Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1715

Rhys turned to look at his retreating daughter, filled with mixed emotions. She was slowly acting more like a grown-up, but he truly wished she could stay a child forever.

She had become wiser. How surprising!

Dinner was ready when Jacky returned. He came in carrying a briefcase containing confidential documents, which he placed on the console table out in the open. Despite how the Atkinson family treated him, he had never guarded against them.

"Dad."

He greeted Rhys as soon as he entered, but Rhys never acknowledged the address; he would never acknowledge it as long as they weren't married, which Rhys would never agree to. He continued watching the television and only spared Jacky a glance.

The twins looked over at Rhys; they didn't know what was going on, but Jacky didn't care. He went to hug his sons and kiss them, "Did you two behave today?"

"Yes, Daddy."

"Good, let's take a shower, hmm?"

Jacky put his sons down and headed upstairs, the twins following right behind. Whenever Jacky was around, they would cling to him unless he told them to accompany their grandfather or someone else. This was a bond people would be jealous of.

Rhys turned to look at the three; it was a scene beyond the outsider's imagination.

Now that Rhys was alone, he reached for one of the magazines. Crevor was on the cover; thirty, young and promising, and the current head of the Doyle family.

After a quick scan, Rhys chucked it back on the table.

Coincidentally, Lottie returned to the living room to gather everyone for dinner. Odd that she couldn't find Jacky, she went to Rhys and asked.

As Rhys said he went to take a shower, Lottie caught a glimpse of the magazine. She picked it up, and an upsetting look showed on her face seeing Crevor on the cover.

Chucking the magazine back on the table, she harrumphed, "How horrible of the Doyle family. How can they take advantage of the fact that Jacky had just entered the office and know he can't lay his hands on them to attack him?

As annoyance rose within Rhys, Zorion and Rossie entered the house.

Lottie treated Rossie even better than Deanna now, even if Rossie wouldn't bring up her marriage with Zorion.

Rhys had originally wanted Rossie to apologize to Paige for the hotel incident. However, Rossie stood her ground and refused to apologize when Marrisa was in the wrong.

And Rhys couldn't lose his temper with her as she was only his future daughter-in-law after all.

Lottie sided with Rossie and went to apologize on her behalf, but Paige refused to see her.

So Lottie gave up just like that. "Since you don't want me to apologize, so be it. Save me the trouble."

"Have you two had dinner?"

"Not yet."

"Then wash your hands and sit down with us."

Lottie then took Rossie away, leaving only Zorion. Judging by his father's expression, he knew something was up.

They headed to Rhys's study and sat across from each other. Rhys threw the magazine to Zorion and asked, "What's going on?"

Zorion took a look and said, "The Doyle family have already acquired most of the Cole family's businesses. Crevor isn't an easy person to deal with either. I don't know if this is his doing, but he doesn't deny it. From the looks of it, his purpose of coming to Capital City is probably to challenge the Cole family and replace them."

"He's going to take down the Cole family?"

Everyone was seated at the table and ready for dinner when Jacky brought the twins down.

While eating, Deanna said, "I want to get married."

Everyone stopped eating and looked at her; even Jacky was somewhat surprised.

As usual, it was a no from Rhys. He took a gander at his daughter and said, "Eat your dinner."

With that, he continued to eat.

Deanna said, "Give me back my household register booklet."

"Eat if you want; leave if you don't." Rhys kept his eyes on his plate and put a few pieces of meat on the twin's plate. They ate instantly and waited for more.

Rhys gave them more meat and continued eating. Still unwilling to give up, Deanna insisted, but Rhys had finished his meal and left the table, leaving Deanna with nothing to say.

...

Raeleigh finally returned after a month, and the weather had gotten much colder. The stitches on her hand had been removed, but she still kept her gloves on lest the weather did some serious damage.

Dressed as Callis, Jepherson stood waiting at the gates as if he knew Raeleigh would return that day. Exiting the car, Raeleigh walked to Callis, looking at him, and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

Callis did not answer her as usual and only caressed her face. She wore quite a few layers, looking snug. He pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to say something. Raeleigh smiled at him. "Are you worried about me?"

Callis took a glance over his shoulder at Xanthus, who had come out, then bent down to take her luggage with one hand and her wrist with the other. As they headed into the house, Xanthus stopped them.

Blocking their way, Xanthus said, "I like you when you don't talk."
