Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Wow! That was quick!”

Jepherson raised his eyes and asked Stuart. Stuart nodded. Jepherson asked, “What was her reaction?”

“She was so mad that she vomited.”

“That’s disgusting.”

Jepherson said. Stuart said, “Yes, it was disgusting.”

“Stuart, I suggest you don’t go anywhere during this period of time. I’ll send someone to protect you and Lucy. I’m sure you know that the Doyle family will seek revenge. You must be careful.”

“I understand.”

Stuart stepped aside. Raeleigh then asked Jepherson, “What did you do?”

“Nothing.”

Jepherson answered casually, but Raeleigh did not believe him.

However, since he did not want to explain, Raeleigh did not continue to ask.

Soon, it was night time. Raeleigh had just fallen asleep when she heard a sound coming from outside. Jepherson turned around to look but did not get up.

Raeleigh wondered who had come to the hospital.

After a while, it was quiet outside the ward. Raeleigh looked at the door for a while, but there was no sound at the door.

At this time, Jepherson got up and went to rest.

Raeleigh asked him, “What happened?”

“Go to sleep.”

Jepherson urged. So, Raeleigh went back to sleep.

The next morning, Raeleigh was watching the local news when it reported that a dead body was found in front of Crevor’s villa.

Raeleigh recognized the villa on the TV. It was where she and Crevor were locked up.

“Did you do it?”

Jepherson placed the food on the table and was about to feed Raeleigh when he heard her question. He asked, “Do what?”

It was obvious that he did not want to answer her question, so Raeleigh did not ask anymore.

However, the Doyle family suddenly became the most well-known family in Capital City.

Almost everyone in Capital City was talking about them and some even asked the government officials about it.

The government officials would always respond with silent.

Later on, when the matter escalated, someone questioned Jacky’s ability to handle matters. The press conference was just held. The purpose of the press conference was to clarify what was going on.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jacky did not make an appearance. Someone attended on his behalf. However, Jacky’s secretary did attend the press conference.

“I’ll re-check. The government does not have any details on the case as it has been handed over to the organized crime team. I will hand it over to them to explain.”

As a result, the head of the organised crime team explained that the body of the man found in front of the Doyle family’s villa was a killer. He was a fugitive on the Interpol list. This made people more panicked.

What did it mean if a killer died in front of the Doyle family’s villa?

Was someone hatching a sinister plot against the Doyle family?

How many businessmen were good people? Maybe the man was one of the Doyle’s family people.

The Doyle family’s stock started to fall drastically as investors scurried to sell their stocks. The Doyle family was also boycotted by the people of Capital City. Even some of the stores were suddenly out of stock.

Crevor frowned as he listened to the report. “What’s going on? Don’t we have an agreement?”

“There is an agreement, but even if we have an agreement, it can’t change anything. If they don’t answer the phone now, we can’t find anyone.”

Crevor’s assistant explained. Crevor sat in his office chair as he gripped a pen tightly in his hand.

“This is absurd!”

“Mr. Crevor, what should we do now?”

“I need you to tell Madam Geraldine. I’m not in the mood right now, I’m going out to clear my head.”

Crevor stood up and left. He cast this matter aside.

…

“What did you say? He just left?”

Madam Geraldine was so angry that her anger nearly consumed her. She had not recovered from the scare where she opened Jepherson’s box of maggots. Now, this.

“Tell him to come here. I want to hear his explanation. Is he trying to piss me off?”

Geraldine was so angry that she was screaming on the bed. Her grandson said, “Grandma, calm down. It will be fine after a few days. We’ll just have to compensate them. No one can do anything to us. Don’t you think so? Health is one of the crucial things in life that money can’t buy. Therefore, your health is more important right now.”

Geraldine looked at her grandson, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. She asked the rest of the people to go out first. Then, she said to her grandson, “You are very sensible. In three years time, this family will belong to you. I’m not sure whether I’ll be around to see that day.”

“Grandma, don’t worry. You’re in good health. I’m sure you’ll still be around.”

“Alright, I’ll wait.”

…

The Doyle family’s incident took about a month to settle. By then, Raeleigh had almost recovered.

The doctor said that for Raeleigh’s condition, rest was a better cure than medicine. If it weren’t for the doctor, she would have been discharged from the hospital long ago. However, she had to stay in the hospital for an extra two weeks.

After coming out of the hospital, Raeleigh got into Jepherson’s car and followed him over to her house in Waverly Village. She got out of the car and opened the door. She was surprised to see that her house was spotless. However, there were no signs of Jared.

Raeleigh turned around and asked Jepherson, “Where’s Jared?”

“He’s gone.”

Raeleigh asked curiously, “I thought you took him back?”

“Yes, I did, but the two of you will no longer see each other.”

Jepherson’s face darkened. Of course, he was unhappy, but he did not say anything. He walked past Raeleigh, entered the door and went inside with his suitcase.

Raeleigh stood at the door, looking slightly confused. “You’re planning to stay here with me?”

Jepherson asked, “What? Other people can live here, but I can’t?”

“By other people, are you referring to Jared?”

“Who else?”

“Jared broke his leg, did you?”

Raeleigh sounded slightly annoyed. Jepherson went upstairs to put his luggage in the room before coming downstairs to look at Raeleigh. He looked dead in the eyes. “Well, I’ll break my legs. Then, I can live here for the rest of my life.”

“If you really do, then I will let you live for the rest of your life.”

“Fine. Do not go back on your words.”

Raeleigh stood at the door with a pale face. A person like Jepherson was capable of doing anything.

When Raeleigh did not say anything, Jepherson turned around and went to the kitchen. The shelves and pantry were fully stocked and there was about a month left before the new year.

Jepherson put on the apron and soon, the quick, sharp sound of the knife against the chopping board could be heard. Raeleigh was curious to what he was doing, so she went into the kitchen and realised that he was dicing some meat.

“What are you making?”

“I’m going to make some ravioli.”

Jepherson replied lightly. Raeleigh stood at the door of the kitchen, “But I can’t wrap them.”

“I didn’t say I need your help. Just sit and wait outside.”

Since Jepherson did not need her help, so she did not stay in the kitchen. She turned around and went upstairs to take a shower. It took her a lot of effort to put on her clothes. By the time she went back downstairs, Jepherson had already wrapped up the raviolis and was about to put it in the pot.

Raeleigh could smell the delicious mushroom soup as she walked down the stairs.

After arriving downstairs, she went straight to the kitchen to have a look. Jepherson also made two more dishes.

Raeleigh stood aside and quietly observed Jepherson. Jepherson was also very quiet. He placed the ravioli in the frying pan and said, “Have you taken a bath?”

Raeleigh did not answer. Jepherson continued to ask, “Are you afraid that I’ll offer to help you take a shower that’s why you decided to shower first?”

Raeleigh still did not say anything. Jepherson asked, “Do you think it’s enough to stop me?”

Raeleigh remained silent. Jepherson turned around and looked at Raeleigh. “Why aren’t you talking?”

“It’s exhausting being with a man like you.” Raeleigh was too lazy to say anything.

“Or maybe, I’m just good in bed.”

Jepherson turned his head to check on the raviolis. Raeleigh stopped and walked in. She picked up a dish and walked out. Jepherson turned around and looked at Raeleigh. “Are you dumb?”

“Yes, and I also smell!”
