Go After My Ex-wife

Lottie returned to her room and sat on the couch in a daze. Judging by Rhys's expression, she could guess that Deanna already had a sweetheart too. With a boyfriend in tow, Deanna was then the female equivalent of hoes before bros. Lottie was reeling in terror.

She sat down and thought hard, her hands and feet cold. Her daughter was so young, she thought, and this was terrible. Was Deanna being preyed upon by casanova?

Rhys walked in and took off his coat. He handed it to the servant who had hurried over to greet him.

Rhys waved his hand, indicating that the servants did not have to worry about them. Tetsuo, Lennox, walked over and relayed to Rhys everything that had happened at home. "Sir, Madam."

Lottie looked at Tetsuo and asked, "Tetsuo, where is Deanna and Zorion?"

He darted his gaze upstairs. Lottie turned around and asked, "Upstairs?"

"Yes." Tetsuo didn't know what to say, so he could only affirm it.

Rhys held Lottie's hand, rubbed it, and lowered his head slightly. "It'll be fine. Our kids are all grown up now."

Lottie's mood took a turn for the worse. Her gut feeling told her that this was trouble waiting to happen.

Rhys held her in his arms. She had always been strong, but she didn't know that she had been spoiled by him for so many years that she wasn't as strong as she used to be. Really... Rhys kissed her head and pulled her into his arms.

"Tetsuo, why don't you tell Madam Lottie about Zorion and Deanna."

"Yes, sir."

Rhys continued to kiss Lottie's forehead, listening to the stories of their children together. Tetsuo started the story with Zorion's business and linked everything together.

After he finished speaking, Lottie was somewhat puzzled. "Our Zorion is the best boy any parents could ask for. Why would he do that kind of thing? How... vulgar."

When Lottie turned her face to Rhys, he said innocently, "Don't look at me. I mean, you and I knew each other in our thirties. But during puberty, there will always be some moments when they can't control their impulses. We can't foist our idea of love on them, now, can we?"

Although this was an excuse, Lottie still accepted it, only because it was her son. But in the case of her daughter, it might be a bitter pill to swallow.

"What did you say? Deanna, Deanna, she..."

Lottie almost passed out. If Rhys hadn't held on to her, then she would have really collapsed. Her daughter was only a child, yet...

Lottie was so agitated that she cried in Rhys's arms.

Rhys raised his hand and made a "shh" gesture, indicating that she was not to speak. Lottie pressed her lips together. She really wanted to cry, feeling as though the sky was about to collapse. Rhys held her and patted her gently. He looked at Tetsuo and asked, "Have you seen this... Jacky what's-his-name?"

Tetsuo replied, "Yes, he's a handsome young man. He's as good-looking as Mr. Zorion, and even..."

Tetsuo let his sentence hang. Lottie frowned. "Even what?"

"I don't know anything about his family, but in my opinion, everything else about him is remarkable, if not better."

Lottie yelped. Rhys said, "How can you tell that?"

"The last time Miss Deanna went out was before she was grounded by the young master. However, the person who came and talked to him was Santiago, the second young master of the Harvey family." Tetsuo answered truthfully. Rhys frowned. Lottie was a little sad, but when she heard that Jacky was even better than her son, her mood grew better. After all, Deanna was in a relationship with someone who was the best of the male gender.

"Santiago is a familiar face to everyone out there." The thought of Calvin struck a raw nerve in Rhys. Calvin had even ripped Rhys off a few years back.

Was he trying to bamboozle Rhys for his money for the second time?

"It's not only Mr. Santiago, but also Mr. Jepherson. He is also very concerned about this matter. Mr. Jepherson went to bring Miss Deanna home, but she refused to return. Young Master Zorion accidentally hurt Mr. Jepherson's girlfriend. After that, Young Master Zorion has changed a lot. Later, Miss Deanna returned home and even brought Miss Scarlette with her. I heard that it was Mr. Zorion who wanted Jacky to send her back."

"What's more, after Jacky's arrival, Young Master Zorion treated him well. He even promised her that Miss Deanna will be fine."

Tetsuo answered truthfully.

Lottie couldn't make head or tail of this matter. According to her son's personality, how could he have helped Jacky Scott?

Lottie wanted to see Zorion and clarified it with him.

She stood up. "I'm going to see Zorion."

Lottie wiped her tears and went upstairs. Tetsuo followed her immediately, so did Rhys.

Tetsuo said, "Madam, Young Master Zorion is now staying in Miss Deanna's room. He's been living there for more than a week."

Lottie stopped and asked, "Then, what about Deanna?"

"She is also in the room. Young Master Zorion has been in poor health recently. He is always coughing and in bad spirits. He refuses to go back to his room. Miss Lautner has been alone in his room and seldom comes out. She only comes out during meals."

Lottie glanced at Rhys. What in the world were these children doing?

It was okay to have a quarrel, but it was abnormal to ignore one another. Don't they have any feelings?

Lottie turned around and went to Deanna's room. She knocked on the door. Deanna thought it was Lennox and called for him to come in.

Lottie pushed the door open and stood by the door, looking inside. Deanna was sitting in a chair and looking at Zorion. Zorion was lying in bed, as if he was asleep, but his eyes were opened.

Seeing Lottie and Rhys, Zorion was slightly stunned and his face changed. Seeing her brother's expression, Deanna thought that Rossie had come.

When she thought of Rossie, Deanna was very unhappy. She would knock on her door almost every day. She told Rossie that Zorion was very upset and hoped that she could come over and take a look. However, she simply ignored her.

At first, Deanna and Rossie had got on well. But right then, how times had changed!

"Well, hello there, Miss Cold-Shoulder-Fancy-Pants. If you are still trying to be stubborn, then my brother would flush you outta his mind and..."

Before finishing her sentence, Deanna stood up hurriedly and stepped back in fear. She was like a child who had done something bad and was afraid of getting caught by her parents.

Lottie looked at her daughter's belly. She couldn't tell that she was pregnant.

"Mom, Dad..." Deanna was so scared that she didn't know where to hide herself. She didn't know that her parents would come back. She was scared.

"Tetsuo, you may leave first." Rhys asked Lennox to retreat first, afraid of scaring Deanna.

"Yes, sir." Tetsuo closed the door and turned around to leave.

Rhys wrapped his arms around Lottie's waist and led her to Deanna's bed, away from Deanna.

Deanna was filled with fear as she looked at Zorion lying on the bed.

"Zorion?"

Zorion slowly got up and leaned against the headboard feebly. He shouted in a low and hoarse voice, "Dad, Mom!"

The voice jolted Lottie, who had been staring at her daughter, back to reality. It sounded like a mixture of bitterness and agony, making Lottie's heart tremble.

Lottie looked at Zorion with tears rolling down her face. She asked, "Zorion, what's wrong with you?"
