Getting My Ex-wife Back

After Raeleigh and the others left, Hansen said right away, “We are here to apologize for what had happened in the past.”

Lamar’s expression darkened slightly, but he did not lose his temper. He simply stared at Hansen, who gave Jenna a look. Following that, Jenna stood up in an instant and went to the kitchen to pour some tea for Lamar and Jazelle.

“I have never capitulated in my lifetime, except for the sake of my wife. Now, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my parents.”

Hansen held the cup of tea and handed it to Lamar, who just stared back at him. There was a starlike sparkle in Lamar’s eyes. He did not accept it, nor did he reject it. Consequently, Hansen held the cup of tea in air for a long time while waiting for Lamar to receive it. However, Lamar did not do so.

“It was your mother who stole Raeleigh away back then. I’m afraid that I can’t accept it. Other matters are negotiable, but for this one, I’m sorry.”

You are parents too. You understand how precious children are to us. My daughter had been taken away when she was born, and I had been looking for her since then. Thank goodness that my effort was not in vain. But I could have spent much more time with her in the past as a parent. It was just that I had been deprived of the right to do so. Who’s going to make up for all the lost time to me? You, your mother, or your son?

Try to put yourself in my shoes. Originally, we could have put a lid on this matter. I could forgive you and your mother if you let Raeleigh go back with us and promised not to disturb us again. But you turned a blind eye to your son’s behavior, which in turn led to their marriage.

Marriage is one of the most important events in life. Although we’re in a modern era, we value the traditions one has to go through before the wedding, like the meeting of both families and the planning of the wedding.

I only have a daughter and a son. I won’t let my son marry a person who I have no clear understanding of, let alone my daughter.

Since this marriage took place without my consent. No matter what’s going on with it, there’s only one ending for it, which is divorce.”

“Mr. Osteen…” Jenna wanted to speak something, but Hansen held her hand. “We’re not here to discuss this. It’s about my mother, who took Raeleigh away.”

“They’re the same, to me at least. I am against Raeleigh marrying your son, and I don’t acknowledge this marriage. I won’t tell anyone about what had happened back in the day. Regarding the evidence, I will destroy them as well. However, I won’t allow this marriage.

No matter whether you came for your parents, or your son, my answer is the same, no.”

“Mr. Osteen, why do you have to be so determined? They are in love with each other, but you insist on breaking this marriage apart. Doing this won’t do good for anyone.

When it comes to a relationship, we can’t judge it for them. Only the ones involved can understand their own relationship.”

“Mr. Richards is right. Outsiders can’t tell the story of their relationship clearly. Nevertheless, I believe that it’s just a temporary suffering to be separated. A few years later, each of them will find their own happiness.

I think it is worthwhile to use years of suffering in exchange for a lifetime of peace.”

“Mr. Osteen, I can tell that you and your wife are in love with each other. That’s why you should be aware that the feelings for someone you love are irreplaceable. I, too, made some mistakes when I was young. No matter how much time has passed, I couldn’t forget about her nor let her go. As long as she is still alive, she will stay in my heart forever. A lifetime isn’t that long. I believe that if they truly love each other, their feelings will last a lifetime.

Mr. Osteen, for something as unforeseeable as this, are you willing to bet on it? Using Raeleigh’s lifetime as an ante?”

“You can rest assured that I’m confident. Although Raeleigh loves him, as long as they are separated, I have a way to help her get over it and move on.”

“There is no need to make the children pay for the adults’ mistakes. They are innocent.”

As Hansen spoke, he put down the cup of tea from his hand.

Lamar said, “It might seem to be the case on the surface, but in reality, it will be a disaster for Raelight in the future if I let her stay by your mother’s side. There’s definitely no way that I will do so. You should know your mother’s character. If she knows that Raeleigh is the child she stole in the past, God knows how she will treat Raeleigh.

I haven’t gotten to the bottom of what had happened that year, but I’m sure that it wasn’t coincident. So many lives were lost for the sole purpose of murdering Raeleigh. Isn’t this a well-grounded reason for me to separate Raeleigh from your son?”

“But the two of them have already become husband and wife. Why do you have to tear their marriage apart? What’s the point of doing that?”

Hansen was irritated, but he still stifled his fury.

Lamar replied, “If it poses a threat to Raeleigh, I will break this marriage apart no matter what.

I won’t let my daughter be with a man whose grandmother wanted to kill her in the past.”

“You are too stubborn, just like how you were back then.” Hansen stood up as he could not continue this conversation.

Seeing her husband getting up, Jenna held him down at once and looked at Lamar while asking, “Mr. Osteen, if you feel disinclined to accept our proposal, we can discuss it further. In fact, there should be a reason for what happened in the past. We are investigating too. It’s just that my father-in-law hasn’t told the truth so far, and we can’t ask my mother-in-law about it. If she knows, Raeleigh may be in danger.

Thus, we’re making slow progress, but anyway, there should be a cause for this matter. Can you tell us the cause?”

“The cause was our identity as renowned archaeologists back then. We were the arbiters when it came to the appraisal of artifacts.

Some people came to us and gave us a large batch of antiques. If one of them were to be genuine, it might be worth more than ten million dollars. If they went on sale in the market, it would be a devastating blow to us.

After appraising them, we confirmed that they were all counterfeits, so we refused to certify them as authentic antiques.

As a result, those people harbored a grudge against us and threatened us. If we refused to help them, they would take measures to coerce us into obeying them.

We didn’t yield in the end, but we were trapped in the country. Besides, my wife was close to labor at that time, and I was perturbed that something would happen on the way. Therefore, we decided to stay until the child was born.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

We had made an appointment with a top-notch hospital after careful consideration.

However, little did we expect that the baby would be taken away right after she was born. Before that, the doctor told us that she was gone.

I didn’t believe it. I went to find the baby, but she was gone.

We had been looking for the child for a long time, but to no avail.

It turned out that Mr. Richards’s mother was the one who took the child away. Why did she do so? It remains a mystery even until today.

The people who came to us back in the day were neither a member from the Richards family nor people with fame. They were a bunch of monstrous robbers who committed all sorts of crimes. Why Mr. Richards’s mother had dealings with such people was beyond us.”
