Getting My Ex-wife Back

At the Moore Family.

“Still no news?”

“No.”

Flynt’s face darkened. “What does this mean?”

“They refuse to say. Our people have been suspended one after another for the past two days. They probably received some inside information.”

“Where is Jacky?”

“He’s at Waverly Village, where Raeleigh is.”

Flynt’s hands clenched into fists. “Jepherson, if you want to provoke me, it won’t be that easy.

Announce immediately that our Moore family will suppress these people and punish them severely. No matter who they are, if they dare to sell drugs, they will not be tolerated.”

“But they’re looking into us as well, what should we do?”

“Even if they found something, there’s no issue. Just find these two people and bring their child here.”

Flynt put a photo onto the table. The other individual looked down, picked up the photo, then put it away and turned to start his search.

Two days later.

Raeleigh had just gotten up when the mute knocked on her door. When she came downstairs, he was looking out the window while two people sat in the living room. The moment they saw Raeleigh, they both stood up simultaneously.

“You are the only one who can help us this time.” Louisa said in desperation when Raeleigh came into view.

Tears rolled down her face while she spoke.

“What’s wrong?” Raeleigh asked as she rushed towards her. Louisa grasped onto Raeleigh’s hands and went down on her knees. Raeleigh quickly held her up before they could touch the ground. “Don’t be like this. Just say what you want to say.”

“Raeleigh… I know you didn’t really have amnesia. We didn’t want to disturb you at first, but we can’t think of another way. Can you please save Essie?”

“Essie?”

Raeleigh felt a little baffled.

“She’s our daughter and Flynt kidnapped her. She’s still so young. What should we do?”

Louisa cried so hard, she’s seconds away from fainting. “It’s been two days. They’ve sent over our child’s pinkie finger and I almost died from seeing it. If I had a solution, I wouldn’t have come to you. I beg you, Raeleigh.”

“Then what can I do?”

Raeleigh looked at Louisa and felt troubled.

Flynt had done terrible things for sure, but to commit something so utterly offensive to heaven and reason, at this rate, his demise wouldn’t be too far away.

“Flynt told us that as long as Jepherson could let this matter go, he would let the child go, but…” Louisa sobbed.

“But what?”

“But he wants us to take the blame.”

“He wants you to be the scapegoat?”

Raeleigh loosened her hold and sat down. Louisa turned to her, “Raeleigh, for the sake of our past relationship, please help me. I can’t live without Essie.”

Raeleigh sat there in thought. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you. But if I go to find Jepherson…”

Raeleigh lowered her head to look at her hands. What should she do?

“But …”

Louisa shuffled up to Raeleigh who pondered for a little while more before she decided, “I will go find Flynt.”

Raeleigh stood up but the mute was already in front of her. Raeleigh lifted her head and said reassuringly, “I will be fine.”

He shook his head.  “Just trust me on this.” she pleaded.

He shook his head again. Raeleigh had no choice but to sit back down.

Louisa stood to one side, her face swollen from crying. Colston spoke up then, “If you can help save the child, we’re willing to listen to anything you say.”

Raeleigh looked his way. “I’m not that kind of person, but I can’t see Jepherson. He and I have already broken up.”

Raeleigh furrowed her brows deeply. After a long time, she asked the mute, “Are you afraid that something will happen to me?”

He nodded his head and Raeleigh explained, “Flynt won’t let me die. He will use me to threaten Jepherson, but if I could just get the child out, it will be fine.”

He shook his head frantically. “Then help me get my phone from upstairs. I’ll wait for you. We’ll go and find Jacky together.” she tried.

The mute stood in front of her and refused to budge.

“I’ll do it then.” she eventually said in resignation.

Raeleigh got up and went upstairs to get her phone. Once there, she made a call.

He had followed her upstairs and she laughed, “Are you afraid that I will run away?”

He stared at Raeleigh emotionlessly. Raeleigh sat on the windowsill as she waited for the call to connect

It took a long time before the call got through and someone answered the phone. Raeleigh said, “Please help me, in order to find someone to act as a scapegoat, Flynt has kidnapped Colston’s child. Can you think of ways to help me rescue that child?”

The mute entered the room and sat down across from her. Raeleigh tilted her body sideways towards him. He pulled on her once and she moved the phone away from her mouth, “I know.”

After she hung up, Raeleigh looked at him. “Don’t worry. Even if I don’t go, the child will be safe. Help me tell Louisa and Colston that their child will be returned to them within two days.”

He gazed at Raeleigh and did not leave immediately.

Raeleigh waited for quite some time but still the mute did not move from his seat. In the end, she had to get up herself and tell Louisa and Colston the news about their child.

Louisa had quieted down considerably at this time and regained her composure.

When she heard what Raeleigh had said, she rubbed her eyes and looked at her in gratefulness. “Thank you.”

“We’re the ones who got you involved. If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t have found you.” Raeleigh poured some water for Louisa and put it in front of her. Colston was very grim, as if he didn’t know how to continue to face this matter.

Louisa replied monotonously, “Flynt has been looking for us for two days. We’ve turned this issue around with our own strengths but our child is still kept away from us. With Flynt’s threat looming over us, if we don’t calm the situation down, he will throw our child into the sea. We have no other choice. Just that morning, we received a pinkie finger from him.

Essie’s little pinkie…”

Louisa covered her face with her hands and burst out into tears.

Raeleigh pushed the water towards her. “Don’t worry. The child will be fine. He has never failed.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Raeleigh believed that Austin would definitely be able to save Essie.

When the mute came downstairs, Raeleigh raised her head and glanced at his poor complexion.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you hungry since you didn’t eat anything?”

Without a single response from him, Raeleigh really thought that he was hungry. She went into the kitchen to cook some noodles for him,  together with Colston’s and Louisa’s portion as well.

Raeleigh then brought out the bowls of noodles one by one. However, only Louisa and Colston were in the living room. Puzzled by this, Raeleigh asked them, “Where is the mute?”

Colston stood up from his seat and told her, “He left when you were in the kitchen. He must have gone to look for Jacky.”

Raeleigh immediately called Jacky but he said that he saw no sign of him.

“Maybe he hasn’t arrived yet. He just went out.”

Raeleigh went out of the house and looked for him outside. But he was nowhere to be found. Instead, when she went to the entrance of the village, she saw Jepherson getting out of the car.

When he saw Raeleigh, he quickly said, “I need to go back for a bit. Something came up.”

Raeleigh said nothing. She just waited for Jepherson to leave far out of her sight, before she turned to go back.

Coincidentally, she bumped into her neighbour who, upon seeing her, said, “Raeleigh, I saw the mute. He told me that his brother came back today and he went out to pick him up.”

“At the station?”

“I’m not sure.”

The neighbour left soon after he passed the message. Raeleigh turned towards the village’s entrance with a contemplative look.

How did he know that his brother would be back?
