Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1595

Raeleigh felt that there was someone in the crowd looking at her, but when she looked carefully at those workers, she found that all of them had turned their backs to her. This made it hard for her to distinguish who had peeked at her among the crowd.

In the evening, Raeleigh mentioned this matter to Xanthus, who was more apprehensive than Raeleigh. The next day, he assembled all the workers to make sure that there were no suspicious people among them. After repeated inquiries, he discovered that there were indeed two new workers in the group.

'Are you guys new here?" Xanthus's eyes landed on the two of them. One of them had a scar on his face. He lowered his head slightly, appearing to be unsociable.

"Raise your head." Xanthus didn't want to overlook any possibility that might cause harm to Raeleigh.

The man opposite to him raised his head slowly and gazed at Xanthus. At a glance, Xanthus was surprised to see that his face had been scalded. The scar on his face made him look menacing.

His eyes seemed familiar to Xanthus, who intended to inquire about something. Meanwhile, the other new worker said, "My brother is mute because he was caught in a great fire during his childhood. Many parts of his body were scalded and his vocal cord was damaged. He had a nice- sounding name originally, but the people in our former village had been calling him 'Callis'. I was too young when the fire happened, hence I couldn't remember what his original name was. My brother was traumatized by the fire, and he has forgotten his past. My parents died early, thus I took my brother out of the village. Some time ago, we passed by this village and heard that there were some job vacancies here, so we came here to work."

Xanthus asked, "You don't have a name?"

"My name is Leander Wyld. As for my brother, everyone calls him Callis."

Leander explained but Xanthus still couldn't put his mind at ease. He asked, "When you applied for the job, did you provide your health certificate? Or something like that?"

"We don't have a health certificate but we do have our ID cards."

Leander had dark skin and a full set of white teeth. So did Callis despite his scarred appearance. Xanthus couldn't perceive anything special with them. All he could tell was that both of them were tall and had the same constitution as the other workers. It was probably because of their strenuous work all year round that they had a tall and rangy figure.

"Show me your ID cards then." When Xanthus was speaking, Raeleigh had come over. She followed him and looked at the two new workers. Unexpectedly, the two of them also eyeballed her.

Callis wanted to crack a grin when he saw Raeleigh but Leander told him, "Don't simply smile at any pretty girl that appears in front of you. It's displeasing."

After hearing Leander's words, Callis lowered his head.

Leander said, "My brother likes to smile whenever he sees beautiful girls. He also likes to follow them. I hope you don't mind that."

Xanthus said coldly, "ID cards, please."

Leander took out their ID cards and handed them over to Xanthus, who then compared them one by one. From the photo, Callis actually looked attractive if there weren't a scar on his face. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Returning the ID cards to Leander, Xanthus asked, "Does your brother have a bad temper, such as engaging in violent behaviors when he is irritated?" "No, he is very cooperative. He just likes to beam at the pretty girls and look at them," Leander explained.

Xanthos took a gander at Raeleigh, who was beside him, and said, "Stop ambling around here. Go back."

Raeleigh wore a smile. "Bye then."

Raeleigh turned around and walked back. Xanthus said, "Show me your hand."

Leander extended his hand to Xanthus, who surveyed it and found that his palm was covered with calluses.

"Your turn," Xanthus said to Callis. Callis stretched out his hand to Xanthus. After checking it, Xanthus said, "You may leave now."

Standing in the distance, Raeleigh observed the workers. As they left to work, she strolled down the street.

Xanthus went to look for Raeleigh. When they met, Raeleigh asked him, "Did you suspect that they are bad guys?"

"We must always be vigilant so as not to be harmed."

"Then did you find anything suspicious?" Raeleigh quirked her eyebrow and looked at Xanthus. In her mind, he was afraid of his own shadows. In fact, she just said it casually but he had taken it seriously.

Xanthus shook his head. "Nothing. It's just bizarre that such a tall and thin man appears to be so ugly."

"Wasn't it because of the fire?"

Raeleigh said casually and Xanthus replied, "I've seen their rough hands. It seems that they weren't lying. However, the fact that two strangers suddenly appeared here and stay us does strike me as odd."

Raeleigh didn't reply. Regardless of whether it was something unusual, it had already happened. Raeleigh had nothing to comment on. She just followed Xanthus to stroll on the street.

After that, Xanthus asked if Raeleigh had received any news from Jacky. In response to the question, Raeleigh shook her head. "Not yet. I think he hasn't found her. If he has, he will notify us."

"There's no way Stella can be invisible. She must be in Waverly Village. If she can't be found, she must have hidden well. It means that someone in the village helped her."

"Raeleigh, why don't we go to the university?" Xanthus stopped in his tracks.

Raeleigh replied in amusement, "Capital City and Waverly Village are only so big. Where can we go? We will be found even if we go to the ends of the Earth, never mind Capital City. Technology today is way too advanced. Stella can murder people without leaving her shelter."

Raeleigh turned around and sauntered along the street. "I always feel that Stella is watching me and observing my every movement from somewhere. If I leave, she will follow me. If that's the case, I might as well stay here and lure her out."

"Raeleigh, why are you so..."

"I know what I'm doing. Trust me. This time, I won't let anyone hurt me again."

Raeleigh had a painful feeling at the thought of Jepherson's leniency with Stella. This kind of pain was somewhat numbing. She didn't hate Jepherson, but she couldn't forgive him. In her eyes, he had been muddling along in life.

If it had not been for Stella, then those accidents that took place in the past might not have happened.

Failing to bring Raeleigh around, Xanthus could only stay in Waverly Village with her.

In the morning, they did nothing but just rambled around the streets. In the afternoon, Xanthus went to provide medical consultation for the villagers. With nothing to do, Raeleigh followed him. However, she got a sudden inspiration for her design so she went back.

Xanthus was not relieved to let her leave alone but Raeleigh convinced him that it would be fine.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Raeleigh saw the workers walking in her direction as soon as she stepped out of the door. She stopped and looked at them, not knowing what they were talking about. They seemed to be joking as they swept their eyes over her while guffawing. Raeleigh gazed at Callis, who also stared at her at the beginning. But he kept his head lowered when everyone began guffawing.

Raeleigh did not care much. She turned around and went home. At thought of being laughed at by those workers, her inspiration fled and she didn't manage to design anything.

Holding a pen, Raeleigh knocked on her forehead with her fist as her mind was blank. She gave up after a moment.

She got up and went out to buy some fruits, only to find that Callis had also come out to purchase fruits. He followed Leander quietly. When Leander asked him which fruit he preferred, he gave no response. After that, Leander ignored him and proceeded to pick fruits on his own.

Raeleigh bought several apples and eyeballed Callis curiously.

"Are you afraid of me?" Raeleigh took the initiative to ask Callis, who answered by shaking his head. Leander cast a glance back at them before smiling strangely. It was as though the

conversation was humorous. He went on picking fruits, leaving Callis behind with Raeleigh.
