Getting My Ex-wife Back

It was already dawn by the time Raeleigh finished her work. She stretched her arms and relaxed for a while. When she was about to get up from her seat, she remembered Jepherson, and she then quickly turned around to have a look. As expected, he was sleeping on a tiny bed in the room.

Her body froze instinctively. She didn’t expect him to vacate the place and leave the blanket for her. Meanwhile, he used her coat as a blanket while he slept.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She got up quietly and cleaned up the place. Then, she walked away from her seat and headed towards the window to stretch her body.

A smile blossomed on her face as the sunlight struck her cheeks.

She was facing towards the east, where the sun rose. It seemed that this room was the place to see the sun at its earliest in the morning.

She basked in the first rays of sunshine, enjoying the amazing feeling. At that moment, everything felt wonderful to her.

After standing there for a while, she went back to check on Jepherson and stared at him until he woke up.

He smiled when he saw her. “Is it done?”

She nodded, and she then turned around to fetch her finished blueprint. She held up the blueprint and examined it to confirm that she had not made any mistake that time. Finally, she handed the blueprint to Jepherson. He got up and walked towards her, and he then paused only inches away from her before taking away the blueprint from her hands. He took a look at it, and he then became stunned for a moment. Later, he turned towards her and asked, “So, you are that defensive even when you’re with me?”

Jepherson’s gaze pierced through Raeleigh’s eyes. If he had guessed correctly, then she had been thinking about this car design from the very beginning instead of the one she designed earlier. Either she was trying to probe him, or she had reconsidered her previous design.

He believed that she must have thought that the most important thing was not to forget her original intentions. That was why she redesigned the car.

Raeleigh did not answer his question. Instead, she fetched her coat and put it on slowly, and she then turned to look at him. “I know you have the power to open and dominate the market for whichever car you want.”

“I have already learnt my lesson from the previous cars, but I still hope that this will be a fair match.”

“I also want to know how confident I am in defeating you.”

Raeleigh stood there, her petite face defiant. Jepherson was in a daze. This was the most courageous thing that he had heard in his whole life, and he would never have believed that she would utter such words.

After pondering for a moment, he said, “I will let Santiago take charge of the promotion. He will be promoting both cars at the same time. He is not biased, and I believe you will no longer have doubts about this. Meanwhile, I have something to do during this period of time. You will follow me to attend the press conference, and you and I will be together at any other time as well.”

“Sure.”

“We have known each other for less than a year, yet we have already promoted too many cars. These will be the last two cars until the first half of next year. Whether you win or lose, I hope you will rest and take a break from designing cars.”

“As creators, creating too many designs will make us fall into obsession. I don’t want you to be obsessed.”

“I won’t.”

“I still won’t let you. This will be your last time, and you may only continue designing in the second half of the next year. You should focus on this project for the next three months. I will give you a chance to enter the company, and you may take part in the whole process, but you may not design anymore. It will benefit you, me, and the company.”

Jepherson turned around and went outside, his face cold and indifferent.

Raeleigh followed behind him with a puzzled look. She could not understand why he would fall out with her for no reason. She did not do anything wrong. Designing cars was something that they had agreed upon at the start. How could he go back on his words?

Jepherson waited outside until Raeleigh came out from behind the bookshelf. After closing the door, he sat on the chair and called the security department to inform them that they would be going down soon.

Then, he called the planning department and several other departments. Finally, he called Santiago.

But Santiago was asleep when Jepherson called him. It took him a long while before he finally woke up and picked up the phone.

“Come to the company. I’m waiting for you here. We will be having an urgent meeting.”

Jepherson put down the phone and glanced at Raeleigh. She had a feeling that he was not going to let her go so easily. But she could not think of other reasons for him to do such a thing if he was not planning to let her go. She thought he was trying to make her stay, but then it seemed like it was not the case.

“Let’s have breakfast. He should be here after breakfast.”

Jepherson stood up and walked towards the door. Raeleigh could no longer do as she wished. She had planned to go back, but then, they would come back to the office again for the meeting anyway. So, she fell silent again.

Jepherson headed outside directly after walking out of the office. He was about to get in the car when Raeleigh stopped him.

“Wait a minute.”

He stopped and looked back at her. “What’s wrong?”

“The meeting is about to start. We can just find something to eat in the office.”

Raeleigh stopped Jepherson because she thought it would be too troublesome to go out to eat. However, his attitude surprised her.

“What for?”

She froze for a moment, and she then looked around as if she were a thief. Why was he speaking as if he were an undisciplined child?

She hesitated and said, “Nothing. I just want to have my breakfast in the office.”

“Are you the boss or am I?”

His reply rendered her speechless.

“Get in the car.”

The corners of Jepherson’s lips curled into a grin as he turned away from her. He looked up at the clear and cloudless sky and wondered if this disaster had finally passed.

Then, Jepherson bent down and entered the car. Raeleigh thought that he had gone mad. Why did he look up to the sky?

She raised her head and followed his gaze but noticed that there was nothing in the sky. Then, she ducked and got into the car.

Jepherson kept driving, and Raeleigh wondered when he would stop. Every time they passed by a restaurant, her disappointment grew. Finally, the car stopped at the gate of Jepherson’s home, Richards Manor.

She turned to look at Jepherson as he was about to get out of the car. “What on Earth do you want?”

“I want to eat. I have had a bad stomach these few days, so I want to come home and eat something nice.”

Then, he stepped out of the car, and she followed him with a dissatisfied expression.

The last place she wanted to go was Richards Manor, and the last person she wanted to see was Marissa. However, it seemed like she had no choice but to enter the house then.

Staring at the people in front of her, she stepped into the house in silence. She thought about the competition between her and Jepherson. She was unsure about everything when the result was still unknown.

She entered Richards Manor without a word. As soon as they came into the house, Jepherson led her to Ink Garden.

“I don’t want to go.” She stood outside as if she were a stubborn wife. She did not want to act like this, but she had no choice. After all, Marissa was still hostile towards her even though she no longer owned this place.

She was not the kind of person who could stand being bullied. Although she could not do anything to Marissa because she was too weak, she would not swallow her anger if Marissa were to say anything unpleasant to her.

So, she refused to go in.

However, Jepherson forcefully dragged her in.
