Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh picked up the soup, turned off the fire, and put it aside. Then, she scooped some into a bowl and brought it to Stuart.

Standing at the door, Alvin accepted the soup from Raeleigh.

“You don’t look well. Go to bed early. Don’t pull an all-nighter just to cook soup for Stuart. It’s not good for your health.”

Alvin turned around and went into the ward. Raeleigh looked up at Xanthus and said, “Is it your break now?”

“Yeah. Let’s take five.” Xanthus followed Raeleigh back without saying anything on the way. When he walked in, he saw Jepherson lying on the bed.

Raeleigh said, “He forced his way in. What am I to do?”

It sounded like Raeleigh was wronged, as if she had met a rogue. Xanthus looked at his strong-willed sister. Jepherson was her undoing.

“Have you eaten yet? Let’s eat.”

“No. I cooked some soup and brought it for you.”

Raeleigh went to get the soup and Xanthus followed her out. The brother and sister had breakfast and soup in the adjacent room.

After the meal, Xanthus said, “My clothes are all dirty now. It’s time to go back to change clothes. Let’s head home.”

“You didn’t rest all night. Shall we go back by taxi?”

“Nah, I’ll drive.” Xanthus took off his coat and draped it on a chair. He didn’t have to worry about losing anything, as nothing could be lost here. They had the whole floor to themselves, so there was no need to worry.

After coming out with Raeleigh, Xanthus drove his car and went home with Raeleigh.

On the way home, several cars were following them. Raeleigh was about to fall asleep, drifting in and out of consciousness.

Xanthus was taking his time. In fact, there were a lot of people at night who had taken turns to rest.

Compared with Raeleigh, Xanthus’s gaze was soft, but he was not in a good mood.

Raeleigh was too passive. If she continued on like this, then she would collapse.

When they arrived home, Xanthus skirted the car, opened the door for Raeleigh, and touched her head. Then, she opened her eyes.

Seeing Xanthus, she smiled and got out of the car.

They talked and went back to the house. They went back to their own rooms to take a bath and changed into clean clothes.

Xanthus knocked on Raeleigh’s door. Raeleigh opened it and Xanthus came in and said, “Rest well.”

“Are you going to sleep in my room?” Raeleigh and Xanthus were brother and sister, so they had nothing to be ashamed of. In the beginning, everything might have felt weird, but right then, Raeleigh was used to it and felt comfortable.

Xanthus closed the door and came in, wearing clean pyjamas. He walked around the bed and lay on it. Raeleigh snuggled under the quilt on the other side.

It was daytime, and the curtains were not closed, so they could be seen through the binoculars from outside.

Receiving the information, Jepherson emerged from under the quilt, put on his clothes, and went out of the room.

Jenna woke up after a night’s sleep. She was just about to eat and visit her son. As soon as she went out, she saw her son, who was going out.

“Jerry,” Jenna called. Jepherson stopped and turned to look at Jenna. “Mom.”

“Jerry, are you going out? I saw you leaving Raeleigh’s place. Did you stay with Raeleigh at night?”

Jenna was cock-a-hoop. It seemed that it was right to have arranged the next room for Raeleigh.

“I did stay the night there, but Raeleigh didn’t come back. I’m going to check things out. I think she’s perhaps left with Xanthus. They’ve been here for some time and are now home to change their clothes.”

Jenna was confused. How had his sentence progressed from conjecture to conclusion? To what did he owe this certainty?

“Then, be careful on your way,” she said after hesitating for a moment and Jepherson agreed. He turned around and walked towards the elevator. Entering the elevator, he pressed a button to go down. He narrowed his eyes and leaned against the elevator wall to rest.

The door of the elevator opened. Jepherson opened his eyes and stepped out. Briskly, he walked all the way out of the hospital.

Outside the door, a car was waiting with the doors opened. Jepherson bent down and sat in the car. He leaned against the side and said, “To Yellow Road, please.”

“Yes, sir.”

Raeleigh felt someone open the door and was roused. She sat up from the bed. The visitor was none other than Jepherson.

Raeleigh touched her forehead subconsciously. “Am I dreaming?” she thought.

Holding on to her thoughts, Raeleigh took a look at Xanthus, who followed suit.

Both of them sat on the bed, without saying a word.

Jepherson stood at the door and said, “Come.”

Xanthus glanced at Raeleigh and he then got out of bed. “You should continue your rest.”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Xanthus didn’t come back after he left the room, which made Raeleigh worried. She got off the bed and heard someone talking outside.

“You are not allowed to sleep in Raeleigh’s room in the future.”

The voice came from Jepherson, whose dissatisfaction and anger were heard.

Raeleigh slowly turned around and looked at the bed that she had just slept on. She raised her head and rubbed it. Then, she went back and continued to lie down to rest.

Xanthus, who was outside the door, laughed. “Aren’t you sort of forgetting that this is my abode?”

“I know this is your house, but Raeleigh is my woman. Don’t forget, although you are Raeleigh’s brother, you should know what’s good for you.”

Xanthus glanced at the door. “So I heard. If there is nothing else, you can leave.”

Xanthus turned around and returned to Raeleigh’s room. He was going to ignore him, but Jepherson tailed him into the room.

Raeleigh opened her eyes and saw the both of them coming in.

Helpless, Xanthus looked back at Jepherson. “Look here, we need to rest. I’m sure you don’t want something to happen to Stuart either.”

“Of course, rest it is. That makes three of us. Since I’ve got Raeleigh weighing on my mind, I think it’s more appropriate for me to stay.”

Jepherson refused to leave. He walked into the room, sat down on the couch opposite Raeleigh, and watched her.

Raeleigh was speechless. Which act, she thought, was he putting up again? As if things weren’t complicated enough.

Feeling depressed, Raeleigh looked at Xanthus.

“Well, take a rest. I’ll sit for a while.” Xanthus then walked to Jepherson’s side and narrowed his eyes.

Raeleigh stole a glance before lying down to have a rest.

Both men had no sooner fallen asleep than Raeleigh followed suit.

The three of them slept until three o’clock in the afternoon.

When Raeleigh woke up, there was no one in the room. She changed her clothes and went downstairs to look for them.

Standing downstairs was a young man Raeleigh had met before. He had appeared not long after Stuart was hospitalized. Moreover, he had always been by Jepherson’s side.

Seeing this man, Raeleigh knew that Jepherson mustn’t have left.

After coming downstairs, Raeleigh looked towards the kitchen where the sound came from and walked towards it.

There were cooking sounds in the kitchen, but there was no sound of anyone talking.

Raeleigh went to the door of the kitchen and saw two people inside.
