Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1236

Ten days had passed, but Raeleigh couldn't remember why she had come here.

She accompanied her mother in the garden every day and followed her to see her work in the painting studio. She had to admit that she had a very talented and romantic mother.

It was raining that day. Raeleigh had returned from her mother's room. When the weather was bad, her mother would lie in bed. Raeleigh would feel distressed when she saw how uncomfortable her body looked. But there was no other way around it. It was pain that remained from her younger times.

She accompanied her mother for a while before heading back. She remembered Santiago's call from the day before. He said that he would come to her place. Raeleigh asked him about Cynthia, and he said that everything had since settled down.

Santiago didn't elaborate though, which Raeleigh felt wasn't a good thing. "Okay, but what does that mean?"

She initially wanted to ask about the scar, but Santiago quickly hung up the phone, so she didn't ask any more questions.

As she looked around the room, Raeleigh was lying on a beautiful and comfortable bed. The longer she stayed, the more she didn't want to leave. She had missed out on her parents' love ever since she was a child. She would think of her parents all the time. Now that she had returned to them, she was very reluctant to leave because she missed them so much.

However...

There was an agreement with the Harvey Group. She had agreed to work for them because of the scholarship.

If she didn't design anything for the Harvey Group, then they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. But if she chose not to continue her studies, then it was uncertain what might happen to her.

Jepherson wasn't an ordinary person. He wouldn't easily let go of things. It wasn't in line with his style.

She fiddled with her long hair, turned over, and lay in bed. She unclasped her hands and stared blankly at the ceiling. "What should I do?"

If she went back, then she wouldn't be able to protect herself. Jepherson wouldn't let her go so easily.

Getting entangled with him, as a brother and sister, they'd be discovered sooner or later.

Right then, everyone knew that they weren't siblings. Jepherson had mistakenly assumed this. If he knew that they weren't siblings and that the children hadn't gone missing, then what would he be like?

Raeleigh covered her face with her hands. What should she do?

It was raining outside. She turned to look out of the window. It was still raining heavily at a time like that.

Raeleigh didn't rest that day either. She didn't get up until it was evening. She walked to the mirror listlessly and looked at herself. She didn't know if she was hallucinating. Raeleigh felt like she looked a little plump.

She lifted her hand to hold her chest, checked her waist, and touched her behind. It seemed that she really was a bit plump.

Her skin was pale and delicate. Raeleigh pinched her cheek. She didn't know what was going on. Was it because of her face cream or was it something she ate? Her whole body felt different. She looked like an egg with its shell peeled off. She was so beautiful that she had nothing to say.

She touched her smooth black hair. Recently, Xanthus had been taking her to get her hair done. She had to do it every day. She didn't ask someone to do it. There was still more than half an hour before then. She wasn't used to it, but she was then.

Her hair was really lustrous.

Raeleigh walked towards the window and looked outside. No one knew how wealthy the Osteen family was, but she certainly felt rich.

Taking a deep breath, she casually tied up her hair, turned around, put on her coat, and went out of the room. Raeleigh was too embarrassed to ask the servants to call her when it was time for dinner. She had her own hands and feet, so it was unnecessary.

As she stepped out of the door and went downstairs, Raeleigh heard someone talking downstairs.

Raeleigh explained everything to Jazelle. Later on, Lamar came to assure Raeleigh not to worry. Then, she stood up and took Jepherson outside.

After leaving the room, Raeleigh turned around and looked at him. He then took off his coat and put them on Raeleigh. He said, "Don't dress like this in the future. I don't like my own womn being looked at by other people, not even by her own biological parents or brother."

Raeleigh looked down at her long dress. When she bought it, it fitted quite loosely. However, she had gotten quite plump those days, which made it fit tighter.

But at that time, it wasn't the right time to explain it, so she ignored it.

She pursed her lips and found that she wasn't used to her past self, who was strong, stubborn, and unyielding.

She was like a little bird without any natural predators here. She had dropped her guard and had begun to focus on her life. She was no longer the hedgehog with thorns all over its body, yet fragile within.

Raeleigh forced a smile. "We..."

"Reconcile!" Raeleigh hadn't even finished speaking, yet Jepherson answered immediately. He stopped talking. She was dressed rather scantily. He came dressed in a white shirt and a coat that Raeleigh had returned.

Cold autumn rain was drizzling outside. It wasn't the right season to dress simply in a shirt, especially when it rained.

Raeleigh could tell he was cold, but he didn't feel cold at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand to grasp her hand and placed it on his chest, so that she could feel his heartbeat.

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on him and drew back her hands. "No!"

After screaming that out, Raeleigh turned around and sighed helplessly.
