Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago’s departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little.

Jepherson’s health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney’s photo in a daze.

Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn’t even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs.

“Autumn is coming. I don’t want to go down.”

He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, “I can’t take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you…”

“Then stop working. Take care of me.”

Raeleigh raised her head and fixed her gaze on him, frustrated at his words. “Do you think I’m your nanny?”

“Then what are you?”

Raeleigh didn’t want to talk to him anymore, so she decided not to say anything.

When they got downstairs, Raeleigh pushed a wheelchair to Jepherson’s side and helped him sit on the wheelchair. At that time, she was so tired that her whole body was covered with sweat.

Jepherson raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her face and asked, “Are you tired?”

She glanced at him. “I can’t take care of you for too long. I intend to hire someone for you. I can help you choose someone you like. Other than that, I can’t help you.”

“I only want you to take care of me. I’ll start on a hunger strike if you let someone else take care of me.”

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Jepherson. “I really don’t know where your confidence comes from.”

She took a blanket and threw it at him, then pushed him to the door. When they were outside, she took a deep breath. As she walked under the tree, she asked him, “Are you cold?”

He looked up at her, his face pale and weak. At that moment, she was a little worried about him.

“Where are you going?”

Raeleigh frowned. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“It’s good that you don’t understand. Raeleigh, I don’t want you to walk away this time. I have already set up nets and snares. If you dare to take a step, I will make you regret it.”

Raeleigh knew that Jepherson was threatening her, but she could not say anything. Instead, she pushed him forward.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. They encountered an old couple as they walked, and they heard the older man nagging as the old lady ignored him.

Jepherson said, “Look at them. Do they look like us in the future?”

Raeleigh took a look at Jepherson and laughed. Pushing him toward the couple, she asked the old lady, “Madam, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“He had been very overbearing and controlling to me when he was young, and he bullied me all day long. I wonder if this is his karma now that he’s old. His body is no longer fit and his brain is not working well either. Also, he has dementia.

Since everything he says is false, I have no reason to argue with him. Am I right?”

“Yes, you’re right.”

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, “Do you know now?”

Jepherson snorted. “Yeah, sure. You know everything.”

The old lady glanced at Jepherson and said, “That’s it! You are just like him. Miss, if you want to leave him, you should do it as soon as possible. Don’t waste your time with such a person.”

Raeleigh wore a smile. “All right.”

Then, she pushed the gloomy-faced Jepherson forward. Although the two of them seemed to remain quiet as they strolled under the fallen leaves, Jepherson was boiling in anger. He gripped the handle of the wheelchair and hissed, “I have never hated an elderly person so much.”

Raeleigh laughed. “She’s just a little outspoken. Don’t take it to heart.”

“You did it on purpose.”

“Yes, I did it on purpose. What can you do about it?”

Jepherson said nothing as Raeleigh pushed him to the end of the path. She said, “See? The old lady doesn’t want to stay at all.”

Jepherson looked up at her. “See? That old man can’t live without the old lady. He was overbearing, but that’s his way of saying he can’t live without her. He was controlling because he wanted to swear dominance and make all the men around them stay away from his woman.”

“In the past ten years, your temper has gotten worse. Nothing has changed, but your temper is even more savage. I really don’t like you like this.”

“It’s not the first time that you tell me you don’t like me. You don’t have to tell me that. Nothing matters as long as I like you.”

They stared at each other for a while before Raeleigh pushed him forward and said, “It’s meaningless for you to drag me into this when you fall ill.”

“Don’t you hate me deep inside? Everyone in the Richards family betrayed you. Even your two children turned their backs against you.”

Raeleigh looked at him. “They’re all your family members. You should be grateful that everyone stood up for you. However, there’s no need for me to be angry about this matter.”

“Nonsense, they’re also your family members. They betrayed you and abandoned you for me.”

Raeleigh felt as if she had been struck by lightning. “Jepherson, why do you have to say that to me?”

“Then what should I say to you? They had been so cruel to you. Why don’t you hate them?”

Raeleigh was speechless. She wanted to hit Jepherson, but she could not. Instead, she only pushed him around. Later, no matter what he said, she remained quiet.

“You have struggled for half of your life. Why couldn’t you see it clearly now? I’m your final destination.”

Raeleigh remained silent.

“Raeleigh, let’s restart.”

She still remained silent.

“What treacherous things have I done to make you hate me so much?”

When they returned home, Raeleigh told him, “Give up.”

“I won’t unless I’m dead.”

Raeleigh did not know what to reply.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. When Jepherson was having breakfast one morning, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “How come you eat so much recently?”

Raeleigh turned to look at him and retorted, “That’s none of your business. Can’t I eat more?”

“Of course you can. But why did you not have your period yet?”

Raeleigh’s facial expression turned odd. “Why do I have to tell you that?”

“We live together. Do you think I don’t know that you haven’t had your period yet?”

Raeleigh took a bite of the food. “Then what do you mean?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you pregnant?”

“No, I’m not.”

Raeleigh replied decisively, but she couldn’t escape from Jepherson’s prying eyes.

Jepherson wiped his mouth. “Let’s go do an examination later.”

“Sure. I’ll show you what it feels like to be disappointed,” Raeleigh replied with her mouth full of food.

But in the end, she disappeared after she finished her meal and went to clean up.
