Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1216

In the end, Raeleigh followed Jepherson out of the airport. Just then, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Stuart lowered his head and tried to convince Raeleigh, "Miss Raeleigh, Mr. Jepherson does not have any bad intentions. He's just jealous. If you can keep your distance from Xanthus, he will stop acting this way."

Raeleigh did not say anything because she did not know whether it was true. Since she was his subordinate, he had every reason to make things difficult for her.

Meanwhile, Jepherson waited in his car, his patience running thin. Then, he turned around to look at Raeleigh. Stuart gasped and immediately said, "Miss Raeleigh, after you."

Raeleigh then entered the car and followed Jepherson to the company.

She remained silent during the entire journey. For more than once Jepherson stole glances at her from the rearview mirror, but she did not even look at him once.

Jepherson felt a flicker of irritation. The more Raeleigh did not respond to him, the more furious he was. There was a storm brewing in his eyes.

Jepherson clenched his jaw at the thought of Xanthus and his tenderness towards her.

All the while, Stuart was sitting in front, his palm beading with sweat. If this continued on, it would be a recipe for an ensuing doom.

Soon, they arrived at the Richard's Group headquarters. Stuart hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for Jepherson. After Jepherson got out of the car, Raeleigh opened the other door and got out as well.

Raeleigh walked around the car and waited for Jepherson. He wanted to reach out for her hand, but she kept her hands behind her back, refusing to let him touch her.

Jepherson approached her and stared at her, his gaze deep and unwavering.

Raeleigh wanted nothing more than to leave. Jepherson then asked, "Okay, so you want me to carry you in."

Raeleigh glared at Jepherson and shot back, "Oh, yeah? You can shove it. I am merely one of your employees."

"But I don't mind treating you like a queen," After that, Jepherson bent over and wanted to gather her in his arms, but she took a couple steps backwards. He then shot her a warning look, as if telling her not to act rashly. After doing so, he still approached her, but not to carry her. Instead, he gave his hand to her and said, "You have two options. Pick one."

Raeleigh looked down at Jepherson's once gentle hand. It was not until this moment that she realised that love was actually a double-edged sword. In the end, both parties would get hurt.

With that, she gave her hand to Jepherson. The moment their hands touched, Raeleigh's heart trembled slightly. No one forced them into it; it was their fault for what happened. They not only hurt themselves, but also the people around them. However, it was too late to do anything now for their baby was gone.

As soon as Raeleigh extended her hand towards him, Jepherson immediately held it and strained a smile, "For once, you actually did not rebel."

Raeleigh froze. It was not until this moment that she realised how hideous Jepherson's bitter smile was.

She knew that he was forcing it. Jepherson immediately held her hand and did not wait for her answer. He turned around and led her into the office.

Stuart shook his head yet again. He knew that Jepherson was wrong beyond words to be doing this.

He was afraid that Jepherson would not be able to find a way out of this.

One of Jepherson's subordinates came out to talk to him as soon as he entered the door. He had an important meeting he needed to attend later, but he had yet to have breakfast.

Raeleigh initially felt dispirited, but as soon as Lamarre started talking about the car, she felt a surge of energy coursing through her body.

Jepherson, who was standing not far away from her, would occasionally glance over at her from time to time. However, Raeleigh's attention was always on the car.

Before the function ended, Jepherson raised his hand and clapped twice, commanding everyone's attention. He then announced that he was going to treat them to a meal today.

Everyone was taken aback. Although Jepherson was known to be generous, this was the first time he had invited them to dinner.

For more than a year since Jepherson had been in the company, everyone had already found out that he was not a fan of social events.

Although Calvin was the president of the company, everyone knew that Jepherson had long since proved his worth. That was why Calvin was willing to let him run the company. Besides, it was said that Calvin was a sucker for his wife, so he wanted to drop all his responsibilities and bring her for a honeymoon. He had always wanted his son to take over the company, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so. He was not about to let this slide.

After Jepherson had taken over the company, things were much more flexible. He was quite nice to his employees, his only demerit being his short fuse.

Therefore, the employees wondered why he was suddenly eager to buy them dinner.

However, it was a gospel known to all that Jepherson was not in the right frame of mind today. From the moment he arrived downstairs, he kept staring at the elevator. Anyone with discerning eyes would know that he had been expecting Raeleigh.

Once she showed up, he hadn't been able to take his eyes off her. This was a story of his life plain to the onlookers but not to himself.

This meal must have been for her.
