Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1176

Silence descended upon Raeleigh. She turned around and went back to the villa. Never again did she give her actions and emotions away, nor did she bring up again the subject of leaving Harvey Group. On that same note, however, she didn't produce any pieces of work, and Harvey Group didn't bother her either.

Raeleigh rested for two days and was ready to attend the lectures in the university.

"Raeleigh, are you really going to attend the lectures?" Deanna had bought a lot of delicious food for Raeleigh Tristany in the morning. Recently, Deanna had been spending her time in leisure and hadn't been attending any lectures. Rossie came to her house, and her brother no longer stayed by her side every day. Sometimes, she felt that she had fallen out of her brother's favor.

Nevertheless, she was still quite happy that her brother had taken a liking to someone. It was just that she couldn't put up with his behavior of overstaying his welcome in Rossie's room. After all, Rossie was a girl. How could he do such a thing to a girl by force?

She had seen Rossie trying to flee more than once, but her endeavors were all to no avail.

Deanna felt that her brother was guilty of occasionally going too far with his actions.

"I'm all fine now, so I can go to the university. If I don't, then my body is gonna age way faster than its expiry date." Raeleigh tidied herself up, dressing up in her former style. Deanna sat aside with her white blouse and yellow coat. She was as beautiful as a flower fairy in autumn, but she envied Raeleigh, and the decisiveness and determination she possessed. Unlike herself, who was always indecisive and couldn't decide on what to do.

"Then, I also want to go to campus. I'll go with you." Deanna called home. Her brother was busy showering, and it was Rossie who picked up her call.

"Hello?" Rossie's voice could be heard through the phone. Deanna had gotten used to Rossie instead of her brother answering her call. "Rossie, I'm at Raeleigh's house. I'll be attending the lectures. Pass this message to my brother, thanks."

"I got you. Be careful." Rossie put down the phone and took a look at Zorion, who was wrapped in a towel and had just come out of the shower room. She told him, "The call was from your sister. She said that she is going to attend lectures. She is at Raeleigh's place currently."

Drying his hair, Zorion gazed at Rossie while he approached her.

"Why did you put on your clothes? Are you going out?" Zorion walked up to her, threw the towel aside, and cuddled her.

Rossie didn't push him away, but neither did she welcome it either.

"I figure I could use a day off."

"Remind me again, to get a day off or to run away?" There had been more than a few times that he had ambushed her and brought her back, yet she still intended to run away.

"I have no intention of running away." Rossie didn't know what to say. It was not that she hated Zorion. She just didn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps and ended up being a plaything of men.

She wanted to decide her own fate, and to obtain her desired freedom through her own efforts.

Zorion held Rossie tightly. "No, you're trying to run away."

"You know what? Whatever floats your boat." Rossie lowered her head, showing not much of a reaction. Zorion pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him.

Their eyes met. "Under no circumstances should you try to escape again. If I catch you doing it, then you're in for a good beating."

"I'm human, and I'm not running away. I just want to feel the weather outside. Can't I even do that?"

Raeleigh sidestepped him and continued going forward without speaking a word, for she had nothing to say.

Santiago caught up with her, taking her aside, but she refused to go with him. Subsequently, they began pulling and pushing each other. Scarlette was so on edge that she had no idea how to console Raeleigh. Deanna, on the other hand, couldn't care less about manners. She stepped forward and pushed Santiago, protecting Raeleigh, who was behind her. "What are you doing? You wanna fight, huh?"

Santiago stopped, biting his lip. "Should I teach you a lesson?"

"Excuse you? I think you're the one who should be taught a lesson. Don't forget that I'm older than you. You should regard me as your elder sister," Deanna said, standing with her arms akimbo. Santiago gnashed his teeth. "Get out of the way."

"Over my dead body. What can you do to me? Don't think that you're very capable just because you looked taller and more muscular than us women. Let me tell you something. You're all brawn and no brains. Raeleigh can do whatever she wants. She doesn't take orders from you."

Raeleigh stood behind her, ruminating for a while. Then, she lifted her hand and pulled Deanna. "Deanna."

"Raeleigh, don't be afraid. As long as I am here, he won't dare to do anything to you. I will tell my brother." Deanna turned around and looked at Raeleigh, who shook her head, saying, "I'm okay. He just wanted to take me aside so I could collect myself. He thinks it's meaningless for me to attend the lecture with me being in this state. Actually, I'm with him on this. It was just that he was a bit rude, so it kinda triggered the fight-or-flight response in me. But we're good."

"Raeleigh, you're too kind for your own good." Scarlette held Raeleigh's hand, unable to swallow her anger.

"Scarlette, go to the lecture hall first with Deanna and Hadrian. I want to go for a stroll. Santiago will accompany me. Trust me, I'll be fine."

After saying so, Raeleigh turned around and walked to another side, stepping along the path littered with fallen leaves.
