Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1020 Wasn't He Ashamed
After coming out of the room, Raeleigh immediately walked around with her head lowered. Santiago stood outside the door. Inside, Jepherson said, "I'll take a break. You guys can go off to eat." After he had said that and had closed the door, Santiago turned around to look for Raeleigh, only to find that she had already made her way downstairs. He went downstairs and followed after her. All the servants on the lower floor knew what was going on. The one named Raeleigh was not there with Mr. Santiago. Rather, she had gone into Mr. Jepherson's room and had been inside for a long time. Throughout that period of time, Mr. Santiago not only did not get angry but he also sat downstairs, eating and drinking, watching TV and playing with his cell phone.
Everyone was not clear about what was going on, but no one dared to say a word about that matter. It seemed that anyone who talked about it would be sentenced to death immediately.
Raeleigh went out of the door and was led by Santiago around the garden. Santiago introduced a lot of places to Raeleigh, and he did not miss any of them.
When they arrived at the dining room, Santiago first brought Raeleigh to wash her hands. Everyone else had already sat down. Raeleigh also saw them when she entered the room.
Scarlette trailed Santiago throughout that time. When Santiago sat in the dining room for dinner, Scarlette stood outside the dining room at its entrance and remained at that position even up till then. Raeleigh didn't know what Scarlette was doing, following him about, standing outside even as he ate inside.
Paige was seated at a round table. One side was empty, while the other was occupied by the Atkinson siblings. When Raeleigh entered the room, both Deanna and Zorion unexpectedly turned to look at her at the same time. Santiago, on the other hand, swaggered into the room, dragging Raeleigh along with him.
After Raeleigh washed her hands, the Atkinson siblings looked at Raeleigh. Deanna's eyes were especially displeased as she did not like the sight of Santiago grabbing onto Raeleigh's wrist when she wasn't even his girlfriend. Why should he be holding her hand and dragging her around wherever he went?
After Raeleigh came out of the bathroom, Santiago pulled out the chair opposite Paige and directed Raeleigh with his eyes to take a seat there. Raeleigh glanced at Paige at the opposite end of the table but did not take her seat.
Paige had been taken by surprise. She had thought of Raeleigh as incorrigible, but looking at her then, she found that she was still better than Santiago.
"Sit down."
After hearing Paige's words, Raeleigh sat down. Santiago took his hand away and pulled another chair. He sat down and said, "Tell me what you like." Raeleigh did not answer but she just sat in her seat, which made her look pitiful.
Deanna looked at Raeleigh, and then at Paige. She was upset. She could tell that Raeleigh had no position in the Harvey family, especially with regards to Paige. She seemed to dislike Raeleigh because of her status and background. Then, what about herself?
From Deanna's perspective, no matter what she did, she couldn't be compared to Raeleigh. But why was Paige treating her so well?
Was it because of her identity and background?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"Deanna, what do you like to eat? Tell me, I can give you anything."
Paige deliberately said that to put Raeleigh in her place. It was her privilege to be allowed to enter through the gates of Harvey Manor. She wanted to suppress Raeleigh even before she 'entered' the family. How could Raeleigh not understand her words? She bowed her head and remained silent the whole time.
Zorion had been staring at Raeleigh with knitted brows. No matter how thoughtful Jepherson was, the treatment Raeleigh received in the Harvey family differed from Deanna's treatment like night and day. In a place like the Harvey family, what they valued was status, not talent. Apart from the Harvey family, Raeleigh could go anywhere and be treated as a distinguished guest. However, in the Harvey family, Raeleigh was destined to be nothing. She would not be able to obtain anything.
No one paid attention to Raeleigh, which was not only the beginning but also till the end.
Zorion suddenly said, "Raeleigh, are you going to skip a few grades soon?"
Raeleigh froze for a moment. When she saw Zorion, she pondered for a while and said, "I'm preparing for a credits transfer test tomorrow, but it has been postponed to the day after tomorrow."
"Are you worried?" Zorion's smile was strong. Paige glanced at Zorion and frowned slightly.
She didn't have much to say about Zorion, but she had a lot to say about Raeleigh.
Since she was Santiago's girlfriend, why was she still smiling at other men? Wasn't that severely out of place?
Raeleigh did not understand all that. She just replied politely.
"A little."
"Looking at your grades, there's nothing to worry about. I have faith in you." The more Zorion spoke, the unhappier Paige became. She glared at Santiago, as if to say, "He's flirting with your girlfriend. What are you doing?"
Santiago acted as if he didn't see it and sipped water from the glass in his hand.
Paige hated that he could not live up to her expectations. She would never be comfortable with him.
When Jepherson came out, they had already waited for a while. Everyone watched Jepherson coming out from the side, as he then greeted everyone. "I'm late."
Pulling out a chair, Jepherson took a seat. Putting his hand on his clothes, he sat there elegantly.
Paige's expression changed the moment she saw Jepherson. With Jepherson and the others seated beside her, she immediately patted her hand on him and said, "Why don't you sit beside Deanna?" "There's no need for that. We've gotten used to sitting in this position. Isn't that so, Deanna?" Jepherson looked over at her. What could Deanna say except to smile in agreement as she remained silent? "Let's eat." Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and smiled at her. Paige saw it but didn't take it seriously. As the woman was brought back by Santiago, it was natural for him to greet her. Besides, she intended to keep Raeleigh in the family, so naturally, it was different.
When they began to eat, Jepherson took care of Paige while Santiago took care of Raeleigh. Raeleigh couldn't eat too much, but he still placed the food onto her plate, afraid that she would have gone hungry otherwise.
Paige glared at Santiago multiple times throughout the meal. She thought to herself, "She has her own hands and feet, do you really need to do that?"
Santiago acted as if he didn't see it. No matter how unwilling Paige was, it had nothing to do with him.
When the meal was over, there was still a pile of food left in front of Raeleigh. Paige wanted to see what she would do.
Raeleigh glanced at Santiago. "I said I can't eat anymore."
There was another meaning behind those words. Paige's face was slightly unpleasant. What did that mean? Was she complaining?
"If you can't eat anymore, then don't." Jepherson glanced at Santiago as well. He had deliberately done that. Was he looking for trouble?
On the contrary, Santiago was calm. He took over the rest of the food that Raeleigh had left and ate it happily, which stunned everyone, especially Deanna, whose little face became as pale as snow. However, she looked at Zorion, who signalled his sister to be calm.
Needless to say, Raeleigh hadn't touched the food. When it came to eating, Raeleigh was very orderly. She ate all the food that she could manage, and whatever she couldn't, she didn't touch it at all. As Santiago ate, he said, "You're so thin. Why don't you eat more? How else can you help grow the family?"
That statement really angered Paige. They had just started seeing each other, and they weren't even engaged or serious about each other yet. What was he talking about, growing the family?
Even Jepherson, who was the elder brother, had not said that kind of thing. He, on the other hand, was not at all ashamed. He said it openly at the dining table. Wasn't he reserved? Wasn't he ashamed?
