Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh didn’t want to answer, so Scarlette stopped asking in front of everyone. When she stayed at Raeleigh’s that night, she asked Raeleigh what had happened that day.

At first, Raeleigh just laid there without saying anything. No matter how much Scarlette asked her about it, she refused to say anything. Later, she turned around, put her arms around Scarlette and said from  behind her, “If it were you, could you tolerate Hadrian bringing another woman and letting her live under the same roof as you, even if he doesn’t really love her?”

Scarlette was baffled for a second. She knew that there must be something going on. Sure enough, Mr. Jepherson was at it again!

Scarlette held Raeleigh’s hand. “Raeleigh, did you tell Mr. Jepherson that you can’t live with that b*tch?”

“I did but it didn’t change anything.”

“Mr. Jepherson is so selfish.” Scarlette couldn’t stand it anymore. If it were Hadrian, she would have gone over and slapped him, chopped him into pieces, wrapped them inside a bun, and fed it to dogs.

Raeleigh gave Scarlette a hug. “It’s precisely because he’s so selfish that I don’t want to see him.”

“This isn’t good. I heard from Hadrian that you and Mr. Jepherson have gotten married?” Scarlette found it hard to accept the truth. She had only learned that Xanthus and Raeleigh were not a couple, but biological siblings just two days ago.

The world was so small that Xanthus was able to locate his long-lost sister. Scarlette wondered why no one came to find her.

She was envious of Raeleigh, but it turned out that…

No one was looking for her either.

“I was too impulsive. To think of it now, it was like a dream.” Though Raeleigh didn’t regret it, she realized she didn’t think it through before getting married.

It was true – women should not be too reckless. The consequences of being reckless was a nightmare to deal with.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to divorce Mr. Jepherson?” Scarlette sighed internally. Marriage was not a game. Although it was just a piece of paper, it was still sacred, especially for women. A divorced woman was considered rather worthless.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Raeleigh smiled, “Not yet. It’ll be more foolish of me to divorce him. But things aren’t that much better now.”

“Scarlette, enough with the questions. The more you know, the more bothered you’ll become. If you remain unaware, your mind can be more at ease.”

“If it weren’t related to you, I wouldn’t have asked so much. Do you think I’m dying  to know these things ?” Scarlette’s heart went out to Raeleigh. Everything was fine at first, but she was suddenly treated so unfairly. Scarlette didn’t know what to make of this situation.

Raeleigh was silent for a while. “Actually, it isn’t a big deal.”

Silence fell between them.

Scarlette said, “You say that you’re fine, but who knows what’s really on your mind.”

“Let’s sleep.” Raeleigh didn’t want to say anything more. After all, there was nothing more she could say.

Scarlette mumbled, “What are you going to do next?”

“Your wedding is just around the corner. Aren’t we going to be busy, yet you still asked what I will be doing next? If you don’t need me to do anything for you, I can definitely be more relaxed. Moreover, we still have lectures to attend. It’s not like you don’t know that.”

“Wow, Raeleigh, I just realized how mentally strong you are. I’ve long known that you are not an ordinary person. Sure enough, I was right.”

No one knew when Scarlette fell asleep, though she had indeed talked a lot before that. Raeleigh could finally have some peace and quiet, but slumber was out of reach.

Raeleigh got out of bed and went outside to get some water. When she was getting ready to return to her room, Santiago happened to come out from Xanthus’s room. Raeleigh paused shortly when she reached the door. Then, she turned around and looked at Santiago, who was looking at her by the door. They exchanged a wordless glance.

Raeleigh then turned around and went back into her room. She sat on the bed and couldn’t help but feel depressed.

She held the glass of water in her hand. She just couldn’t fall asleep whenever she thought of the way Jepherson treated her.

She spent the whole night sitting in her dark room.

It was not until the sun rose that she got up from the chair and washed up.

She spent the next few days doing the same thing. She didn’t care about anything and was unwilling to see anyone. Jepherson dropped by a few times, but she just looked at him without saying a thing. This made Jenna so anxious that she found herself speechless at the situation.

“Jerry, what’s going on?” When they left, Jenna caught him with Jepherson and asked him.

“Stella’s presence made Raeleigh uncomfortable. I will deal with it as soon as possible. Scarlette’s wedding is tomorrow. Let’s talk about it after that.”

“Alright then.” Jenna had no choice but to watch her son leave.

“When will you behave maturely?” Santiago asked as he stood in the corner. Raeleigh didn’t see Jepherson off, so he came to ask her.

Raeleigh turned to gaze at Santiago. “Are you speaking up for him?”

“Do the two of you need me to do so?”

Raeleigh turned around and left without saying anything.

Santiago followed her, but neither of them spoke until Raeleigh went back to see her parents. Santiago left after that.

After he did, Jazelle wanted to ask Raeleigh what was going on. But at the same time, she was worried about stressing Raeleigh with such questions. Later, she tactfully told Raeleigh that if she really liked Jepherson, she had to take the initiative in pursuing him.

In fact, Jazelle felt the urge to reveal to her daughter that they only meant to test him temporarily, but Jazelle couldn’t bring herself to tell the truth.

Realizing how troubled her mother was, Raeleigh couldn’t help but feel disheartened at everything.

Raeleigh felt that she couldn’t go on like this, so she decided to snap out of it.

“Mom, what’s going on between Jepherson and I isn’t entirely because of you both, so don’t worry. With Scarlette inviting you and Dad to host the wedding, you should be happy. I’ve already got it figured out. I shall go with the flow when it comes to relationships, and I won’t be dispirited again, no matter what.”

Raeleigh comforted her mother. She needed some more time, but she could not remain in low spirits anymore.

Jazelle hugged Raeleigh, her heart aching for her daughter. She also blamed herself for this. If it weren’t for what had happened, if she had been able to be by her daughter’s side, Raeleigh wouldn’t turn out to be like this.

“I understand. I will be sure to attend their wedding joyfully tomorrow. You too, sweetheart.”

They hugged for a little while longer before letting go of each other. Then, they began to prepare for Scarlette’s wedding tomorrow.

Jenna was also busily heading back to get her preparations done as well. Otherwise, she would regret it.

While everyone was preoccupied with wedding preparations, Deanna was sitting anxiously in the attic pondering if she should go to Scarlette’s wedding.

If she did, people might laugh at her because of her belly. On the other hand, Scarlette had sent her an invitation while Jacky had also agreed to become Hadrian’s groomsman.

She couldn’t make up her mind!

“What should I do?” Deanna fixed her eyes on the gorgeously-designed invitation card. She heard that the artwork was done by Jepherson himself. Since this wedding was so important to Jepherson, it must be a rather grand one.

She would definitely regret it if she didn’t make it!
