Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh was waiting in the living room when Jepherson came downstairs and said, “Bernardo, please get our meal ready.”

Stunned, Bernardo hadn’t expected him actually to have seen himself as part of the family.

Seeing that Bernardo wasn’t responsive, Jepherson turned to Raeleigh, who was looking right back at him. Only then she said, “Please, Bernardo.”

“Right away, Miss Raeleigh.”

Jepherson then turned to his parents. “I know you’re both tired; take a rest. If you’re not comfortable down here, there are rooms upstairs; I can show you the way.”

Jenna thought it wasn’t right for them to rest in someone else’s home, especially when the hosts were absent.

Hansen turned to his son. “You didn’t tell Raeleigh we’ll be coming over today?”

Jenna’s heart raced; this guy sure was getting better at passing the buck.

“I didn’t.”

In for a penny, in for a pound, Jepherson thought it was all his fault at that point.

To ease the mood, Raeleigh said, “I’ll go and see if my parents are at the studio.”

She wasn’t sure either, but it was all she could do right then.

“Since your parents are not here, it’s not appropriate for us to stay over either. Hansen and I will go back first. There should be a hotel nearby; we’ll stay there for now. If you have anything, you can come to us. Jepherson, you should stay.”

Jenna was well aware they were uninvited guests. Even if there was something, they could not find anything to support their actions. Jenna blamed herself for always being impulsive.

Now she’d done it. They had to leave.

Raeleigh felt bad. “Auntie Jenna, you should stay. I’ll call my parents and ask where they are.”

With that, she took out her phone and called her parents, but their phones were switched off.

What should she do? She was put in a difficult position then.

They must have a reason for their action.

Just as she was thinking of how to resolve the situation, Xanthus and Jacky came in. Upon entering the house, Xanthus said directly, “My parents had left for a trip. Since you’re here, Uncle Hansen, Auntie Jenna, why don’t you stay for a meal? Consider it an opportunity for us to fulfill our duties as the host.”

Jenna was truly distraught. Were they really unwelcomed?

“It’s fine. Since your parents are not around, we should leave. Jepherson, come with us too.”

Hansen was relentless; although he wasn’t that indifferent, he didn’t show any hesitation as he walked out of the door with his beloved wife.

Jepherson held Raeleigh’s hand. “I’ll go see them off. Jacky, stay here.”

Jepherson then grabbed his coat and went out with his parents. Raeleigh followed him to the door and put on a coat.

On their walk back to the car, Jenna held Raeleigh’s hand and talked a lot. However, Raeleigh was absent-minded the entire time; she hadn’t a clue what was going on.

When they got into the car, Raeleigh said, “Auntie Jenna, I’m sorry.”

Raeleigh hadn’t intended to apologize, but it just came out after noticing how unhappy Jenna looked in the car.

Jenna was still touched. She rolled down the window and said, “Raeleigh, don’t worry. It’s our fault that we came unannounced. When you see your parents, please send them our apologies. We’ll ask for their permission before visiting next time; I promise I won’t do this again.”

Jenna looked at her son. “Jerry, take good care of Raeleigh.”

As the car window rolled up, Jenna looked at her husband. Hansen motioned for the driver to drive, and the car left.

After Hansen and Jenna left, Raeleigh turned to Jepherson. “I don’t know what’s going on either.”

“No one’s blaming you. But we do have to figure it out. From what I know, your parents aren’t unreasonable people; there must be a reason behind their actions.”

With that, he turned to wrap her in his arms and gave her a kiss.

Raeleigh blushed. “Can you not?”

Bernardo was with them right then. He shied away, lowering his head; he should avoid seeing affectionate moments like that at his age.

As they walked back into the house, Xanthus stood at the door with Jacky by his side.

Seeing him, Raeleigh asked immediately, “Xanthus?”

“Mom and Dad have called me; I’ll talk to you about it later. Right now, you should head back in. I have something to say to him.”

Xanthus patted Raeleigh and motioned for her to go back inside. Raeleigh shook her head and said, “Just say it here.”

Raeleigh couldn’t leave at a time like that.

“Raeleigh, go ahead.”

Jepherson also motioned for her to go back inside. However, she stayed for a while before going back into the manor despite her worries.

After entering, she stood at the doorway and looked out. All she knew was that Xanthus told Jepherson something before they walked far away.

Raeleigh had waited inside for a long time, but no one came back. Growing impatient, she went out to look for them. She didn’t find Jepherson, but Xanthus was returning from afar. When he saw Raeleigh, he told her Jepherson had left.

With that, she looked behind him and found that Jepherson had indeed left.

“What did you say to him?” Raeleigh frowned. Xanthus put his arm around Raeleigh’s shoulder, “I told him our parents didn’t agree to your relationship.”

“Why?”

Raeleigh looked up. Although the thought had come to her, there had to be a reason.

“I can’t explain it clearly either. Let’s go inside.”

With that, he led her inside. She knew something was off the moment she came back. Whatever their reason was, they had to tell her at least. However, when she went to Novalie, she wouldn’t speak about it, and her parents weren’t there even if she wanted to ask them.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Where have Mom and Dad gone?” Raeleigh stood downstairs. She wasn’t entirely anxious but not knowing what was going on wasn’t great either.

“They just boarded the plane; they may only come back after a while. Here is a letter from Mom.”

Xanthus handed the letter to Raeleigh. She stared at the envelope and knew it was her mother’s handwriting.

After opening the letter, Raeleigh went aside to read it.

“Baby, there’s something your dad and I need to verify ourselves, so we can’t stay, but I want you to know, your dad and I could’ve done better. I hope you can reconsider your relationship with Jepherson. It’s not that we don’t like him, and it has nothing to do with his family background, but some things need the test of time.”

“It’s a blessing to meet the right person at the right time but a misfortune to meet the right person at the wrong time. However, it’s a mistake if you meet the wrong person at the right time.”

“I do hope that you are blessed, but before things reveal themselves, please give dad some time, and let me find a solution to prove all of this is not a misfortune or a mistake.”

“I love you, my baby. You’re my only girl. Please understand how I feel about having you back in my life.”

“I can accept all that I’ve lost over the years, but I can’t accept losing you again.”

“Baby, please believe that we love you.”

The letter didn’t mention anything else, only these vague messages. Holding the letter in her hand, Raeleigh turned to Xanthus. “Did Mom and Dad tell you anything?”

“No, I was threatened to come back.” Xanthus meant Jacky abducted him home.

Raeleigh felt awkward. What was there to say?

What was wrong was indeed wrong.
