Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh didn’t fall asleep until the morning. Jepherson tossed and turned the whole night, unable to sleep which kept her up as well.

As a result, the two of them didn’t get up from bed until late that afternoon.

Stuart had waited outside since early that very morning. When the servants came over, Stuart waved his hand and motioned for them to leave lest they disturbed Mr. Jepherson from his repose inside.

In fact, Stuart was out at about five to six o’clock in the morning. As soon as he came over, he heard the sound of panting inside. Mr. Jepherson was really full of energy. He didn’t dare to approach, hence he stood guard outside.

All the way until the present time, Stuart didn’t dare to leave his post.

Only when it was two o’clock in the afternoon, Raeleigh woke up. Probably due to the jet lag, she was still a little groggy. She was just able to blink her eyes open, took a look around before she fell back to sleep.

Jepherson waited for Raeleigh to fall into a deep sleep before he got out of bed. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth before he walked out the door.

“Mr. Richards.”

Stuart immediately walked towards Jepherson when he saw him.

“When did you get here?”

“This morning.”

“You don’t have to get up to accompany me in the morning in the future. You just got married. You should get up later when you’re newly-weds.”

Jepherson put on his clothes and went to the side room. He took something and came out to explain something to Stuart. Then he went back to Raeleigh’s side.

Raeleigh did not wake up at all in the evening and continued to sleep for one more night. Since Jepherson wasn’t there as he was out, by the time Raeleigh woke up, it was eight o’clock in the morning. After she freshened herself up and changed her clothes, her breakfast was ready, which was all prepared according to Jepherson’s instructions.

Raeleigh had her breakfast with Lucy Wagner.

While they ate, Raeleigh noticed Lucy Wagner’s washed-out face and asked her, “Are you pregnant?”

Lucy Wagner looked up at her. “I am indeed pregnant. Stuart wouldn’t let me work. I can only manage the Richards family here or occasionally go back to my parents’ place.

In the past, my family didn’t have much money and the house was small. Now it has become bigger, and with all my relatives coming to visit, I don’t want to go back.”

“Congratulations.”

Raeleigh gave a smile. Then Lucy whined out, “I don’t know how it could be so severe. No matter what I eat, I’ll puke it back out. I only felt a bit better when I ate light, clear foods.”

The two of them chatted and soon the whole of that morning had passed, but Jepherson had yet to return.

Raeleigh asked Lucy whether she knew his whereabouts and she shook her head. She then asked Stuart who did know and informed her that he went grocery shopping.

“He hasn’t come back after so long. The food he bought must be very delicious.”

Raeleigh didn’t take it seriously when she made that joke. However, when she was out on the grounds with Lucy, she heard that a guest had arrived at the Richards family gates.

Both Jepherson and Stuart weren’t around. The servant had to hurry to find Raeleigh instead.

Raeleigh then asked the servant in curiosity as to the identity of their guest. The servant replied, “No, he didn’t say who he is. He just said he is from the Doyle family. He is looking for Mr. Jepherson.”

“Tell him that Mr. Jepherson is not at home. Tell him that if there are matters to discuss, to come back after Mr. Jepherson has returned.”

The maid considered for a moment and revealed, “But he said he had a doctor who could help Mr. Santiago.”

Raeleigh looked up at the maid and hesitated.

Raeleigh actually didn’t believe that Crevor could help Santiago, but she was at the end of the rope. If she didn’t at least try, there’s no saying as to what would happen and once she tried, she would have no regrets.

Raeleigh brooded over it for a long time and called Jepherson. She didn’t know whether some matters had happened to detain him as she couldn’t get through to his phone. Raeleigh then called Stuart, who said that he couldn’t find Jepherson anywhere and even now he couldn’t get in touch with him.

Raeleigh hung up the phone, stood up, and followed the maid to the gates. When she got outside, Raeleigh’s gaze landed on the figure and was deep in thought. Not because of Crevor, but Santiago.

Raeleigh felt that her behavior was somewhat laughable.  She was fully aware of the dangers ahead but here she was anyway. She said before that she won’t send herself straight into the tiger’s maw, hence her situation now is quite ridiculous.

If Santiago was by her side at this time, he would definitely scold her as to how foolish she was.

Raeleigh stopped at the gates and looked at the person on the other side “What business do you have here, Mr. Doyle?”

“I came to see you.”

Raeleigh asked dubiously, “The servant said that you brought a doctor here, and that the doctor you brought with you could help Santiago. Is that true?”

“If I say that I just want to see you, would you believe me?”

“I believe in whatever you say. Since you are here and want to see me, I will believe you no matter what you say.”

Crevor’s lips twitched. “Can you come out and walk with me?”

“What will you give me in return?”

“I will find a doctor for you and help save Santiago.”

Raeleigh shook her head. “I think you think too highly of me. I don’t even know where Santiago is now. How can I help him? If you have anything you can help me with, you can just tell me. If not, just forget it.”

Crevor’s gaze went dim. “I met with some trouble. Can I kindly request for you to walk with me?”

“Please leave.”

Raeleigh then turned around and walked towards the direction of Green Jade Garden. Crevor called out, “I know an old doctor who was famous for bringing back comatose patients. Meeting him depends on your luck, and even then he does not always treat everyone that sees him.”

Raeleigh paused, then turned back to Crevor and asked, “Do you know him?”

“We are friends, despite our generation gap, but he is a person who is unwilling to break the rules. Even if I take you there, he may not help you. If you want help, you can only rely on yourself.”

Raeleigh thought for a moment. “What’s his name?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“Does he live here?”

“No, but it’s not far from here.”

Raeleigh was silent for a while. “I have to wait for Jepherson to come back.”

“That’s fine.”

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Crevor for a long time, “What business is it that I can help you with?”

Crevor heaved a sigh of relief. “Walk with me.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Raeleigh walked to the gates, opened it and went out.

The maid reminded her, “Madam Raeleigh.”

“I know. If Mr. Jepherson comes back and I haven’t, tell him who exactly I followed out.”

Raeleigh walked out of the gates and looked at Crevor. Since he was willing to help, she also wanted to know more. It did not matter if she went for a walk with him.

Raeleigh followed Crevor out and to his car. After they got in, the car drove off at his signal. She didn’t inquire as to their destination, but the car hadn’t stopped at all after a while. He said walk, when it was nothing more than to accompany him.

Although Raeleigh was reluctant, she had no way to change anything now. No matter how things had turned out, it’s undeniable that his help was needed.

Whether it was real or fake, she’s already in the car.

It was pointless to ask any further.

The car stopped in front of a courtyard and Crevor got out.

He then turned around and offered to help her get down. Raeleigh took a brief look outside before she got down the car. Once outside, the first thing she saw was the plaque that hung on the mansion’s walls with only two words written that said, “Doyle Manor”.

Raeleigh looked at Crevor. “This is the newly built Doyle family in Capital City?”

“It is.” Crevor didn’t bother to hide and invited her in. Raeleigh stood outside and faltered for one moment, before she finally followed him in. Since she was already here, why should she be afraid to set foot inside?
