Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh couldn’t understand why Jepherson brought her back to Richards Manor, but she chose not to ask him about it.

Jepherson had booked a table in a restaurant for lunch. After lunch, Raeleigh requested to go back, so he signed his name and took her out of the restaurant.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Initially, they planned to return together. Suddenly, Jepherson received a phone call and went aside to answer it as Raeleigh waited beside him. He signalled her to get in the car, so she did not wait for him and walked towards the car.

However, she left the car door half-opened. She overheard the call and recognized Stella’s voice.

“Stella.” Jepherson looked back at Raeleigh as he spoke. When their eyes met, she immediately turned her face away.

She was about to close the door when he raised his hand to stop her. Then, he swung the door open and entered the car.

The door slammed shut, but Jepherson’s eyes were still glued to Raeleigh’s face as he talked on the phone.

Apparently, Stella wanted to see him as soon as possible because she could not stand being trapped at home.

“I have been so busy with my work that I didn’t have the time to visit you. I’ll come over later.” He chatted with her for a while as she cried over the phone for a long time. Their call was interrupted when someone snatched her phone and ended the call.

“Stella’s legs are gone. This is a very cruel thing to her.”

Jepherson put down his cell phone as he spoke. However, Raeleigh replied with amusement, “If I told you that Stella has bad intentions, then would you believe me?”

He stared at her. “Are you jealous?”

She turned her face away and defended herself. “There is nothing to be jealous of. I think it is wrong for you to judge a book by its cover.”

He crossed his legs. “This is the first time I’ve heard you commenting on a person like that. I’ve never thought that you are a jealous person. Why are you so jealous this time?”

He had a teasing tone as he spoke. Raeleigh could no longer sit still. “Let’s go back to the hospital. I want to go back there.”

“We haven’t attended the meeting in the office yet. How could we go back to the hospital?”

Raeleigh had forgotten about the meeting. She kept quiet and followed him back to the office.

It was almost noon by the time they arrived at the company. Perhaps, they could skip lunch already.

Raeleigh froze instantly when she entered the conference room. She didn’t expect Santiago to arrive already. Santiago waved his hand at her, motioning for her to sit beside him.

She recalled that he had told everyone that they were a couple. No matter the truth, they were then a couple in the eyes of Richards Group’s employees.

She walked towards the table and sat down by his side. There were other members in the conference room. Jepherson was the last to enter.

His gaze fell on Santiago as he came in, and he glared at him as he walked over and sat beside Raeleigh.

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze in an instant. Everyone stared at the three of them warily, as if aware of their unique relationship.

Raeleigh remained silent. Jepherson looked at the attendants and asked, “Is everyone here already?”

“Yes,” someone answered. Raeleigh stared at Santiago as he fiddled with his pen, and she then glanced at the folder in front of him. He was still as unruly as ever. It seemed that he would do nothing except play around.

Jepherson kicked her shin when he noticed her staring at Santiago.

She immediately came back to her senses and looked at the other people instead.

Jepherson officially started the meeting and mentioned his and Raeleigh’s plan that time.

“Miss Anson has been promoted as Chief Designer, and she has prepared a gift for us. We will be pushing forward a new car in February or March next year. However, due to the orientation issues of the car, I will not be revealing the details about the car for the time being. In the meantime, I will work with Miss Anson to design a car to be promoted in the global market. I hope that you will approve of it.”

“In the interest of fairness and to prove that Miss Anson has the true capability to take up this position, I will give her a chance to compete fairly. I am appointing Mr. Richards to take charge of the publicity and to promote the event.”

“Now is your time to speak up. Please tell us if you have any opinions. If you don’t voice out now, then you no longer have the chance to speak once the meeting adjourns.”

After that, he looked towards Santiago. Santiago flipped open the folder and revealed the documents inside. However, he only took one look at it, and he then turned to stare at Raeleigh. He crossed his legs, rapped his knuckles on the table, and he then announced, “During this period, you may only see Mr. Richards to discuss usual work matters. If I find out that anyone tries to curry favor with Mr. Richards to interfere with Miss Anson’s sales, then… I will speak to them.”

After he finished talking, everyone became silent. It was obvious that he was biased towards Raeleigh.

They all thought that the Richards family was a strange family.

“If no one disagrees, then I’m leaving.”

Santiago stood up with a notebook in his hand, and he then said to Raeleigh, “Let’s go.”

Raeleigh giggled upon seeing his serious attitude posing as her boyfriend. Usually, she would think that such acting was too fake.

But when it came to Santiago, she sincerely believed that he was having fun.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

Raeleigh stood up and followed Santiago out of the room. The people around turned to look at Jepherson. Everyone knew that Jepherson and Raeleigh had a complicated relationship. However, they did not know what was going on between her and Santiago.

When Raeleigh walked out of the conference room, she asked Santiago, “When did you arrive?”

Santiago strolled in front of her carelessly. He wore a white down jacket and a green coat, and he looked just like a scallion stalk.

Raeleigh stared at him, her eyes dazzled by the colors of his outfit.

Santiago remained silent as he held the folder behind him, hitting it against his back. He did not answer her question. Instead, he took her to the newly renovated office.

Her jaw almost dropped when she saw the inside of the office. She could not believe that they had finished the renovation in such a short time.

She touched the potted plants beside her and exclaimed, “I can’t smell anything in here at all. That’s strange.”

“We used the best materials. They are pollution-free, and they are basically odorless. I have tested them with different types of equipment already. I also asked people to cook here.”

She was rendered speechless by his words. “Cook?”

He plopped into the office chair and spun it around twice, and he then raised his head and said, “A newly renovated place needs to be heated so that the toxins in the room can vaporize.”

“Where did you hear that from?” She stared at him in amusement. She had never heard of this before.

“I don’t have to hear that from anywhere. This is common sense. My office will become your office. When I leave, this place is yours.”

He stood up and opened the door. Raeleigh stood outside, stunned. “A studio?”
