Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh was unwilling to enter the house at first. However, she stopped protesting after going in. She thought she was already inside the house anyway, and she did not need to show her weakness.

She bowed her head, thinking that if Marissa were to go against her, then she would either fight back adamantly or turn away and leave.

However, it was easier said than done.

Jepherson dragged Raeleigh into Ink Garden, but when they entered the place, Marissa was nowhere to be seen. Raeleigh calmed down and wondered if Marissa had gone on a trip.

“Your Grandma…”

“Our Grandma.” Jepherson’s face fell. However, Raeleigh chuckled as if she had encountered a joke. “So, Mrs. Richards isn’t home?”

She refused to call Marissa ‘Grandma’. She would not address her as such, no matter what.

Jepherson’s eyes lit up in amusement. “I used to get angry with Grandma when I was a child, but then Mom always told me that no matter how angry I was, she was always my Grandma.”

Raeleigh ignored him and looked around the house instead.

Still, no one was around. Jepherson walked towards Marissa’s room and knocked on the door. Shortly after, a servant came out. When she saw Jepherson, she immediately greeted him politely.

“Where is Grandma?”

“She still hasn’t eaten. She’s lying in the room.” The servant was at a loss for words. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have called Jepherson to come here.

Jepherson waved his hand dismissively and instructed, “Alright. You may leave.”

After that, he went inside the room. Raeleigh stood outside the door without any intention of following him inside. Surprisingly, he didn’t ask her to go in either.

“Are you feeling better?” Jepherson entered the room and walked over to Marissa. She seemed dispirited. She was sick, and she had refused to eat or drink. Instead, she only relied on holistic medicine and nutrient injections to sustain her life.

Actually, she was not suffering from any serious illnesses. It was just that her physical strength had grown weak because she refused to eat, so it created the impression that she was beyond recovery.

However, she never explicitly told the members of the Richards family that she was beyond recovery. Instead, she had her own plans. She let the Richards family’s servant send out the message about her hunger strike. That way, she would save her dignity, and her family members would come back home.

Indeed, Marissa was throwing a huge tantrum.

She used to throw tantrums when she was younger, and they always worked like a charm. She thought that they would still work, but then, even her son refused to come back.

Not to mention Santiago. Also, she might never see Trevor again.

Ever since she came to Capital City, she had never received a phone call from Trevor, let alone meeting him.

She really needed someone to comfort her then, and she wished nothing more than to see Trevor. After all, they had been married for decades. But until then, he kept disappointing her. She could not even understand why he did this to her.

Perhaps, it was because they had grown old, and time had washed away whatever feeling they once had for each other.

Marissa knew that she should not wish for impossible things. However, she would not let go of other matters. She believed that she ended up like this because of Raeleigh, and she swore to seek revenge and never let her go.

However, she didn’t expect that her usually obedient daughter-in-law would not come either.

She lay on the bed, unmoving. She heard Jepherson coming in and knew he was talking to her. However, she ignored him.

“So, you’re not going to talk to me?” Jepherson was about to run out of patience. He was already tolerant enough to bring Raeleigh back home with him. He thought if Marissa continued to act arrogantly and be unreasonable, then he would leave.

However, when he was about to leave, Marissa slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. Then, she said, “Tell her to get lost.”

Raeleigh stood at the door as she overheard Marissa’s orders.

She immediately turned around and walked out of the house. Meanwhile, Marissa sneered and said, “If you go after her, then I will die in front of you. If you want to be a disloyal grandson, then you may go.”

Marissa seemed determined. The servants around her bowed their heads in silence. They knew that she had gone too far, but no one could do anything about it. Knowing Jepherson’s temper, he would definitely stay back to take care of Marissa.

In the past, Jepherson had been the closest with Marissa, unlike Santiago. Santiago had never won Marissa’s favor. Besides, she was always unhappy to see him. As such, he would not visit Ink Garden even when he was at home.

The servants had followed the Richards family here from A City. They knew very well that no matter what, Santiago would always be an insignificant person to Marissa. Thus, Santiago never came to visit her.

However, it was a different case for Jepherson. Marissa had always doted on him, and he would always do his best to please her.

So, right then…

Just when everyone expected him to compromise, Jepherson smiled and said, “If you are tired of life and feel that everything displeases you, then you may visit Great-Grandma in heaven. I only hope that when she asks you questions, you will answer truthfully. Please tell her that you volunteered to visit her, and it has nothing to do with us.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“I always hear Dad talking about Great-Grandma’s selfless deeds, and I have always wanted to go and visit her. Unfortunately… I really couldn’t leave my beloved ones, so…”

“Could you please send her my regards in case she doesn’t know about the truth and misunderstands us?”

After that, he turned around and was about to leave. At that moment, Marissa was so furious that she almost suffered a heart attack. The servants around her rushed forward to calm her down, and she slowly regained her breath.

Jepherson stood to one side of the room. He did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited until Marissa’s condition became stable before stalking out of the house.

When Marissa noticed Jepherson leaving, she grew even more furious.

She grabbed the blanket on both sides and kept repeating that Jepherson was bullying her.

Her son and daughter-in-law refused to come back, and Jepherson had made her angry. She believed that they all wanted her to die, and none of them had good intentions.

Jepherson came out of Ink Garden quickly and ran outside when he did not see Raeleigh in the house. She only had two legs, after all, so she would not run far. He spotted her before she could reach the door.

He caught up with her from behind and tugged at her arm, pulling her towards him.

She looked at him with a sneer. “Could you please stop bringing me here?”

“I’m already here. She is old, and sometimes, she would dwell on the most insignificant things. For example, if a child pushes you, then you can’t call him a problematic child and say that he would grow up into a bad person.”

“I have already helped you seek revenge. I almost pissed her off to death.”

Raeleigh turned to look at him in confusion. “I don’t understand. What on Earth are you trying to do?”

She shook off his hand, and she then turned around and walked towards Richards Manor’s front gate. She stepped out of the door and got into the car, and then stared into the vacant space with a blank look. She cursed herself for being a fool. Why didn’t she leave?

Shortly, Jepherson got into the car. “I know what I’m doing. I am torn between my Grandma and my lover, and I hope that they can get along well with each other. This is human nature. I hope you can understand me.”

He instructed the driver to move, and he then stopped talking.

Raeleigh thought that he still had something to say, but instead, he remained silent all the way.
