Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1553

After finishing the work in the office, Jepherson handed the document to Horacio and stood up.

Raeleigh looked at the bracelet that had returned to her wrist and followed Jepherson. Leaving the president's office, she stopped him, "Hold up."

Jepherson hadn't strode away either; he was waiting for her.

"I'm not going anywhere."

Raeleigh fell silent for a moment; he made it sound like she was desperate to follow him.

"Take this off, so you don't have to take me with you whenever you need it." She stretched out her hand to him, and he took a look at it. "Raeleigh, have you heard of albatross?"

Raeleigh frowned. "What does this have to do with albatross?"

"Albatross is a monogamous bird. If one dies, the partner will follow; it will stick to its deceased partner and starve itself to death."

"I'm like that too. I will only ever love one person in my life; this bracelet is the keepsake of our love. Unless I die, I will never take it off you."

"Are you nuts? Do you think I will trust-"

"You already have. Or your eyes won't redden. Even if you conceal your feelings well, you are my woman; don't forget that. I know what you're thinking." His gaze, fathomless as he stared at Raeleigh, making her slightly uncomfortable.

"Why do you always have so many high-sounding reasons to make me relent? When did you ever give me the freedom to decide on my own?"

"Meeting you must be a punishment for my sins; I'll never be able to pay it off."

"Haha..." Jepherson couldn't help but guffaw, his face stunning and spirited.

He could make any girl fall for him, but Raeleigh couldn't cheer up seeing him now for some reason.

"Aren't you going back to continue the lecture?" Raeleigh checked the time, and Jepherson turned around. "It's meaningless even if I stay the entire day if you're not there."

Raeleigh paused for a while. "I'm going back to the lecture hall. Don't come again next time."

"It depends on whether there's any matter in the university. If there isn't, I won't."

Raeleigh didn't know if he meant it, but she would just listen.

Returning to the lecture hall, Raeleigh returned to her seat while Jepherson continued to give the lecture. Raeleigh didn't gain much valuable knowledge as she had learned it before. Therefore, she didn't pay much attention to it, unlike the other students.

As the lecture ended, Raeleigh submitted the assignment and intended to leave when Jepherson stopped her.

"Raeleigh, come to my office." Jepherson headed out with Raeleigh's assignment in his hands. She hadn't wanted to go, but the other students were all looking at her. It would be more troublesome if she didn't go.

Arriving at his office, Raeleigh knocked on the door. After getting the okay, she pushed the door open and entered.

Jepherson had just washed his hands before coming out with a tRhys of fruits. Raeleigh took a look without going in any further after closing the door.

Jepherson paused shortly and gestured for her to come closer.

Raeleigh looked at him. "Why did you want to see me for?"

"Is this what a wife should ask? Shouldn't you be kinder to your husband after a few days of separation?" As Jepherson spoke, he undid the top two buttons on his shirt, revealing his appealing physique and perfect clavicle.

Raeleigh sighed. "We need to talk."

"Let's sit."

Raeleigh didn't say anything. She knew he was right, but she couldn't accept Stella had moved into their place.

Jepherson was well aware it bothered her. He did nothing but hold Raeleigh in his arms until he took her for lunch.

They ate outside of the university.

Raeleigh was reluctant, but Jepherson asked, gnashing his teeth, "Are you trying to avoid me forever?"

Raeleigh did not answer, silent the entire journey.

She barely ate her food either. For the first time, Jepherson realized how powerless he was when she threw a tantrum.

"I don't mind feeding you mouth-to-mouth," Jepherson said, lowering his head while slicing the steak elegantly. Hearing his words, Raeleigh looked up at him. He put a piece of steak into his mouth and looked at her as he chewed.

Raeleigh lowered her head, cut her steak, and fed herself as her mind wandered elsewhere.

Jepherson took a sip of red wine, leading Raeleigh to look at him. "You rarely drink."

"I also rarely make mistakes."

Raeleigh said nothing.

What did he mean?

Jepherson continued to eat but suddenly paused, placed his cutleries on the plate, and dabbed his lips with the napkin; his gaze on the two people who were here for lunch too.

Only then did Raeleigh turn around and sweep her eyes over the two people who came up to greet them.
