Getting My Ex-wife Back

Jepherson looked angry. She turned to look at Jepherson in the car. It made no sense for him to be angry since it wasn’t his fault.

Raeleigh could feel the tension in the car as she leaned back in her seat. She looked outside the car window before shifting her gaze to her finger. It was going to take them slightly longer than usual to reach the hospital as the roads were a little slippery due to the snow. Raeleigh was toying with the ring on her finger when it inadvertently came off.

Raeleigh lowered her head and looked at her fingers strangely. Then, she looked over at Jepherson and said, “The ring came off. I’ve saved you the hassle of going to the hospital.”

Jepherson was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked over at Raeleigh coldly. That was the first time she had seen him like this. She didn’t know why he was so angry. She felt that it wasn’t a big deal. It seemed like Jepherson was very angry and he couldn’t hold back his anger.

Jepherson reached out for the ring and he then slid it onto his pinky. He twisted it around a few times to make sure it sat properly on the base of his finger. He turned to look outside and said coldly, “Go back to the hospital.”

“Yes, Mr. Jepherson.”

The driver held his breath as he quickly drove towards the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, Jepherson immediately got out of the car and entered the hospital. He didn’t even wait for Raeleigh.

Sensing the atmosphere, the driver quickly got out of the car and walked Raeleigh into the hospital.

Raeleigh felt that Jepherson was being very unreasonable. This wasn’t her fault.

As soon as she arrived at her ward, she immediately informed Xanthus that she was back before taking a shower and going to bed.

Raeleigh lay down on the bed, hoping that she would be able to fall asleep. However, she kept tossing and turning.

She couldn’t fall asleep.

Raeleigh’s thoughts were all over the place. If she went to Jepherson at that time, then it meant that she admitted she had lost. However, the thought of spending the night with Jepherson made her go crazy!

The problem was that she had already made a promise to him. She was not the kind of person who would break her promises.

She debated with herself for a long time before deciding to call him.

However, Jepherson ended Raeleigh’s call. He didn’t pick up her call. He stood up and was about to head outside.

When Santiago saw this, he asked, “Where are you going?”

Jepherson stopped and looked at Santiago. “Nowhere. I just want to use the restroom.”

Jepherson had initially intended to go out, but he decided to go to the restroom instead. Then, he received another call from Raeleigh. He was getting annoyed, so he decided to turn off his phone.

By the time Jepherson got back to the ward, it was already late at night. He immediately went to bed.

Raeleigh spent the entire night tossing and turning in bed. She didn’t manage to sleep it at all. She looked especially pale in the morning. Xanthus couldn’t help but to ask when he saw her, “What happened?”

Raeleigh shook her head. “I’m fine. It’s just that I didn’t sleep well last night.”

Xanthus touched Raeleigh’s forehead to make sure she was not lying.

Raeleigh went to look for Jepherson after breakfast, but when she found him, he acted as if nothing had happened. She walked over to him and asked, “Are we heading into the office today?”

“There’s no need to.”

That was all Jepherson said.

Raeleigh stood aside, a little speechless.

“Did you two have a fight?” Santiago was lying in bed. Although he was allowed to get out of bed, he couldn’t walk around.

Jepherson lowered his head slightly. “Are you full?”

Santiago was slightly amused. “No, I’m still hungry.”

“You should eat more then. It’d be better if you stuffed yourself to death.”

Jepherson stood up and left the room. He looked very upset with everyone as he made his way towards the elevator.

Raeleigh quickly followed him out to the elevator.

“Jepherson.”

“It’s Mr. Richards,” Jepherson said as he did his best to keep his frustration in check. Raeleigh was not surprised by his attitude. He briefly glanced at Raeleigh before turning away.

Raeleigh pulled Jepherson. “What do you actually want? I didn’t break my promise.”

Raeleigh was a little angry. That was why she spoke a little loudly.

Jepherson suddenly looked at Raeleigh. “What’s the point of telling me this now?”

“I called you last night. You chose not to answer my call. You even turned off your phone. Why don’t you turn on your phone and check?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Raeleigh was simmering with anger as she spoke. Her face had even turned red.

At that time, there were also some people in the corridor, including Xanthus. He couldn’t tell what was going on. He just stared at them blankly.

Jepherson turned away and gritted his teeth. He pressed the elevator button and went in.

Raeleigh stood outside. “I can keep my promise, but you don’t want me to.”

A wave of fury crashed through her.

Jepherson stood in the elevator as he clenched his fist. He was silent with rage.

The door of the elevator closed and Raeleigh was about to leave. However, Jepherson quickly pressed the button to open the elevator door and pulled her in.

Xanthus, who was watching the scene unfold, was stunned for a moment.

Raeleigh was pressed against the elevator. Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with his fiery eyes. “What are you planning to do now?”

Raeleigh was blushing furiously. Her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

She pursed her lips and said calmly, “I’m planning to make up for it today.”

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and asked, “Twelve hours?”

Raeleigh replied blankly, “I thought you said one night?”

“Is there any difference?”

…

Raeleigh reluctantly nodded. Jepherson raised his wrist and checked the time. “It’s nine o’clock right now.”

Raeleigh frowned. “Are we starting now?”

“Yup.”

Raeleigh was at a loss for words.

Why was he in such a hurry?

“I thought we were supposed to head into the office?”

“Not today.” His voice was hoarse. Jepherson put his hands around Raeleigh’s waist and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her. Raeleigh frowned as she looked at Jepherson. She raised her hand to push him away but he lowered his head and looked at her hand before looking at her with questioning eyes.

Raeleigh hurriedly withdrew her hands. It was as if Jepherson could read Raeleigh’s thoughts. He said in a low voice, “Hold me.”

“Don’t cross the line.”

“I’m not,” Jepherson retorted immediately. Raeleigh did not say anything. He was so brazen.

Raeleigh did not argue. Jepherson lowered his head to kiss her, but she turned her face away. He was dissatisfied. Jepherson raised Raeleigh’s chin and lowered his head to kiss her. “Will you bite me?”

Raeleigh was breathless by the time he pulled away. She hadn’t done this in a while.

She pursed her lips. “I will fulfil my promise since I already gave you my word. But you can’t go too far. You know I will not respond.”

Jepherson stared at Raeleigh’s face and smiled lightly before kissing her fiercely. Raeleigh wasn’t able to react in time and was out of breath. Every time she wanted to resist, she would dismiss the idea because of what Jepherson said.

Raeleigh followed Jepherson into the car after stepping out of the elevator. As soon as they entered, Jepherson held Raeleigh’s hand tightly and ordered the driver to go to a nearby hotel.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, who looked very desperate.
