Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1757 Late Night

Everyone looked towards Jared as he was chased out by Jepherson, whose face had turned harsh.

Stuart saw the whole scene and quickly went after Jared.

"What are you doing?"

Although Stuart and Jared were both brought in by Aron, the two of them seldom mingle together. They

didn't see much of each other even when they were young. Other than the fact that they weren't in the

same cliques, Jared loved to play with Santiago more back then.

Despite that, they still retained a pretty good relationship.

Aron said once before, to treat Jared as a brother.

Therefore, Stuart would not leave Jared alone.

Jared did not respond to his query, he just stood there with his gaze focused on the scenery outside.

Stuart also felt impressed at this point. Why was it that people who interacted with Raeleigh all got

turned around by her?

"Don't go down the same path as Mr. Santiago. You should know, in Mr. Jepherson's eyes, that there

are no two Mr. Santiagos. Our identities, when all is said and done, are different. Besides, if even Mr.

Jepherson couldn't be a twinkle in Raeleigh's eyes, what about you?"

"It's none of your business. I just don't like Austin. When I see him, I'll kill him." Jared muttered.

"Don't simply say kill as you please. Otherwise, there will come a day when it will be your turn."

Stuart turned back after he had said his piece. It was pointless to continue when their words couldn't

get through.

Jared stood there for a little longer before he stalked away someplace else and disappeared into the

shadows within a blink of an eye.

Raeleigh had sat in the room for quite a while. She didn't want to mention the elephant in the room, yet

neither could she talk about it.

"I'm going to pack up. Brother, come with me please."

Raeleigh stood and headed upstairs. Xanthus followed in her wake with the intention to talk over her

departure. When they were inside Raeleigh's room, Xanthus immediately voiced his disagreement on

her leaving. However, Raeleigh just stared at him without any other reaction. A few minutes later,

Xanthus eventually relented, "Be careful."

Raeleigh wore a beaming smile, "My brother is still the most sensible."

"Hmph, do you want to mess with me for the rest of my life?"

"If I can use this to mess with my brother for a lifetime, doesn't that mean that we will all live to a

hundred years old?"

Raeleigh walked towards Xanthus, who felt begrudged and said, "I can't accompany you this time.

Maverly is already..."

"She's yours now?" Xanthus couldn't say it, hence Raeleigh helped him finish it.

"Maverly and I have a ten years age gap. I can't just ignore her. Her father may not approve of us,

therefore I have to stay and accompany her until her father comes back. I need to explain this to him."

"I know, or I wouldn't have planned to let you go. Let me handle all these matters. Once I get there, I

will think of ways to protect myself. Don't worry."

...

After the brother and sister pair had their talk, Raeleigh began to pack up. Xanthus didn't rest much as

he stayed up the whole night to accompany her. When it became late, Jepherson went to Raeleigh's

room and knocked on her door. Xanthus only then returned to his room and took Maverly with him.

The next morning, Raeleigh and Xanthus had a reunion dinner at home, and then went to the company

to make some arrangements. Jepherson's people had already rushed themselves to Bloom Aksea

Group. As they had yet to arrive, Raeleigh was a little uneasy and waited a little longer.

It's been the third day since Jepherson's people had arrived. Raeleigh made arrangements in the

company and handover matters. By the third day, she went back together with Jepherson.

Even as she was about to board the plane, she didn't turn her head back. Jepherson asked her, "You're C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

just leaving like this?"

"What else?"

Jepherson put his hand on her waist with the intent to embrace her, but Raeleigh pushed it away with

nary a glance. "Best be a little more respectful."

Jepherson's face darkened. Not bothered by his expression, Raeleigh went ahead and boarded the

plane.

On the day of their return to Capital City, Raeleigh intended to go to Waverly Village first. She decided

to do so after she got off the plane.

In the end, Jepherson didn't allow it and brought her straight to the Harvey family.

The car had pulled to a stop, but Raeleigh didn't get off. Jepherson told her to get down but she

refused and said, "I'm already a married woman and have no right to be here. You better not make

things difficult for me."

"You want me to carry you then?"

Jepherson's body blocked the door with no plans to leave. Raeleigh remained silent all the way to the

end as she refused to get down from the car. Jepherson then simply bent over, went in and carried

Raeleigh out.

Forced as she was to leave the car, Raeleigh's wore a surly expression but didn't say anything. And

that's how Jepherson carried her from the car and through the mansion's door.

Once they arrived at the Harvey Group's Manor, Jepherson said, "It's another new year's eve, but there

isn't the usual hustle and bustle here. There's only loneliness."

Raeleigh looked at him, "Isn't there anyone else at home?"

"My grandparents went to a nursing home. What my grandmother did to you the last time, even my

grandfather felt that it was inappropriate and took her away. Santiago's illness had never gotten better,

now even my father had left with my mother. This yard was the quietest time we had compared to the

last few years. Fortunately, you're back. Otherwise, I wouldn't live here and just leave it empty."

Jepherson took a few steps before he looked back at Raeleigh. "Why aren't you moving?"

Raeleigh pondered for a moment and then stepped forward. Once they stopped, she looked towards

Jepherson. He had brought them back to the Fragrance Garden and to the room where Santiago had

lived before. He requested for someone to clean it up and said to Raeleigh, "You can live here."

Raeleigh turned on her heel and went to another room. Once inside, she asked for someone to tidy it

up.

The servants were a little surprised to see Raeleigh, but they kept silent. Mr. Jepherson finally came

back at long last. Otherwise, there would only be the servants in the Harvey Group Manor.

On the first day of their return Raeleigh slept through the night, until she heard the sound of her door

being opened. She opened her eyes and looked outside. The light in the room had been switched off.

Who else could it be other than Jepherson?

Raeleigh slowly got up from the bed as Jepherson turned around after he closed the door. He held

something in his hand with which he used it to lock the door from the inside.

Raeleigh sat up and said nervously, "Jepherson, you can't go too far. I am already here. Why do you

need to lock the door?"

"Don't you know?" Jepherson stalked towards her in his pajamas. The weather was cold and the room

was dark, thus the moonlight outside was not visible through the gloom. She was only able to see a

little when he came in. At this time, the room was in total darkness and Raeleigh became more and

more nervous.

But Jepherson said, "I suddenly remembered that the weather is extremely cold, and this room is

equally just as cold. Your quilt must be chilly by now, so I came to warm you up."

"What nonsense. It's warm here. Get out quickly, or I'll get angry."

Raeleigh turned on the light just as Jepherson reached her side. He sat down and touched her face.

"You wanted to know why I'm here. Why don't I show you with my actions? Is that fine with you?"

Raeleigh's face suddenly turned stormy. She wanted to do something but was already pushed down by

Jepherson.
