Getting My Ex-wife Back

When Xanthus got up in the morning, Maverly had already arrived. She came alone and had brought breakfast for them.

Xanthus’s mood inexplicably became much better when he noticed Heston didn’t come.

Shooting a glance at Maverly, he went to wash up. By the time he was finished, Maverly and Jacian were already eating.

He had an operation in the morning, so he left hastily after taking a few bites.

In the afternoon, Xanthus came down from his office and went to check on Jacian, only to find Heston in the ward. Heston had brought toys for Jacian. Xanthus stopped outside the ward and stared inside for a while before returning to his office.

Later, when he got off work in the evening, Xanthus went straight back to his home. When he arrived at the door, he received a call from Jeremy. Jeremy asked him out for a drink.

Xanthus had been in a bad mood before because of Cynthia’s matter, so he invited Jeremy to go out for a drink. However, he was no longer in the mood for that. Besides, he avoided him because of Maverly.

Upon noticing Xanthus’s tone, Jeremy took the hint and did not force him to go with him.

However, Xanthus was forced to attend his hospital’s gathering that weekend, where Maverly showed up together with Jeremy.

“Come say hi to Mr. Xanthus!”

Jeremy beckoned at Maverly, summoning her over. Then, draping one arm across Xanthus’s shoulder, he hugged her with his other arm.

Maverly acted as if nothing had happened between her and Xanthus as she smiled at him and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Xanthus.”

Xanthus did not answer. He would have answered her in the past, but now…

“Xanthus, isn’t my daughter beautiful? Doesn’t she look just like me?”

Jeremy tightened his grip on Xanthus’s shoulder and asked, then led him away.

When Maverly left to chat with the others, Xanthus went to sit down in a corner.

“I’m leaving tonight, Xanthus. I’m going to Africa. You know, my family has always been interested in the mines in Africa. But now that I’m leaving, I’m worried about leaving my precious daughter alone here. Would you mind taking Maverly to your home and asking Raeleigh to help take care of her for me?”

Xanthus stifled a laugh and glanced at Jeremy. “Stop joking. It’s not appropriate for me to take care of your daughter! How could you trust me so much?”

Although Xanthus was only joking, he instinctively glanced toward Maverly as he spoke. At that moment, a few young adults in their early twenties surrounded Maverly. Everyone loved being near Maverly. She was unrestrained and easy-going.

Maverly was born with a natural charm and people around her always couldn’t help but approach her.

“I don’t trust anyone else but you. I know you well. You don’t drink nor flirt with women, so I can rest assured that Maverly will be safe under your care. Maverly is an obedient child, so please take care of her for me.”

Xanthus refused Jeremy’s request multiple times, but Jeremy insisted. Finally, Xanthus gave in and agreed to help him. Feeling satisfied, Jeremy took Maverly home early shortly after their conversation.

Xanthus drove back home that night and when he arrived home, Jeremy and Waverly were waiting for him at the door.

Sticking his head out of the window, he took a look outside and confirmed that it was Maverly’s car behind the two figures.

He got out of the car after a while, pushing the door open and staring at the two of them. Then, he noticed the piece of luggage behind Maverly.

“Didn’t I tell you that this…”

“My flight is ten o’clock, so there’s only an hour left. You don’t have to send me off. Take Maverly inside. For the past few days, those boys in her school have been looking for excuses to visit her in her villa and I can’t stop worrying about her. My daughter is the most precious thing to me. What do I do if something really happens to her?

She is still an innocent child.”

Jeremy was not even forty years old. He had gotten married early and had Maverly when he was still young. Therefore, his love for Maverly exceeded his regard for his own life. He was watching over her.

“Dad…” Maverly was a little embarrassed.

Jeremy glanced at her. “Don’t argue with me. I think that you are too young to know how things work. I’m not satisfied with any of those boys. Once I find the perfect guy, I will introduce him to you. You hear me?”

“I’m the one dating the boys, not you.”

Maverly was not convinced. Jeremy glanced at her and said, “Stop arguing.”

She pursed her lips. “But you and Mom…”

“That’s different. We live in different times. Your mother and I fell in love at the same age as others did. It’s different now.”

Jeremy struggled to explain. Xanthus didn’t want to hear the two of them bickering anymore, so he quickly said, “You two should leave. I…”

“I’m leaving. I’m leaving.”

When Jeremy heard that Xanthus was about to chase the two of them away, he immediately returned to his car and drove away quickly.

“It’s all Dad’s wishful thinking. Sorry for causing you trouble, Dr. Osteen. I’ll leave now. I promise I won’t let Dad know.”

Maverly said and turned to leave. Xanthus stopped her, “It’s late. It will take an hour for you to get to the downtown area. How are you going to walk there?”

She looked back at him. “I’ll call someone to pick me up.”

When Raeleigh came out of the house, she spotted the two of them at the door.

“Xanthus, is that your friend?” she walked toward them and asked. Maverly stood on the opposite side and explained, “Dr. Osteen and my father are friends. They ran a hospital together. My father is travelling abroad and he is worried about me. So he entrusted me to Dr. Osteen.”

Raeleigh glanced at Xanthus. “Since he already said so, why are you leaving?”

“I don’t want to disturb the both of you. My father entrusted me to Dr. Osteen, but as you can see, I am a grown woman and I can take care of myself.”

Maverly stood unmoving in the distance. Raeleigh looked at Xanthus and said, “Xanthus, Miss White saved me before. Now we should help her.”

Xanthus glanced at Maverly and said, “Come in. I’ll call your father.”

Turning around, he went back to his car, started the engine, then drove the car into the house. Raeleigh waited for Maverly as she carried her luggage, then led her into the house.

Although the White family was well-off, it was Maverly’s first time seeing such a beautiful manor. The house looked even more incredible at nighttime.

She followed Raeleigh into the manor as she introduced the place to her. More than half an hour had passed by the time they reached inside the house.

Standing in front of the classical building, Maverly exclaimed in admiration, “What a beautiful house. It’s gourgeous.”

“Let’s go in and have a look.”

Raeleigh took her into a room upstairs.

Just like that, Maverly moved in to the Osteen family’s mansion.
