Getting My Ex-wife Back

Santiago tapped on the phone and the contents of the phone were deleted. He turned to look at Jepherson.

“What’s the plan?”

Jepherson thought for a moment and said, “We’ll go there tonight.”

Santiago felt a bubble of laughter rising from his lungs.

When he heard that they were going during the night, he smiled smugly. “You coward!”

“Goodness, who are you insulting again?” Jenna came out of the bathroom, looking peeved. She seemed to have heard a scream just then.

Raeleigh was so nervous, thinking, why was she wearing a skirt in the winter?

Raeleigh was brought out and she stood at the door of the bathroom. Jepherson and Santiago both looked at Raeleigh at the same time. She lowered her head and her face turned red.

The two brothers, however, were entranced by it.

“Doesn’t she look gorgeous! I’ve hired a designer from France to design it especially for Raeleigh.” Jenna seemed to claim credit for her look. Hansen took a sip of the tea and did not have much thoughts. He could only say that his son’s taste was indeed good, but was still second to his.

Of course, his wife was the best he could ask for.

Jenna pulled Raeleigh to one side. “Raeleigh has a beautiful figure, but she is shy.”

“It’s too cold. I’ll change my clothes first.” Raeleigh turned around and went back. Jepherson and Santiago kept staring at Raeleigh until she went to the bathroom and closed the door.

Hansen’s eyes were full of emotions. He took a sip of water and said, “We can’t leave Stuart alone. Your mother and I don’t care about the incident with the Doyle family. What you should know is that Stuart grew up without a mother. It had always been Alvin who raised him. Alvin had always treated the both of you like his son and I’ve always treated Stuart like my son too. Meeting this harsh reality, Alvin can actually choose to leave all of this behind but still, he chose to stay.”

“That time, even Alvin didn’t say anything but I knew that he wasn’t in a good mood.”

“So…”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Do you understand?”

When Hansen asked his two sons, Jenna stood by the side, silent. When she thought of Stuart, her mood became dreary.

Stuart was an adopted child. It was said that he was saved from a fire incident. Alvin saved Stuart from that burning house. Jenna did not know the details, but it seemed that Alvin and Stuart were blood-related father and son.

“We know.”

Jenna looked at Jepherson and said, “Be careful.”

“Got it.”

After saying that, Santiago stepped out first, followed by the others. In the end, only Xanthus was waiting for Raeleigh in the room.

While Raeleigh did not come out, Jenna said to Xanthus, “I hope that Raeleigh can stay here. At the very least, she’ll be safe. What do you think, Xanthus?”

Xanthus had the same thought, so he nodded.

Jenna smiled happily and said, “Great minds think alike. You can stay next door with Raeleigh. There are two beds over there. If something’s up, then we can take care of each other.”

“I know.” Xanthus was just talking to Jenna when Raeleigh came out of the bathroom, carrying her clothes. She was very surprised to see that everyone had left.

Xanthus told her, “Raeleigh, Mrs. Richards said that we should stay next door. That way, it should be easier to take care of each other.”

“Okay.”

Raeleigh nodded. Xanthus had already agreed, she had no reason to refuse.

The two siblings then left to pack and move their things to their new room. When the door was closed, Jenna breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Just now. I was going to say that I want Raeleigh to stay alone, but I saw Xanthus’s eyes, as if he knew what I was going to say. So, I tweaked my idea. Thank God! Otherwise, he would not have agreed to let her stay.”

Hansen continued to drink his water. He could not pay attention to the story his wife was telling him. In fact, he was hearing in his mind’s ear, the sound of Raeleigh screaming and his youngest son gasping for breath.

Santiago was the one who had been hurt, but he also felt the pain as a father. The matter would not be forgiven easily.

Rayan got off the plane and patted Hannah’s hand. “You have to be mentally prepared. I have something to tell you.”

Hannah still didn’t know about the issues regarding their two children in her family. She just knew that her husband wanted to go back suddenly. She didn’t know what happened.

Perhaps, he missed his daughter.

Hannah looked at him strangely and asked, “Rayan, are you hiding something from me?”

Rayan comforted his beloved wife and said, “Guilty as charged. But I don’t know how to tell you.”

Rayan’s mouth curved slightly as he spoke. Hannah really didn’t understand this man. But what he was doing seemed to be a good thing.

“Rayan, what exactly is it?” Hannah asked anxiously.

Rayan lowered his head and patted her hand. They walked out of the airport together and got into the car.

Hannah looked at the car but she couldn’t find her children in it. What was going on?

“Rayan, where are Zorion and Deanna?”

“They are all at home.”

As the car slowly drove away, Rayan’s eyes looked a little complicated. Halfway through the journey, Rayan said to his beloved wife, Hannah, “Zorion has a girlfriend.”

“Come again?”

Hannah was shocked. “A girlfriend?”

Subconsciously, Hannah thought of Raeleigh. She had heard about this girl from Deanna. She seemed to have seen her before. She could only recall that Raeleigh was really good-looking but she could no longer remember her appearance, only her name.

“It is that Raeleigh girl?” Hannah blurted out. Rayan thought for a moment and shook his head. The attrition due to aging couldn’t be seen on his face at all, and he was still as timeless a man as ever.

“Then, who might it be?”

Rayan did not answer. He took out his cell phone and unlocked it. He showed a photo of Rossie to Hannah. Hannah was also stunned. She was really beautiful.

“So, this girlfriend isn’t the same one as before?”

Hannah was a little confused. The girl was beautiful, but she was still young, however one looked at it.

“How old is she?”

Hannah couldn’t help but to ask. She was and would always be fine with her son having a girlfriend, but she seemed a little too young for him.

Rayan shifted his gaze and said, “She wasn’t willing to be his girlfriend, but Zorion couldn’t control himself. He forced himself on her, and now they’re walking on thin ice.”

Hannah turned to look at Rayan for a long time. “What the…?”

Rayan narrowed his eyes as he walked down memory lane. His son’s character was the same as him, a dyed-in-the-wool one-woman man. Once he fell down the ravine of love, he would never want to leave again.

Hannah looked at Rossie’s photo in Rayan’s cell phone. Was this girl truly such a keeper worthy of the sacrifice?

She turned around and looked at her husband’s handsome face. Could this be an inherited trait? Can being affectionate also passed down with one’s genes?

Their car moved steadily along the road. When they arrived at the destination, Rayan opened his eyes. Hannah stared at the phone and got out of the car. Rayan walked to her. She immediately took Rayan’s arm and asked, “Why haven’t I heard anything from Deanna? Doesn’t she care about her brother a tad bit?”

Hannah was full of doubt. Rayan did not answer. He lowered his head and looked at his toes.

Hannah slowly stopped. “Could it be…”

“Let’s go.”

Rayan neither wanted to say much, nor could he say anything.
