Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh and Jepherson talked deep into the night, but she still got up early in the morning. As soon as she woke up, she went to check on Santiago.

Hearing the knock on his door, Santiago got up to open it. Raeleigh stood outside the door. She was visibly relieved when she saw that Santiago was fine.

“Do you want to go out for breakfast?” Raeleigh couldn’t tell Santiago that she had gone out of her way just to fuss over him.

He glanced at her with disdain in his eyes. “I thought you came to see me.”

“Please, don’t flatter yourself.”

She then walked away. Subconsciously glancing at her surroundings, the door behind her closed, and she went to made breakfast.

She had been outside for some time before the three guys woke up.

It was the first time she had seen the locals in the morning; they were busy shouting out their wares to attract customers.

Some would inadvertently raise their hands at Raeleigh to greet her, and she would return the greeting in second nature.

Raeleigh even bought a few apples. When Jepherson came out, she happened to return, carrying the apples with her. He casually took the apples from her and walked back in with his hand around her, asking how many she bought and how much she paid.

“A dollar per apple. I bought five, and they gave me one for free, so six.”

Raeleigh felt a little self-conscious at the enthusiastic welcome she received.

Jepherson took Raeleigh inside and headed to the kitchen. He put the apples on a platter, then went out to get Santiago and Jacky.

Jepherson knocked twice on Santiago’s door, and it didn’t take long for Santiago to get up.

Santiago first went to wash up. By the time he came out and joined them, Jepherson and Raeleigh were already eating.

“Don’t forget your lunch with Mr. Jormen. Bring Raeleigh and Jacky with you and the tea leaves as well. Tell him they’re from you.”

After he was done eating, Jepherson wiped his mouth and stood up.

Raeleigh got up as well and saw Jepherson to the door. “Do you have something to attend to?”

“My grandmother wants me to go back. I’ll go and take a look.”

Jepherson got into the car and told Raeleigh, who was standing outside, “Remember what you promised me. If you break it, I will…”

“I know. I won’t break it.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The chauffeur instantly closed the door as soon as he heard Jepherson knock on the armrest. He greeted Raeleigh politely before turning around and got into the car.

Raeleigh didn’t go back in until the car drove out of sight. Meanwhile, the other two had already finished eating, and Santiago went to get changed. He threw the box of tea leaves to Raeleigh and said, “Don’t forget to take this with you.”

Raeleigh hurriedly caught the box then followed Santiago and Jacky back to Capital City to meet Mr. Jormen.

Mr. Jormen worked in the government sector, but he was mainly responsible for human resources.

Mr. Jormen had booked a table and called Santiago then after in hopes that he would meet up. Santiago declined the day before, leading Mr. Jormen to make another call early that morning. However, Santiago first got himself a fancy outfit to change into when they arrived at Capital City and even went to his family beauty salon to get his hair styled before they rendezvoused with Mr. Jormen. By the time he was ready, it was already noon.

Mr. Jormen made another call to Santiago, and he responded by saying he was nearby, then asked where they would be dining.

Raeleigh sat in the car and peered at Santiago. He liked green; the greener, the better, emeralds especially.

When they arrived, Santiago and Jacky got off the car in succession; Raeleigh was the last one to get off. Santiago took hold of Raeleigh’s hand and strode into the restaurant.

Jacky followed closely behind the two of them as they headed for the restaurant.

Before she entered the door, Raeleigh saw several beautiful young waitresses standing by the entrance, coming up to greet Santiago as they approached. “Welcome, Mr. Santiago.”

Santiago’s lips curled into a smile that emanated a sinister aura. His amorous eyes were as seductive as a fox.

The girls blushed, and their hearts beat fast as they thought Santiago was into them.

Walking further in, a slightly older man greeted them.

“Mr. Santiago.”

He looked to be in his forties. His eyes shone brightly, and he looked suave, wearing an aqua blue dress shirt paired with a black suit. Raeleigh looked at the man, but that man kept his gaze focused on Santiago, never sparing a glance to anyone else.

Miffed, she turned to look at Santiago and had a good idea what was going on. A public figure would never acknowledge a hedonistic b*stard. After all, to people like them, Santiago was a nobody, not even a noble heir.

To them, he was nothing more than a hedonistic son born to rich parents, ignorant and incompetent. It seemed that having an excellent family background meant nothing. He was regarded as an incompetent slacker, defective junk, to those high up in society.

The courtesy to invite Santiago for a meal was primarily out of regard for Jepherson.

Those who didn’t know nor had ever interacted with Santiago would believe him to be a useless piece of trash.

Raeleigh suddenly felt a wave of sympathy for Santiago. They were both Hansen’s sons, but Santiago was looked down upon.

Santiago stopped and stared at him. “Are you Mr. Jormen’s son?”

“I’m his younger brother.”

The man answered politely and sternly. Amusement flashed across Santiago as he glanced at the elevator and asked, “Will we be dining upstairs?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Let’s go then.”

“After you, Mr. Santiago.”

Although the man was polite, Raeleigh didn’t sense an ounce of respect in his words.

When the elevator opened, the man waited for Santiago and Raeleigh to enter before walking in. Seeing the door was about to close, Santiago blocked it. The man saw him stopping the door but did nothing other than looking at the person who hadn’t gotten on yet. Raeleigh couldn’t overlook the contempt in his eyes.

She was perplexed. If such a person wasn’t on the same boat as the Richards family, why did he want to entertain them?

After Jacky entered, Santiago pressed the button on the elevator. He then raised his hand to pat Raeleigh’s face gently. “Let’s go and look at some jewelry after the meal.”

Santiago laughed without restraint. Raeleigh obviously knew he was just putting on an act, so she took hold of Santiago’s arm and played along.

Jacky stood beside them; hands hung to his sides as he stared at the elevator’s floor display. When the elevator stopped, Mr. Jormen’s brother was in no hurry to press the button to open the doors. Jacky did it instead and stepped out; the arrogance on his face did not pale compared to the man.

Mr. Jormen’s brother gave Jacky a quick look-over as he walked out the elevator. Then, he proceeded to walk to their destination without asking, as if he knew everything.

Raeleigh looked at the man’s face. He disregarded her entirely because she was a woman but had some opinions of Jacky instead; not a single moment gone noticed to her.
