Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh was a little taken aback when she saw who was calling her. She hadn’t expected that Scarlette had already gone back.

“You went back?” Raeleigh was sitting on the sofa. She’d barely left the house recently, mostly cooping herself up in her room. She wasn’t sure whether it was because of the matter with the Richards family or the weather.

She was quite surprised to receive a call from Scarlette through a local number. She’d never called Scarlette herself, despite wanting to know what was going on with her. It was partly because she herself was in a dilemma, and partly because she didn’t want to interrupt Scarlette and Hadrian’s time together.

“Yeah.” Scarlette was sitting on the bed. The house was the one that previously belonged to Raeleigh. It currently belonged to her and Hadrian, though, thanks to Santiago.

Initially, Scarlette had felt bad about accepting it. After all, the house belonged to Raeleigh, not Santiago.

However, Santiago said that if she didn’t accept it, he’d just give it to Hadrian. He was only offering it to her first.

Only a fool would give up such a great offer.

With that in mind, Scarlette immediately accepted the house.

Aside from that, Santiago had also given her a brand new SUV. She wasn’t sure what its exact price was, but she did know that it cost around 4 million dollars.

In addition to the house and the car, he’d also sent some other things. All in all, Santiago had basically prepared everything that they needed.

At first, Scarlette felt like she was dreaming, but she gradually accepted it was real.

The amount of money that she had in her bank account alone was shocking enough.

She didn’t even dare to ask why Santiago was being so generous. It was as if he was going to sell her off at any time.

She wasn’t worth anything, though. After all, she was paralysed.

However, Santiago had told her to just accept whatever he was giving them because it was a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing. He wouldn’t allow someone from the Richards family to live a substandard life.

At that moment, Scarlette wished that she could kick Hadrian out of the picture so that she could have everything to herself. Either way, she had come to be rich.

It wasn’t every day one would come across a 20-year-old with as much money as her!

As for Hadrian, Scarlette told Raeleigh completely guiltlessly that he was treating her like she was a queen.

“So you guys made up already?” Raeleigh was happy for her. The fact that Scarlette was able to go back there with Hadrian meant that things were fine with them.

Scarlette hesitated. “He insisted on marrying me.”

Raeleigh said nothing as she knew that Hadrian had to be listening.

In her current state, Scarlette couldn’t possibly be left alone. Hadrian wouldn’t bear to leave her on her own either.

Though they’d lost their child, it was fortunate that they were able to reconcile. Raeleigh was truly happy for them.

“I’m getting married,” said Scarlette.

Raeleigh froze.

“Can you go out for a while instead of listening to me talk on the phone? I’m not going anywhere. Not like I could, anyway.” Scarlette was annoyed at Hadrian, but he didn’t get angry. It was good that she was throwing a tantrum instead of bottling it all up.

Hadrian left. Once the door was closed, Scarlette said, “Hadrian bought me a huge diamond ring, so I said yes.”

Raeleigh was silent for a moment. “Are you calling to show off?”

Scarlette scoffed. “What’s there to show off? We’re just getting married.”

“Then why did you call me?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Raeleigh, I don’t have any friends. I only know you and Deanna. Can you come to my wedding?”

Raeleigh looked at Xanthus, who was reading a magazine. He knew that she was watching him.

She didn’t answer immediately and instead asked, “Have you already set a date?”

It was such a sudden decision that Raeleigh couldn’t help thinking about other things. Then again, if Jepherson was the one behind this, he would’ve let her know in advance.

Since he hadn’t mentioned anything, it probably wasn’t something he’d decided on.

“I don’t want to get married, but Mr. Santiago gave me so many things in preparation for the wedding. I couldn’t bear giving all of this up if I decided not to get married. You know that I come from a poor background. I’m worried that if I don’t have the money in my pocket, it’ll be taken away.”

“You know how sly Mr. Santiago is. I’d probably die of exasperation if he were to just change his mind and take everything back.”

Raeleigh said, “Let me think about it. When is the wedding?”

“I haven’t decided on the specific date yet. I was thinking of waiting for you to come and help me renovate the house. I also have something to tell you.”

“What’s the matter?”

After hesitating for a while, Scarlette decided to say it.

“You gave your previous house to Mr. Santiago, right? He gave it to me as our marital home. I wanted to reject him, but he said he’d give it to Hadrian instead. I know he would’ve taken it even if I didn’t, so…”

“I know about that. That house doesn’t really mean anything to me anymore, and I can just stay anywhere else. Santiago did that for your benefit, so you should really thank him.”

Raeleigh knew Santiago well enough to know that he had his reasons for doing things that way.

With Scarlette’s current situation, she had to have a stable and safe home, or else she’d feel insecure and be more prone to doing something wrong.

There were many memories there that could calm her down too.

“Raeleigh, have you forgiven me?” This was what Scarlette was the most worried about. She felt a lot better listening to Raeleigh’s words.

“As I said, the house is not important to me anymore. It’s a little strange giving it to others, but there’s no issue now.”

Scarlette pursed her lips. “Raeleigh, can you be my bridesmaid?”

Raeleigh thought for a long time. “I don’t know when you will get married. How am I going to go?”

“You still have a job here, don’t you? Don’t tell me you’re never coming back. That’s why I came back in the first place! If you’re not coming back here, maybe I’ll have the wedding where you are so that you can be my bridesmaid. I don’t know any other people, and I can’t possibly have a man as my bridesmaid.”

Scarlette was making herself out to be as pitiful as possible, and Raeleigh knew that she wouldn’t be helping someone else to trick her to go back.

“Scarlette, I took a month off of work for the holidays. I will be going back, but how do I know when I need to go over there if you don’t set a date?” Scarlette was right. She didn’t have many friends, and she couldn’t have a man as her bridesmaid.

Knowing that Raeleigh had agreed, Scarlette felt happy.

“I really haven’t decided on a date, but I do still need to clean up the house and take my wedding photos. It’s going to take some time, but you can just come back if you don’t have anything to do.”

Scarlette missed Raeleigh and felt uneasy, not being able to see her. She’d been disappointed at Raeleigh’s absence upon her return.

“I don’t get to come home that often, you know. If I were to go back so soon…”

Raeleigh wanted to say that her parents would miss her, but she changed her mind. “I need to let my family know first.”

Scarlette frowned. “Raeleigh, I don’t mean to nag, but you can’t be so hard-hearted. Even if Mr. Jepherson did something mean to you, you can’t bully him like this.”

Bully him?

Raeleigh wanted to laugh. Who could bully Jepherson?
