Go After My Ex-wife

What should Raeleigh have said?

Silence was sometimes the best answer.

Jepherson sat there for a while. He had planned to go out, but then he called Santiago and informed him that he might have to hold off the plan.

"You don't have to worry about me. You can leave now." Raeleigh wiped the sweat off her face. All of a sudden, Jepherson held Raeleigh from the side. The look in his eyes wasn't what one would call amiable. Sitting on one side was Xanthus. He did not expect that Jepherson would feel uncomfortable.

"Jepherson, let go..."

"It will be better this way." Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms and gently caressed her back. Raeleigh was completely at a loss. She hadn't seen this coming. It seemed as though he was in more pain than she was.

After holding Raeleigh for a while, he let her go. Jepherson studied Raeleigh's head. It was alright then.

"C'mon. I'll take you out for a walk."

Jepherson stood up, took Raeleigh's shoes, and was ready to put them on her. Raeleigh pushed him with a blank face. Jepherson did not leave but he knelt on the ground to put shoes on her. "We're going out for a while. Sit back and relax, I won't touch Raeleigh."

Xanthus stood up from the side. "You'd better do what you say."

Raeleigh was stumped for a moment and looked up at Xanthus.

"The air circulation here is not good and it won't do any good to your sleep. Go and get some fresh air outside." Xanthus was also worried as Raeleigh was always cooped up in the hospital.

After putting on her shoes, Jepherson stepped back and looked at Raeleigh. "I'll wait for you by the elevator."

Jepherson said and went out. Raeleigh came down the bed after a long time. "I don't want to go."

"It's good to walk around. Being holed up here will affect your mood and emotions. Since he promised, he will definitely hold on to his word, so don't worry."

Raeleigh had to go out. When she came out of the door, she saw him standing at the door of the elevator.

"Put on something thicker." Seeing that Raeleigh was not wearing much, Jepherson went directly to her and reminded her. Raeleigh watched him pass by her and went into Xanthus's ward. After a while, he took out Xanthus' coat.

He came to Raeleigh and put the coat over her. "It'll be cold outside."

After that, he pressed the elevator button and entered it.

Raeleigh followed behind him and went outside together.

Out of the door, Raeleigh got in the car with Jepherson. Inside the car, she took off the coat and held it in her arms. She looked around and asked, "Where are we going?"

"To see Deanna." Jepherson had promised Santiago that he would go to the Atkinson family to visit her. With Raeleigh's bad dream, Jepherson was worried and decided to bring her along.

Raeleigh turned to look at him. "You're taking me to the Atkinson family residence?"

"Scarlette is there. It's very appropriate for you to go.

"

Jepherson looked at her. It was dark and the lights were flickering. The car drove along the streets cast with shadows. In a successive motion, the shadows scuttled across Jepherson's face. Raeleigh stared at his face and a blueprint of a car appeared in her mind. Raeleigh closed her eyes, turned her face away, and furrowed her brows, thinking about the picture.

In front of the car, the driver saw the intersection in front of him and blurted out, "This is strange..."

Without waiting for the driver to finish his sentence, Jepherson raised his hand to stop him. He motioned for the driver to make a detour. He did not want to disturb Raeleigh.

The corners of Jepherson's mouth turned up slightly. He was glad that Raeleigh's inspiration came from him. If not, then he would be very disappointed.

Raeleigh had been resting with her eyes closed. When the car shook lightly, Raeleigh frowned in her sleep.

The car was the most expensive and comfortable kind, so it was cozy for Raeleigh to sit on the side. Jepherson suddenly wanted to know what the picture Raeleigh was thinking about was like, even the color of the car would be enough to ease his curiosity.

Jepherson knew that Raeleigh's car would never have a second color. The color was very singular and unique.

Just like the first few vehicles she had designed, the demand had been higher than the supply. They had already received a booking from the world's top dealers, hoping to get the dealership of Duke and Dream.

The car pulled up at the gate of the Atkinson family residence. The driver, still taciturn, turned around. The driver asked Jepherson if he wanted to get out of the car. However, Jepherson did not move. He waited until Raeleigh opened her eyes and looked at him.

"I'm not going to leave. You guys can go ahead."

Raeleigh neither wanted to come down nor go inside. To put it bluntly, she thought her presence was redundant.

Even if she wanted to see Deanna, she could see her by herself. She did not need to rely on Jepherson, as if that was her free pass as his woman.

Besides, they might not be welcomed in the house.

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh, turned around, and got out of the car. He straightened his clothes and turned to look at Raeleigh in the car. "Come down, yeah?" Raeleigh pulled a long face. "I don't want to go in."

"Oh, you don't want a lot of things, but not every one of them can be abided by. Do come down."

Jepherson waited for Raeleigh for a few minutes. It was so cold outside but Jepherson wouldn't leave. So, Raeleigh had to step out of the car.

When they reached the door, Raeleigh looked at them. Santiago was also at the door, standing there. His green sweater was particularly eye-catching.

Raeleigh hesitated for a moment. She then put on the black coat and walked towards Santiago.

"Why did you come out wearing such paper thin clothes?" she asked.

If Raeleigh hadn't worn too little on the inside, then she would really have wanted to give her coat to Santiago.

"Aha! You're swaddled in clothes. Give it to me then." Santiago turned around with a smile on his face. Raeleigh was stunned. "Nice try."

The corners of Santiago's lips curled into a sinister smile. Raising his head to look at Jepherson's calm face, the smile slipped off his face and he looked at the entrance of the Atkinson family residence.

"I was told that they were going to have a rest and was asked to come back tomorrow, but I felt a little strange. It was completely quiet and you could hear a pin drop inside. Except for the old housekeeper, it was totally different from usual."

"Is that so?" In fact, Jepherson also felt strange. Even if Santiago did not say it, he still noticed it.

Raeleigh peered inside but found nothing strange.

"Press the doorbell," Jepherson said, to which Santiago obliged. It didn't take long for Tetsuo, the old Lennox, to come out. When he saw the people at the door, he felt conflicted. Why, he thought, were these people here yet again?

Tetsuo didn't dare to dawdle and hurried over.

"Mr. Jepherson, Mr. Santiago, this... Miss Raeleigh."

He greeted them politely. Raeleigh fixed her eyes on him and smiled politely. "Sorry to bother you."

"I'm so hungry I could eat a horse! Let me in and make me something to eat," Santiago said. Tetsuo thought, "Here we go again." Why couldn't Santiago have spiced up his excuses a bit?

"Mr. Santiago, it's not that I won't let you in. It's just that we're all resting now, and there's no one to serve you inside."

"We don't need to be entertained. Chop, chop. Open sesame."

Undeterred, Santiago was there to stay. When Tetsuo was running out of ideas, his cell phone rang. He looked at the phone and apologetically returned his gaze at them. "Mr. Jepherson, please come in with Mr. Santiago and Miss Raeleigh."

Tetsuo opened the door and Raeleigh followed the two brothers inside.
