Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh got out of the car and fixed her eyes on the attackers in front of her. Someone inside one of the cars knocked on the door and another opened the door before inviting her into the car. Raeleigh walked over and saw that it was Flynt as expected.

After thinking for a while, she got into the car.

As the door closed, she looked at the person beside her. She did not say anything but kept thinking.

Flynt said, “You really don’t remember?”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

To Raeleigh’s silence, Flynt said, “I don’t believe it.”

She looked at him. “What happened to your hand?”

Flynt wore a pair of gloves, but his metal wrist was still exposed. Raeleigh saw it by chance when she lowered her head.

Flynt immediately said, “Jepherson did this.”

Then he took off the gloves, rolled up his sleeves, and showed half of his arm. Raeleigh thought for a long time before saying, “Is it a metal arm?”

“Does it creep you out?”

Flynt asked Raeleigh, but she did not answer. By the time she looked up at him, he smiled and said, “I thought I would never see you again. I didn’t expect that we would still have a chance to meet.”

Raeleigh looked at Flynt. “I have no recollection of you.”

“It’s okay. It’s just a matter of time.” Flynt used his hands to hold Raeleigh’s. She carefully pulled back her hands and stared at him without saying anything.

“Jepherson is not a good person. If he were a good person, he would not have hurt me like this, killed my grandfather’s family, harmed my mother and my two sisters.”

Flynt kept talking along the way. Raeleigh looked out of the car from time to time. It seemed that she was really in trouble this time. They were already out of Capital City, yet Jepherson still wasn’t here.

His droning on had tired her ears, and she said, “Look, can we take five? The more I hear, the more confused I am. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t get why you two are fighting. What kind of bad blood is there between the two of you?”

“Because I like you, but Jepherson did not allow us to be together. One thing led to another, and we became what we are now. I was injured, he took you away from me, and you forgot who I am.”

“Raeleigh…”

Flynt raised his hand to touch her face, trying to kiss her affectionately, but she turned away to avoid him.

Raeleigh said, “I don’t believe you. This is not how Jepherson explained it.”

Flynt said, “Even if you don’t believe me now, you will, one day. By then…”

He moved his hand away. Raeleigh sat there feeling frantic. What did Flynt mean? Was he going to imprison her as Jepherson had done?

Jepherson had already made a mistake once. Would he repeat it this time?

Raeleigh looked at Flynt. “Will you hurt me?”

Staring at Raeleigh’s innocent eyes, Flynt’s heart softened. He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms.

“No, I won’t hurt you. You just don’t remember me. I’ll make you remember, a better me than before.”

A trace of cunning flickered in Flynt’s eyes when he spoke, and then he let Raeleigh go.

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on him and said, “Can you let me go? I want to go home.”

“Go home? Where are you going?” Flynt asked tentatively. Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, “I was in Waverly Village when I woke up. I’m probably from there.”

Flynt frowned. “Is there anyone called Xanthus with you?”

Raeleigh thought for a while and shook her head. “I don’t know. When I woke up, I didn’t see anyone else except Jepherson.”

Flynt laughed. “That’s right, that’s how he got you to believe him. If you didn’t see him as soon as you opened your eyes, would you have believed everything he said?”

Raeleigh did not answer, but asked, “Who is Xanthus?”

Flynt thought and said, “Your brother. He’s a famous orthopaedic surgeon and we had an agreement to work together.”

“However, before we could meet, you suddenly disappeared, so I kept looking for you, and I never found you.

“Until this time.”

Raeleigh asked, “I have a brother?”

“That’s right, you have an older brother. Before meeting you, Jepherson was already engaged to a woman called Stella Doyle. When he met you, that pervert paralysed Stella so that he could get his hands on you.”

“However, the Doyle family is very powerful and he didn’t manage to get rid of Stella even with that. After that, he killed her and fed her to the dogs.”

Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. “What did you say? He fed her to the dogs? Aren’t we talking about a human here?”

“Yes, a human.”

“Fed to the dogs how?”

“He just did.”

Flynt insisted on this and Raeleigh fixed her eyes on him. After a long time, she asked, “What happened to Xanthus?”

Flynt thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know how your brother is, but the both of you did disappear when I looked. I only found you now.”

Raeleigh felt that Flynt was truly cunning. She thought that she knew him well enough, but Flynt’s character was so terrible that it made her sick.

The car was circling in a direction. If Raeleigh remembered correctly, the car was heading for the Moore family’s countryside mansion.

Soon, Raeleigh arrived at Flynt’s place in the countryside. She got out of the car and followed him. He brought her to his small yard in the countryside and asked all the people to leave while he talked to her.

Because it was the countryside, the air was fresh and the scenery was pleasant. Flynt occasionally came to unwind himself, so this place was very clean and organized.

Raeleigh stood in the courtyard and stared blankly at an apple tree in the corner.

…

Flynt said, “It’s still young now. Give it a few more weeks and you’ll see a fully blossomed apple tree.”

Raeleigh took a look at Flynt, who was standing beside her, and then looked at the tree. She said, “I also think that it will look good if you can take good care of it. But that tree looks like no one has been trimming it.”

“You’re right.”

Flynt wrapped an arm around her. She took a look at him but said nothing. Her eyes settled on him while he wore a smile on his face. “Raeleigh, you’re still the same as before.”

Raeleigh did not answer. Instead, she turned around and looked at the apple tree in the corner, thinking of another person.

As she said, the tree growing was like the current Flynt. With a little care, a little trimming and pruning, it could have grown into a better tree and less diseased. But it was neglected and left to fend for itself, just like the wayward Flynt.

At the moment, it didn’t look any different than a normal tree, but once winter came and all its leaves fell, its ugly appearance would be out in the open.

That presaged Flynt’s most hideous moment.

Raeleigh stood still, while Flynt kept holding her. Flynt had to admit that Raeleigh’s charm had increased after three years, which made him even more helplessly attracted to her.

All the longing he’d felt over the years overwhelmed him.

Flynt felt like his heart had been possessed by black magic. All he could think of was imprisoning Raeleigh with him for the rest of her life.
