Getting My Ex-wife Back

Seeing Hadrian, Scarlette’s face turned extremely grim. Never in her wildest imaginations had she thought he would appear in front of her and travel-worn at that.

Where he came from was obviously just as cold as the sanatorium as he was wearing a black below-the-knee puffer jacket, with a white sweater and black pants. It was the first time she saw him in winter boots; he looked utterly lifeless.

He was also slinging a black backpack, Scarlette’s favorite, on his right shoulder while carrying a handbag in his left hand, Hadrian’s favorite.

It seemed that he was not surprised to see her. After putting the two bags down, he walked to her and looked at her with his head low.

“Great, now that your legs are broken, let’s see where else you can go.” Hadrian gritted his teeth. It seemed that he wanted to rain millions of hatred on her, but he couldn’t utter a word, feeling a dull pain in his chest.

Tears fell from her ghastly face thereupon.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson and wondered if his call the day before was to Hadrian.

Scarlette’s cried silently, and Hadrian’s eyes were bloodshot, but he didn’t let his weak side show and looked to Jepherson and Raeleigh instead. “Thank you, guys. I’d like to talk to Scarlette in private, please.”

Not even looking at Scarlette, Jepherson walked out of the room with Raeleigh behind him.

Raeleigh turned to look at the door after exiting. Hadrian had locked it; he didn’t intend to let them back in.

Then, she turned to Jepherson and said, “You didn’t leave because you were waiting for Hadrian?”

Without a word, he walked toward the exit of the sanatorium. Raeleigh stood rooted to the spot for a while, thinking what was up with him.

Resigned, she followed him. Jepherson didn’t walk fast, but just like anyone with long legs, they strode, never waiting.

She thought Jepherson would not wait for her, but it was evident he paced for her to catch up.

However, Raeleigh deliberately strolled, thinking and looking around as she walked.

In the end, Jepherson had to turn around, staring at her from a distance.

Even so, Raeleigh played dumb, taking her time to get to him.

“I’m freezing!” She actually wasn’t but still said so. With that, he immediately took off his coat and draped it on her. Looking at her shoulder, she thought his coat was so long that she could wear it as a dress.

After that, he continued to walk ahead. Seeing that he was only wearing a sweater, she asked, “Are you not cold now that you’ve given me your coat?”

“I’m fine!”

Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh and walked to the exit with his hands behind his back. The car was parked outside the gates, so they’d still have to walk a distance.

With that, she returned the jacket to him and said, “Put it on. I’d have to take care of you if you’re sick.”

His eyes were bottomless as he glanced at Raeleigh. “You’d still have to take care of me even if I’m not sick.”

“Beats having to carry you on my back.”

Raeleigh said as she walked ahead. He put on his jacket and followed her to the gates. Midway, she turned back to see that he was slowly catching up.

Seeing that he didn’t button up his coat, she pointed at it. “Button it up.”

Jepherson looked at his coat and did as he was told, rather obedient.

After they were out the gates, Raeleigh asked, “Will Scarlette be staying in Everland from now on?”

“She won’t. She’s one of us; I won’t let her stay here.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jepherson was resolute. Thinking for a moment, she asked, “You treat everyone around you well, don’t you?”

Jepherson didn’t answer. When they reached the car, he opened the door and gestured to Raeleigh to get in with his chin. However, she didn’t get in immediately but stood in front of the door instead. “You’ve long thought of her as your sister, don’t you?”

Hearing that, Jepherson let go of the door and pressed her head, shoving her into the car. She didn’t like he was doing that; it felt as if he was a shepherd dog while she was a lamb. She could get in the car on her own. Why did he have to do that?

However, he still succeeded.

Sitting inside, she watched as he got in. She didn’t know where the car came from, but he was familiar with driving it.

After leaving, Raeleigh leaned against the car to keep warm. On the other hand, Jepherson drove with one hand and unbuttoned her collar with the other.

She threw a glance at Jepherson and thought he was bizarre. If he weren’t the president of a company, he might be more approachable.

“Are we not going to wait for Hadrian and Scarlette before going back?” Raeleigh said with her eyes half-closed. He didn’t answer, focused on driving as he draped the coat he had taken off before getting into the car on her. After putting her hands into it, she felt much warmer.

After the car pulled over at Rayan’s villa, he got out of the car and walked to her side, then opened the door and waited for her to come out. However, she was sleeping snuggly, unwilling to leave, but she still got out, seeing that he was waiting outside.

She believed there were probably only a handful of people that could get the high and mighty young master of the Richards family to open the door for them.

After getting out of the car, she waited for him before entering Rayan’s villa together.

In a low voice, she asked him about Jacky’s whereabouts, but he did not answer.

Raeleigh didn’t see Deanna when they entered, so she asked only to learn she was resting upstairs.

Like a couple of days before, the Richards couple and Whalen couple were seated downstairs. Seeing Raeleigh, Hannah invited her to join them, but she kindly declined, saying she wanted to see Deanna.

“Go ahead. She may still be awake.” Hannah said.

Raeleigh thanked her and headed upstairs. After reaching Deanna’s room, she knocked on the door and spoke up.

“Deanna, I’m leaving. I’m here to see you and tell you about Scarlette.”

Now that Scarlette’s incident was out in the open, Raeleigh didn’t need to be secretive.

The people downstairs weren’t bothered either. Scarlette was a good kid, and Rayan was merely doing his daughter a favor. Moreover, Hannah was shrewd, so she didn’t need the specifics to know what was happening.

Hearing it was Raeleigh, Deanna immediately woke up from her dream and rushed to the door. But as soon as she got to it, she remembered she was pregnant and opened the door slowly, then pulled Raeleigh in.

“Why are you leaving so soon?”

She asked eagerly after Raeleigh entered. Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, “I’ve already done what was promised, so it’s only natural for me to leave. What can I do if I stay anyway?”

Deanna pondered. “You’re right.”

She sat back down and looked at Raeleigh. “Jacky told me you’re also in a bad situation. Do you want me to get Zorion to help you out?”

Deanna had given it some thought. When Jacky left, he said it was all thanks to Raeleigh that they could meet, and he thought they should repay her.

As Deanna didn’t like to owe favors, she took the initiative to return them.
