Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1399

When Raeleigh entered the house, Calvin and Belle were waiting in the living room. As they waited, they admired the paintings and interior design.

Bernardo had already invited them to have a seat, but Calvin and Belle were not one to lose their manners; they wouldn't sit before the head of the house came out.

People like them were well aware of the etiquette when visiting someone sincerely.

It was justifiable that Raleigh's family didn't want to see them. After all, Jepherson had done the unspeakable. They were grateful to even be able to come in.

Parents always put their children first. If they had a daughter and the same thing happened to her, Belle couldn't even guarantee she'd be able to forgive immediately, but her husband, on the other hand?

Belle unconsciously glanced at her husband, who was looking at the paintings by her side. She knew he wouldn't let it go, at the very least. He might even wreak havoc with their two sons, burn the guy to ashes, and then feed him to the dogs.

Belle shook her head. Everyone was two-faced; if it happened to someone else, it was easy to let go, but it would be different if it were happening to them.

Raeleigh changed her shoes, took off her coat, and hung it on the coat rack. She walked to Calvin and Belle. "Uncle Calvin, Auntie Belle, I'm sure you're tired. Please, have a seat while I go and check on my parents. They're not always in their room, especially my mom. She likes to stay in the studio, and my dad would often accompany her. Maybe they're not back yet. It's a twenty minutes walking distance; I'll go take a look."

Raeleigh was in a dilemma. They had been there for twenty minutes already; her parents should already be here. Plus, someone would've informed them if they weren't at home.

Standing aside, Bernardo glanced upstairs. They were home!

"Raeleigh, don't worry about us. Calvin and I really like the paintings your family owns; we can take a good look at them in the meantime."

Belle patted Raeleigh's hand as she spoke. Feeling somewhat awkward, Raeleigh said, "My parents are not usually like this; I'm sure there's a reason."

With that, she turned to Bernardo and asked, "Bernardo, are my parents not home?"

What should he say?

"I did see them going out this morning; I just came back myself. Maybe they're still out." Bernardo could only put it that way. After all, it was unusual.

Raeleigh looked at Bernardo and believed his words as she trusted that he would never lie to her.

"What about Grandma? Is she home?"

She was sure her grandmother would be home.

Bernardo nodded. "Yes."

"Then I'll go up and see Grandma," Raeleigh said and looked at Belle, "Auntie Belle, I'm sure you're tired, please, have a seat. I'll go and take a look at Grandma... Bernardo, please prepare some tea and cake."

"Yes, Miss Raeleigh."

Lennox ordered someone else to prepare while he stayed with the guests there.

After Jepherson put the things on the table, he took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack. Then he went back to the table and took a scarf as he looked upstairs. After some thought, he walked upstairs. Seeing that, Bernardo walked over to him and said, "Mr. Harvey..."

"Please, call me Jepherson."

Jepherson turned his head around and said to Lennox, then went straight upstairs. He was as quick as the wind; although it didn't look so, it took him barely any time to reach upstairs. Bernardo didn't catch up to him, and he couldn't shout, so he waited downstairs resignedly.

Belle was a little worried. She held her husband's arm and tugged on him. "Calvin..."

Calvin patted her hand and gave her a reassuring look. Seeing so, she nodded.

Raeleigh knocked on the door when she reached Novalie's room, and Novalie told her to go in.

Raeleigh froze for a moment when she saw her grandmother watching TV. When Novalie saw Raeleigh, she asked her to lock the door.
