Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1671 Hard to Persuade

"Would you like to have something to eat?" Hudson asked Raeleigh once they were seated in the

restaurant. Raeleigh shook her head. "No, I've already eaten. You can go ahead if you haven't,

though."

"No, I've eaten as well. I can't eat much now that I'm older. After all, it's bad for health to stuff yourself

all the time."

Hudson sat opposite Raeleigh. As he spoke, he looked around the restaurant.

At this time, the restaurant was quiet.

Jepherson sat next to Raeleigh, obviously there to protect her.

His gaze was indifferent as he looked down at his feet. He seemed to be completely oblivious of

everyone else's presence.

Hudson was not bothered by this. He knew his grandson well.

He was a vengeful person!

Their family hadn't handled the matter of Raeleigh leaving well, and Jepherson still refused to move

home. He didn't even visit them during the holidays, preferring to just stay here.

If Hudson wanted Jepherson to go home, he would have to give him a direct order. Otherwise, they

wouldn't see him at all.

Well, he didn't expect much anymore as long as everyone was healthy and fine.

"Let me apologise to you for yesterday. I wanted to come during the day, but I had to wait for Paige to

fall asleep before leaving."

"Don't bear a grudge against her for my sake, please. You might be an outsider, but you're Jepherson's NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

woman."

"You should know that he wouldn't exist without his grandmother."

"Don't just look at how badly she's treating you guys now. When you were children, she poured her

heart and soul into caring for you."

"Every time you cried or fussed, she would be the one to coax and soothe you. It's just that she's

become increasingly fearful of you abandoning her as the years have slipped by."

"All grandmothers wish for their grandchildren to come to them when they get into arguments with their

mothers. They want to feel like they're the top priority."

"At the same time, this will also hurt their mothers."

"When you were children and got into fights or trouble, didn't your grandmother help you?"

"Why is that you're unable to think of your grandmother as a child when she acts unreasonably as she

ages?"

Raeleigh had yet to say anything when Jepherson said, "I don't think that's the right way to handle this.

When I was a child, I was immature and would cry and fuss. She's not an immature child, though.

She's just selfish."

Jepherson looked upset. He didn't bear any ill will towards Hudson, but if it weren't for Hudson's

indulgence, Paige wouldn't have ended up like this.

Hudson scoffed. "Don't forget that you'll grow old one day as well. Put yourself in her shoes and you'll

realise what it feels like to be old and lonely."

"Is age an excuse to act willfully?" Jepherson looked at Hudson pointedly. Hudson picked up the box of

serviettes on the table and threw it at Jepherson. "Get up."

Jepherson blinked but did not move.

"Get up." Hudson was a little upset as he looked at Jepherson coldly. Jepherson said, "It's true that I

wouldn't exist without you. You can kill me, but you can't control me."

"Raeleigh isn't obligated to just grin and bear Grandma's humiliation either."

"Get up, right now!"

Raeleigh felt extremely helpless. She felt like she was being made out to be the cause of all this

discord between a grandparent and grandchild.

"Why don't you head back first? I'll be up soon. Either that or you can wait for me outside."

Raeleigh tugged on Jepherson's hand. He didn't move, looking grim.

She said, "Get up, or I will."

They couldn't go on like this. Raeleigh was starting to feel sleepy.

Jepherson stood up furiously and turned to walk out of the restaurant. He took two steps, then turned

and looked at Raeleigh. "Don't listen to him."

Raeleigh met his gaze but remained silent.

Jepherson turned and left, but he stood just outside the restaurant.

"I won't forgive a woman who calls me a vixen because it's much too demeaning. You got angry when

your grandson said that you were acting willfully, using your age as an excuse, right?"

"I'm grateful that you were on my side all those years ago and even secretly helped me, but that's in

the past."

"I did that because I wanted to be with your grandson."

"A lot of time has passed and things have changed. I've already married someone else and I'm no

longer your grandson's wife. There's no need for me to give in to someone that doesn't have anything

to do with me."

"You're married?" Hudson's expression changed slightly. This wasn't something that he'd expected.

Also...

He looked at Raeleigh's abdomen. "Have you already had a child?"

"The child's dead!" Raeleigh didn't want to elaborate, looking anguished.

Hudson frowned. "The man you married is the child's father?"

"Yes, it's him."

...

Hudson gazed at Raeleigh for a while before saying, "Well, whatever it is, I'm just here to apologise to

you. I'll also find a way to convince Paige to accept you. I hope that you won't bear her any grudges for

everything that's happened."

"It's getting late. I'll be discovered if it's too late. I'll get going."

"That brat really needs to be taught a lesson. If you can, please do."

Hudson got up and walked out of the restaurant. Raeleigh stood there, feeling like something was

wrong. At the same time, Jepherson walked out with Hudson.

Hudson was the one who had called Jepherson to come with him. When they were outside the hotel,

Hudson turned to look at Jepherson. "Do you believe that Raeleigh's married?"

Jepherson frowned. "What do you mean?"

Hudson scoffed. "You're pretty dumb for a smart guy. Don't you know what Raeleigh's like?"

"If she didn't love you, would she have your child?"

"What are you trying to imply?" Jepherson asked, growing more and more impatient.

Hudson said, "I don't believe that Raeleigh would give birth to another person's child. You two have

been together for so long. Is it possible that she would be with someone else?"

"If not, then who's the child's father?"

Jepherson moved slightly. "But we used protection."

"What nonsense. Accidents happen even with protection. Otherwise, why would we need hospitals for?

And where would all those orphaned babies come from?"

...

Jepherson was stunned. Hudson said, "Raeleigh told me that the child is dead. Do you believe it?"

Jepherson frowned. "Raeleigh won't lie."

"What if it is to protect the child?"

Jepherson was speechless.

Protect the child?

Jepherson was a little hesitant. Hudson glanced at the hotel and said, "If the child is yours, it must still

be alive."

"Raeleigh wouldn't show up so openly and guiltlessly by your side if something had happened to the

child. Perhaps she wouldn't even show herself in front of you."

"The only thing she'd feel bad about was if the child's dead!"

Jepherson was finding it hard to wrap his mind around things. The child was his? It was alive?

Hudson checked the time and got into his car. How tiresome it was talking to such a grandson!

However, he still let out a sigh of relief. At least he hadn't wasted his time by coming, judging from

Raeleigh's attitude.

If the child was really alive, it was undoubtedly a good thing.

It would be hard to get Raeleigh to change her mind, though. She was not easily persuaded.
