Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh took the letter over, unfolded it, and read it.

“First of all, let me make it clear. I’ve taken the three children away with me, and I don’t know how long it will take for me to return. I’ve sent your parents back. With regard to Stuart, he’s going to come out later. If anything happens, I’ll contact you.

If I don’t come back within two years, take it as an opportunity for you and him. If he turns over a new leaf and treats you better, I’ll return the child to him. If he doesn’t, I can only take you away.

My heart is with you, and you know it.”

Raeleigh wanted to keep the letter in the pocket, but Jepherson snatched it over, opened it, and read it. After that, he simply tore it up.

Lenold furrowed his eyebrow and said, “With a short temper like this, it’s no wonder that Mr. Quirk looks down on you. It makes sense to me that you can’t get yourself a wife.”

Raeleigh shot a glance at Lenold, who rubbed it in. It seemed that he would have a tough time in the Green House.

He didn’t know how to be tactful. Raeleigh signaled him not to talk nonsense with her eyes. However, he took no notice of it and walked two steps, coming to the front of Jepherson. He opined, “You’re too arrogant. Here comes a man who is more arrogant than you. Let’s see what you can do now. If I were you, I would capitulate instantly for the sake of the wife and child. Besides, this is an era when pursuing girls can be quite hard. On top of that, my sister-in-law is as pretty as a picture, not to mention smart. Am I right?”

“Get lost!”

Jepherson’s face fell and he turned around to look at Raeleigh. “Call him and tell him to bring Shaney back to me. Otherwise, I’ll demolish Green House.”

“Now that he has left, I won’t be able to get in touch with him. It isn’t the first time he does so.” Raeleigh felt helpless as this was not the plan they had agreed on the previous day.

“Save your energy. If you can find him, it won’t be called a confidential mission. I’ve got a kind reminder for you. The country he was assigned to has not been stable recently. I guess he might have gone there, but I don’t know how he’s going to carry out his mission.

That’s all I can do for you as a buddy. Think about it. I’m leaving.”

Lenold turned and went back into the prison. Raeleigh stood outside the gate and waited for a short time. Then, the gate opened again and a person came out. It was none other than Stuart.

Since Stuart had been in prison for a long time, his skin was sallow and he had become thinner.

After a brief moment of amazement when seeing Raeleigh, he walked toward her speedily. “Thank you.”

Raeleigh wore a smile. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to visit Lucy.”

Stuart raised his head to look at Jepherson. After a long time, he approached him. “Mr. Jepherson, I’ve something to tell you.”

“Say it.”

“I want to leave the Richards family and find a tranquil place to live a simple life.”

Jepherson seemed to be riled, but he still retained his composure. “One can’t come back to life after death. You should think about Mr. Alvin too. He is old. If you leave him, what should he do?”

“When he gets old, I will take him to my side. Mr. Jepherson, I hadn’t entreated you before and this is the only time.”

Although Jepherson felt disinclined, he still gave his permission.

At this time, Stuart focused his eyes on Raeleigh and said, “Take me there.”

Raeleigh got into the car, followed by Stuart, leaving Jepherson behind.

Standing momentarily, Jepherson started to feel cold. He walked from Green House toward the direction of Capital City. It was not long before he heard the sound of a car behind him. Therefore, he stopped.

He didn’t wear many garments, only a thin piece of cloth. As the car came to a halt, a head poked out of its window. Lenold said inside, “What kind of attire is that? I’m freezing even in a coat. Aren’t you cold in that attire of yours?”

Jepherson darted a glance at him and ignored him, continuing to move forward. Lenold sounded his horn. “Get in. I’m buying something. I can send you home on my way.”

Jepherson did not get into his car. Lenold drove slowly beside him while talking.

However, Jepherson did not change his mind. When they were halfway there, Jepherson turned around and stared at Lenold before he walked to the car window and pulled out the key to Lenold’s car. As a result, the car stalled on the spot. Jepherson did not say anything but hurled the key away.

Lenold emerged from the car and cursed Jepherson, stomping in anger. Jepherson turned around and threw a punch at Lenold, making him afraid to speak anything more.

Raeleigh drove to the Wagner family’s residence, got out of the car and knocked on the door. Stuart also got out of the car.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

During this period, both the Wagner family and Stuart were overcome with grief. The Wagner family had taken their time to snap out of it, so Melinda was not surprised to see Raeleigh. She invited Raeleigh in.

Stuart approached Melinda and said nothing. Perceiving how skinny he was, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

If her daughter had not died, Stuart would have been a great son-in-law.

Entering the house, Raeleigh sat down while Melinda poured her some tea. The whole family was there.

Lucy’s sister-in-law was pregnant and her belly was large as if she was at full term. But actually, she was still in the early stage of pregnancy.

After sitting down, Stuart fixed his eyes on the belly of Lucy’s sister-in-law’s, who kept her head lowered.

“I’ve tidied up her belongings. We’ve been keeping Lucy’s room for you. If you want to stay here, it’s fine with us. We’ve discussed it.”

About these affairs, the Wagner family had already thought it through. After all, the house was purchased by Stuart. Since Lucy was gone, it didn’t feel right for their family to live in it.

“I’ve already decided to bring Lucy to the countryside and farm there. Lucy told me that she preferred to lead an idyllic farming life. I promised her that I’ll fulfill her wish when we’re free.”

“Now that I’ve time, I came here today to tell you that I’m going to bring her along.”

Lucy’s parents exchanged a look. Melinda then said, “Stuart, listen to us. We think that the connections between you and Lucy in this life had come to an end. Even though Lucy ended up in this way because of you, we all know how well you’ve treated her. We’re well aware that the blame shouldn’t be placed on you. We also hope that you can get over it.”

Melinda found it hard to continue speaking about the death of her daughter. She couldn’t help choking up.

Stuart took a tissue paper and passed it to Melinda. “Mom, don’t cry. I won’t go too far. I’ll stay nearby with Lucy. You and Dad are getting old. After some years, when Chirsen’s child has grown up, you and Dad can retire and go to my place.”

“Chirsen, feel free to let the child study with me. My grades were not bad when I was a child. You don’t have to employ a tuition teacher. There’s no guarantee that the tuition teachers available out there are reliable.”

Hearing Stuart’s words, Melinda cried her heart out, whereas Chirsen replied, “We’re very grateful that you think so. Lucy did choose the right man, but we don’t want to do that. We’ve thought about the house and we think it’s better to give it back to you…”

“I bought it for your marriage. Lucy and I didn’t give you anything else when you got married. Just take it as a wedding gift.

Moreover, I’ve left some money for Dad and Mom. Here’s my savings, though I don’t remember the exact amount. Initially, I planned to use it to bring Lucy out for journeys, but now, it’s useless to me. I might as well leave it to you.”

Stuart put down the card. The Wagner family refused to accept it, but Stuart insisted.

He got up and ascended the stairs. Arriving at his and Lucy’s room, he pushed the door open and went in without coming out for a day. By the time he came out, he had already packed up the things and held Lucy’s cinerary urn in his hand.

As the members of the Wagner family came into his sight, he put down the urn and the luggage and took Lucy’s parents to sit down on the couch while he knelt in front of them.

Lucy’s parents froze then and there. They had never expected him to do so.

Stuart said nothing but just knelt in front of them before he took Lucy’s ashes and luggage away.
