Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1016 Sleeping by the River

"When I was fifteen, my father found a record of my mother's hospitalization in the hospital where my mother was admitted to after the fall. It was clearly recorded that my mother had given birth to a girl and had bled badly. At that time, the child was born. All the staff heard the child crying. My mother was in a coma and didn't wake up. After that, no one knew where the child went. I went to visit the head nurse to inquire. She remembered that the child was still alive when she was taken away. As for where the child was sent to, there was an orphanage at that time, so she asked me to check with the orphanage."

"I went there. They indeed took in a girl that day. The girl's name could not be retrieved, but there was indeed a girl who was sent to the orphanage that same day."

"The orphanage could no longer take care of the children because of financial problems. Three years later, the orphanage sent away more than sixty children to other orphanages across the country, so I want to find her, no matter if she's dead or alive."

Raeleigh leaned against one side of the seat and remained silent. She could not remember what had happened to her when she was a child, nor did she remember whether there was a three-year-old child sent to their orphanage.

After saying that, Jepherson leaned against the side for a while. Seeing that Raeleigh didn't say anything, he leaned in to kiss her.

Raeleigh smiled. "You will find her."

"Scarlette is the same age as you. Stuart and Hadrian are about the same age as me. They're all children my father brought back, and every one of them is an orphan."

Jepherson talked and laughed, looking at the outside of the plane. Raeleigh could see that he was looking forward to finding his sister. She put her hand over Jepherson's and held his hand. "I hope you will find her."

"I hope so too, but the road ahead is vast. I don't even know if she has any special markings on her body, so how am I supposed to look for her?"

"You've been looking for her for so long, and I believe that you can sense her when the time comes." Raeleigh smiled, but Jepherson suddenly said, "Among all the girls, I only have an impulsive desire to protect you. Everyone else is like the passing of clouds and smoke. I don't care about them. Even if it was Scarlette or Deanna, I never had such a desire as I have for you. Are you the one?"

Raeleigh froze for a moment, and she then burst into laughter. "Look at me, am I the one?"

Jepherson shook his head and said, "If you aren't, then who will be by my side to spend this lifetime?"

Jepherson's face was full of amusement. He raised his hand and held Raeleigh in his arms. Raeleigh lay on top of him. She raised her hand and gently stroked Jepherson's chest. For some reason, she was a little worried.

"You've searched in so many places. Have you ever searched the orphanage in Capital City? There are also many orphanages in Capital City." Raeleigh looked up and asked Jepherson. Jepherson nodded and said, "I did. But I found out that there was only one orphanage that adopted one girl from that orphanage."

"But it was a few years ago, just as we were about to inquire, the orphanage burned down. Everyone died."

Raeleigh's hand moved slightly, and was close to trembling. She looked out of the window worriedly. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

She believed in Jepherson, but most of the time, she also doubted her own self. What if...

Raeleigh gently breathed and sighed. Jepherson looked at her and said, "It's alright. I'll find her. I'll find that man named Steffan. I'll find him and ask him why he did that and why he lied to my parents." Raeleigh turned slowly to look at Jepherson. "What if we can't find him?"

"If I can't find him in this lifetime, then I'll find him in the next lifetime. There will be a day where I can find him. I refuse to believe that he will vanish from the face of this world unless he has died." Raeleigh was surprised by Jepherson's determination, but she didn't say anything. She just leaned against Jepherson's arms.

After they got off the plane, Jepherson first landed in the hotel he had booked and rested for a day. In the evening, he took Raeleigh out for a stroll.

There was some distance from the airport to their desNorahtion. The three of them took a taxi to the orphanage. When they arrived at the gate, Jepherson got out of the car and knocked on the door. The orphanage was still open at that hour. Soon, there were guards coming out of the gates. When they saw the both of them, they thought that the couple were there to adopt a child, so they immediately said, "The director is taking a break. If you want to adopt a child, then you can come back tomorrow. It's not convenient for you to see the children at night."

Raeleigh paused for a moment and looked over to Jepherson's side. He didn't add anything else but just said, "In that case, we'll come tomorrow. My apologies for having troubled you all." "Alright."

Jepherson did not enter the orphanage and took Raeleigh around other places. The orphanage was located near the suburbs, and it was far from the city center. After walking for a while, Raeleigh stopped and stared at the small river in front of her. Jepherson sensed that Raeleigh liked it, so he took her there. At around ten o'clock, there was no one by the river. Jepherson held Raeleigh's hand and walked for a while before finding a place to rest. They sat together, basking in the cold weather, with Raeleigh leaning against Jepherson's arms while Jepherson gently patted Raeleigh's shoulder. Raeleigh said, "Will you be unhappy that I have so many secrets in my heart? Would you mind that?"

"How would I? Everyone has an undisclosed story in their hearts. Some are unspeakable, and no one can force you to do so. If you're willing, then you can tell me. If you're not willing to, then there's no need to say it out loud. I'm not coming for your secret."

As Jepherson spoke, Raeleigh lifted her head to look at him. Under the moonlight, she could clearly see Jepehrson's deep and bright eyes. Raeleigh was somewhat dazed. She turned her face away, feeling quite amused and helpless.

It was funny that she could actually meet a devoted man like Jepherson among all the men in the world. She felt helpless because their identities were too complicated. She did not know how to accept it and how to be with him for the rest of their lifetimes.

They were destined to have a hard time in the future, no matter what they had experienced.

Jepherson lay down with Raeleigh in his arms. The heat on his body was enough to keep Raeleigh warm until dawn. Stuart stepped back to avoid them. Even if they didn't do anything, it was not wise to watch Jepherson lying on the ground with a woman in his arms.

So, he took a few steps back and found a place to lie down, where he would not disturb Jepherson and Raeleigh.

"Raeleigh, is there anything about me that you're not satisfied with?" Jepherson lay quietly, holding Raeleigh in his arms. They listened to the flowing river and enjoyed the outdoor breeze.

Raeleigh held Jepherson's waist. She had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Now that they were together, she just considered whether they could be together or not. As for whether it was a good or bad choice, she pushed it to the back of her mind.

But Raeleigh didn't want to say anything. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Jepherson could neither wait for Raeleigh's answer, nor did he press on. He closed his eyes and hugged their bodies together with his jacket. He turned over and hugged Raeleigh tightly. The two of them fell into another dream with their pillows against the moonlight.
