Getting My Ex-wife Back

Marissa’s action got everyone directing their gaze at her. However, she only looked at Raeleigh and Xanthus and said, “The Richards family is noble; we won’t accept a wh*re into our family. Now bring your friend and get lost.”

“Mom, what are you doing?” Before Jepherson could say anything, Hansen refuted as she had crossed the line.

Hadn’t his mother figured it all out yet?

It was not Raeleigh that insisted on marrying into their family, but Jepherson insisted on marrying her.

She threw a look at her son with a tense face and said, “Our family is highly reputable; not just about any woman can marry into our family.”

“I’m sure Jerry’s clear what kind of person Raeleigh is; she doesn’t need you telling who she is and isn’t. After all, you’re not the one kissing Raeleigh; how would you know whether she’s good or bad?”

Hansen’s words got Raeleigh stumped. What future father-in-law would put things that way?

She then snuck a peek at Jenna, who didn’t seem to care at all, but who knew what she was thinking.

Jepherson wrapped Raeleigh’s hand in his and said, “I do know.”

“Since you do, leave with her then, lest things escalate in such a late night. Since grandmother doesn’t like Raeleigh, no need to bring her here so often; stay in Green Jade Garden.”

“Okay.”

With that, Jepherson stood up and escorted Raeleigh to the door, making small talk and putting the coat on her as they left.

Jepherson’s eyes were filled with happiness. Now that his father had saved his pride, he would leave the rest to him.

“All of you are trying to bully me, aren’t you?” Marissa roared at his son. However, Hansen glanced at Stella. “Stella, Jenna and I watched you grow up. You’re a great child, but I’m afraid our family doesn’t have the good fortune to have you as one of us.”

Then he turned to Marissa and said, “Jerry told me that you’ve been in poor health recently and would be moody sometimes. I thought I could have a chat with you when I come back, but now it seems unnecessary.”

With that, he glanced at Jenna. “What did I tell you? This isn’t a matter that will subside with patience and compromise, but you wouldn’t listen. Look how things have turned out. Let’s go.”

He grabbed Jenna by her hand and took her away.

Meanwhile, Xanthus and Raeleigh were also walking toward Green Jade Garden. Jenna, on the other hand, wasn’t upset when she came out as she knew her husband’s thoughts after being by his side for so many years.

Nevertheless, she was still a little worried. She had offended her mother-in-law this time anyhow; the road ahead was still long. What should she do?

Jenna shook her head as she walked. On seeing her downhearted expressions, Hansen held her hand tightly and gave her a pinch. With a dull pain in her head, she turned to look at her husband. “What is it?”

“We’re here.” Hansen led her into Green Jade Garden. The servants were already at the opened door, waiting.

“Prepare supper for us.”

All that fuss got Hansen hungry.

“You’re eating at this late hour?”

“Yeah.”

Jenna asked; Hansen replied.

Jenna thought for a moment and told the servant, “Don’t worry about it; leave him to me.”

After that, Jenna went to the kitchen and prepared food for her husband.

The doctor said the number one thing to avoid for older people was to eat supper. However, Hansen had developed a habit of having something late at night in recent years.

All the undigested food stored in his body caused a burden and led to illnesses with time.

However, no matter how she dissuaded, he would not listen. After all, he was hungry.

Thus, Jenna could only think of making him healthy suppers that would not cause a burden to his body.

As soon as Jenna entered the kitchen, she saw that Raeleigh was making fish soup.

As Raeleigh was somewhat lost in thought, she didn’t hear someone coming in. By the time she heard noises and turned around, Jenna was already by her side. Stumped, she quickly said, “You’re here too?”

“Your father insists on having something to eat. Eating at night puts a lot of pressure on his viscera at his age. It’s not good for him, so I thought I’d make him some polenta.”

Raeleigh had heard of polenta, but she had never had it, though she had eaten cornmeal porridge before.

However, her grandmother had told her before that polenta was just the same as cornmeal porridge. She used to have it all the time back when she was in the countryside. However, it did not take long for Raeleigh to forget about it.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Jenna thought for a moment and looked at the fish soup Raeleigh was cooking, “Is it good?”

“It’s very fresh. It’s not a good idea to have a proper meal for supper, but Jepherson said he was tired after all that fuss and wanted to eat something. I originally wanted to make something light, but he said that he wanted fish. Hence, this.”

“But it still won’t do the body well to have fish so late. Although it’s nutritious, there’s still fat inside.”

“I’ll put some vegetables in so it won’t be a burden to the body, and the fat can be easily discharged.”

As Raeleigh explained, Jenna’s eyes shone. “Really? Can we have some too?”

“Sure, there’s still a lot. I’ll bring it to you later.”

“Why don’t we eat together?” Jenna’s eyes narrowed, all smiles, looking swooned.

Sometimes it was hard for Raeleigh to take in Jenna’s cloying smile.

Forcing a smile, Raeleigh concentrated on making the soup, and seeing that Jenna left her be, she turned back around and breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’ll go back first and come back later. And… do ask Dr. Osteen to join us too; I can help find him a girlfriend in the meantime.”

Jenna said as she left the kitchen. Raeleigh turned to look at her and found it strange that her future mother-in-law liked to poke her nose into other people’s business.

No… she was trying to help!

Raeleigh broke into a smile at the thought. Be it that she thought so.

A thought came to her mind when the soup was ready. She filled a bowl and went to Jenna.

After putting down the soup, she went to call Xanthus and Jepherson out. As Xanthus was already ready to sleep, he didn’t come out.

On the other hand, Jepherson went over with Raeleigh.

Raeleigh sat down and had a little bit of the soup with them.

As they were eating, Jepherson kept saying Raeleigh loved vegetables and fish. And making it so was very nutritious and a sensible diet.

Anyhow, all that he said were praises for her.

Listening to her son’s words, Jenna nudged her husband with her leg, but he pretended not to see anything and drank the soup. “Rest early; it’s getting late.”

Raeleigh grew a little anxious when she saw Hansen stand up. She had yet to bring the subject up.

With that, Raeleigh opened her mouth but did not bring it up in the end. It seemed pretty abrupt to bring the matter up at such a late hour. But what if future opportunities ended up so if she did not speak up now?

Just as she was hesitating, Jenna suddenly said, “Hansen, I want to sleep with Raeleigh tonight.”

Hansen was initially looking a little tired and wanted to say something. However, after hearing Jenna’s words, he was wide awake. He turned around and looked at Jenna, displeased.

They were the husband and wife here!
