Getting My Ex-wife Back

It was already night when Jepherson woke up. Raeleigh was waiting for him to have dinner. As soon as he stirred, Santiago came in, shot a glance at him, and asked, “Did you see Jacky?”

Raeleigh shook her head. “No.”

“I can’t find him.”

Santiago went inside to wash his hands. He came back and sat opposite Raeleigh. “Didn’t you see him?”

“Didn’t I say that I didn’t see him?” Raeleigh replied while munching on the food. Jepherson was looking up at them when Santiago said, “A street vendor told me that he had seen you talking to Jacky and gave him a box before Jacky left.”

Jepherson swept his eyes over Raeleigh, who then took a bite on a fish. “Was the street vendor sure it was me?”

“Would he tell me if he wasn’t sure?”

Santiago chomped on the food before he asked so. Gazing at him, Raeleigh replied, “You’re here to find fault with me, aren’t you? I’m not a babysitter either. Why do you have to question me when Jacky has gone missing?

I will only bear the responsibility for the missing of one person in this world, your brother.”

Jepherson was placing a mouthful of food into his mouth when he heard this and he almost choked.

Getting up, Jepherson coughed twice and poured himself a glass of water. Santiago burst into laughter. “Did you do it on purpose?”

Jepherson looked back at these two people, who would always argue whenever they met. Then, he sat back down and continued eating.

Raeleigh said, “Don’t blame me for everything. I just said no, and I meant it. I’m your sister-in-law. Aren’t my words more credible than those of a street vendor?

It’s possible for some people to resemble each other. Maybe the street vendor mistook somebody else for me.

Besides, do you think it’s appropriate for you to ask me when Jacky has gone missing?”

Santiago raised his hand to pat his chest. “This is so exasperating.”

Jepherson passed some food to Raeleigh. “Calm down.”

Raeleigh ate her cake. “Only if he stops talking.”

Santiago lifted his head. “You want to continue, huh? Didn’t I stop?”

Raeleigh bowed her head and continued crunching the food. Santiago glanced at Jepherson. “Don’t you care?”

“Enough. It’s indeed inappropriate for you to ask your sister-in-law about Jacky. Get someone to install surveillance cameras along the main streets in Waverly Village tomorrow. Tell them that it’s sponsored as an anti-theft measure.”

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. “Will it cost a lot of money?”

“Not much.”

Only then did Santiago then stop talking.

After the meal, Santiago left Raeleigh’s place and made another call to Jacky. This time, Jacky answered the call, but he was abroad.

“Are you overseas now?”

“Yes, there’s something I need to do. Help me take care of Logan.”

“Don’t tell me that you’re looking for Deanna?” Thinking of Raeleigh’s obstinence was when she denied it, Santiago felt that things were not so simple.

“Even if I go, I won’t be able to see her. Don’t worry, I’m not looking for Deanna, but I do have something to do. Don’t you know my job?”

Hearing Jacky’s words, Santiago instantly remembered Jacky’s profession.

“Is it a big deal this time?” Santiago leaned to one side. He would not be bothered if Jacky was not looking for Deanna.

“More or less. Enough for a lifetime.”

After all, he would be satisfied his whole life if he had Deanna, so technically speaking, what he said was true.

Santiago found it amusing. “Let’s wet our whistles when you come back.”

“No problem.”

…

After hanging up, Jacky glanced at his phone and put it into his pocket. After that, he focused on the entrance of the Hubton Academy, ordering his men to get ready.

“When they come out later, you guys go and abduct her while the rest of you lure the others away. Zorion is not an ordinary person, therefore don’t be careless.

Leave immediately after luring them away. We can’t afford to be late for the flight an hour later.”

“What about you?”

“I can escape myself.”

“Okay.”

Since Rossie had been kidnapped, Zorion had arranged many bodyguards around her, but Jacky still managed to succeed.

When Rossie was on the plane, she was reeling in shock as she did not expect Jacky to be here. Although she disliked him, she was aware that Jacky would not hurt her. Hence, she did not struggle at all.

While on the plane, Rossie intended to go to the washroom. Thus Jacky took her to it. He would take her wherever she wanted, and he would also ask for her preference when it came to meals.

Rossie let out a long sigh when she disembarked. Little did she expect to come back after leaving for a few days.

“How much are you going to extort from Zorion this time?”

“This time, it’s not for money, but for my brother.” As he finished his words, Jacky brought over a hat and placed it on Rossie’s head. He then pulled her wrist and took her to Waverly Village.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

It wasn’t until Rossie had gotten into the car that she knew what had happened to Logan. Moreover, they were all there last time except her. This time, Jacky wanted to fulfill Logan’s final wish before his death.

He wanted Logan and her to get married.

“Are you kidding me? I’m also very sympathetic to Logan, but how can we do this?” Rossie asked Jacky in the car. Jacky gazed outside with a stern expression, saying, “Then what should we do? My brother almost died for you, yet you continued your studies outside without him. Now, his last wish is to marry you and let you give birth to a child for him. Do you think this is too much?”

There was no change in Jacky’s tone, but Rossie felt edgy hearing his words as he didn’t seem to be lying.

“I need to call Zorion.”

“I will call him. You can rest assured about this.”

When the car arrived at the destination, Jacky pushed open the car door and emerged from it. Rossie darted a glance at the outside and refused to get out of the car. “We weren’t here last time. It’s not the right place.” Rossie was a little perturbed now, and she even intended to run away.

“This is the house I’ve prepared to celebrate Logan’s wedding. He is living here, so this is not the place you went to last time.”

After speaking, Jacky motioned for his men to bring Rossie over. Resisting, Rosse turned around to pick up a stone, lifted it up and said to Jacky, “You don’t have the rights to do this.”

“I know very well about human rights. My brother almost died because of you. After marrying you, there’s nothing left to be complained about even if he’s dying.”

“You are all robbers.”

“If you’re that brave, hit me. If you can flee from me, I promise that I won’t capture you back. Though I’m afraid that it’s beyond your capabilities.”

Turning around, Jacky walked toward the opposite side while instructing, “Take her to Logan’s place.”

“Yes, sir.”

They pushed her to Logan’s place. As she had entered, they locked the door from the outside.

Nobody would come to her rescue even if she screamed for help.

…

“When is it?”

Zorion’s face fell the moment he received the call about Rossie’s abduction.

“We’ve been looking for her for two days.”

Zorion gritted his teeth. “Jacky, you must be tired of living!”

Hanging up, Zorion walked out. Just as he reached the door, he stopped and paused as he recalled the letter from Deanna. Afterward, he walked back, picked up his phone, and called Jacky.

However, Jacky did not answer his call.
