Getting My Ex-wife Back

However, Raeleigh shook her head and refused.

“It’s fine; I can deal with it myself. I’ll look for him if I really need to.”

In actuality, she had no intentions of approaching Zorion, even if she was driven to a corner.

Deanna blinked twice. “Raeleigh, I hate owing favors the most.”

“I didn’t say you do, and you don’t. Jacky came to me himself; his determination moved me. I merely tagged along on this trip, trying my luck, that’s all. I didn’t expect to be this lucky.”

She really didn’t like to interact with Zorion. To her, regardless of the reason, since some things did happen in the past, then there was no way she would forget everything.

Thus, she didn’t want to have much to do with people like him. He was different from Deanna. Deanna was the carefree, harmless type, but he was like a businessman; he had his own views on everything. It wasn’t that people like him were bad, but Raeleigh preferred the quiet life, best that she didn’t have to socialize at all.

After Raeleigh said all she wanted to, she turned to leave, not waiting for Deanna to say more. Worried that Raeleigh would leave just like that, Deanna got up and grabbed her hand, stopping her with a hug.

“Raeleigh, I really don’t want you to leave.”

In all honesty, Deanna was really reluctant for anyone to leave her right then, but she had no choice; her belly was getting bigger by the day. Rayan had told her to keep the baby, but no one could know about it. Otherwise, she would be an embarrassment to the Whalen family, and she would not be able to have a foothold in society in the future.

It meant that she could not go back until she gave birth to the baby.

Deanna didn’t know if her father was right, but she told Jacky about it. Even though he didn’t agree, he didn’t refute either. It wasn’t until she pestered him repeatedly that he said it wasn’t wrong as a father to do so.

With that, Deanna agreed reluctantly; she had no better ideas, but she genuinely wanted to go back with Raeleigh, not just for Jacky.

However, Raeleigh didn’t have a clue about any of it; she just knew Deanna was really pitiful.

Hugging Deanna, Raeleigh patted her shoulder and consoled, “It’s just a short separation. It’s not a bad thing for you to stay here; you need a quiet place to raise your baby and a good environment to rest. At least I think so.”

In turn, Deanna pushed her away and twitched her lips, looking like a child. “Will you come and see me again?”

“Of course I will, but I need time. Though I’m not sure if I do.”

“Then you have to free up some time. You can also call when you’re free. Please, Raeleigh.”

Deanna put her hands together and begged, and Raeleigh immediately understood what she was trying to do.

“Then you’ll have to give me your number at least. Also, you have to make sure my calls can go through. Otherwise, it’ll be useless if it’s an idle number.”

“Come with me.”

Pulling on Raeleigh, Deanna left her room eagerly but calmed down after she was out, taking steady steps, looking like someone who was about to act boorishly but suddenly remembered she was a princess. She took Raeleigh downstairs to her parents.

“Dad, please give Raeleigh your phone number. I want to call her. I don’t know why but none of my calls could get through ever since I came here, not even when I called Zorion.”

As she spoke, Deanna blinked her big round eyes. Anyone with discerning eyes knew what was going on, let alone Jenna and Hansen.

The couple had a tacit understanding. It was a sign that the child had grown up and had become independent.

No matter what your thoughts were, even if they came out of your belly, the two of you don’t share a brain. You would never understand their mindset; when they thought yes, you would think otherwise and vice versa, simple. Perhaps like father, like son, neither would meet halfway.

Hansen took a sip of tea as Rayan took out his phone. “Raeleigh, is that so?”

Raeleigh replied courteously, “Yes.”

“What’s your number?”

With that, Raeleigh told Rayan her number. Deanna took her father’s phone and called Raeleigh directly; it rang indeed. However, worried still, she made another call to Raeleigh with her mother’s phone.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“This child.” Hannah could only let her daughter have her way.

“I’m just making sure, lest you won’t let me chat with anyone. Raeleigh, when you call, if my dad’s number can’t get through, or that he said I’m busy, don’t believe him, I’m free 24/7. You can call my mom too.”

Deanna was doing this just in case.

With that, Raeleigh wore an awkward smile. What would a parent think of a daughter like her?

“You’re outrageous. Don’t you have a phone? Why can’t yours get through when ours can? It’s all the same.”

Hannah couldn’t stand it anymore. She was her daughter; there was no way she’d be hard on her, would she?

She knew her daughter like the back of her hand. She grew up innocent and worry-free; she wouldn’t even know what money was for even if you asked of her. But now, she was even scheming against them for her boyfriend. There was no reason for them to really drive her to a corner and have them turn against each other.

So what if she got pregnant before marriage? Wasn’t she like that too back then?

Hannah had made peace. Deanna had only wanted to make phone calls.

She was all alone here, but she had a playful spirit; she’d be bored to death if there were no one to talk to.

There was no way she’d be pregnant again when she was miles away now, could she?

With Hannah’s reminder, Deanna quickly went back up to get her phone and called Raeleigh in front of everyone. She even told Raeleigh, “Raeleigh, call me first. If you can’t get through, call my dad. If he is busy or has engagements, call my mom. Oh, right, we have two landlines here. I’ll text you the numbers. Save them. If you can’t get through to any of us, call the landlines.”

“If you still can’t get through…”

When it seemed that there was no other option, an idea suddenly struck Deanna, and she said, “If you still can’t get through, you can call my servants. I’ll save all their numbers and send them to you later.”

Feeling even more awkward, Raeleigh nearly burst into laughter.

Fortunately, she could hold it back and managed to do so in the end.

Meanwhile, Hansen stood up with Jenna and said, “I forgot to tell you guys, we’re just dropping by. The purpose of our trip is to visit Raeleigh’s grandmother and parents.”

This trip? The purpose…
