Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1001 Stood Firmly by Her Words

Jepherson followed her into the house, changed into house slippers, and greeted Novalie before walking into the kitchen, washing his hands, and helping to prepare lunch. It was sunny at noon, but the lighting in Raeleigh's kitchen was not bright enough. They stayed quietly in the kitchen. No one spoke as they focused on their own tasks.

Novalie closed her eyes, sitting cross-legged on the couch. She narrowed her eyes and pressed her hands against her legs.

She was not curious about what was going on in the kitchen. She was thinking about Xanthus. She was afraid that he had malicious intentions!

Soon, lunch was served. Raeleigh and Jepherson took turns serving the food on the table. Raeleigh called Novalie over while Jepherson washed his hands and followed them to the dining table, sitting down one after another. Jepherson set up Novalie's cutlery, acting as if he was at home. He treated her like how he treated Paige.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. It was hard to imagine how he would be at home.

If she had never been to Harvey Manor, then she would have let it go. However, Raeleigh had been there before. She realized that the line between them was one she would never be able to cross. Raeleigh served the rice for Jepherson and Novalie before sitting down to eat. She slightly lowered her head, eating more than she could chew.

That day, Jepherson bought a fish. She steamed the fish because Jepherson liked it.

Jepherson really liked it. He even removed the fish bones for Novalie.

Upon seeing that Raeleigh hadn't tried it, Jepherson also picked up a piece for her. "Try it. It's delicious."

Raeleigh looked at him as she ate the fish.

Raeleigh knew very well whether it was delicious or not as she cooked it herself, after all.

Jepherson was indeed a different breed. He placed some food in Novalie's bowl before devouring more than half of the fish by himself. He did eat some of the beancurd, but the fish was the main dish. After eating dinner, Jepherson chatted with Novalie. Raeleigh finished tidying up and couldn't help staring at the leftover fish in the kitchen in a daze. Was it really that delicious?

After picking up the cutlery, Raeleigh tasted some of the fish. When she ate it, her mind was filled with other thoughts, so she couldn't savor its flavor.

After consuming some of it, Raeleigh frowned. It was nothing. It tasted quite normal.

After putting it down, Raeleigh looked at the living room. Who knew why he had eaten so much? Maybe it was because he was hungry.

When Raeleigh finished tidying up, Jepherson was not in the living room. She stopped and looked at the door, noticing that his shoes were still there. Raeleigh asked Novalie, "Where is he?" Novalie looked at Raeleigh's room and said, "He said he was sleepy after taking such a long flight and had gone to sleep. Just wake him up at six o'clock later."

Raeleigh looked at the door and went in.

Jepherson had already fallen asleep. His coat was set aside, and his shirt unbuttoned. He preferred not to be restrained while sleeping. Raeleigh felt that Jepherson didn't seem to like wearing button-ups compared to T-shirts, which were loose-fitting.

Seeing that he was not covered with the quilt, Raeleigh walked over and tucked him in. She looked at the time. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon. Did he have to sleep till six o'clock?

Raeleigh did not disturb him. She went out and closed the door behind her.

She wanted to have a chat with Novalie, but when she came out, Novalie had already gone back to rest.

Raeleigh opened the door of Novalie's room and intended to have a rest, but Novalie spoke before she could even enter the room. "Alright, go there. Didn't you say that you'll leave tonight? You must be tired after the journey. Have a rest."

Novalie understood that Jepherson wished Raeleigh could accompany him when he said that he wanted a rest.

Only Raeleigh did not understand what was going on.

Raeleigh stood there for a while and she then turned around and went back.

When Raeleigh opened the door, Jepherson had already opened his eyes. He had taken off his shirt and pants, putting them aside. Raeleigh blushed when she saw Jepherson.

If they were in the suburbs, then Raeleigh would be more comfortable. When she came back to Capital City, especially at her home, Raeleigh felt her face burning at the thought of that. Jepherson couldn't care less. During his time in the suburbs, because of his injuries, he was completely devoid of lust. Now that he was going to leave, he couldn't leave just like that. Raeleigh pursed her lips together and asked, "Why did you take off your clothes?"

"Come on." Jepherson smiled. He didn't care about Raeleigh's displeasure at all. He only saw Raeleigh, whose face flushed red.

Raeleigh did not move while Jepherson waved his hand. Raeleigh turned around and looked at the window. She locked the door and drew the curtains before going over.

Standing by the bed, Raeleigh asked, "Have you recovered now?"

"No." Jepherson deliberately put on a disappointed face. On one hand, he wanted it, but on the other hand, he felt helpless.

Raeleigh glanced at him. "What do you want?"

Jepherson lay down. He didn't say anything and just continued lying on the bed.

Raeleigh bit her lips. After thinking for a long time, she took off her clothes and went to bed. As for what she was going to do, she didn't need to worry about it. Soon, she was straddling him. Only then did the corners of his mouth curl up. He pressed Raeleigh's head down and kissed her...

When Raeleigh woke up, Jepherson had already left. There was a piece of paper on the bedside table, on which there was a time. Raeleigh was confused about what was written on it.

It was a Saturday. Raeleigh didn't know the meaning of the time written on the paper.

After lying down for a while, Raeleigh got out of bed and put on her clothes. She was about to cook for her grandmother, but Novalie said that she had already eaten. Raeleigh stood in front of her and asked, "Did you eat alone?"

"He accompanied me for breakfast. He heated up the food and finished the fish before leaving." Novalie had never seen someone who loved eating fish that much.

Novalie knew that it was not because he loved eating fish, but because he loved Raeleigh.

Jepherson was not a fool. He could see that the fish was made for him, so he ate all of it.

Raeleigh went to the kitchen and found that all the dishes had been eaten.

She came out of the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of porridge and a boiled egg, which was still warm.

Raeleigh sat by Novalie's side as she ate. Novalie was still quite satisfied. No matter what, Jepherson was not so bad after all.

Those days, let alone the son of a rich family, even the children of ordinary families could do nothing. If she expected a man to cook for her, then it would be better to expect a pig to climb a tree than a man to cook for her.

Novalie understood that he would not be able to do that if he wasn't sincere. As such, she was still satisfied.

Raeleigh sat down and started to eat as Novalie started to talk about Xanthus. Then, she said, "I'll be careful in the future. He must know something at school. There's a column in my school's files that contains the address in the countryside. The school authorities need me to fill it up with more details. If he has been to the countryside, then maybe he would know something?"

Novalie glanced at Raeleigh. "It's not a big deal. I'm an old woman. Can't I have a granddaughter when I have no children?"

Raeleigh understood Novalie's intentions. If she did not admit to it and stood firm by her words, then no one would be able to do anything to her.
