Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1671

"Would you like to have something to eat?" Hudson asked Raeleigh once they were seated in the restaurant. Raeleigh shook her head. "No, I've already eaten. You can go ahead if you haven't, though."

"No, I've eaten as well. I can't eat much now that I'm older. After all, it's bad for health to stuff yourself all the time."

Hudson sat opposite Raeleigh. As he spoke, he looked around the restaurant.

At this time, the restaurant was quiet.

Jepherson sat next to Raeleigh, obviously there to protect her.

His gaze was indifferent as he looked down at his feet. He seemed to be completely oblivious of everyone else's presence.

Hudson was not bothered by this. He knew his grandson well.

He was a vengeful person!

Their family hadn't handled the matter of Raeleigh leaving well, and Jepherson still refused to move home. He didn't even visit them during the holidays, preferring to just stay here.

If Hudson wanted Jepherson to go home, he would have to give him a direct order. Otherwise, they wouldn't see him at all.

Well, he didn't expect much anymore as long as everyone was healthy and fine.

"Let me apologise to you for yesterday. I wanted to come during the day, but I had to wait for Paige to fall asleep before leaving."

"Don't bear a grudge against her for my sake, please. You might be an outsider, but you're Jepherson's woman."

"You should know that he wouldn't exist without his grandmother."

"Don't just look at how badly she's treating you guys now. When you were children, she poured her heart and soul into caring for you."

"Every time you cried or fussed, she would be the one to coax and soothe you. It's just that she's become increasingly fearful of you abandoning her as the years have slipped by."

"All grandmothers wish for their grandchildren to come to them when they get into arguments with their mothers. They want to feel like they're the top priority."

"At the same time, this will also hurt their mothers."

"When you were children and got into fights or trouble, didn't your grandmother help you?"

"Why is that you're unable to think of your grandmother as a child when she acts unreasonably as she ages?"

Raeleigh had yet to say anything when Jepherson said, "I don't think that's the right way to handle this. When I was a child, I was immature and would cry and fuss. She's not an immature child, though. She's just selfish."

Jepherson looked upset. He didn't bear any ill will towards Hudson, but if it weren't for Hudson's indulgence, Paige wouldn't have ended up like this.

Hudson scoffed. "Don't forget that you'll grow old one day as well. Put yourself in her shoes and you'll realise what it feels like to be old and lonely."

"Is age an excuse to act willfully?" Jepherson looked at Hudson pointedly. Hudson picked up the box of serviettes on the table and threw it at Jepherson. "Get up."

Jepherson blinked but did not move.

"Get up." Hudson was a little upset as he looked at Jepherson coldly. Jepherson said, "It's true that I wouldn't exist without you. You can kill me, but you can't control me."

"Raeleigh isn't obligated to just grin and bear Grandma's humiliation either."

"Get up, right now!"

Raeleigh felt extremely helpless. She felt like she was being made out to be the cause of all this discord between a grandparent and grandchild.

"Why don't you head back first? I'll be up soon. Either that or you can wait for me outside."

Raeleigh tugged on Jepherson's hand. He didn't move, looking grim.

She said, "Get up, or I will."

They couldn't go on like this. Raeleigh was starting to feel sleepy.

Jepherson stood up furiously and turned to walk out of the restaurant. He took two steps, then turned and looked at Raeleigh. "Don't listen to him."

Raeleigh met his gaze but remained silent.

Jepherson turned and left, but he stood just outside the restaurant.

Hudson said, "I don't believe that Raeleigh would give birth to another person's child. You two have been together for so long. Is it possible that she would be with someone else?"

"If not, then who's the child's father?"

Jepherson moved slightly. "But we used protection."

"What nonsense. Accidents happen even with protection. Otherwise, why would we need hospitals for? And where would all those orphaned babies come from?"

...

Jepherson was stunned. Hudson said, "Raeleigh told me that the child is dead. Do you believe it?"

Jepherson frowned. "Raeleigh won't lie."

"What if it is to protect the child?"

Jepherson was speechless.

Protect the child?

Jepherson was a little hesitant. Hudson glanced at the hotel and said, "If the child is yours, it must still be alive."

"Raeleigh wouldn't show up so openly and guiltlessly by your side if something had happened to the child. Perhaps she wouldn't even show herself in front of you."

"The only thing she'd feel bad about was if the child's dead!"

Jepherson was finding it hard to wrap his mind around things. The child was his? It was alive?

Hudson checked the time and got into his car. How tiresome it was talking to such a grandson!

However, he still let out a sigh of relief. At least he hadn't wasted his time by coming, judging from Raeleigh's attitude.

If the child was really alive, it was undoubtedly a good thing.

It would be hard to get Raeleigh to change her mind, though. She was not easily persuaded.
