Getting My Ex-wife Back

She thought Raeleigh was vicious; she actually cursed Madam Marissa.

But why didn’t Mr. Jepherson do anything?

Oddly, Jepherson laid back down after sitting for a while. Immediately, she turned her gaze back at Raeleigh, wide-eyed, refusing to believe Raeleigh was unaware he had awoken.

“Raeleigh, Mr. Jepherson’s blanket.” She thought she should remind her. The room was freezing even with an additional heater.

With that, Raeleigh stood up, went to Jepherson, and tucked him in again while he looked to be genuinely asleep, lying motionless in bed. After that, she went back to Scarlette and continued talking to her.

Scarlette said in disbelief, “Raeleigh, he…”

“People come and go, just like plants that could only live for a season. Although life could not last forever, everybody has a shining moment in their lives and a place where they lived for themselves. Plants would also live for the sake of reproduction, ensuring that their species would never go extinct…”

“Although things might come to an end, life was never meaningless.”

“Nobody did anything without considering themselves, just like how flowers would fight just to be the prettiest among the bunch. It’s nothing even if we don’t marry or even be accepted as a couple.

“I don’t care what others think or if they approve of our relationship. What matters is I’m willing.”

“His grandmother opposes our relationship and wants to come between us. I didn’t cross the line but only talked behind her back. If he is even splitting hairs over this, we will never see the end.”

“Scarlette… Deanna and Jacky love each other, but because of his social status, he’s constantly hindered. He and I are quite alike, I think. That’s why I agreed to help him even though I knew I might not be able to do anything.”

“I don’t know why but my mind told me I should.”

“Thinking about it now, it’s because we’re going through a similar experience.”

“How sad it is if two lovers can’t be together. External factors ended up determining many peoples’ fate. Perhaps wealth, pride, status, and freedom are important right now.”

“But I don’t wish to regret it when I become an old woman with my children and grandchildren around me, suddenly recalling the man who once loved me.”

Scarlette stared at Raeleigh as her heart went to Hadrian…

She nervously took a sip of water. As she placed the cup down, a drop of tear fell into the cup. Scarlette said, “I’m tired; I want to rest.”

She handed the cup to Raeleigh. When she came back after placing the cup down, Scarlette had already laid down.

Raeleigh tucked her in, then bent over and said, “Maybe you don’t think much of it now; you won’t be afraid even if you’re alone. But you’ll come around many years later when you look back, lying on your deathbed, finding a person had done nothing but searched for you his whole life until he dies in front of you.”

With that, she returned to Jepherson’s side. She sat down and placed her hands under Jepherson’s body; she felt more comfortable like that.

Jepherson unbuttoned his shirt under the covers and put Raeleigh’s hands in his arms.

The moment he placed them on him, Raeleigh unconsciously moved her hands away a little. It was freezing; anyone’s hands and feet would be icy.

Leaning to one side, she fixed her gaze at the silent but teary-eyed Scarlette.

Raeleigh understood the pain of losing a child well, but all of it was no longer important. If it was destiny, then so be it; things would only turn for the better.

Scarlette fell asleep in tears soon after. She also fell asleep after eight, but just as she did so, Deanna knocked on the door and asked them to get up for dinner.

Jepherson got up, got dressed, and opened the door. Although half-asleep, Raeleigh still got up for dinner. If she didn’t, there wouldn’t be anything to eat if she got hungry later.

With that in mind, Raeleigh got up and woke Scarlette. After eating, none of them had the intention of resting immediately, so they all sat together.

Deanna spoke the most, followed by Raeleigh. The guys barely spoke, let alone Scarlette. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that Jepherson was glaring daggers at her even as she sat in bed.

It wasn’t until nearly eleven when Raeleigh said she was feeling sleepy that Deanna and Jacky left to rest.

Raeleigh got up several times at night to check on Scarlette. Scarlette was awake the entire night, her pillow wet from all the tears.

Deanna received a call from her father the next morning asking when she would return. As a result, she bawled her eyes out, hugging Jacky after she ended the call.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The other three were heartbroken even just looking at them.

With Deanna in his arms, he lowered his head and kissed her face, “I’m already happy to be able to meet you. Baby, you must take care of yourself and our child. I’m very worried.”

Jacky hugged Deanna, not willing to let go.

Deanna shook her head. “Let’s elope.”

Raeleigh was rendered speechless.

And so was Scarlette.

If Rayan heard her words, they could not imagine how he would react.

His daughter, whom he loved with all his heart, was going to run away with a boy?

At the very least, Jacky was sensible, “No, how can we elope? It won’t do our baby good. Don’t worry; I’ll go back and find a way to become more powerful. I’ll come and get you once I’m capable enough.”

“I don’t want that of you; you’re already very powerful.”

As she spoke, Deanna cried piteously.

Jacky wiped her tears away and said, “I need to be powerful for your sake and to be able to protect our child.”

Deanna then lowered her head, silent for some time before nodding.

At last, she stopped crying. Jacky wiped her tears away before he turned to Raeleigh. “I’ll leave her to you.”

Raeleigh glanced at Jepherson and then at Jacky. “I can’t help you this time; I won’t be going back. I’m staying to take care of Scarlette. You’d better get rid of him.”

Jacky looked at the person Raeleigh was referring to. Jepherson?

“Are you bringing her back?”

However, Jepherson’s face darkened in an instant. “Send her back for me.”

Hearing that, Raeleigh turned to him. “You’re joking!”

“Do I look like I am?” Jepherson looked dead serious. Raeleigh didn’t think he was.

“But if he goes, what are we going to do if something happens?”

“If something were to happen, it would already have.” Jepherson was sure about it, and it got her believing everything would be fine when he put it that way.

“Since everything will be fine, go back with Deanna then. I’ll stay and take care of Scarlette,” Raeleigh said again. Jacky looked at Jepherson with confusion.

“Xanthus is waiting for you at the door. He has a car.” Jepherson said.

Jacky threw a look at him before leaving with Deanna.

After they left, Raeleigh turned to him, “You’re really not leaving?”

“I’m waiting for someone, so not for the time being,” Jepherson said and headed out. Though he said so, Raeleigh didn’t take it seriously. However, in the evening, someone really came.

Not just Raeleigh, but Scarlette was surprised as well. What Jepherson said was real!
