Getting My Ex-wife Back

Jepherson and Santiago arrived at the airport the same time as Raeleigh and Xanthus. However, Xanthus immediately made a beeline for the ticket counter while Jepherson sat with Raeleigh.

Jepherson held Raeleigh’s hand without saying a word.

Raeleigh did not know what to do. She had no idea how to handle his temper.

Raeleigh tried to smooth things over with Jepherson. She told him that just because she was leaving, it didn’t mean that they were going to be separated forever. He was more than welcome to visit her. She also promised to come back and visit once she had the time. However, judging by the look on Jepherson’s face, it seemed that he was not willing to accept it.

Raeleigh gently tugged Jepherson’s hand. “Come with me. I have something to tell you. Santiago, can you keep an eye on Xanthus for me?”

“Alright.” Santiago did as he was told. He found a seat next to Xanthus.

Once Raeleigh was sure that Santiago was with Xanthus, she led Jepherson to a secluded part of the airport.

“I’m not going to be gone forever.” Raeleigh found a quieter spot and explained to Jepherson. He lowered his eyes and looked at her. “I didn’t mess up the kitchen.”

Raeleigh was stunned. “Wait, you’re mad because of the kitchen?”

“What else?” Jepherson’s face was gloomy. Raeleigh laughed when she heard that. Jepherson stared at her with a straight face.

Raeleigh held back her laughter, then looked at him and said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I never doubted you.”

“It’s not Santiago either.” Jepherson still kept a straight face. Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, “I’m not so sure about that.”

“It really isn’t him.” Jepherson said coldly. It made Raeleigh feel a little uncomfortable. If it wasn’t Santiago, then it wasn’t Santiago. Why did he have to make a big deal out of it?

“Ok, fine. It wasn’t you nor Santiago.” Raeleigh reached out for Jepherson’s hand, but he still had a straight face.

“What do you want then?” Raeleigh felt helpless.

Only then did Jepherson respond. He reached out both of his hands towards Raeleigh and said, “I don’t want you to leave.”

“Apart from this.” Raeleigh didn’t want to part with Jepherson on bad terms.

Jepherson released her hand sand turned sideway. He was still in a bad mood.

This was the first time Raeleigh had to coax Jepherson, but she realised that men were not as easy to coax as women.

Raeleigh stopped in front of Jepherson and said, “I have to do this for Xanthus.”

“What about me?” Jepherson looked at her fiercely.

Raeleigh was rendered speechless. “I care about you too, but as you can see, if Xanthus and I stay, we will get into a lot of trouble. What would happen if something did happen to us?”

“You guys might still get into trouble even if you leave. You know this very well.”

“I know, but I can’t stop Xanthus from leaving.”

Raeleigh was caught in a dilemma. She hadn’t expected things to be so complicated.

After a while, Raeleigh pulled Jepherson’s hand. “Since we can’t seem to reach an agreement, let’s breakup. At least when I leave this place, I can have a clean slate.”

Jepherson looked up and said, “Nonsense!”

Raeleigh was stunned. Who was talking nonsense now?

Jepherson pulled Raeleigh into his arms and begged, “Please don’t go.”

“I don’t want to go either, but he is my brother. I am afraid that something will happen to him if he stays here. At least if we go back, it will lessen your burden.”

“It’s not a burden. I’m investigating the Doyle family. If you stay, it will be my greatest affirmation.”

Jepherson let go of Raeleigh and looked at her. Raeleigh said after thinking for a while, “There’s about three hours before our flight leaves. I’ll try to convince Xanthus. If he agrees, then we’ll move into the Richards Group Manor, but he doesn’t, I’ll have to follow him home and come back in a few days.

“No.” Jepherson firmly refused.

“You’re not giving me much choice here. Not everything has to go your way. You’re not God.”

“If you want me to be, I’ll be.”

“……. ”

Raeleigh had never seen someone as fickle minded as he was. Her expression changed slightly. “You’re being too unreasonable.”

She turned around and wanted to leave. Jepherson wanted to stop her, but couldn’t. So, he quickly chased up to her.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Raeleigh quickened her footsteps. She was mad at him and wanted to scare him a little.

However, when she arrived at Santiago’s side, she was surprised to see that Xanthus wasn’t there.

Raeleigh’s footsteps halted. She saw Santiago sleeping in the chair. She walked over to him and said, “Santiago.”

Santiago opened his eyes and looked at Raeleigh. “You’re back?”

“Where’s Xanthus?”

Raeleigh was worried. She was afraid that something had happened to him.

Santiago said, “I made a bet with him. The bet was how long it’s going to take for you two to come back. He lost. So I asked my men to bring him to Waverly Village.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. She turned around to look at Jepherson with fury in her eyes, “You’ve gone too far! I’ll have to go and look for him now.”

Jepherson pulled Raeleigh’s arm. “I’ll bring you there.”

Santiago also stood up. Raeleigh’s plan of going back home failed because of Santiago.

They left the airport and made their way to Waverly Village. When they arrived, Raeleigh hurriedly set out to look for Xanthus. As soon as she entered the door, she heard an old woman saying, “I have been ill for many years. I wasn’t sure whether it could ever be sure. I’ve had it ever since I gave birth.”

Xanthus smiled and said, “If you had sought treatment earlier, you probably would have recovered by now.”

“Is that so?”

The old woman asked Xanthus. He nodded. “Yes.”

“By the way, Dr. Osteen, my son’s bones are painful. Are you able to help him do a check up?”

Xanthus looked up at Raeleigh, then he looked at the old lady and said, “Is your son at home?”

“He went to work and will be back soon. Dr. Osteen, do you mind waiting?”

The old woman spoke kindly. Xanthus glanced at the time. It was impossible for them to make their flight now, so he agreed to wait.

Raeleigh came out from inside and glared at Santiago. She warned him, “If you ever do this again, I will end our friendship.”

“Only if there’s ever a next time. I’m going to look for Jacky. Come by the Jack Town Hotel later for dinner.”

Santiago waved before turning around and walking away. Raeleigh stood, fuming. She couldn’t believe that he just left like that.

Xanthus came out from inside and stood beside Raeleigh. “It’s very scenic here.”

Raeleigh was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Xanthus. “What are you saying?”

“If we don’t leave, we can stay here instead.”

After saying that, Xanthus glanced at Jepherson before he wandered off into the streets of Waverly Village. Soon, he disappeared into the crowd.

Raeleigh watched as Xanthus walked past each house. When the families saw Xanthus, they were more than happy to welcome him into their house.

Raeleigh asked Jepherson, “Has Xanthus been here before?”

“Yes, he came by the village while we were in the hospital. He was the one who brought a doctor in to help perform a surgery on Logan.”

“Logan?” Raeleigh was not clear about what had happened. Jepherson briefly explained it to her. Only then, Raeleigh realised that the mole was Logan.

However, after thinking about it carefully, she realised that he did it out of love. So, who could tell who was right and who was wrong?
