Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1007

Raeleigh finally went to sleep in the morning after a productive night with Jepherson. The others had already started their day while they were still asleep.

Santiago knocked on the door after breakfast, waking Raeleigh and Jepherson.

"What's the matter?" Jepherson raised his head and looked at the door. He pulled the blanket over Raeleigh's shoulder. He was wary that Santiago would break into the room and come in.

Surely enough, Santiago opened the door and barged in the next moment.

Jepherson's face darkened. "Get out."

Raeleigh woke up in fear and immediately hid in Jepherson's arms. She felt so embarrassed that all their clothes were discarded on the floor.

Jepherson put on a grave expression but Santiago obviously couldn't care less. He stepped inside and sat on a wooden chair opposite the bed. He asked, "Is there any difference between sleeping with me and Raeleigh?"

"Get lost!" Jepherson raised one of his hands towards the door while he patted Raeleigh, who was tensed up in his other arm. His face was cold. Santiago sensed his anger, stood up, and headed towards the door. When the door closed, Raeleigh cast a glance at the door. Santiago suddenly opened the door again, giving Raeleigh a scare.

Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms firmly and said, "P*ss off!"

Santiago laughed heartily and closed the door behind him.

Raeleigh kept her head low until she heard his footsteps getting further. Her face had turned pale out of fear. She looked up at Jepherson and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"He has been unruly since he was a child. It is true that he has gone too far but he bears no ill will." Jepherson patted Raeleigh, stood up, and got out of bed. Raeleigh couldn't fall back asleep and put on her clothes hastily.

"Rest a bit more. He will not pester you without me." Jepherson went downstairs after he instructed Raeleigh.

Jepherson locked the door of the room from the outside and Raeleigh could finally sleep in peace after hearing the click of the lock.

Jepherson found Santiago downstairs and rolled his eyes in annoyance. He questioned him, "What are you causing trouble for?"

"For fun. Why are you so afraid?" Santiago didn't seem to care. Jepherson gave him a stern look and the two brothers started a stare-off with each other. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when Raeleigh finally woke up. Jepherson sat across from her while reading a book. He glanced up from the book as Raeleigh sat up.

"What do you want to eat?"

Raeleigh sobered up. "What's there to eat?"

"There's some porridge. There'll be more food during dinner. Have some porridge first."

"Are there any guests?" Raeleigh stood up. Jepherson shook his head and answered, "No one would come to visit this place. This is Santiago's territory. He's the owner of this place."

"Santiago's?" Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. She was getting more curious about his family. Jepherson stood up and gestured her out of the room. "Come with me."

Raeleigh put on her shoes and went outside. Santiago was playing cards with Hadrian and a few others. They turned around to look at the noise coming from the stairs.

As the two of them arrived downstairs, Santiago shifted in his seat and said, "Let's play together."

"I don't want to play. Tell your sister-in-law to play with you." Jepherson took off his coat and gave it to Raeleigh. Then, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

Santiago smiled at Raeleigh. "My dear sister-in-law, let's play."

Raeleigh froze, not knowing whether she should submit to being referred to as his sister-in-law or not.

She wanted to deny it but that would make her seem pretentious. After all, she had slept with Jepherson.

Yet, she felt embarrassed for admitting it as she had no official title. How could the Harvey family, a wealthy family, accept her?

Raeleigh was sitting by the side in silence while Santiago wore a naughty smile. "My dear Raeleigh, do you know how to play?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "I don't."

"How are you going to play if you don't know the rules?" Santiago was playing poker. Jepherson came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge with boiled eggs and put it down for Raeleigh.

"Eat something first. Watch while he plays. It's easy to learn." Jepherson sat next to Raeleigh. Santiago was shuffling the cards. Soon, the people who gathered began their rounds. They sat across from each other, including Scarlette, who appeared very excited.

Hadrian placed the three aces on the table and announced, "Three aces."

Raeleigh looked at Santiago. Santiago glanced at the cards in Raeleigh's hand. There were still many cards in Raeleigh's hand, and three kings had just appeared.

He shook his head, passing his turn.

Raeleigh fell silent.

"Place your cards." Santiago stared at his cards, and didn't bother to look at Raeleigh while he spoke. He had four two's in his hands!

Raeleigh pondered for a moment and counted the cards in her hands. Then, she placed all her cards down.

Scarlette was completely dumbfounded.

Raeleigh took the card from Santiago's hand. She shuffled all the cards and said, "I won before Santiago made any moves. According to my calculation, he'd have to pay back threefold, which is four hundred and eighty to each of us. Scarlette and Hadrian, you still have ten cards, so you have to pay a hundred bucks each."

She began to collect the money after she finished her sentence. The others looked at Raeleigh as if she was a freak. She put the money away and continued to play. They repeated for a dozen more times and she won every round. Although Scarlette didn't have much money left, she wanted to continue the game in an attempt to make back the money she had lost. She had lost around four to five thousand.

Hadrian was left penniless.

Santiago didn't have much money left either. He kept exchanging money with others.

Raeleigh was the only one who profited. A huge stack of cash sat in front of her.

Raeleigh said, "It's time for dinner. I am not playing anymore."

Raeleigh kept the money in the wallet and returned it to Jepherson. Jepherson followed after her to the dining room.

The three of them were left speechless as they stared at Raeleigh's back, who seemed like she had no care in the world.

All of them wondered, "Is she human?"
