Getting My Ex-wife Back

Throughout the dinner, Jepherson sat at one side and stared at Forden. Raeleigh kept an eye on the children while Santiago was drinking beer with Jacky.

After a while, Shaney walked over to Jepherson’s side and sat down.

Jepherson looked at Shaney. “What’s the matter?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Are you alright?” Shaney looked at Jepherson. “I’m all grown up now. Why do you look sad?”

“Do I?”

“Yes, you barely said a word the entire night. Don’t you dream about seeing me? Why do you still look sad now that I’m here?”

There was a moment of silence before Jepherson said, “Forden…”

“Mom was pregnant when she left and we found out soon after. Then, she gave birth to Forden.”

Jepherson’s hands trembled, not daring to look at Forden.

“She did not lie to me.”

Shaney said, “But they are not together. You’ll forever be my father. Don’t you want to get back together with mom?”

Jepherson looked at her daughter and asked, “Are you planning on staying this time?”

Shaney thought for a moment. “I love hanging out with Uncle Santiago. He said that he wants to go somewhere even further next time. I’m planning on following him.”

“Is the outside world much better than being at home?”

Jepherson’s heart was in a mess.

This night was like a nightmare. Jepherson did not want to enter the house. He spent the entire night outside and Shaney accompanied him. She pulled the quilt over her body and leaned against her father. Jepherson hugged Shaney and did not close his eyes for the whole night.

Raeleigh woke up the next morning and went downstairs. Santiago was already awake at this time. Forden slept with his mother.

Forden would always prefer to sleep with his mother when he was at home and if he was not home, he would sleep with Santiago.

When Santiago saw Raeleigh, he briefly stretched his neck and stood up. He walked to the door and looked out. From where he stood, he saw Jepherson and Shaney wrapped in an embrace, under the big tree.

Santiago said, “She’s her father’s daughter after all.”

“She loves you too.”

Raeleigh knew her daughter best. She was kind-hearted like her. That was why she did what she did.

“But I am not her father. She still betrayed me.” In fact, Santiago was aware of what Shaney did. This time, it was Shaney who arranged everything. First, she disclosed to the reporters that Raeleigh was planning on setting up a company in Ocean City. Later, some companies got reliable news and invited Raeleigh over.

Santiago ignored her, hoping that Shaney would realize her wish as well.

“Since you know that Shaney did all this behind my back, why didn’t you stop me from going?”

Santiago thought for a moment and said, “He’s almost forty years old. He hasn’t been doing well for the past five years. He’s been looking for you.

He could not bear to get together with anyone. You already repaid the debt you owed me and I don’t need anything from you anymore.

As you can see, I enjoy travelling the world. It is also possible for me to come home and take care of you, but in your heart…”

Santiago did not continue, but they both knew that Raeleigh was still in love with Jepherson.

Raeleigh stood there, “You are all scheming against me.”

Santiago laughed. “Like God did not scheme against me? I’m hungry. Why don’t you make some breakfast?”

Raeleigh then went to cook. Forden came downstairs with a hypocritical look on his face, “Why does my sister like to poke her nose into other people’s business?”

Santiago turned to look at his son. “Mind your own business. Did you just get up? What time is it now?”

“I’m tired. I don’t feel like working out.”

“Then you’ll have to do one thousand frog jumps.”

“Fine, I will workout then.” Forden slowly walked down the stairs and went out. At this time, Cedric and Heitor were already waiting outside. Today, there was an extra person, Jacqueline.

When Jacqueline saw Santiago, she smiled.

Santiago smiled back. Then, he pointed at Jacqueline and said, “Forden, you’ll start following Jacqueline today. You’ll protect her for as long as we stay here.”

“You want me to protect her?” Forden sounded very reluctant. However, when he saw Santiago’s expression, he immediately agreed.

“Uncle Santiago, I’m going to have to skip the workout. My dad seems to be running a fever.”

Shaney immediately noticed that Jepherson was acting strangely. No one reacted at this time.

“Alright then. If you want to spend time with your father these days, then you don’t have to wake up early.”

Santiago left with the others. Shaney immediately went to look for her mother. When Raeleigh came out, she saw that Jepherson seemed to be in a daze.

She immediately called Jacky for help and carried Jepherson upstairs. Then, she called the doctor over and gave him some medicine to ease the fever. When the doctor arrived, he gave Jepherson an injection and the fever finally subsided.

Shaney sat at the bedside, staring at Jepherson. Raeleigh brought a bowl of soup for Shaney and said, “Here, have some soup, lest you catch a cold.”

Shaney did as she was told and drank the soup. While Shaney drank the soup, Raeleigh got up to get some pyjamas for Jepherson. In the past, it was Jepherson who lived in this house. All of his clothes were still in the closet. She remembered that Jepherson liked to wear pajamas when he sleeps. She still remembered his old habits. After that, she went to fetch a basin of water and placed it on the bedside table. Then, she said, “Shaney, why don’t you go downstairs and get some rest? I need to help your dad change his clothes. When I’m done, you can come back up.”

After Shaney went downstairs, Raeleigh looked at her and said, “You can head over to Uncle Jacky’s place and take a shower. Ask Aunt Deanna to find you some pajamas.

You better get some sleep.”

Shaney turned around and looked at her mother before agreeing to go to Jacky’s place.

Raeleigh began to take off Jepherson’s clothes. She had to resort to cutting his clothes with a pair of scissors when she couldn’t take it off.

Jepherson was connected to an IV drip, so it was difficult for her to take off his clothes. Therefore, she could only use scissors.

She briefly wiped him with a wet cloth before helping him into his pajamas. After that, she covered Jepherson with the quilt and went downstairs to pour the water away.

Then, Raeleigh began making breakfast. She fried some eggs and cooked a pot of porridge.

Raeleigh went back upstairs and pulled out the needles from Jepherson’s hands. By then, Santiago had already returned home with the children. Raeleigh could hear him instructing the children as he gave them breakfast. While they were eating, Raeleigh went upstairs with some porridge to wake Jepherson. Actually, Jepherson wasn’t sleeping, but he kept his eyes closed. Raeleigh knew that he was not sleeping. If he was, she would not wake him.

Raeleigh woke Jepherson up and helped him sit up in bed. Then, she fed him some porridge as well as an egg.

Jepherson asked Raeleigh while eating, “You and Santiago..”

“Let’s not talk about the past. Yes, Forden is Santiago’s.”

Jepherson frowned deeply. He suddenly lost his appetite.

Raeleigh brought the porridge to his mouth. Jepherson asked, “Were you pregnant with Forden when you left?”

“I don’t want to talk about the past and I don’t feel like explaining anything. Originally, we were fine. You brought all these troubles to yourself.”

Raeleigh was feeding Jepherson when she suddenly felt a little nauseous…

She immediately got up, went downstairs and retched in the bathroom.

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh with a frown.

Santiago went to check on Raeleigh. “Are you alright?”

Raeleigh shook her head firmly. Then, she turned to look at Santiago. “Can you please drive me to the hospital later? I need to get checked out.”

Santiago froze for a moment, but he still nodded.
