Getting My Ex-wife Back

It had been two weeks since Jepherson was admitted into the hospital and he was finally able to be discharged. Raeleigh asked him whether he needed to do another thorough examination before he left.

“Why? Do I look like I’m still sick?” Jepherson asked while walking. Raeleigh briefly glanced at him and realized that he looked much better compared to a couple days earlier.

Since he said he was fine, Raeleigh believed him.

When they got into the car, Jepherson asked about the company’s affairs. Santiago had been the one holding down the fort the past few days.

“Everything is as it should be. I’ve promoted your cars according to the marketing plan. It’s just after the new year, so the response is considered quite good, but Raeleigh’s car is doing slightly better.”

Santiago had been busy promoting the company’s new cars in the past few days. He knew the market better than Raeleigh and Jepherson.

Jepherson took a look at Raeleigh. “I’m not surprised that Raeleigh’s cars are selling so well. The company should focus on selling this car then. We shall put aside the promotion for the other cars for next month.”

“That’s no problem. I’ve already informed the project department about this.”

The two brothers started to discuss the advertisement of the car. Raeleigh couldn’t put in a word at all.

Since Raeleigh could not say anything, she decided to keep quiet until she arrived home.

When they arrived at Xanthus and Raeleigh’s residence, both Jepherson and Santiago also got out of the car.

“Why don’t you pack your things and move into the Richards Group Manor with me?”

Jepherson didn’t want anything to happen to Raeleigh or to trouble Xanthus. That was why he asked them to move in with him.

Raeleigh was surprised by Jepherson’s sudden question.

Raeleigh hesitated for a while and turned around to look at Xanthus, who was standing beside her. Although this was not her first time moving, she couldn’t make this decision on her own.

“We were planning on moving in with our parents. I will take care of Raeleigh’s school transfer procedure. As for the company, if you feel it necessary to sue us, you can sue us. I will also ask a lawyer to talk to you about this matter.”

In other words, Xanthus was rejecting Jepherson’s offer. Raeleigh was not surprised. Xanthus was desperate to move out of this place after two major incidents. He felt that this place was not suitable for them to live and that was why he made the decision to move out. Raeleigh had been aware of it from the beginning.

“If you move in with your parents, we won’t know what will happen to you. If you stay here, at least we can still take care of you.”

Jepherson tried his best to persuade Xanthus. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, and then at Xanthus. She was going to leave it up to them to decide.

Raeleigh turned around and entered the house. Regardless of what the decision was, their belongings had already been packed. She and Xanthus were supposed to move out.

It was just their plans got delayed.

Santiago followed Raeleigh into the house.

Raeleigh went straight into the kitchen while Santiago went to the living the room to watch TV. However, as soon as he sat down, he got up again and walked towards the kitchen, calling Raeleigh, “Raeleigh…”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Raeleigh stood in the kitchen, in a daze. By the time she reacted, Santiago was already standing beside her.

Raeleigh turned around and looked at Santiago. His eyebrow was raised. “This is definitely your work.”

“What are you talking about? Why would I do this to your kitchen?”

There was paint everywhere. Even the floor was covered in paint, not to mention the wall.

Raeleigh lowered her head to look at the red paint that she had stepped on. She couldn’t believe that her slippers had been ruined by the paint.

Raeleigh then looked at the leather boots that Santiago was wearing and saw that his shoes were no better than hers.

“Why didn’t you take off your shoes? You’re going to get paint all over the living room floor!” Raeleigh’s temper flared up and Santiago found himself on the receiving end of her anger.

Santiago chuckled and took a step back. “Well, it’s better than being stuck here.”

“Stay here and don’t move, lest the rest of the floor gets covered in paint.” Raeleigh felt a little distressed. She turned around and looked inside the kitchen. “She wasn’t worried about her slippers. Instead, her heart ached because of the kitchen.

Santiago came back from behind. He bent down and carried Raeleigh outside. She quickly turned around and changed into a new pair of slippers before coming back. She asked Santiago who was standing by the kitchen door, “Are you sure you didn’t create this mess while you were sleepwalking?”

Raeleigh held one side of the slippers behind her and waited for Santiago to admit it. She tapped his head several times with the slippers.

Santiago raised an eyebrow. “Do you really think I would do that? Why would I sleepwalk all the way to your house to do this? Why don’t you ask Jepherson instead?”

Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson and Xanthus who had just come in. However, she felt that it wasn’t Jepherson’s doing.

“I doubt it’s him. I have a feeling it’s you.”

She was sure that it was Santiago because she knew that no one else would have the guts to do it.

“Why don’t you check the CCTV?” Santiago suggested. The truth would be revealed.

Raeleigh quickly tossed aside the slippers and went to check the CCTV recordings. After awhile, Santiago wondered what was taking her so long and decided to go check on her. When he pushed open the door, he found Raeleigh looking melancholy. She was holding the wire that had been cut off. Santiago reached out and took the wire away to make sure that it was the same. Then he turned around and showed it to Jepherson. Jepherson took a look at the wire and asked Raeleigh, “Are you suspecting Santiago and I?”

“Who else do I know besides you two?” Raeleigh couldn’t think of any other person who would do such a thing.

Jepherson was speechless.

Santiago looked through the videos and asked, “Do you not trust us?”

Raeleigh looked at Xanthus. “What should we do?”

“Since the wires had been cut off and the kitchen can’t be used, we have no choice but to leave tonight.”

Xanthus turned and went into the room. Jepherson turned and looked. “But it wasn’t us!”

Raeleigh also felt strange. “How could it be so coincidental?”

“I’ll go and check on him.” Raeleigh went outside to look for Xanthus. By the time she found Xanthus, he had already taken out the luggage and was planning to leave right away.

Santiago blocked the door and asked Xanthus, “Perhaps it was you who deliberately spilled paint all over the kitchen floor and cut off the wires.”

Xanthus looked up at Santiago. “Why would I do that?”

“As an excuse to leave this place.” Santiago blocked the doorway and wasn’t intending to let Xanthus leave. Raeleigh also looked at Xanthus, but Xanthus didn’t admit nor deny the accusation.

“Move out of the way!” Xanthus carried the luggage in one hand and took Raeleigh’s hand in the other. He intended to take Raeleigh away. Santiago’s face darkened. “You’re not allowed to leave until you make things clear. We’re not going take the blame for this.”

“Santiago,” Jepherson called out to his brother. Santiago moved out of the way and allowed Raeleigh and Xanthus to leave.

Raeleigh followed Xanthus downstairs. Her luggage was already downstairs.

Xanthus walked to the door with two suitcases in hand. They had everything they needed and had no plans to come back.

Jepherson stood downstairs, while Santiago stood upstairs. Both brothers were staring at Raeleigh.

However, she didn’t mention that she wanted to stay. She followed Xanthus and left.
