Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1718

Sitting on the bed, Raeleigh stared in disbelief as Callis peeled the synthetic skin away little by little.

Raeleigh wasn't oblivious to how advanced technology had gotten, but she didn't think it was advanced enough to turn one person into another.

Her face paled as she witnessed Callis turning into Jepherson and being presented a translucent sheet.

Jepherson then slowly raised his head and pressed one hand down on his hair while combing through it with the other, dusting out some white and black powder-like stuff.

Just like that, Callis turned into Jepherson Harvey.

Gobsmacked, Raeleigh said, "You're not Jepherson."

Jepherson chewed his teeth, sat down next to her, and stared at her face as he asked, "Where's my daughter?"

Raeleigh pressed her lips. "She's not your daughter, but Austin's."

"Please let me see her."

Jepherson held her good hand, pleading as he had never before.

Raeleigh tried to yank her hand back but failed.

Relaxing, Jepherson let go and caressed her face and lips. Raeleigh frowned deeply, her head all a mess. Baffled at what had just happened, she only wanted to leave, holding his hand on her face, mumbling, "You're giving me a headache."

Jepherson lowered his head and kissed her. With his low, husky voice, he whispered in Raeleigh's ear, "I want to get inside you."

Stumped, Raeleigh tried to leave, but she didn't dare to move with one injured hand, staring at Jepherson's face in shock.

"You've gone too far, Jepherson. You- mm..."

Before she could finish her words, her voice was muffled under the attack of his lips. Before she could react, her brain had turned into mush.

...

Raeleigh woke up with only a piece of clothing covering her body. As she had lit the stove earlier, she didn't feel cold.

Raeleigh sat up from the bed and stared at Jepherson, who was wearing only a white dress shirt. He was looking at his phone, and sensing she was awake, he said nothing but continued to scroll through his phone, reading something.

Wrapping herself with the piece of clothing, she sat staring at Jepherson for a long time before she said, "That isn't her in the photo."

"You would never lie, and you would never have deigned to lie. But you're spinning lies out of your lips like it's nothing now."

Jepherson kept his phone away and stood up, heading outside while Raeleigh continued to stay in bed. He then returned with a thick coat and swaddled her before he put the fire out and left carrying her in his arms.

On their way back, Raeleigh stared at Jepherson and asked, "So you lied to me from the beginning?"

"So did you," Jepherson said as he walked.

His voice was so light that Raeleigh couldn't tell what he was thinking, or whether he was angry.

Entering the main part of the manor, he took her straight into her room and placed her on the bed before he went back to close the door. He then went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of water to soak her hands in it. Raeleigh looked at him and said, "I don't have a child."

Jepherson looked down at her hands in the water and caressed them, saying, "You don't need to deny it. But I'll believe you if you can tell me where you have gone these last few times you ditched me."

"I'll take you there tomorrow."

When they arrived outside the company, Raeleigh took a glance at the building before escorting him inside. Though the scale wasn't as large as his, it had reached the peak of a meteoric rise for a rising star.

Inside, Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "Are you telling me you've been living in your company for a month?"

"Not here. I was on a business trip for a month." Raeleigh came dressed in a professional suit, grabbing everyone's attention as soon as she stepped in.

"President Raeleigh..."

"President..."

Everyone greeted Raeleigh and was surprised to see Jepherson. They assumed he was the new director or a legal advisor.

He had a look straight out of the "Sexiest Man Alive" cover.

Raeleigh took Jepherson to her office upstairs. After entering, she sat down and made a call to arrange for a meeting before she told him to make himself comfortable.

Someone knocked on the door, and Raeleigh asked them to come in only to be greeted with piles of documents.

She had to look through all of them.

Jepherson stood up, took off his jacket, and chucked it aside. He then pulled a chair and sat down next to her to read through the documents before signing them.

He didn't sign with his name but Raeleigh's.

Raeleigh said to him, "I have this much work waiting for me since I haven't been able to return to my office in the last half a year. This is only ten days' worth. How long do you think it will take me to look through it all? Is a month enough?"

Keeping his eyes on the papers, Jepherson said, looking calm. "I still don't believe you, but since you're so stressed over it, leave it to me. What do you say?"
