't remember."

At first, Raeleigh thought it was Santiago, but now she did not think so. She knew he would not do that.

But if it wasn't Santiago, then who was it?
