Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 859

"Aren't there two rooms?" Raeleigh asked him, standing by the bed, when she saw that Jepherson had no intention of leaving at all.

"The weather seems downcast. The orphanage is located in a cold, damp place with thick trees surrounding it. It may be cold when we sleep at night. I'm not used to it," Jepherson said. He then sat on the bed. He took off his shoes and lay on the bed without taking off his clothes.

Raeleigh didn't understand. Jepherson's response didn't answer her question. She said there were two rooms. He said that he couldn't sleep well, and he would feel cold at night.

"If you're really cold, then you can cover yourself with more blankets. It's still summer, so it's not going to be all that cold."

"There are rats here," Jepherson added.

"I'm not afraid of rats."

"I'm scared!" Jepherson looked at Raeleigh. He spoke carelessly. It didn't sound like he was afraid, but his eyes were focused and serious.

Raeleigh was speechless for a moment.

Was there a man who was afraid of rats?

He had said it in such a frank tone.

"If you want company, then get Stuart to come in here."

"Do you think that is appropriate?" Jepherson asked. Raeleigh was left speechless by his question.

So, it was inappropriate for Stuart to sleep with him in the same room but not her?

Thinking of this, there were only the two of them. Raeleigh also knew that it was going to be impossible to refuse Jepherson. Since he had brought her here, it meant that he would have a way to make her give in finally.

Raeleigh hesitated for a moment and went to the bathroom. After she came out, she went to get some rest.

"We must set a boundary. Nobody is allowed to touch the other person," Raeleigh said and lay down. They were both dressed. It was not like they had never been alone, so there shouldn't be a problem.

Jepherson closed his eyes and didn't say anything. Raeleigh regarded it as a tacit agreement.

After turning off the lights, the floor was bathed in the moonlight. Raeleigh did not cover herself with the quilt, so Jepherson did it for her instead and she felt tensed all over her body. Though she knew that he wouldn't do anything, she was still nervous.

"Do you have any sports that you like in particular?" With his eyes closed, Jepherson asked in a soft voice. Raeleigh didn't relax until she thought that he was about to fall asleep.

"I neither have any sports that I like, nor do I like exercising." Raeleigh did not lie. She was telling the truth.

"I like sports."

Raeleigh glanced at Jepherson. She didn't ask, so why did he offer an answer?

"I have many interests, like running, basketball, swimming, and so on." Raeleigh did not ask, but Jepherson once again volunteered this personal information.

...

At first, Raeleigh couldn't fall asleep, but she became sleepy as she listened. It was not because she wasn't interested in it, but because she didn't want to hear it.

Raeleigh intended to close her eyes and listen, but then she fell asleep.

In the morning, a Rhys of sunshine woke Raeleigh up. She did not know if she had slept in too late or if it was too warm. When she was fully awake, it was already past six o'clock.

Opening her eyes, Raeleigh froze.

Even if they could get on a plane, it would take time for the plane to reach the desNorahtion, and from the airport, they needed time to commute to the university as well. Calculating all these factors in, by the time they got back, it would already be dark.

But the car had closed circulation system, and there were four people in the car then. If they continued on just waiting about here, then there would soon be a lack of oxygen in the car.

Raeleigh looked outside the car. It was raining heavily, so they could barely see anything outside, let alone get out of the car.

"Let's see how the weather is." Jepherson glanced at the time. He still did not want to break his promise.

He hoped that she knew that he was not a person who did not keep to his promises.

Stuart took a look at the weather on the flat screen display and turned to look at Jepherson. "We may not be able to go back today. The rainfall today is estimated at an average of more than 80 millimeters."

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Stuart. She thought to herself, "There lies the difference in classy goods. They possessed all sorts of detailed information such as this."

"Let's go to the hotel." Jepherson knew that it was impossible for the rain to stop so soon. Since it would not stop, then they might as well not waste any more time.

The driver took a look outside and made sure that he could drive away. Then, he started the car and drove to the front.

Not long after, the car stopped at the entrance of a hotel. The man got out of the car and went out in the rain. He took out the raincoats and opened the door to ask Jepherson to get off.

Stuart had thoughtfully prepared two umbrellas, one which he used for himself, and the other he used to cover Jepherson. Before getting out of the car, Jepherson had already taken off his outer coat. He took the umbrella and Stuart stepped aside, continuing to shield him. Jepherson bent over and looked into the car where Raeleigh was still seated. Raeleigh on the other hand, had clutched the book tightly to her chest. She didn't mind getting drenched, but she was worried about the book getting wet.

Stuart didn't know what to say. He was willing to hold the umbrella and shield Jepherson because he was employed to serve and watch after Jepherson. Jepherson was willing to give his umbrella to Raeleigh because he cared for her and loved her. But Raeleigh, she only cared about the book. Stuart pitied Jepherson because the girl he had been pursuing for such a long time remained unmoved.

Even if her heart was made of stone, shouldn't it have been melted or even warmed up by then? How was it that her icy heart could not turn mellow?
