Getting My Ex-wife Back

After Seibert left the office, Raeleigh quickly closed the door and pulled Santiago away. “Are you crazy?”

Santiago walked to the other side of the room and sat down. Then, he called the cleaner. “Come and clean up.”

Raeleigh frowned in confusion. She turned around and stared at him. “Why on Earth did you do that?”

He put down the phone and answered, “He hit Stuart. So, why can’t I hit him?”

“You’re unreasonable.” Raeleigh’s face turned darker as she glared at him. He narrowed his eyes as he recalled the incident when he was a child. Stuart had almost died that time. He was in a coma for a few days.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Please don’t meddle in men’s business in the future, Raeleigh,” Santiago said coolly. He opened his eyes and stared at the furious Raeleigh. “My grudge against him has nothing to do with Jepherson, but he is Jepherson’s subordinate. Jepherson will call me to ask what’s going on.”

“You’re wrong for hitting him.” Raeleigh was so furious, and she did not know what to say. Even though Santiago held a grudge against Seibert, he should not do such a thing without reason…”

The sound of someone knocking on the door cut off her thought, and she went to open the door with a sullen expression. ‘It must be the cleaners,’ she thought.

Surprisingly, it was Jepherson. He stalked in, and he then glanced at her and said, “Go to my place first. I have a few words to say to Santiago.”

She turned to look at Santiago, hesitating if she should leave or not.

“Go.”

Santiago turned over his chair and waved his hand dismissively. Raeleigh came out of the office and left the two brothers alone.

She headed towards the elevator leading to Jepherson’s office. When she arrived at the door, she saw a man walking out of another elevator on the opposite side, with his head wrapped in bandages. She thought he must be Seibert.

Guilt rose in her heart. If he had not gone there to look for her, then he wouldn’t have gotten hurt.

She nodded at him, and she then waited in front of Jepherson’s office. Coincidentally, he was waiting for Jepherson too. She pushed the door, but it did not budge. The door was locked, so she could not enter. She could only wait for Jepherson to come back.

She stood there for a moment, staring at Seibert’s shirt collar in a daze. He wore a unique brooch shaped like a pair of silver wings on his collar, and they looked good on him. She thought it was improper to stare at him like that, so she tore her gaze away from his collar and looked elsewhere instead.

However, at that moment, Seibert seemed to have noticed that Raeleigh was staring at his brooch and quickly pulled his collar tightly.

When Jepherson returned to the office, he brought Santiago with him. Raeleigh took a step back when she saw the two of them approaching.

Jepherson came over and glanced at Seibert. He said, “You don’t have to follow me today. Go back and rest for a day. I will tell Mr. Alvin about Santiago, and he will decide how to deal with him. I promise I will bring you justice.”

Then, he pushed the door open and entered the office. The corners of Santiago’s lips curled into a smile. “I would like to see how you will survive under my watch.”

Seibert lowered his gaze and glanced at Jepherson as he entered the office. “If you are saying this because you need a spanking, then you may leave,” Jepherson warned.

Raeleigh tugged at Santiago’s arm and hissed, “Let’s go in.”

As Santiago followed her into the room, she whispered to Seibert, “You should go back and rest.”

Raeleigh closed the door after Santiago came in. Then, the three of them found their own places to sit.

“Our…”

Raeleigh intended to talk about the publicity work for her car design, but Jepherson and Santiago had already stood up and were headed towards the bookshelf. Since she did not have the chance to talk, she could only follow them. She was about to enter the secret room after the two of them went in.

“Don’t come in. Stand at the door and watch,” Jepherson said as he stood at the door. She thought for a moment, and she then finally decided to not go in. She thought maybe they had something important to discuss. However, she could not help but to grow curious upon seeing their mysterious and strange expressions.

Inside the secret room, Santiago stood aside as he stared at Raeleigh’s drawing. He smirked and said, “I want one.”

Jepherson lifted his head and answered immediately, “No.”

“Why?” Santiago seemed displeased. Jepherson raised his eyebrows and said, “I already saved one for myself.”

“Why don’t you save the next one instead?”

“No.”

…

Raeleigh stood there for a while, rendered speechless by their conversation. She thought it was inappropriate to eavesdrop on such a conversation, so she turned around and left.

She returned to the office and sat down on the couch. When Jepherson and Santiago finally came out of the secret room, she jumped up. She had almost fallen asleep waiting for them.

“Are you done?” She didn’t know what the two of them were up to. It didn’t make sense for them to argue over a car for so long. But she could not think of any other reason other than the car, as there was nothing else inside the room.

“We’re done. It’s getting late. Let’s go and eat.”

Santiago was about to grab Raeleigh’s hand when Jepherson shouted behind him, “Santiago.”

Santiago turned around. “What?”

“Can you help me? My pen is missing.”

“Find it yourself.”

“Please come here.”

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you are doing.”

Santiago turned around to face Jepherson. Jepherson knocked on the office table, and he then sat on it. He tilted his head and stared at Santiago. “Are you looking for a fight?”

Santiago’s face fell. “Alright. I’ll help you find it.”

…

Jepherson and Santiago had completely neglected Raeleigh. She sat on the couch, at a loss for words. Santiago had been looking for the pen for hours, but it was still nowhere to be found. Finally, she could no longer sit still. She asked impatiently, “Didn’t we agree to talk about promoting the cars?”

Jepherson looked up at her and said, “We have already agreed on it. Leave it all to Santiago. We are only in charge of the car design and will only participate in the designing process.”

“So… ”

“There’s nothing else to discuss.” Jepherson turned around and left. Just then, Santiago found the pen and threw it to him. “You should buy a remote-controlled one next time.”

“I’ll consider it.”

Santiago went around the table and came to Raeleigh’s side, and he then reached out to grab her arm. Jepherson swiftly pulled Raeleigh into his arms and said, “Let’s go.”

Then, he took her outside. After walking out of the office, he headed for the elevator. Santiago chased after them, trying to grab Raeleigh’s hand. Jepherson turned around and looked at him. “Santiago, are you itching for a beating?”

Santiago snorted and refused to look at him. “I don’t want to eat anymore. I’m in a bad mood. I have no appetite.”

Then, he turned around and walked away as Jepherson led Raeleigh into the elevator. Raeleigh stared at the elevator’s entrance, expecting Santiago to show up, but he didn’t.

The elevator door closed, and she squirmed out of Jepherson’s grip. She looked up at his handsome face and asked, “How did you manage to subdue him?”

“He can’t beat me.” His face was calm, but there was a hint of carelessness in his tone.

“Did you two fight?”

She could not recall the two of them fighting in front of her. Could it be that…

They had fought in Santiago’s office?

“Is it bad?”

“No, it’s not that.”

Raeleigh remained silent and said nothing else.

After leaving the office, she followed Jepherson to dinner, and she then returned to the hospital after dinner.

Raeleigh didn’t leave Jepherson’s side until she finally returned to her place with Xanthus. She sat down on her bed and stared into the vacant space with a puzzled look on her face.

“What is it? Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?” Xanthus sat down and looked at her. She thought for a while and told Xanthus about what happened. Xanthus was silent for a while before saying, “Jepherson is trying to make you stay, so he is fully utilizing these three months.”
