Getting My Ex-wife Back

After Raeleigh got out of the car, she walked ahead to the spot where she designed. Barely anything was done yet, but the construction materials were all ready.

Raeleigh stood there for a while before walking in to look for Xanthus. Right as she entered the door, she heard Xanthus calling her name. She turned around and saw him walking to her with several buns. In a trice, Raeleigh ran to him and threw herself into his arms. It was so sudden that Xanthus almost threw the buns away.

Xanthus breathed a sigh of relief, hugging his little sister.

The reunited siblings hugged for a while, and Xanthus took a good look at her. He was glad to see her face rosy.

“How have you been?” Xanthus asked as they walked toward the house. Raeleigh nodded, “I’m fine, Xanthus. What about you?”

“Of course. Do I look like I’m not doing well?” Xanthus was worried she was worry-filled that he could barely eat. Hence he had only gone out to buy some buns.

Raeleigh took a look at the buns in Xanthus’s hand. “If you’re really fine, you wouldn’t be eating this.”

Xanthus looked down and took out a bun for Raeleigh. “Have a bite. It’s good.”

Upon taking a bite, Raeleigh agreed that it tasted really good.

However, thinking of the fact that Xanthus only ate this, Raeleigh felt a little uncomfortable. “I want to eat fish.”

Her words got him stumped for a moment, but right after that, he put Raeleigh’s things down and asked her to wait for him at home while he went and buy some fish. However, Raeleigh insisted on going to the market with him.

In the end, they left with a fish, some meat, and a chicken after shopping for an hour plus.

Someone saw Raeleigh as they walked and said immediately, “You’re back. Your boyfriend is so worried about you that he hasn’t cooked for a long time but only stands at the village entrance all day and watch. Don’t leave him again.”

“Ah, I won’t.”

Raeleigh waited for the person to leave before asking, “Didn’t you say you were fine?”

“Can’t it be just that I’m tired of cooking? Can’t I go to the entrance to see if my sister is back?” Xanthus refuted. She looked at Xanthus and said, “Fine, say all you want; I won’t leave anymore.”

“Good to hear.”

Xanthus had the same idea.

Then, the siblings went back to cook. Just as they were about to sit down and eat, two people came in. Who else, if not Santiago, stood in front between the two?

Behind him would naturally be Jacky.

As they entered, Raeleigh stood up and went to get another two sets of plates and cutleries.

After washing his hands, Santiago sat next to Raeleigh while she waited for him to sit down before she did.

Upon seeing the mouth-watering food, Santiago picked up the cutleries and wolfed down. Raeleigh looked at him; he looked like he hadn’t eaten for a few days.

“When was the last time you ate?” Raeleigh asked, and Santiago glanced at her. “Since you left.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. “You’re going on a hunger strike?”

Santiago put down his cutleries. “He won’t cook.”

With that, Raeleigh looked over at where Santiago pointed with his chin and commented to Xanthus. “You’ve become the target of public criticism.”

Xanthus was eating leisurely and was about to speak when someone knocked on the door. Raeleigh looked over and thought, “It couldn’t be Jepherson, could it?”

With that, she went to open the door, and the person standing in front of her got her stumped.

Speak of the devil.

“Why are you here?” Raeleigh checked the time. Hadn’t he said he had an engagement?

“I’m hungry.” In other words, he came for dinner. Raeleigh watched as Jepherson changed his shoes, put down his coat, and went to wash his hands. Raeleigh followed him over, and he said to her as he washed his hands, “It’s too far here.”

She didn’t know what to say.

“We’ll head back after we eat.” Jepherson continued.

As if he was rushing, he headed straight for the dining table after washing his hands and ate Raeleigh’s food, not even thinking of getting his own.

When Raeleigh came out, Jepherson had already finished half of her meal.

Seeing so, she went to get herself a set of plates and cutleries. When she returned, Jepherson had gotten himself another portion. Santiago, on the other hand, was baffled. “When was the last time you ate?”

Raeleigh was at a loss for words. Wasn’t that her line?

Jepherson looked up at Raeleigh and said, “Every day.”

“Then why are you eating like this?”

“I have something tonight.” When Jepherson spoke, Raeleigh’s heart throbbed. She bit her lip in anger and thought he was shameless.

“An engagement?”

Santiago raised an eyebrow. Jepherson ate a little and said, “Yes.”

As he was only given a vague reply, Santiago wanted to get to the bottom of it. However, Jepherson did not elaborate but only went to the bathroom to wash his hands after he was done. After he came out, he sat and waited aside.

Raeleigh was taking her sweet time, eating in small bites, absent-minded as she took a glimpse at Jepherson from time to time.

Meanwhile, Jepherson looked at the time every now and then, looking as if he was waiting for Raeleigh to leave together.

After his meal, Santiago took a bowl of soup, walked to Jepherson, and asked as he ate, sitting next to him, “Are you here to pick someone up?”

“What do you think?” Jepherson was reading a book about design. Santiago looked at Raeleigh, who was taking her time clearing the table; it was apparent she didn’t want to leave.

Santiago drummed his fingers on the sofa, wanting to see how the scene would unfold.

On the other hand, Jacky had some matters to attend to. After eating, he stood up and said he was leaving.

“Santiago, are you leaving or not?” Jacky called after him before he left, and Santiago waved his hand; it was a no. Thus, Jacky left.

After Jacky left, Raeleigh felt a little depressed and restless.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Jepherson stood up. “I’m staying here tonight.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. “There aren’t many rooms.”

“Santiago, go stay at Jacky’s. I’ll stay in Raeleigh’s room.”

Raeleigh took a deep breath. “Don’t you have an engagement?”

“I rescheduled it. I’m getting up early tomorrow morning; I have a meeting in the company. Come with me.” With that, Jepherson headed straight to Raeleigh’s room.

Raeleigh stood at the door of the kitchen in a daze. Xanthus looked at her and asked, “What’s going on?”

Raeleigh glanced at her room and wondered if she should tell him she was married.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Raeleigh…”

Raeleigh pursed her lips. “There’s something I’ve been meaning to say, but I didn’t get the chance to.”

Xanthus frowned deeply. “What on earth is it?”

Taking a deep breath, she said, “Jepherson and I are married.”

In a trice, the veins on Xanthus’s head bulged, and he felt a dull pain. He stared at Raeleigh, not knowing how to react. Xanthus sat down and held the armrest of the sofa without saying a word.

He knew Jepherson must have a backup plan, but he didn’t expect him to be so cunning.

“I wanted to tell you about this, but I didn’t know how, and…”

Xanthus looked up at Raeleigh, who had come up to him. She had been holding her hands nervously.

Xanthus asked, “Did you do it willingly?”

Raeleigh nodded. “Yes.”

“Then why is he here?” Xanthus asked knowingly, wanting to confirm.

“He wants me to live in Richards Group Manor.” Raeleigh glanced at the doorway. Xanthus strode to her room and knocked on the door.

Inside, Jepherson had just come out of the bathroom when he heard the knock. He wrapped a bath towel around his waist and walked toward the door. There were only a few people here; they were all men apart from Raeleigh, so he didn’t care.

However, a punch came right at him when he opened the door.
