Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1004 Love and Treat Children Equally

Jepherson walked towards Raeleigh and took the car keys out of his pocket. "This is your reward, given by the company."

Raeleigh looked at the keys in front of her but she did not take it.

"I don't want the car. I'd like to have it exchanged for cash." Raeleigh thought that since it was a reward from the company, then she would be an idiot to reject it. However, she preferred the reward to be paid in another form. She would not be able to use the car as she didn't have a driver's license. Moreover, she'd have to maintain the car and pay for gas fees, which were additional expenses in her opinion. It was better to ask for money.

Jepherson kept the keys and turned to look at the car. He turned back to look at her and said, "This is a first car to be manufactured. It's a limited edition worldwide. If you choose to accept it, then the value could go even higher. If you insist on a cash reward, then we would only pay eighty percent of the value of the car."

Raeleigh thought for a while. The present was more important to her. There was no need to look too far into the future yet.

Raeleigh made a prompt decision and told him, "I don't need eighty percent. Fifty percent would suffice."

"Raeleigh." Scarlette couldn't bear to watch anymore. She was afraid if she waited any longer, Raeleigh might just forego every penny.

Scarlette walked towards Raeleigh and stood in front of her. She pulled her hand. "Why don't you sell half of the ownership of the car to me?"

"You really are not greedy." Santiago stepped forward and took the key from Jepherson. Then, he walked to the car, opened the door, and got in. He began to adjust his seat and raised his hand to beckon them in. "Come on."

Raeleigh was a little worried about Santiago. She asked Jepherson, "What does he want?"

"I'm not sure." Jepherson walked over, opened the back door, and went in. Raeleigh hesitated. Scarlette pulled Raeleigh in hurriedly. "Let's go. What if Santiago takes the car away? What are you going to do then?"

Raeleigh was dragged into the car. Scarlette sat in the front passenger seat.

Santiago ignited the engine after Raeleigh got into the car. Raeleigh observed the interior of the car. It was all designed according to her plan.

Raeleigh had never expected this.

The interior of the car was decorated with a series of nude leather, and it was relatively more spacious than other car models. However, the car's exterior looked closer to a sports car.

As Raeleigh observed, Jepherson held Raeleigh's hands. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "This car model was fully booked once it was launched. There will only be ninety-nine cars for production."

Raeleigh turned her head. "That's all?"

"It's enough." The corners of Jepherson's mouth curled upwards. She didn't catch the obvious message intended in the number. She was so slow to get the hint, he thought.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson for a while and asked, "How much is the price?"

"One hundred thirty-three million and four thousand."

Jepherson said casually. Raeleigh looked at him and asked, "Why is this number so strange?"

"The sum is equivalent to the title of 'Darling Wife'."

Raeleigh froze. He turned to look out of the window after her apparent lack of reaction.

Santiago accelerated quickly and the car sped along the road. The momentum caused Raeleigh to fall into Jepherson's arms.

Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms, made sure she was alright, and he then turned his gaze to look at Santiago and instructed, "Slow down."

Santiago slowed down the car on Jepherson's instruction. Raeleigh raised her head and glanced at Jepherson. She wanted to push him away and sit all by herself. However, Jepherson held her tightly, so she had no choice but to sit still.

Scarlette said from the front seat, "More than one million. Raeleigh, perhaps consider accepting the car first? How nice is it to be gifted with such a good car? I'm so moved."

Jepherson smiled silently. Raeleigh's face turned red but she remained quiet.

Scarlette chatted throughout the journey. Raeleigh's ears were finally at peace when Scarlette stopped.

Santiago parked the car at a familiar spot. He pushed the door open and got out of the car. Scarlette got out excitedly, following Santiago to the courtyard. Raeleigh and Jepherson were left sitting in the car. "Move your hands away." Raeleigh pushed Jepherson's hand away. Only then did Jepherson let go of her, opened the door, and got off from the other side.

Raeleigh watched him as he got out, and she then pushed the door open at her side and got out as well.

As the door closed, Raeleigh looked forward. Standing in front of her was a Victorian-style villa and a luscious green garden filled the courtyard. Santiago entered the door. Immediately, a few servants rushed out and greeted Santiago.

Jepherson walked to Raeleigh's side and said, "When I was a child, we trained here and came here every year during the holidays. Santiago loved coming here, and never wanted to leave. During the times after that, we'd find him here whenever he went missing in the mansion. Everyone here feared him because of his bad temper."

"But he's just bad-tempered. He has never hurt anyone."

"He had a domineering presence even though he is not angry, so they feared him," Raeleigh analyzed. Jepherson looked at Raeleigh for a moment before taking Raeleigh's hands. He stepped forward and said, "Perhaps. Perhaps not."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing."

Raeleigh knew Jepherson didn't want to dwell on it any longer and decided not to pry. When they got to the villa, the servants came to greet Jepherson. Raeleigh noticed that the servants were respectful and afraid of Jepherson but they were extremely fearful of Santiago.

She wondered why the servants behaved the way they did.

"Nothing much. We are here to celebrate Santiago's birthday. Make the necessary arrangements. The rest should remain the same."

Raeleigh froze when she heard what Jepherson said. She stared at Jepherson and asked, "It's Santiago's birthday today?"

"Are you surprised?" Jepherson smiled and walked towards the villa and pulled Raeleigh along. She was a little confused. The Harvey family was a wealthy family. Why was there no sign of them on their son's birthday?

"Isn't your family celebrating his birthday?" Raeleigh couldn't comprehend it. He was still the son of Harvey family after all.

"My parents would if they're here. Either way, it is just a simple meal. No grand celebration. My Grandma doesn't particularly favor Santiago. Unlike me, they'd prepare my birthday three days in advance and shower me with gifts."

He appeared helpless as he told Raeleigh about the situation in the family. She stared at Jepherson and asked, "Do all the rich and powerful families always disregard the second son?"

"Not all of them. But Grandma doesn't like Santiago. She hasn't liked him since he was a child."

"There must be a reason, right?"

"Santiago's birthday is on the same day as my great-grandmother's. Although she had never said it out loud, it was obvious that she didn't like Santiago. What's more, the family indeed does not pay as much attention to the second son."

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh for a moment. Raeleigh asked in puzzlement, "You are both the children of your parents. How could they do this to him?"

"You have such a good heart. In the future when we have children of our own, we will love and treat them equally."

Raeleigh's face became stiff when Jepherson finished his sentence. Did he make such a big detour just so that he could talk about having children?

Raeleigh blushed immediately. She could not continue the conversation. So, she pulled her hand away from Jepherson and stepped into the villa.

He could talk all he wanted if he wished to!

She thought, this man who always kept trapping her in every move he did.
