Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1676

The only people that Zorion couldn't live without were Rossie and his nephews. If Jacky were to take them back with him, Zorion would never agree to it. They looked like carbon copies of Jacky, but they'd grown up under Zorion's watch. If they were to just leave all of a sudden, Zorion definitely be extremely bothered.

For this reason, Zorion would only indulge Jacky. He could enter and leave the Whalen family house as he wished. Deanna could also leave freely if she wished to. Zorion had already stopped controlling her.

After all, other than Jacky, no one else would be as nice to Deanna. Even Zorion had already acknowledged it.

Furthermore, Jacky had always been willing to leave his children in the hands of the Whalen family. This action was enough to show them his sincerity.

Zorion wasn't a fool either. Since Jacky had left his children in the Whalen family for the sake of Deanna, he could ignore Jacky coming and going freely for the sake of the children.

Aside from Zorion, Jepherson was also a topic of conversation. People were talking about how Jacky was so important that even Jepherson came to support him by attending the banquet.

It was not that Raeleigh didn't hear what those people were saying. She merely glanced at them and looked around at the attendees of the banquet.

In truth, Jepherson had taken the opportunity to reduce his public presence when he'd missed out on the top ten outstanding young men competition. This was so that Jacky could be the centre of attention.

Raeleigh knew very well that Jepherson was extremely shrewd. If he didn't have absolute confidence in Jacky, he wouldn't have helped him become mayor.

Raeleigh suddenly felt that it would be terrifying to be in a relationship with someone like this.

Everyone went around greeting people and then returned to their seats.

They awaited Jacky's arrival.

Soon, a few people came over to Raeleigh's table. They sat down and merely nodded in greeting.

However, the people who came later surprised Raeleigh.

Louisa was surprised to see Raeleigh here. She was even more surprised that they were at the

same table.

Raeleigh was also surprised by Colston's appearance, but she did not say anything to them.

Since she could pretend to have amnesia in front of Flynt, she could do the same with Colston and Louisa.

"Raeleigh." Louisa greeted Raeleigh, but Raeleigh did not answer. She just continued staring at Louisa, then turned to Rossie and asked, "Do I know her?"

Rossie got caught in their crossfire but she smiled and said, "You do know each other. We stayed together for some time but we lost contact. Also, she helped us in Zorion's stomach problems and also Santiago's illness."

"I see." Raeleigh looked at the both of them and smiled.

Louisa was puzzled by her estranged attitude.

Colston pulled out a chair for Louisa to sit. After sitting down himself, he took the initiative to talk to Raeleigh and asked her, "When did you come back?"

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson but said nothing.

Only then did Jepherson look at Colston and say, "You've got the wrong person. She's not the Raeleigh you know."

Colston looked puzzled. "Then who is she?" "Don't ask."

Jepherson didn't want to explain, nor did he need to. After he said that, he looked to the front. At this time, Jacky came in dressed in a black suit with a white shirt. Because of his height, he looked better than normal people.

Jacky had trimmed his hair before coming, so he looked a little more spirited than he was on television that morning.

When Jacky appeared, he was walking next to Deanna, looking more like he was her subordinate.

When they arrived at the banquet, Deanna turned to look at Jacky. The person behind Jacky led them to their table.

Jacky went over to Raeleigh's table and pulled out a chair for Deanna before saying a few words of welcome, rather than giving a special speech.

Since Jacky was already the new mayor, the guests were naturally respectful towards him. This was especially true for those who were present. They felt greatly valued and were more than willing to play along with Jacky.

However, some people wondered why Flynt wasn't present.

There was then another round of discussion.

After Jacky finished speaking, he looked towards Raeleigh and smiled, "You're back?"

Raeleigh also smiled at Jacky, but she didn't reply. Since she had already pretended not to know Colston and Louisa, there was no way she could know Jacky.

Raeleigh did not respond. Deanna looked at Raeleigh and asked, "Have you forgotten about us so quickly? Have I changed that much?"

Deanna sounded like she was both joking and questioning Raeleigh at the same time. She wasn't upset, and her joy was obvious.

Raeleigh said, "Of course I remember. We just met yesterday." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Happiness was written all over Deanna's face. When she smiled, her eyes narrowed into slits. "I knew it."

Only then did Jacky sit down. He didn't question Raeleigh's answer. Since she said that they'd only met the day before, then that was it.

"Cheers, Mr. Richards."

Jacky didn't speak to anyone at the table, only saying this to Jepherson. Jepherson raised his wineglass. Everyone knew that Jepherson stayed away from women and alcohol. On this night, not only had he brought a woman with him, he was even raising his wineglass for Jacky.

The people around them were a little surprised, but most of them did not dare to talk about it.

There was a reason for Jacky's arrival. If Jepherson wasn't backing him up, it would not be so easy for him to get to the top.

After some niceties, Deanna and Jepherson changed seats. Deanna sat next to Raeleigh to talk to her and get to know her better. The table was huge and there were many people present. There would never be a shortage of topics to talk about, and that was the purpose of this banquet.

Although Jacky hadn't specifically mentioned anything, he definitely had some benefits to reap from gathering all of these people together.

This way, no one could hear anything. Deanna became even happier as she chatted away.

Raeleigh merely gazed at her and smiled while listening to her. She didn't contribute much to the conversation.

Deanna, however, was a chatterbox. The moment she sat down next to Raeleigh, she started asking question after question that Raeleigh didn't even know what to do. She just continued to eat.

Everyone at the table was talking, but only Raeleigh was focused on eating.

There were some people who were curious about who Raeleigh really was. Since Jepherson had brought her with him, she couldn't possibly be the type of woman that was not worth mentioning in public, could she?
