Getting My Ex-wife Back

When Stella left, Raeleigh happened to come back with Santiago. After visiting Stuart in the ward below, she came up to Stella’s ward and came face-to-face with her.

Stella was in the arms of a man, crying her eyes out. An old woman in her seventies was leading them.

She was dressed elegantly, the epitome of nobility, followed by two men in suits and leather shoes. Their faces were ruddy and they looked like men bathed in money and status.

Raeleigh stood next to Santiago and Jacky. The door of the elevator opened and they stood opposite to it, ready to enter the elevator.

Santiago glanced at Stella and pulled Raeleigh out of their way.

Jacky followed them out.

The old lady turned around and looked at them. Santiago did not pay any attention to them and walked to the side with Raeleigh.

Japherson stood outside the elevator and said politely to the leaving party, “Safe trip, Madam Geraldine.”

“Jepherson, don’t be too conceited. We will meet again. Just wait and see,” Geraldine said as the elevator door closed. Stella held on to her brother and cried bitterly.

Jepherson didn’t say anything. When the elevator door closed, he turned around and went in Stuart’s direction.

He felt sorry for Stella, but he had no choice, for she would only receive better care after returning home.

Raeleigh and the others stood outside of Stuart’s ward and looked inside. Xanthus was relieved when he saw his sister and spoke to her.

Jepherson walked outside and looked at Santiago. “Are you all dandy now?”

“Never been better.” Santiago put up his hands to show Jepherson that he was fine then.

Jepherson turned his eyes to Raeleigh, but she did not look at him at all, treating him as if he was invisible.

“Our parents are on the other side.” With this, Jepherson turned around and walked towards the opposite side. Santiago followed suit. Raeleigh held Xanthus’s arm and was intending to leave with him. Before they could leave, they heard Jenna asking Santiago, “Where is your sister-in-law?”

Raeleigh was about to leave when she heard Jenna say, “I will go over and ask her to come.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Then, she heard Jenna calling her name from behind. Raeleigh wanted to leave but she could not move her feet, as if lead was poured into them.

Jenna walked out and stood in front of Raeleigh. She greeted Xanthus politely and said, “Raeleigh, why don’t you come here. See what I have prepared for you.”

After finishing her words, Jenna pried Raeleigh’s hand away from Xanthus.

Raeleigh looked back at Xanthus, who then swiveled his head, checking his surroundings. “Welp, there goes my sister,” he thought.

He was outnumbered in every way, so how could he possibly snatch her back?

After Raeleigh was brought in, Xanthus gave his orders and followed her into the room. After all, his sister was there.

Raeleigh was dragged into the door and given a beautiful wooden box by Jenna. The carving on the box was exquisite. Xanthus recognized it at a glance. It was made of yellow rosewood and was very mellow. It was rare to see this kind of thing then. The lock was not a regular lock. It should have been specially made by someone.

Jenna opened the box and showed Raeleigh the contents.

Raeleigh cast a glance at Xanthus and she then looked inside the box. Thus, she asked, “What’s this?”

“I asked someone to make a custom piece of jewelry. Ah, this is not for you, though. I heard that your mother is an expert in antique appraisal, as I know she is an archeologist. I figured she must like some flawless imitations. I have asked a professional to make it as close to the original as possible, and he had employed the use of more than a hundred workers. Do you like it? If you do, then I think your mother will like it too, including this silver bracelet.”

“It’s for your grandmother. She has worked hard all her life and raised you for over ten years. It must’ve been hard on her.”

Raeleigh stared at the contents of the jewelry box. There was a set of antique jewelry. The cheapest gems on it were sapphire, while the rest were red, green, and yellow. The box was glittering with necklaces, earrings, and rings.

In addition, the silver bracelet was iridescent. At first glance, although it matched older people well, those kaleidoscopic colors were emitted by gemstones.

How could Raeleigh dare to accept such a priceless ornament?

“No, thank you. It’s too expensive.” Raeleigh pushed her hand back. Jenna asked immediately, “Raeleigh, do you think it is cheesy? It was actually designed by yours truly.”

Raeleigh withdrew her hands slightly, but she still said, “Perhaps, you should keep these first. When you are free, you can give them to my Grandma personally. I can’t accept the gift on their behalf.”

“Well, let’s see when we have time. Can you help me make an appointment with your parents, so that I can go?”

Seeing the situation, Raeleigh had nothing to say.

Santiago didn’t help, and neither did Jepherson. Raeleigh didn’t know what to say or how to deal with it as Jenna had left her no choice.

“Mrs. Richards, let me ask about this and see when my parents will be free.” Xanthus saw that Raeleigh was in trouble, so he immediately helped her.

“Well, of course.” Jenna put down the box and pulled Raeleigh. “Raeleigh, I have also bought some clothes. Come here and let me doll you up.”

Jenna stood up and pulled Raeleigh over. Raeleigh was dragged to the other side by Jenna. She took the clothes and accompanied her to the bathroom to get changed. Raeleigh was dragged all around by Jenna like a child.

When Raeleigh went into the bathroom to try on some clothes, Hansen looked at his youngest son and said, “C’mere, buddy. Let me check on you.”

Santiago walked up to Hansen. After all, he was a 17-year-old, the baby of the family. Compared to his eldest son, Hansen was more worried about him.

There was a difference between the Richards family members according to seniority. The family business had to be passed on to the eldest son. The second son would not receive too much. Hansen doted on Santiago from the beginning because Santiago was destined to be a great man. However, Hansen thought that both sons were not bad.

But in the end, he was still selfish for the sake of the Richards family. He had no choice but to push aside the nurturing of his youngest son and assisted his eldest son instead.

For this matter, Hansen had also repeatedly considered this decision and still came to the same result.

Therefore, he treated Santiago better than Jepherson.

Santiago walked up to Hansen. The latter looked at him. Santiago unbuttoned his clothes and showed him, after which he asked, “This ain’t going to leave any scars, right?”

“No, they’re all sharp, steel knives. They’re as thin as a cicada’s wings. Only a nick was made on my skin. After applying some medicine, they’re all fine now.”

Santiago pulled down his clothes. Jacky and Xanthus stood to the side, thinking that this family was truly special. Their mother, father, and son were somehow quirky.

Hansen produced Raeleigh’s cell phone and gave it to Santiago. “Give it back to your sister-in-law. There are some videos of your assault.”

Santiago opened it to take a look and deleted it. Still, Jepherson and the others heard the sounds from the video, especially Raeleigh’s ear-piercing screams.
