Getting My Ex-wife Back

Jacky answered the phone but did not say anything until Deanna spoke, “Jacky.”

“Phew…” Jacky heaved a sigh of relief. Sitting down, he asked, “You were taking a shower?”

Deanna had an obsession with taking a shower. In fact, she would be showering whenever she didn’t answer his call. This was the only time Rayan picked up the phone.

Deanna thought for a moment. “Yeah, the baby feels a little cold, so I took a hot shower.” In actuality, she was the one feeling cold.

Jacky frowned deeply, “Is it very cold?”

“This is what happens in spring; I feel exceptionally cold during this time.” Deanna blow-dried her hair as she chatted with Jacky.

“Have you gone to a doctor?”

“I did. Nothing out of the ordinary; I’ll be fine in a few days. Jacky…”

Jacky hummed lightly. Deanna pursed her lips, “I want to go back to school. The semester’s starting soon, isn’t it?”

Stumped, he answered, “Yeah.”

And the two fell silent.

The conversation came to a stop. Jacky remained silent until Deanna said, “I want to go back.”

“I’ll visit you.”

With that, Jacky hung up and bought a flight ticket that day.

Jacky was walking out of his loft when Raeleigh caught sight of him, “Jacky.”

Jacky was carrying a travel bag in his hand, wearing a smart loose black cashmere overcoat and a black hat. In fact, most people wouldn’t be able to recognize him dressed like this. However, Raeleigh was unexplainably able to recognize him at a glance.

Jacky turned around and looked at Raeleigh. “You’re here?”

“Are you going out?” Raeleigh looked at the travel bag in Jacky’s hand, and he nodded.

“To see Deanna?” Raeleigh knew only Deanna was able to get him to leave everything and go.

His hasty pace only meant that he was going to see his beloved. Other than Deanna, Raeleigh couldn’t think of anyone else.

Jacky didn’t answer, but she knew it was a yes.

“Have you ever thought that something terrible might happen if you go now?”

“Deanna wants to come back; I have to see her.”

“You’re being impulsive. You’re still able to call her; she still hasn’t given birth yet. Rayan is giving you time; he wants to test you.”

“I’m well aware, but I can’t leave her alone. She keeps feeling cold nowadays.”

“Is she sick?”

“She was born with it; She would always feel cold in spring.”

“Have her come back then. You’ll be able to protect her here,” Raeleigh said, but Jacky was not catching what she was throwing. “I don’t get it.”

There was a saying, monkey see, monkey do, and Raeleigh thought it was true. Jepherson was having a bad influence on her.

“Let’s talk while we walk.” With that, Raeleigh headed inside. Zorion had just left, which led Raeleigh to think something was going to happen. As expected, she saw Jacky walking out just as she walked toward the loft.

“I think you kidnapping Deanna is the best memory between you two. Although it’s a cautionary tale, it’s destiny. When you guys are old, it might be a great story to tell your grandchildren, don’t you think?”

Behind her, Jacky carried his bag, fixing his gaze at her, “So you’re saying…”

“I’m sure you love Deanna. Although she’s like a child, her love for you is unmistakable. At least she’s faithful.”

“I think for people like Deanna, unless she doesn’t love that person, once she falls in love, and you don’t push her away, she will love you for the rest of her life.”

“And you two don’t want to leave any regrets, do you?”

Looking at Jacky, his eyes flickered with uncertainty; this was his most difficult decision to make.

“Do you know what will happen if I fail? And the consequences of you being involved?”

“What kind of consequences can there be? Would it be more worthy than the both of you experiencing the birth of your child together?” Raeleigh knew she was being a busybody, and she shouldn’t butt in, but she couldn’t help it. When she saw Jacky leaving, she called to him and just like that she blurted everything out.

Jacky fell silent for a moment, “I owe you a favor. If Deanna can return, no matter what happens, I will help you once.”

“If you can help me twice, I can offer you a full service, but…”

“But what?”

“But I have one condition.”

“What is it?”

Never had Jacky thought Raeleigh would come prepared.

Raeleigh said, “I heard you’re doing a shipping business now. Is it true?”

Jacky raised an eyebrow, “You want to be a part of it?”

“No, I have something else in mind.”

“Go ahead.”

“Have you seen this before?” Raeleigh took out a box of condoms and showed it to Jacky. Gobsmacked, he looked at Raeleigh, “Condoms?”

“Yes, I want to get into the business.”

Jacky burst out in laughter, revealing his snow-white teeth. If he wasn’t close with Raeleigh, he would have taken her as a hustler.

“Does Jepherson and Santiago know?”

“They won’t agree, but I want to do it.” Raeleigh was serious about getting into the business.

She couldn’t explain why, probably that it would be a good business. Also, she was very fascinated by their designs.

Laughing, Jacky said, “I think it’s better to discuss this with them.”

“Since you don’t want to work with me, forget it. I’ll find someone else.”

Raeleigh thought she would be able to find a suitable partner anyhow.

Jacky bit his lip, “Hold up.”

In a trice, Raeleigh stopped and said, “Fifty-fifty. We’ll divide the money equally. I’ll manage the factory and planning while you oversee the sales and platform; I’ll hire a designer. We’ll do field study when we’re both free.”

Jacky couldn’t keep up with Raeleigh at all, “You sure you want to do this?”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I have the tech, and you have the market. It’ll definitely be a success.”

“But?”

“You can turn me down.”

Jacky heaved a long sigh and thought for a moment, “Alright, I do it.”

Raeleigh smiled, walked up to Jacky, waved her hand, signaling him to come closer, and whispered in his ear. “You’re not joking, are you?”

“No, I’m not.”

“If you do this, you will start a war

between Zorion and Jepherson.”

“This has nothing to do with them. You just need to do it, but you can’t say it’s my idea, or I will put the blame on you and say you forced me.”

Jacky was rendered speechless.

…

He didn’t know how to react. It was as if he had dug his own grave.

“Have I just dug my own grave?” Jacky asked. Raeleigh handed the box of condoms to Jacky. “My wedding gift to you. With your baby’s best interest at heart.”

Jacky looked at Raeleigh’s gift, looking all awkward, but Raeleigh had already walked away.
