Getting My Ex-wife Back

Jacky had a lot of subordinates, and many of them were loyal to him. Although all of them served him, some hated wrongdoers.

As Logan betrayed him, even if others promised they would leave him be, it was just a superficial promise. If they really held a grudge, they would not let him off easily.

So Jacky had to protect Logan and not let anyone harm him.

He could only rely on Logan’s most trusted men.

Harvey wanted to take Logan away when he grabbed Harvey’s hand, not letting him take another step.

With that, Harvey looked at Jacky. Jacky’s face darkened. “It’s none of your business.”

Hearing Jacky’s words, he knew it was for Logan’s sake, so he immediately took him away.

After they left, Jacky turned to Zorion, “What are you here for?”

“Nothing.”

Zorion turned his gaze away coldly, looking at the room, then stood up and threw a letter on the table, “Deanna’s.”

Stumped, Jacky walked over to pick up Deanna’s letter. After confirming it was indeed from her, Jacky followed him outside.

It was getting warmer. Zorion wore a cashmere overcoat, his hands in its pockets as he stood at the door, looking into the distance.

Out the door, Jacky asked, “Why are you doing this?”

Humored, Zorion replied, “She’s my sister. She begged me to give you the letter, and I promised. That’s all.”

Zorion took his hands out of his coat and glanced at Jacky. “I don’t care that you’re hiding Logan, but if he leaves, I’ll make sure he comes back in pieces.”

With that, he walked away without hesitation. Jacky looked at his retreating figure from afar and glanced at the letter in his hand, then turned around to read the content. It was a pregnancy report with an obstetric ultrasound scan attached. He could see the baby’s face now.

There was a written line on the report, a question.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Do you think it’s a boy or a girl?”

Jacky immediately called Deanna. When the line connected, he told her, “I’ll love our baby no matter if it’s a girl or a boy.”

“Who are you?” Rayan’s face darkened. Deanna was showering. When he came in, the phone was ringing so he simply answered it. However, when he heard the voice at the other end of the line, his face turned gloomy that instant.

Hannah came in and saw her husband’s displeasure. “Who’s calling?”

In actuality, everyone was well aware, just that no one wanted to talk about it.

Rayan waited for Jacky to speak. Jacky said, “Sorry, wrong number.”

And the phone was hung up.

Hannah directed her gaze at the bathroom and tugged on Rayan’s arm. “Rayan, who is it?”

“Who else?” Rayan composed himself, put the phone down, and pretended nothing happened as he looked at his beloved wife.

Hannah wasn’t dumb; she knew her husband’s plan better than anyone else.

“You ended the call?”

“He did.”

Rayan said after a while, “Jacky has set up an agency in Capital City; he’s preparing to do a large-scale shipping business.”

“Can he manage?” Hannah heard Jacky had a complex background. In other words, he was a gangster. How could he do business?

“If he is a dumb kid, he wouldn’t leave Deanna alone. Do you think he has no motives for leaving her here?”

“What do you mean?”

“When the child is born, he will rightfully be a member of the Whalen family.” There had only ever been two things in Rayan’s life that he was helpless about. One was fighting for Jen’s affection with Hansen, and the other was Jacky. The former took away his love, and the latter was going to take away his daughter.

The former was excusable, but the latter was his pain.

Jacky grew up a gangster with no backing nor background. It was no feat for him to work his way from a nameless punk to the head of the Waverly Village today.

However, it was precisely that that Rayan worried about.

A dog would do as told, but a wolf would bring danger.

No one knew how massive Jacky’s ambition was. He could give Jacky a chance if he was solely in love with his daughter, but it would be a different matter if he was onto his possessions.

On seeing Rayan remain silent, Hannah asked, “Rayan, is Jacky unreliable?”

“We’ll only know when we find out.”

“How? Zorion said he has expanded his influence to the Capital City. His men are everywhere. Will it be troublesome if we continue?”

“If he’s able to conquer Capital City without my help or influence, I’ll give him my respect.”

Deanna came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, her belly big and round. “I don’t like you being like this.”

She pouted. Deanna was chubby as she had been growing since she was pregnant, and she could really eat. Even the doctor had told her to watch her weight; the consequences would be unimaginable if she didn’t.

On seeing his daughter sitting down upsettingly, Rayan tried to please her despite his displeasure. “What did I say?”

The doctor had said it wouldn’t do the baby and her health good if she got upset. Rayan didn’t think much of the pregnancy when he was becoming a father, but now that it was happening to his beloved daughter, he was genuinely on edge. He even hated Jacky for getting Deanna pregnant at such a young age. He didn’t know if there would be complications when she gave birth. How ridiculous.

How would Rayan dare to provoke his daughter?

Deanna laid down. “I think you’re all targeting Jacky. He’s very good to me.”

She held her belly gloomily as she didn’t understand her parents’ worries. She had merely gotten a boyfriend, and they had a baby. Why didn’t they like him? Do they prefer an old man then? Would they be happier if she married an old man?

Patting her stomach, she said, “Baby, you have to remember only we like Dad. Everyone else, including your grandparents, prefers if we fall in love with an old man because he’s wealthy.”

Nearly dying of anger, he glanced at his inconsiderate daughter before walking out. Hannah followed after him but stopped midway and closed the door.

Rolling her eyes at her daughter, she said, “Someone gave you a call and said he would love the baby no matter if it’s a boy or a girl. When your father asked who he was, he said he had made a wrong call.”

“Strange, don’t you think? A number from Tamberland made a wrong call to another country.”

Hannah was so angry she had such a daughter. Turning around, she left to find her husband.

As soon as Hannah left, Deanna jumped out of bed to call Jacky.
