Go After My Ex-wife

"Nope, still single," Xanthus answered calmly, sitting aside.

Belle observed for a while. "Do you have any girls you like? If not, then I can introduce one for you."

"Well..."

Slightly embarrassed, Xanthus glanced at Raeleigh. Calvin's face darkened, sitting on one side impatiently. He thought Xanthus was fighting with his son for Raeleigh's affection!

However, Belle was different. Raeleigh's expression of holding back her laughter had not escaped Belle, and she guessed that there might be nothing between them.

"He has someone in his heart." The door was pushed open and Santiago strolled in. Belle looked at her youngest son and was stunned for a moment. "Santiago! Why are you here? Where's your brother?" "He needs to take care of Stuart, so he didn't come over." Santiago entered the room and closed the door of the ward. He took off his coat and hung them to one side. Then, he poured some water and drank.

Belle looked at him. "You said Xanthus has someone he likes. Who is it?"

Sipping his water, Santiago said, "Cynthia Cole."

Belle was stunned. "Cynthia?"

Belle had a deep relationship with the Cole family, so she knew all about them. She also knew about Yousif's multiple wives. Among the children of the Cole family, the most outstanding one was Yousif's son, Flynt. His two older sisters were Yanora and Cynthia.

Some time ago, because of Yanora, Cynthia had wreaked havoc in the city. Yousif had even called Calvin to say that they had already become in-laws.

Later, they had learnt that she was the woman their youngest son, Santiago, liked.

Belle was a little confused as she stared at him. "Isn't Cynthia your girlfriend?"

Although her son was young, he was mature, and Belle was very open-minded. She even thought that it was nothing.

Moreover, he had grown up and naturally had someone he liked. Belle felt very fortunate that he had an interest in pursuing romantic relationships.

However, if someone else liked his girlfriend, then how could he take it all in?

Belle eyed him from head to toe with her beautiful eyes. He was not one who was easy to deal with.

Santiago glanced at Xanthus, whose face was slightly red. He sat down beside his father and glanced at him as he raised his leg, with his ankle on his knee. "Cynthia led a very unhappy life with the Cole family. We were close friends. In order to help me, she caused a very unpleasant fuss with her family. I said that we were engaged only because I wanted to help her. After that, I sent her abroad in order to allow her to live out her life, free of abuse. Nothing happened between us."

"But he, on the other hand, really likes Cynthia."

Santiago raised his chin, and Belle widened her eyes. "What in the world?"

"And Raeleigh is his younger sister." Santiago raised his chin and told Belle the story briefly.

In the beginning, Belle was reeling in disbelief. Even Calvin was surprised by Raeleigh's family background.

The story ended, and Belle turned to look at Raeleigh. "Is it true?"

Raeleigh wore an awkward expression on her face. She did not want anyone to know about this matter. It could be said that the fewer people knew about it, the better. She did not expect that someone else would be privy to it.

Raeleigh glanced at Santiago. She didn't know what he was going to do and why he said it out loud.

When Raeleigh didn't answer, Xanthus said, "That's true. Mr. Jepherson, while looking for his sister, made some errors in the process. As a matter of fact, I am Raeleigh's real brother and we did a DNA test jus to prove it. She is definitely my sister."

"You are..."

Belle wanted to ask further, but Xanthus said, "My parents are archaeologists. We used to live abroad. Just now, Santiago has made it clear what happened in the beginning. My mother was kidnapped and was forced to give Raeleigh away."

"Your family is abroad. Then, are you going to take Raeleigh away?" Belle felt that things were not that simple. Xanthus was going to take Raeleigh away.

Xanthus was also aware of the Harvey family's capabilities, so he said, "We can't leave for the time being. Stuart may need my help, and Rae's condition is not good either. I want to nurse her back to health for the moment."

Belle looked up at the tight bandage on Raeleigh's head and felt a little worried. It seemed that Xanthus was not a person who could be easily won over in a negotiation.

Raeleigh had encountered so many things, and she had lost her child. What was more, it was because of Jerry.

"Xanthus, look, I'm very fond of Raeleigh. I have also decided that she is my daughter-in-law. Please don't break the couple up."

Belle patted Xanthus's hand, after which Xanthus said, "Mrs. Harvey, you're too serious. As for the marriage, the partners themselves will have to take matters into their own hands, I will not interfere."

"I can see that you are a very open person. I can rest assured if you say so. How about you join us for a meal? I'm staying for the day."

Belle felt that at that time, she could not leave Raeleigh and Xanthus alone. She would need to stay and lead Raeleigh back to the path she had mapped out for her.

Calvin's expression sank. He liked to be alone with his wife.

"Santiago, get ready. We'll have dinner later. I'm worried about Raeleigh. We'd better stay and take care of her."

"Ah..."

The moment Raeleigh opened her mouth, Belle cast a pitiful look at her. Then, Raeleigh said, "It's okay, though. You are also very tired and in poor health. Besides, you need to take care of..." Raeleigh did not know how to deal with it. Belle seized the chance and said, "It's OK. Mr. Harvey and I have tons of time to kill. We'll still have something to do when we're taking care of you." Belle made an excuse to stay. Xanthus took a look at Raeleigh and said nothing.

Santiago arranged the meals, and they began to eat.

After eating, Belle accompanied Raeleigh to inquire about the issue with her and devised the solutions.

Her daughter-in-law had been wronged, so she couldn't sit back and do nothing.

Raeleigh didn't say much. She just thought that no matter how much she said, Belle couldn't help with the matter between her and Jepherson.

Soon, a day passed. Calvin was tired and expressed the intention to go back.

"Calvin, let's stay here. Her parents are not around, and she lacks the love of her parents since she was a child. If we leave, then only Xanthus will be left here. If anything happens, then we won't be able to reach her in time."

"It'll be fine, there are doctors and nurses. Santiago is also here."

Xanthus made a suggestion, to which Raeleigh added, "I'm fine actually, I just had a minor bump on my head."

"It could lead to a concussion. There will be side effects in the future. Don't be careless, I think it's better if I stay." Belle insisted on staying, but Calvin was really sleepy and wanted to go home. He was like a child, nuzzling against his wife, holding her tightly. How could Belle not feel it?

In the end, it was Santiago who ordered them to leave. "Just go home, please. If you need anything, then you can come back for a visit. Also, remember to drop by at Grandma's and ask her what show she's gonna put up this time."

Santiago's words reminded Belle about something, so she went back obediently.

As soon as Calvin stepped out of the house, he felt that something was amiss.
