Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1597

On the weekend, Raeleigh prepared six dishes and a soup. It was very sumptuous. She invited Leander and his brother over for a meal.

During the meal, Xanthus was reading a magazine when he said, "Jepherson suffered a loss of 250 hundred million dollars this season."

Raeleigh quietly ate her fish without raising her head.

Xanthus looked at her. "Didn't you hear me?"

Raeleigh passed a piece of fish to Callis, who was concentrating on devouring the food. Leander told him, "Slow down. No one will steal it from you."

Raeleigh said, "It's okay. Just let him eat as much as he wants. He's going to stop once he is full. If you like it, I will cook for you every day."

Xanthus and Leander were speechless. They goggled at Raeleigh and Callis.

Callis continued to gobble up the rest of the dishes. Xanthus took a gander at his ravenous look, wondering how many years it had been since his last meal.

"Jepherson suffered a loss of 250 hundred million dollars."

"He can earn it back. That loss is just like washing money to him." Raeleigh passed another steak to Callis, who proceeded to munch on it. He soon became full.

"What do you mean? Washing money?" Xanthus was still a little puzzled about her words. Did she mean illegal money laundering or something?

"Literally. Throw it into the water, fish it out and dry it under the sun." After that, Raeleigh asked Callis smilingly, "Are you full?"

Callis did not answer. Raeleigh stood up. "Come on, let's go out for a walk."

"Raeleigh..."

Xanthus looked displeased. "Every time I bring him up, you will avoid the topic."

"Then why do you still insist on bringing it up?"

"If I don't mention..."

Raeleigh opened the door and left with Callis. Xanthus threw away the magazine and focused on his meal.

Stepping out of the door, Raeleigh shot a glance at Callis. "I'll take you to buy some clothes and walk around the village."

Raeleigh walked ahead with Callis following behind.

Raeleigh bought a set of clothes from a shop in the village for him, including some socks.

Afterward, Raeleigh didn't go home. As the weather had gotten warmer, she found a spot to rest and sat down with Callis.

Callis spoke not a word. He had an aura of quietness about him, which enraptured Raeleigh.

"Let's sit here for a moment. We'll go back when it's dark." Raeleigh sat on the bench and put her hands on her belly, unconsciously protecting her baby.

Callis gazed at her hands then at Raeleigh's sleeping face.

Callis just sat there, eyeballing Raeleigh silently.

Raeleigh was tugged awake by someone not long after she fell asleep. She opened her eyes to find that Callis was waving his hand and pointing at the sky.

Raeleigh lifted her head to look at the sky. As dark clouds had shrouded the sun, Raeleigh got up from her seat.

"Oh no, I left my washing outside. I have to go back quickly. Callis, let's go home."

Raeleigh turned around and hurried to go back, but Callis held her hand, gesturing her not to walk too fast. When Raeleigh looked back, he was picking up the items they had purchased. "I've forgotten about them. Let's go."

Raeleigh did not manage to go back speedily since Callis was carrying quite a lot of items in his hands.

By the time they got back, Xanthus had already taken in the washing and came out with an umbrella. Seeing Raeleigh, he heaved a sigh of relief and brought her in.

Entering the house, Raeleigh checked on her laundry. Only after she made sure that nothing was missing did she set her mind at ease. Subsequently, she went to sit down.

The others all gaped at her, feeling quite surprised by her behavior.

Raeleigh said nothing but went out with Callis after the meal to buy something for him.

Strolling along the bustling street, Raeleigh felt that it was pleasing to be accompanied by Callis.

At the thought, Raeleigh asked Callis, "Is there a girl you like?"

He lifted his head to gaze at Raeleigh and there was a tenderness in his eyes. Raeleigh added, "Surely there is. but no one really understands you."

Raeleigh bowed her head. "I too have someone I like. Just like you, no one understands me."

They walked single file down the street, with Raeleigh at the front. There was a distance of about five or six steps between them. Raeleigh enjoyed the scenery whereas Callis kept his eyes on her.

Unknowingly, they had reached the end of the street. Raeleigh stood there momentarily and turned to walk back.

All of a sudden, an unfamiliar kid on a bicycle whizzed toward her.

Raeleigh did not respond in time. She froze, not daring to move or shout. As the bicycle approached her like a thunderbolt, she closed her eyes, as though to brace herself for a nasty collision.

She heard a bang, but when she opened her eyes again, what came to her sight was that the kid had been pinned down by the bicycle while holding his knee in anguish.

Raeleigh looked blankly at the kid on the ground, who appeared to be in agonizing pain.

Raeleigh then gazed at Callis, who had blocked the bicycle with his body.

Raeleigh hurried to his side right away. His shirt was torn and there was a long laceration on his back. Blood oozed from the nasty wound.

"You're injured!"

Raeleigh hurried to help him get up but the kid on the ground also came to her mind. She was so busy helping them that she had no idea how she got home in the end.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, Xanthus greeted her with a look of irritation on his face.
