Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 1824 The Whole World Hates Him



Raeleigh and Santiago were sitting next to each other on the couch, leaning against each other. Cynthia placed two glasses of water on the table and sat opposite them.

Cynthia observed the two people in front of her and asked, “Are the two of you together now?”

“No, we’re not.” Raeleigh said. Santiago briefly looked over at Raeleigh. Then, he leaned back in his seat and studied Cynthia’s house.

Cynthia said, “I’m sorry about what happened to your brother.”

“It’s alright. It’s all in the past. These kinds of things, we will not understand unless we experience them. I understand your difficulties. You did it for my brother and yourself.”

“I hope your brother thinks so too.”

“Of course. He’s about to have his first child.” Cynthia was stunned when she heard Raeleigh’s words. Then, she asked about Xanthus. At this time, Santiago had already stood up and was looking out the door.

Cynthia kept her eyes on Santiago when she realised that he was about to leave. Raeleigh remained seated on the couch and sighed. Cynthia liked Jared because he resembled Santiago. That was why she fell in love with Jared very quickly and easily.

Santiago stood there for a moment and looked at the time. “I’m tired.”

Raeleigh stood up. “I’m sorry to disturb you. I think we’re going to make a move.”

“Don’t you want to stay a little longer? I don’t think I’ll be able to fall back asleep.”

Cynthia immediately stood up, unwilling to part with Raeleigh and Santiago. She wanted to save their relationship, but Santiago was no longer what he used to be.

He no longer treated her as his confidante.

Raeleigh looked at Santiago, who was waiting at the door, and asked, “Santiago, do you want to take a rest here? By the time we head home, it’ll be dawn.”

Santiago ignored Raeleigh, opened the door and walked out. Raeleigh had no choice but to apologise to Cynthia. Then, she turned around and followed Santiago out.

Cynthia chased after them in a hurry. By then, Raeleigh and Santiago walked some distance. Cynthia caught up to Santiago and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Santiago’s body trembled a little. It was not because his heart was trembling, but because Cynthia was hugging him from behind.

“Santiago…”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Santiago raised his hands to push Cynthia’s hands away. Then, he continued walking without looking back. Raeleigh stood there and looked at Cynthia. She was not sure whether Cynthia was still in love with Santiago or was just feeling lonely.

“Hurry up.”

Santiago beckoned Raeleigh. It was only then Raeleigh turned around and continued walking.

Just as she started walking, she heard Cynthia’s cries behind her. She briefly stopped and turned around. She was met with Cynthia kneeling on the ground, crying.

Raeleigh turned back around and caught up to Santiago. Then, she said, “How can you be so heartless? Aren’t you…”

“I have never loved her before. How can you call me heartless?”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. “But I thought…”

“I tricked her because I couldn’t ignore her, but she put her faith in luck. She felt that as long as she stayed by your side, I would be able to return. She used you  and she also used your brother.”

Santiago turned around and walked towards the house. Raeleigh thought for a while and then followed him back.

Even so, Cynthia already had nothing left.

Soon, Raeleigh arrived back at the house. She froze for a moment just as she was about to enter her house. She did not expect that Jepherson would show up at this time.

Santiago glanced at Jepherson impatiently before entering the house. Raeleigh stopped and looked at him, “What are you doing here?”

“I heard that you’re leaving?”

Raeleigh froze again. She knew that he must have been waiting here for a long time. Not only that, he probably also knew where they went.

“Yes, I’m leaving. Shaney’s currently with Jacky. Why don’t you come over later? Then, you can meet her for one last time.”

Raeleigh said as she entered the house. Jepherson then said, “I just want to remind you to come home once you’re done travelling the world. I’ll be waiting for you right here!”

Raeleigh stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Jepherson. She looked at him in confusion. “What do you want?”

“Nothing. I’m going to wait for you here. I will not leave until you come back.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“No, I’m not.”

They looked at each other. This was not the Jepherson that Raeleigh knew. She looked at him for a while before entering the house.

When Raeleigh entered the house, she realised that Santiago had gone upstairs to rest. So, she made her way upstairs. As soon as she arrived upstairs, she heard Santiago say, “He probably has no other way.”

Raeleigh stood at the stairs, staring at Santiago. He was lying on the floor. He had changed into his pyjamas and was ready to sleep.

Raeleigh walked over and sat beside him. “Do you hate him?”

Santiago smiled. “A little.”

“Why?”

“He gave me a chance to love you, but he took you as his own. He’s not a good brother. It’s like he’s willing to share his toys with me, but not allowing me to play with them.”

Santiago smiled brightly, but Raeleigh could not bear it. It was as if all her emotions were frozen.

No matter how happy they were in this moment, it would still fade away!

In the morning, the sun was shining brightly in the skies. Raeleigh lay in the quilt, while Santiago had his arms underneath the pillow as he slept. The two of them were breathing in the same air.

Jepherson stood below and looked up. He waited until Deanna came out for breakfast.

When Jepherson saw Deanna, he quickly walked over to see Shaney.

Deanna looked displeased. “If it weren’t for Shaney, I wouldn’t have let you come into my house.”

Deanna said unhappily to Jepherson as soon as he arrived at the door. Jepherson then entered the house and realized that his daughter was already awake.

Shaney raised her head and looked at Jepherson. After a while, she raised her hands, gesturing for her father to carry her. Jepherson was somewhat surprised. However, he still carried Shaney over to the sofa and sat down.

Deanna walked over and sat down. She leaned against the sofa and said, “If you still love Raeleigh, then you should tell her. Your impulsive behaviour is what ruined your past relationship.”

Jepherson looked up at Deanna. It was as if he did not understand her words. There was a look of confusion in his eyes.

Deanna said, “You should know that it’s ridiculous for Santiago and Raeleigh to get together, yet you indulge him. You treat Raeleigh like a pet. You hold her in your arms when you feel like it and when you don’t, you shove her aside. You let Santiago have her. Don’t you think there’s something wrong?

If you love someone, you would want her by your side all the time. You would not let anyone touch her.

Sometimes I wonder, do you have any brains?”

Deanna clapped her hands together.

Jepherson said, “I never regarded Raeleigh as a nobody. I just don’t want her to be in danger. I just don’t want Santiago to think that I’m getting in between him and Raeleigh.

Raeleigh belongs solely to me.

I trust them and know that nothing will happen between them.

However, I was wrong and I can’t change it.

Raeleigh loves me. She is very tired and needs to rest. I will wait for her. I will wait for her to come back.”

“Hmph! By then, you’ll be old and grey. Are you going to wait for her for the rest of your life?” Deanna rolled her eyes at Jepherson.

If Jacky did not bring his son down from upstairs, Deanna probably would have made things worse.

In the entire world, the one person that Deanna hated the most was Jepherson.
