Getting My Ex-wife Back

He saw Jepherson and his parents right after that, but he didn’t think so at first as Hansen and Jenna looked more like Jepherson’s older siblings.

“Miss, Madam was talking about how much she wished you were here yesterday.”

After Bernardo led the group in, Raeleigh introduced the Richards out of courtesy, “This is Mr. Richards; you two have met before.”

“Yes. Good day, Mr. Richards.” Bernardo greeted.

“This is Mr. Richards’s parents; this is our butler, Bernardo.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Raeleigh’s introduction surprised Bernardo. “Mr. Richards’s parents are so young.”

“You’re too kind.”

Jenna was all smiles as she replied. Stumped, Jenna left a good impression on Bernardo. At the very least, she was unpretentious and courteous.

“Mr., Mrs. Richards, let’s go inside.”

At this point, it was too late for Raeleigh to say anything; she could only improvise. However, there was no way she’d address Jepherson’s parents as Mom and Dad in front of her own family.

Jenna also understood that although she would usually playfully have Raeleigh address them as her actual parents, it was the usual. They were at her family’s home right then; it wouldn’t be wise to do so still.

“Alright, let’s go, Jerry. Go and bring the gifts for Raeleigh’s parents over,” Jenna said before she went in. Hearing that, Raeleigh turned around. “You’ve prepared gifts?”

“You’ve forgotten the set of jewelry I showed you before, didn’t you? I didn’t.”

Jenna said as she walked in, admiring the manor while Jepherson went back into the car and drove in.

On the other hand, Bernardo couldn’t stop him from doing so. After all, not only did Miss Raeleigh bring a guest over, but his parents also followed; they could be considered guests of honor.

Jenna didn’t know the way; it was her first time here, but what about her husband?

She looked up and saw that he also looked surprised and lost. Even though he had sent people to investigate early on and was sure her family was prominent, they’d leave fruitlessly every time. In short, they found nothing, and everything would end at the gates.

Looking at it right then, the scenery was unlike any other, and the building was magnificent; it had a unique charm, not a place for ordinary businessmen.

Hansen had never admired or envied anyone in his life, but he had to admit he was rather envious then.

Like any man who loved his wife, he wanted nothing but the best for his family. For a moment, he wanted to buy the manor and give it to Jenna. This idea flashed through his mind like lightning; he raised his eyebrows and gave up the idea in the end.

A gentleman does not take away what others love. Although he was no gentleman, and he would take what he liked as his own mercilessly, just like him to his wife…

Hansen glanced at Jenna as he held her hand while she held his arm and looked ahead.

As much as he wanted to give what belonged to Raeleigh’s family to his wife, he knew he shouldn’t.

Unknowingly, Hansen patted Jenna’s hand, leading her to look at him curiously. “What are you up to?”

“Nothing.”

Hansen said justifiably.

Jenna rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking; no way I’d believe you don’t want to do anything.”

Hansen did not speak but continued to enjoy the scenery.

Meanwhile, Raeleigh waited for Jepherson, watching as he parked the car and got down with two bags. She walked over to him and asked, “What are they?”

“A set of jewelry and three scarfs.”

“Your mom made all of them herself?”

“Yes.”

Jepherson carried the bags and walked forward with Raeleigh. She appeared to be worried as she said, “Why did you want to come here?”

“Don’t you think it’s for your sake?” Jepherson asked, and Raeleigh sneered, “Why don’t you say it’s for your’s?”

“Is there a difference?” He stepped forward as Raeleigh followed behind. There were not many people in the manor, but not less either.

Bernardo entertained Hansen and Jenna while Raeleigh accompanied Jepherson.

On their journey here, Raeleigh was a little worried. Although she had some complaints, Hansen and Jenna bore no ill will, so she didn’t have the heart to blame them.

But she was still worried.

So she said, “My mom will be easy to deal with; I’m worried that my dad will be upset. We didn’t tell them beforehand.”

“Would you be willing for us to come if we told them?”

Jepherson did not reply but asked her instead. Raeleigh was speechless. “And you think it’s okay to just show up at their doorstep?”

“Take things as they come. My in-laws are reasonable people; they won’t make things difficult for us.”

“Speak for yourself. Who are you calling your in-laws?”

Raeleigh was pedantic, but Jepherson lowered his head to kiss her, stopping her from saying more for the time being.

Shy, she shoved him away immediately and walked ahead, blushing and furious at the same time. She was certain someone was watching them.

However, he managed to catch up with her with just a few strides.

“It’s only a matter of time.”

Raeleigh pursed her lips. “I wouldn’t be so confident if I were you.”

“Doesn’t matter. I, Jepherson Richards, swear that I…”

He deliberately hesitated for a moment for Raeleigh to turn and look at him. When she did, he continued, “Won’t marry anyone but Raeleigh Anson this lifetime.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment and fell silent.

She then turned her head back and walked ahead. After walking for a while, she stopped and looked at the man by her side. “You can find someone better, more outstanding, prettier, and with a better background than me.”

“But none of them are you; they will never understand me.”

“Cajolery.”

“A pledge of my undying love.”

Jepherson smiled and took a glance at Bernardo.

Bernardo didn’t dare go near them, but he had definitely heard Jepherson’s words.

He wasn’t sure if he was touched, but he was gratified that Miss Raeleigh had someone who loved her.

Raeleigh followed Jepherson’s gaze and found that Bernardo was reddened.

“It’s all your fault.”

With that, she stormed ahead. Bernardo then went to Jepherson and wanted to take the gifts from him. “Mr. Richards, allow me.”

“It’s okay. You’re an elder, not as physically strong as me; I’ll carry them.”

Jepherson replied politely, “Please don’t call me Mr. Richards anymore; just call me Jepherson or think of me as Raeleigh’s husband.”

“But… ”

Of course, he didn’t dare call Jepherson by his name, but Raeleigh’s husband?

Bernardo turned to look at Raeleigh, who was blushing and exasperated. She turned back around and walked away, not looking back since.

“Please, Mr. Richards.”

Bernardo still addressed him so, and Jepherson did not reply but walked ahead, chasing after Raeleigh.

After walking for a while, Raeleigh still felt bad and waited for Jepherson. When he got to her, she continued to walk ahead, telling him, “Can’t you watch what you say?”

“I already am.”

He genuinely didn’t think he was indiscreet.

However, Raeleigh fell silent, upset.

Bernardo could tell Miss Raeleigh truly loved Mr. Richards. However, he wasn’t sure what Mr. Richards saw in her.

After all, the world was never short of playboys; there were only a few people who lived celibately like Mr. Xanthus.
