Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh knew that as long as Jepherson did not leave, she would have no peace at Waverly Village. True to her expectations, Jepherson was awakened late at night by his phone ringing.

On the other hand, Raeleigh had just fallen asleep. But when she heard the sound of his phone, she opened her eyes and saw Jepherson sitting up to answer the phone.

She could hear a woman’s voice on the other end of the line. It sounded like Stella’s voice.

Raeleigh did not pay close attention to his phone call. Instead, she got out of the bed and poured a glass of water for him. After he ended the call, she gave it to him.

Jepherson raised his head and hesitated for a moment before taking the water.

He held the cup with one hand and Raeleigh’s hand with the other, pulling her to sit on his lap.

At that moment, Raeleigh sensed that something must have happened.

Jepherson kissed Raeleigh’s ears and said, “Someone from the Doyle family came.”

She turned to look at Jepherson, who had a grim expression on his face. She did not quite understand what he meant.

Jepherson put down the cup and placed his hands around Raeleigh’s waist. “Before I came, Stella told me that she wanted me to marry her and that she’d propose to me. I thought she was only saying it casually. I had no idea she meant it.”

“You agreed?” Raeleigh knew that Jepherson would not do that, but she still could not help asking. She wanted to know his real answer.

Shaking his head, he kissed Raeleigh. “Come back with me. I need you by my side.”

Raeleigh looked at him. “What do you plan to do if I go back with you?”

“I’ll tell the Doyle family that you’re my wife.”

“What?”

“We’ll get the marriage certificate today,” he said, shocking her. She felt like it was all a big joke. It was too hasty!

For a moment, Raeleigh was silent as she gave it some thought.

“Raeleigh…”

“I need to discuss this with Xanthus and get the approval of my parents. I can’t decide on my own. I…”

Her voice trailed off. Hugging her, he said, “Do you think I’m not worthy to be your husband?”

“No, it’s just…”

Raeleigh did not know what to say. Marriage was not a game. Even so, she knew that she did not want to marry anyone other than Jepherson.

The problem was the relationship between their two families. There were still many things that were unresolved. There was no way that she could pretend that she knew nothing about it. If she could, she would have gotten married as soon as possible. In fact, Raeleigh would have gotten married a long time ago and would not have waited until now.

Jepherson held Raeleigh’s hand. “Are you afraid that I’ll let you down?”

Raeleigh shook her head. “I accepted you. I’m an adult, so I have to be responsible for my own choices.

But I can’t forget about my parents.”

Raeleigh was really in a dilemma.

After a long while, Jepherson pulled Raeleigh close and said, “Then we’ll put the marriage certificate on hold first, but you have to come with me to put on a good show. I have to go to A city.

“The Doyle family should be on their way to my home. On the phone, Stella seemed confident that my parents would agree to our marriage, so I must go back at once.”

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh, who was indecisive. After a long time, she said, “Then I’ll discuss it with Xanthus.”

“Okay. I’ll wait for you.”

He released her hand she went to put on her clothes. Then, she went to Xanthus.

At the same time, Jepherson was also making arrangements for someone to pick him up. He called Santiago and informed him of the situation.

Raeleigh knocked on Xanthus’ door. After a brief moment, he turned on the light and opened the door.

Standing at the door, she said, “I want to go back with him. He said something happened back at home.”

Xanthus was silent for a while. “I’ll go with you.”

However, Raeleigh shook her head. “He’ll protect me. I don’t want you to go this time. I don’t want Stella to stab you again. Stella is only nice to him. Even if she wants to take me down, she won’t do anything to me for now. At least not brazenly.”

Xanthus thought for a moment. “I’ll send someone to follow you secretly. Be careful and text every day during dinner time, between six to seven o’clock. If I don’t get your text, I’ll go over immediately.”

“All right,” Raeleigh replied and hugged Xanthus. He returned the hug. After a long time, he said, “I’ll be here waiting for you. If something happens, you have to remain calm. You’re very smart, but your emotional intelligence is low. You’ve become more naive after meeting Jepherson.”

Raeleigh stepped away slowly. “So, in my brother’s eyes, I’m such a person.”

“The higher the IQ, the lower the EQ. How much energy can a person have? Since they use it all on their IQ, other aspects will definitely suffer,” he explained.

However, Raeleigh could not laugh at that. “But I think highly of my emotional intelligence.”

“That’s what you think. You’re far inferior to Jepherson. Even ten of you would still be incomparable to Jepherson.”

“What about after adding you?” Raeleigh asked. Xanthus laughed, “If you did, you’d be invincible.”

Raeleigh was at a loss for words. “I didn’t realize I was so passive.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Xanthus patted Raeleigh’s shoulder gently and said, “I’ll put on my clothes and see you out.”

“Okay.”

With that, Raeleigh turned back and told Jepherson that she would be going with him. She then started to pack her clothes and clean up. After a while, Xanthus joined her.

“I’ll take you to the entrance of the village.” Although Xanthus felt uneasy, he also felt that Stella was not mad.

Xanthus drove them to the entrance of the village and watched them leave before driving away.

However, Xanthus did not stay in the village. He was uneasy about Raeleigh following Jepherson to A city. Thus, he packed up his things and planned to follow them. However, when the car reached the village’s entrance, it was stopped by Jacky’s men.

Xanthus looked out from the inside of the car. Jacky got out of his car and stood looking at him. “I can’t help it. Someone asked me to do this. Please get down from the car.”

Therefore, Xanthus could not leave.

Xanthus thought that Jepherson was the one behind it and called Jepherson. After Jepherson hung up the phone, he looked at Raeleigh.

“I didn’t expect you to be so vicious,” he said. He was determined to take the blame.

“I can’t let anything happen to him,” she replied after a moment’s pause.

If Raeleigh had to fight Stella to the death, she would be prepared.

Jepherson was silent, but the corners of his lips curled upward.

The driver felt that it was really strange.

It seemed that a tiger had met a fox. Whether the cunning fox would win or the fierce tiger, that remained to be seen.

When the car arrived at the airport, it was already late at night. As Jepherson was in a hurry, Raeleigh rushed down from the car as fast as she could. They passed through the security checks quickly and boarded the plane together.

Even so, they were too late. By the time they arrived, the Doyle family’s representatives had already met with the Richards family, and the marriage had been discussed.
