Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh stood by the door, wondering where Jepherson got the marriage certificate from and when he obtained it. Why did she not know anything about it?

“Is this how you treat your elders?” Trevor asked. He had been waiting for Raeleigh to say something. She had stood at the door thinking about other things since she entered the door. It did not seem as if she cared about what he wanted to say. He did not know whether he should feel thankful or helpless.

Seeing that Raeleigh did not say anything for such a long time, Trevor took the initiative to talk to Raeleigh.

Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Trevor. She was not frightened. Instead, she asked calmly, “Did you bring me here just to question me?”

Trevor was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Raeleigh would have the guts to ask such a question in front of him. Even his daughter-in-law, Jenna, did not dare to do so.

Trevor recovered from his shock and looked at Raeleigh closely.

When he saw that she still looked as calm as ever, he was slightly disconcerted. It seemed to him that she resembled someone.

Trevor recovered from his daze and stared at Raeleigh. “I’m not interrogating you. I just feel that a youngster like you should not be rude to others. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to keep an elder like me waiting for you?”

“I was a little distracted just now as there was something I couldn’t figure out. I’m honored to be here. I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I’ve disappointed you,” said Raeleigh.

She nodded her head respectfully at Trevor. He had not expected her to behave that way. She had a way of doing everything with ease, much like Marissa.

As he thought of how Marissa was when she was young, Trevor’s gaze softened.

Unlike Stella, Trevor did not like Geraldine, especially after what happened that day.

So naturally, Trevor was impressed with Raeleigh.

He smiled, “It seems that your grandmother raised you well and taught you many things.”

“Yes, she did,” Raeleigh replied politely. Trevor found himself liking Raeleigh even more.

Anyone else would have been a little more humble on this aspect without giving it much thought.

After all, instead of complimenting Raeleigh directly, he had praised her grandmother. If Raeleigh had been modest, it would have been disappointing.

Trevor smiled. He looked at Raeleigh and asked, “From what you said, does that mean you’re clear about what I called you up here for?”

Raeleigh thought for a moment. “I can’t be sure, but I have a hunch. It concerns me and Jepherson, right?”

“People who are smart will often make people jealous. So, people like you should be careful,” Trevor said, reminding Raeleigh not to call get ahead of herself.

Raeleigh replied, “I can be quite foolish at times, but after being with Jepherson for some time, I actually picked up a thing or two from him. Maybe his influence has made me so straightforward with certain things that I don’t know how to cover it up.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Jepherson says that he doesn’t like to wear a mask, so I thought you would prefer someone to be honest.”

Raeleigh spoke slowly.

Trevor’s brows furrowed slightly. “Since you’re a smart child, I won’t hide it anymore. Your words are honest and forceful. If I’m not honest, you’ll tell Jerry about what I did wrong later.”

Raeleigh smiled. “I won’t do that. Don’t worry.”

“Don’t judge a book by its cover, just like what I did in the past,” Trevor said as he walked to the side and looked at the chair. “Have a seat. I haven’t spoken to anyone for a long time. I have a son and a grandson who don’t care about me. I wonder if I’ll be blessed to have a great-granddaughter.”

“One of your two grandsons will surely give you a great-granddaughter,” Raeleigh said as she walked to the chair. She only sat down after Trevor was seated.

Then, Trevor said, “It all began when I was young, back when you were just born. In fact, I’m not that young.”

Raeleigh looked at Trevor. She knew that he must have been hiding something.

She said nothing but listened in silence.

Trevor was silent for a while, then started talking about the past.

“Back then, I took a fancy to some things at a charity event abroad and wanted to bring them back to the country. But since those things already had an owner, I had to drop the matter.

“However, before I left, I received an invitation to go to his house.

“I was very surprised that he would actually invite me. After all, we did not know each other well.

“However, as I was still hoping to get my hands on those things, I went anyway.

“There, they entertained me and invited me to admire those things.

“I was young and was not vulgar.

“However, once one has fame and wealth, one is bound to be a bit vulgar. One will like things that normal people could never attain.

“At that time, I was very fond of those things.

“But I know that a gentleman does not take advantage of others. After admiring them, I returned to the country directly.

“After I returned, I told my wife about it. My wife told me that they seemed nice, and they had a good reputation all over the world.

“After that, I would bring gifts for them when I went abroad, and occasionally took my wife there. In less than a year, our relationship changed drastically.

“A few months later, I received a gift and opened it to see that it contained the things that I liked.

“I was a little surprised. I was going to return it, but it was rejected.

“After that, we contacted more frequently.

“If I saw something they would like, I would get it for them. They would also pick things I liked for me.

“However…

“If one is with a bandit for a long time, sooner or later, one will lose some things.

“One time when I was abroad, they told me that one of their children had been kidnapped.

“I was very anxious at that time and asked them how much ransom they needed. At that time, it was not a problem for me to use my money to help them. They told me that it was not a matter of money. The kidnappers wanted an item in exchange for the child’s life.

“Since I had known them for some time, I believed them and wanted to help them save their child. At that time, I suggested that they go to the police. However, they said that it was not the first time something like that had happened. If they angered the kidnappers, their child would be killed.

“At that time, Hansen and Jenna were also going through some trouble of their own. Hansen was having a hard time handling it, and it would’ve been pointless to ask him for help. As a result, I could only ask them what the kidnappers were looking for. They told me that it was an ancient bronze goblet. I believed them and decided to help them.

“They also put in a lot of effort and searched for it for two days. Finally, I found it.

“I informed them, and they rushed over. We went to see the owner of the relic. We wanted to know if the owner would be willing to sell it to us. We even offered to pay a higher price.

“After all, a life is more important than anything else.”

Trevor paused. It was as if the events of the past were like a knife in his heart. For a moment, he felt a deep pain in his heart.
