Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh didn’t manage to get the call through after going back either. She didn’t rest well that evening. Early in the morning, she received a call from Jepherson, who had just taken a bath at home and was ready to go to bed.

Raeleigh was worried out of her mind. Over the phone, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you answer the phone? Where have you been?”

Jepherson searched his mind for an answer. Sitting on the bed in the room and looking at the velvet box in front of him, his answer would become a defining moment for him.

“I was always around, I just didn’t have time to answer the phone. I had something to do, so I’ve booked a flight and I’ll have to catch it later. I’m just about to take a bath and change my clothes…”

“Where are you going?”

“To give you a gift, Raeleigh.” Jepherson was in a good mood. It was undoubtedly the best thing in the world to be cared for by her.

Since he would have time in the next few days, he had better seize the opportunity to do something meaningful.

“You don’t have to do that. I have a friend who’s looking for you, she wants your help. Don’t come over for now. She might go to the manor this afternoon.”

“A friend?” As far as Jepherson knew, Raeleigh did not really have any friends.

“Yeah.”

“Then when should I go catch my flight?”

“Just wait.” Raeleigh thought for a moment. “I mean, what on earth are you going there for?”

Jepherson still didn’t answer. Raeleigh continued speaking for a while before hanging up the phone. After setting down the phone, she changed her clothes. She got downstairs and went out with her shoes. Xanthus asked her what she was going to do, to which Raeleigh simply waved her hand. She had already gone to the garage before she could even say anything.

Xanthus went out to check on her. She was in a rush and at total unease.

As she drove, all Xanthus could do was escort her over to the Richards family from behind. When they arrived, Raeleigh got out of the car. He was relieved to see her walk into the mansion.

Jepherson was a little surprised when they saw each other, a real surprise.

No one had told him about Raeleigh’s return.

She was wearing a red coat. Fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky and surrounded her, making her look like an ethereal being emerging from the snow.

“Are you that surprised?” Raeleigh had thought about what to say over and over, but the straightforward words she chose in the end amused Jepherson. What she said almost ruined the beautiful atmosphere.

However, when she was there, it didn’t matter if the atmosphere was ruined or not. After all, her presence was a breath of fresh air to him.

The corners of Jepherson’s mouth twitched and he couldn’t help laughing. He was still holding a red, velvet box in his hand.

Seeing that he did not say anything, Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the box in his hand. Then, she took off her shoes and walked in, taking the box from him. “What is it?”

“You’ll know once you see it.” Jepherson walked in front of her in thick pajamas, shaping his already sturdy physique into the next level buff.

Raeleigh did not refuse his hug. She simply lowered her head and opened the box to have a look.

The two gleaming rings were truly gorgeous. Raeleigh took out one of them and scrutinized the diamond attached to it. Jefferson suggested, “Put it on and let me see.”

Raeleigh replied, “For the record, no one puts the ring on their own.”

She didn’t have to be direct for him to know what she meant. Even on television, couples always exchanged their wedding rings.

With his eyes curving into crescents, Jepherson pulled Raeleigh’s left hand over and slid the ring onto her finger. She stared at the ring on for a long time before saying, “Jepherson Richards, do you take Raeleigh Anson as your wife, for richer, for poorer, and in sickness and health?”

“I do.”

Jepherson knelt down on one knee, staring at her. “Raeleigh Anson, do you take Jepherson Richards as your husband, for richer, for poorer, and in sickness and health?”

“I do.”

Raeleigh took the other ring and put it on Jepherson’s left hand. Then, he stood up before bending down to pick her up in his arms.

Back on the bed, Jepherson put Raeleigh down, undid her clothes, then lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. His hand gently caressed hers all the way until they became one with each other.

Xanthus checked the time and found that Raeleigh had not come back yet even though it was ten o’clock. He closed the door and windows before going back to rest.

Raeleigh stayed by Jepherson’s side all night without falling asleep, until the next morning.

When Xanthus called, Jepherson immediately turned off her phone. Then he sent Xanthus a short message with his own phone, letting him know that she was resting at his place.

…

Raeleigh felt as if she had slept for centuries. When she opened her eyes, she was so tired that she closed them again and continued to sleep. She slept just like that, without knowing how many days had passed. Finally, Raeleigh opened her eyes and couldn’t fall back asleep, not because she didn’t want to, but because Jepherson wouldn’t let her. If she continued to sleep, she might actually turn into Sleeping Beauty.

On top of that, Jepherson had received a phone call saying that his parents and Marissa would be coming back that day.

They hadn’t told him the reason why. All he knew was that they would be back that day for sure.

Raeleigh sat up from inside the blanket, which slipped off her body. She then pulled it back up and wrapped herself up in it. Jepherson had seen her like that more than once, but every time she saw him face to face, she still blushed.

Jepherson knew her sensitive nature and pretended not to see anything.

“Get up, hmm? Grandma will be back later, as will my parents.” He got up, took his clothes, and went to the bathroom with Raeleigh in his arms. Before he put on his clothes, he enjoyed a make out session with her once again.

Raeleigh went out to change her clothes, then dried her hair. She was still pretty even without makeup. As Jepherson said, a natural look was the best.

She went with him to get breakfast, feeling much more refreshed. Then, she followed Jepherson to wait for Marisson and the others to return.

For Raeleigh, it was somewhat stressful for her to meet Marissa after the New Year, but she could do nothing about it.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She figured that as long as Marissa did not make things difficult for her, she could bear it.

Hearing the servants report that they were back, Jepherson stood up and held Raeleigh’s hand, walking outside. The moment they stepped out the door, she saw Hansen and Jenna. Then, the car door opened and Marissa got out.

When Marissa got out of the car, she saw Raeleigh at first glance. However, she kept a straight face and did not do anything else.

Raeleigh found it strange. Normally, Marissa would not be too happy to see her.

However, it was different right then.

Marissa didn’t like Raeleigh, but when she thought of the promise she’d made to Trevor, she turned a blind eye.

“Mom, I’ll help you.” Jenna helped Marissa out of the car, who responded, “I got quite tired from the trip, so no lunch for me. Come get me when it’s dinner.”

“Understood.”

Jenna hurried to answer her. Seeing Raeleigh, she put on a smile. “You’re here, Raeleigh.”

“Aunt, Grandma…”

“Yeah, yeah.” It was rare for Marissa to give her a response. Although she was strongly displeased, she did not give Raeleigh any dirty looks before she went inside. Raeleigh watched them go, after experiencing firsthand the what-science-can’t-explain phenomenon.

Jepherson found it odd as well. He whispered to Raeleigh, “Careful now, it might be a trap.”

Raeleigh was totally speechless. What did he mean by that?

“Aren’t you one of them?” Raeleigh whispered. The people working for the Richards Group Manor saw Jepherson and Raeleigh murmuring sweet nothings to each other, with their hands tightly interlocked as well.
