Getting My Ex-wife Back

“You’ve misunderstood. My mother-in-law isn’t a bad person. She’s not the sort of person who will harm others. There must be a reason for her to take Raeleigh away. It should be related to this batch of antiques you mentioned. We’ll find a way to look into it. Just give us some time. As for the two children, I think it’s better to wait a little longer. Raeleigh is kind. Despite Jerry’s uncaring exterior, he is true-hearted toward Raeleigh.

You lost your daughter and had been looking for her for many years. However, you managed to find her at last.

On the contrary, something had happened to me in the past. I could have had a daughter, but when I was going to give birth, I fell from height and lost my child.

Back then, Jerry was only five years old. He thought that the baby was born and had survived. He had been seeking this child ever since he grew up. You might not believe me, but you can investigate it. In the past few years, he had gone to many places to search for this non-existent little sister. He didn’t come across with many girls. He has only seen a few girls since he was young, and he always treats them as his sister.

Raeleigh is the exception. He does like her.

Separation is too cruel to him. I hope you can give us some time and an opportunity to uncover the truth in the past and resolve the misunderstanding.”

“I don’t care about the misunderstanding anymore. Regarding the matter in the past, I hope that others will regard Raeleigh as a dead child. The past is the past for a reason. Why should we bring it up again?”

Notwithstanding a lot of persuasions, Lamar still didn’t approve of Raeleigh’s marriage. He even made it clear by saying, “We’re going to take the relevant measures regarding their divorce as soon as possible. If you don’t agree, I can uphold my rights as a father through legal means. I believe that Raeleigh will comply and stand by my side.”

The negotiation had reached an impasse, as neither side would budge. Hansen pulled a long face. “Try it then. Raeleigh is the daughter-in-law of my family. Without my consent, the divorce can’t proceed.”

Jenna had lost for words. Her husband’s way of handling problems had always been like this. Now that the soft approach was ineffective, he could only go rough.

It was just that Jenna didn’t think there was any effective method for this matter.

On the other side, Jazelle was very calm. She had not spoken much throughout the conversation, but this was what disconcerted Jenna since she couldn’t grasp what Jazelle was thinking.

Without seeing eye to eye, Jenna said, “Let’s put this matter aside first. You see, we haven’t had breakfast yet. Would you like to have breakfast with us?”

“You haven’t had breakfast yet?” It wasn’t until now that Jazelle began to speak. Jenna looked at Jazelle as if she had seen Deanna of the Whalen family.

“Give me a few minutes. I’ll prepare some food for you.” Jazelle got up and walked to the kitchen. It was the first time Jenna visited them. How could she stay and let the host serve them? What was more, she just wanted to smooth things through by changing the subject. Since they couldn’t reach an agreement, she had to leave.

“No need to go to the trouble of cooking. Let’s have lunch together at noon. We can have some toast first. Jacky is a thoughtful child. We stayed at his side last night and promised him to have breakfast with him this morning. We’ll go back now.

If there is anything else, we will come again.”

Jenna went to bid Jazelle a farewell at the kitchen before coming back to pull Hansen up from the sofa. Only then did the two of them leave the house.

After they had left, Jazelle came from the kitchen and sat down beside her husband. “Lamar, what do you think?”

“We still need to get to the bottom of it. From what we can tell now is that there are still many suspicions.

That said, we can’t trust all their words blindly, especially Hansen. Just by looking at his two sons, I can tell what kind of astute businessman he is. He acted so civilly as soon as he came here. That show of apology-and-contrition of his was impressive, I must say. I was almost moved by it. If it hadn’t been for the pull you gave me at the critical moment to remind me, I would have forgotten our aim.

It seems that my willpower isn’t as strong as yours.”

Jazelle grinned. “I didn’t say anything just now. Hadn’t we agreed that I would only be watching from the sidelines and remind you if anything went wrong?”

“There was no other options left for us. They are not ordinary people. Not everyone can develop such a big business up to international level. Their two sons aren’t simple either. If we weren’t careful, we might be screwed. What have I done wrong in my life? Why do I have to deal with such a hard nut to crack?”

“Quite the reverse. You must have been practicing good deeds that two children and I are vouchsafed to you. Even if we had lost our daughter, didn’t we find her back? Isn’t heaven good for us? There is no such thing as an unimpeded journey in life. Now that we are all healthy and that our children have grown up into considerate individuals, what more could we ask for?”

“What an silver tongue you’ve gotten.” Lama cuddled his wife and patted her on the back, narrowing his eyes and mulling over this issue.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

…

Outside the door, Hansen, who was leaving, wore a darkened expression. It was a tricky affair for him to solve.

Jenna pulled him and said, “Hansen, why were you so hasty? You scared the daylights out of me.”

Hansen laughed. “As the saying goes, the apple never falls far from a tree. Lamar isn’t the most difficult to deal with. After all, he is a man who cares about image and courtesy. He will still concede on the surface.”

“Jazelle, who was sitting behind him, shouldn’t be underestimated.”

“What did you say?” Jenna didn’t quite comprehend. “I think Jazelle is similar to Deanna. She seems naive and amiable.”

“She might seem amiable, but I’m afraid she’s more calculative than us. When I was speaking, Jazelle gave Lamer a pull when he hesitated for a moment. It seems that they don’t want to let it go just like this.”

“Are you saying that Jazelle is unwilling to let Raeleigh marry into our family?”

“She is already a member of our family. To divorce is easier said than done. Even if she wants to remarry Jerry after divorce, I won’t allow it. Moreover, Jerry won’t divorce.

He is heedful of Raeleigh’s matter. I think he has long since known that his grandmother was the one who took Raeleigh away in the past.

Dad must be worried that Lamar would not allow Raeleigh to marry Jerry easily due to what happened back then that he still helped Jerry.

Clever as he is, Jerry is indeed my son.”

Not only did Hansen not appear glum, but he was also laughing more cheerfully than anyone else. Discerning his smugness and joyfulness, Jenna couldn’t help but say to him, “You weren’t like this just now. Why are you so happy now?”

Hansen beamed at her. “Why shouldn’t I be happy? The marriage has been established, and the parents of the two families have met. And they want to propose a divorce just because of a little conflict? Seriously? The children haven’t even expressed any intention to divorce, so we have no rights to do so either.”

Jenna considered for a while after hearing Hansen’s words. “Why were they so serious back then?”

“How were they going to test us if they weren’t serious?” Hansen took his wife into his arms. The weather was still cold. To prevent freezing, they walked faster. Jenna asked, “So, you mean that they were trying to test us because they approve the marriage between Raeleigh and Jerry?”

Jenna was still confused.

“Since they approved, could it be that…” she thought about this.

Soon, Hansen gave her the answer.
