Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 972

"Santiago, what's the story with you and Miss Anson?" Paige asked as she sat on the big couch in the living room. Her expression was cold.

It was obvious that she was not happy with Raeleigh.

She had not invited Raeleigh to sit with them. Raeleigh stood next to Santiago. He was sitting on the couch as he gently stroked Raeleigh's hands. He briefly swept his eyes across the entire room and realized that everyone seemed nervous. The servants had no idea what was going on. They were only aware that Santiago had a crush on someone else's girlfriend.

And at that time, he was so full of pride that he brought Raeleigh back.

Raeleigh stood still. She looked as if she had been bullied. She knew that Santiago had his own tricks, and all she needed to do was to play along with him.

Santiago pretended as if he did not hear Paige's question. It took him a long time before he turned to look at Paige. He said, "I thought I just told you. I like Raeleigh. I want to marry her."

"Nonsense!" Paige slammed the table in anger. The people in the house were so scared that they neither dared to speak nor make a sound.

Santiago laughed and asked, "What? Do you think I'm joking?"

"How old are you? Jepherson isn't married and yet you're already thinking about getting married?" Paige was furious. She found it ridiculous that he actually brought a girl home and told her that he wanted to marry her. What was he thinking?

If it were someone else, then she would have let it go. However, this was Raeleigh they were talking about. She was the person who made Deanna run away.

Anger coursed through Paige's veins.

"If Jepherson won't get married, then does mean that I can't either? What does it have to do with me if he doesn't want to fight for love?" Santiago's face was full of displeasure. He was unhappy.

Paige's face turned pale. She then said, "You're only in your teens. Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, Deanna is missing now. Aren't you worried about her?"

"Deanna is Jepherson's future wife, not mine. She has nothing to do with me. The person I want to protect is Raeleigh. She will be my future wife. I can't neglect Raeleigh's feelings just because of our family's relationship with the Atkinson family."

"Raeleigh put her cell phone aside while we were in a conversation. Deanna caught sight of our conversation. Then, she took Raeleigh's phone away to peek at our messages. After that, she even threw Raeleigh's phone away. I don't understand. What right does Deanna have to do that? Does she want to be my wife and not Jepherson's?"

Paige was stunned. "What did you say?"

"I said, Deanna chose not to sleep that night and tried to peek at Raeleigh's and my text exchanges. After she read the conversation, she threw away Raeleigh's phone and ran out of the room. What does all of these have to do with Raeleigh?"

"You cannot blame this on Raeleigh just because Deanna is from the Atkinson family."

"Deanna is human, but so is Raeleigh."

Paige quietened down and was a little confused.

She looked at her grandson, Santiago, and then at Raeleigh. "Raeleigh, is he telling the truth?"

Raeleigh did not answer immediately. Santiago then said, "Give me your phone."

Raeleigh did not want to give him at first. However, she eventually took out her phone and handed it to him. He opened their conversation and showed it to Paige, "This is her inbox. Have a look."

Paige opened it and realized that there was only one conversation in the inbox. It had the name Harvey.

Paige frowned and asked, "Deanna has misunderstood the whole thing, hasn't she?"

"I don't think my family has spoiled me, but I know there are a lot of people who look down on me." Santiago was full of defiance. Paige sneered. "Let me tell you this, if you want to have a casual fling with this girl, then it's fine. I will not say anything, but I will not allow you to marry this girl. You should give up before it's too late."

After saying that, she turned around and left. Santiago held Raeleigh's hand tightly.

Raeleigh felt sorry for Santiago. He was also part of the Harvey family and shared the same mother as Jepherson, yet he was treated badly.

It was not a surprised that Santiago had received such a treatment from his family.

"Let's go." Santiago held Raeleigh's hand and left quickly. He did not care about what Paige had said.

Santiago went to the garage after exiting the manor. He opened the garage door and stood there for a while. Then, he drove Jepherson's favorite car out of the garage.

Raeleigh got into the car and Santiago made his way out of the manor. However, he was stopped by Lennox at the door.

"Mr. Santiago, you cannot drive this car. This is Mr. Jepherson's car. Furthermore, you don't even have a driver's license yet. If you get caught..."

"Scram!" Santiago spat. Lennox shuddered in fear. Santiago then stepped on the accelerator and the car roared to life. Lennox did not dare to stop him. Santiago was like a wild horse that had left its reins. No one dared to provoke him.

Lennox then quickly got out of the way as Santiago drove out of Harvey Manor.

When the car finally stopped, Raeleigh turned to look at Santiago. He then got out of the car and went into a nearby convenience store to buy a bag of chips and a packet of cigarettes. He tossed the bag of chips to Raeleigh as soon as he got into the car. Then, he lowered his head and took out a cigarette before lighting it up and putting it in his mouth. He took a drag and leaned back on the chair. He rested his hand, that was holding the cigarette, on the door and held the steering wheel with the other.

The street lamps were brilliant and dazzling. The soft glow enhanced his handsome face. However, it could not be compared to his current state of loneliness.
