Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1003 New Car

Jepherson got some rest after comforting Paige. He lay down but he couldn't fall asleep, so he called Raeleigh. Raeleigh was still awake. She took a quick look at her phone to check who called but decided against picking up. She sent a text message to Jepherson, telling him that it was very late, and she wanted to rest.

Jepherson replied immediately, telling her that it wasn't time to go to bed yet.

Raeleigh got up from the bed, and video-called him for a while. Novalie looked at Raeleigh and said, "You should have attended school today."

Raeleigh said nothing. She wanted to spend more time with her grandmother.

"You're not in good health. I want to stay and take care of you. I can't take care of you if I'm in school all day."

"What's wrong with that? It's not like you never took care of me. I'm in such good health right now. I couldn't bear to see you neglect your studies to take care of me."

Novalie was considerate. She had not done anything meaningful in her life and was not well-educated either.

Raeleigh was her only hope. To see Raeleigh doing well would be her greatest accomplishment in life.

It took Raeleigh a while before falling asleep while leaning on Novalie's shoulder. Raeleigh woke up Tristany the next morning. After washing up, she exchanged a few words with her grandmother and went back to school immediately.

As soon as she entered the gate, Raeleigh saw Scarlette waiting for her arrival. She rushed forward at the sight of Raeleigh and marched forward after taking her hand. Raeleigh said sullenly, "Did you know that I was coming back?"

"Mr. Jepherson called a while ago, of course I knew. Santiago is here too. We don't know where he's gone."

There were so many things to talk about with Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked at Scarlette, as she dragged her along. She had no choice but to listen to Scarlette's ramblings about the events that happened in the past few days. She soon discovered about the incident between Deanna and Zorion.

"Are they better now?" Raeleigh was still worried about Deanna. She was not in good health and was malnourished.

Scarlette shook her head. "I am truly impressed by you. What exactly are you thinking about? Why are you still worried about her?"

Scarlette let go of her grip.

Raeleigh looked at Scarlette. "I'd treat you the same. I'd feel guilty too if I took Hadrian away."

"What did you say? It's not your fault that Mr. Jepherson was the one who initiated to pursue you. Besides, relationships are not meant to be forced."

"Although it can't be forced, it was still partially my fault. Deanna had been nothing but kind to me. I can't imagine the consequences I would face if it were someone else. Deanna and Jepherson grew up together. They could have had a happily ever after if it were not for me."

Raeleigh looked at Scarlette with a poker face. Scarlette kept quiet upon seeing her expression.

"You are too kind." Scarlette continued to walk forward, as Raeleigh followed her unhurriedly. After tidying up the room, Raeleigh said, "I am not going to the morning lecture. I will take a rest here. Go ahead first if there's nothing else. I will go to class directly in the afternoon."

"I'll keep you company. I have nothing to do anyway. I'm worried about you staying alone." Scarlette did not leave. The door was closed and Raeleigh sat opposite her. She fell asleep soon after. Santiago didn't even knock on the door when he came. He pushed the door open and walked in.

Scarlette opened her eyes and jumped up immediately. Santiago said with an indifferent expression, "Calm down, I'm not going to eat you."

"Please have a seat, Mr. Santiago." She was afraid of Santiago, and felt her hair stand on end.

Santiago seemed to be accustomed to this, so he didn't care about her reaction. He walked in and lay on the bed. He didn't care about Raeleigh's return.

Raeleigh continued to lay down for a while before getting up for lunch at noon. When the three of them arrived at the canteen together, they saw Atkinson siblings.

"What a small world." Scarlette muttered while looking at Raeleigh. "Don't talk too much."

Raeleigh was not planning to cause trouble as she felt that it was a blessing that everyone was safe and sound.

Santiago walked in front of them. He did not say a word when he passed by the siblings from the Atkinson family. He went to the private room where he usually had his meals. Scarlette pulled Raeleigh's hands and continued walking forward.

Raeleigh followed after Scarlette and kept her silence as she passed by the siblings.

Deanna turned her body towards Raeleigh. She pursed her lips and said, "She claimed that Jepherson is where her heart belongs. But look at her now, hanging out with that b*stard Santiago. Karma will pay her back eventually."

"Deanna, don't talk nonsense." Zorion turned around to look at Raeleigh. Then, he turned back and pulled Deanna away after Raeleigh entered the private room.

"We haven't eaten yet." Deanna came out of the dining hall and pouted unhappily.

"Let's dine outside. What do you want to eat?" Zorion did not want to meet Raeleigh yet, so he took Deanna outside. The siblings passed through the corridor and went out for lunch.

When they came back from their meal, Scarlette said, "Where are they?"

Raeleigh looked at her and said, "You have so many requests. You hate them for being here, yet you're questioning them for their absence. What do you want?"

Raeleigh knew Deanna was avoiding them. Just as she finished her sentence, Santiago strode towards them and commented, "Other people's businesses have nothing to do with you. Focus on your studies. Otherwise, you won't be able to do anything in the future."

Santiago walked out of the door and looked around. Raeleigh and Scarlette went to attend their classes. Soon, the day had passed.

In the evening, Scarlette and Raeleigh played a few rounds of computer games. Raeleigh felt bored after a while and started researching cars.

Jepherson had sent Raeleigh a picture with an outline of a car. Raeleigh flipped through her phone and took a look at it. She was surprised.

"Come out."

Jepherson was talking to her in the video, and she blushed a little. She looked at her friends, who were sitting in front of her and stood up, leaving her laptop on the table.

"I'll head out for a while."

"I'll take you there and have a look at what it is that got your eyes sparkling so bright." Raeleigh wanted to refuse her offer. Santiago ignored her and stood up to leave before she could respond. Out of curiosity Scarlette took hold of Raeleigh's hand and followed suit.

Raeleigh walked out and looked around. It was already dark, so she couldn't see her surroundings very clearly. A bright light flashed at them from the side. Raeleigh raised her hand to cover her eyes immediately. When she turned around, a car was driving towards them.

The car stopped in front of her, and Raeleigh put her hands down. The headlights dimmed and the car door was pushed open. Jepherson got out of the car, and rested his forearms on the roof of the car. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. She was stunned as the car he drove here was personally designed by her.
