Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Xanthus, I must have worried you with my affairs lately.” Raeleigh found a place to stop and chat with Xanthus.

“It’s fine. You’re my sister; it’s only natural for me to do anything for you. No need for all this.”

Raeleigh pursed her lips and said, “But even so, I’ve only been adding to your troubles, never once putting you at ease.”

“What’s the difference? Some things are inevitable; it’s better than not being able to find you. Am I supposed to complain about a little hardship after going through fire and water to search for my little sister?”

“Having a younger sister is just like having a child who dislikes school, worrying about whether they had their meals or going to school on time, then later, worrying about their future partners and children.”

“Even though we are worried, it is a process in life we have to go through. I would prefer to be worried about you than not finding you. Compared to Jepherson, I am much luckier.”

Raeleigh was so moved that she could not help shedding tears. Xanthus could not bear to see his sister cry, so he pulled her into his arms. But it was that hug that led to something unpleasant.

It was only a short hug. Raeleigh then brought up what Jenna said. He was a clever man, so he naturally knew what was going on. Anyone with sharp eyes could tell that Jenna was hinting to Raeleigh to find Jacky a chance when they went to Everland. As for how to seize the chance, it depended on Raeleigh.

“Raeleigh, have you thought this through? Rayan is no ordinary man; it’s not an exaggeration to say he’s the king of Capital City. You will have a hard time if you offend him.”

Xanthus was worried about Raeleigh, and she knew about it, but she was put in a tough spot.

“I’ve already promised Jacky; he wants to contact Deanna. If possible, I want to go, even if I can only see her.”

He really had to hand it to her. She seemed to have always found a way to defeat him.

“I’ll go with you to Everland then.”

That was all he could do.

She said in amusement, “Of course, you have to. We can go home in the meantime and visit Cynthia as well.”

Stumped, her beautiful face popped up in his mind as he smiled and shook his head. “She probably has a boyfriend now.”

“It doesn’t matter. We’ll just be there for a visit. Besides, I don’t think she’s someone who will get herself a boyfriend this soon.”

“If that’s the case, it’s even more reason for me not to go. She has someone else in her heart; it doesn’t make sense if I go.”

“Why are you finding a reason to like someone? Is my brother this spineless?” Raeleigh poked Xanthus twice, and he resigned.

“Having a sister like you is indeed very troublesome.”

She shrugged her shoulders. “Too bad; you’re stuck with me.”

Xanthus shook his head and went back with Raeleigh. As soon as they were back, Marissa sent someone to them.

The person was waiting in the living room with Jepherson sitting on the sofa, looking calm and unmoved.

As soon as Raeleigh entered, the man said, “Madam Marissa would like to speak to you, Miss Raeleigh.”

Raeleigh took a deep breath. She did not want to come here at all; it was too suffocating.

“I’ll go with you.”

As Xanthus said so, Jepherson also stood up and walked over to her. The servant turned around and left. It didn’t take long for them to arrive at Ink Garden, and they saw Jenna and her husband standing at the entrance.

Looking at Raeleigh, Jenna felt sorry for her and sighed.

Hansen had his hands behind his back and said nothing.

After greeting them, Raeleigh followed Jepherson and Xanthus to Marissa’s room. As soon as she entered, Marissa threw something at her.

There were photos. Raeleigh looked down but didn’t pick them up. She could see they were photos of her and Xanthus hugging.

Marissa disliked Raeleigh, so anything she did would be a sin in her eyes. So what if Raeleigh could explain it? Marissa might say there were in an incest relationship or that they were pretending to be siblings.

Raeleigh watched as Jepherson picked up one of the photos. After looking at it for a while, he turned to Raeleigh. “Why are you so careless?”

Raeleigh was speechless. What did he mean by that?

Marissa’s face sank. “What did you say? Are you crazy?”

“Aren’t you the one who is mad?”

Jepherson’s face darkened. Things were heading south.

Sweeping his sharp gaze across the room, the servants all lowered their heads. They knew he would not let this go so simply. However, Raeleigh had indeed crossed the line. She was already so bold as to do something like that in the manor; wouldn’t things only be worse if they were out of the compound?

“Everyone, get out. You’re not allowed back inside without my orders.”

The servants went out one after another. It was freezing outside, but they had no choice as they were there to serve her.

After they left, Jepherson bent down and picked up the photos one by one and presented them to Raeleigh. “These photos are not bad; you should keep them.”

Raeleigh put them away one by one, agreeing to him.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Xanthus was not interested in Jepherson’s family affairs. He took Raeleigh’s hand and headed out. “Let’s go.”

Stumped, Marissa clenched her fists, livid. “How dare you! Do you still want to…”

“Since you like Stella so much, have her stay with you, lest you make foolish decisions when you’re mad. She’s in your hands, Stella.”

With that, Jepherson went out. Marissa choked in anger and almost fainted.

Stella, who had been in a wheelchair the entire time, hurried to Marissa’s side. “Grandma.”

“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Marissa looked at Stella and said, “Don’t worry. This is just the beginning. I will make them regret it.”

Stella lay in Marissa’s arms. She did not answer but looked at the door with her shrewd eyes.

“This is also our beginning Raeleigh Anson,” she thought.

Raeleigh let out a loud sneeze when she exited Marissa’s room. Xanthus immediately stopped to look at her as she rubbed her nose.

“Are you feeling feverish?” he asked, and she shook her head, saying, “No, I’m just feeling a little chilly.”

“C’mon, let’s visit Stuart and get you some medicine in the meantime.”

Xanthus absolutely could not stand Marissa. She had been taking advantage of her seniority time and time. If he did not take Raeleigh away, she would definitely be hurt.

Raeleigh looked back at Jepherson, who was already out of the room. He nodded in agreement, not wanting her to be hurt either, so he didn’t stop them but instead sent a car to take Raeleigh and Xanthus to the hospital.

Jenna and Hansen never left, staying at Ink Garden, watching Raeleigh leave before returning to Marissa. Passing the entrance, she saw the servants were nearly frozen to death, and it wasn’t until she told them to head inside that they did.

Then the couple went to Marissa’s room. Jenna first went to see Marissa. “Mom, don’t be angry…”

“Shut up. Look at how you raised your son.”

Marissa did not give Jenna a chance to speak at all. Her mouth agape, she decided to keep her mouth shut. So be it if she refused to listen.
