Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1048 Xandra Cole

Agitated, Deanna almost burst into tears as she received the call. "They've agreed to join us for dinner, so why didn't they come?" Deanna thought.

"Zorion, does Santiago hate me?" Deanna said. "Is that the reason he refuses to join us for dinner?" She had a bee in her bonnet. After all, she could tell that Santiago did not quite take a liking to her. Zorion walked towards Deanna and playfully pinched her cheek. "No worries," he said. "It has got nothing to do with you. I guess something came up. Let's head to the dormitory later to find out what happened. In the meantime, let's dig in. We'll get some food for them in a bit."

Deanna felt much better after Zorion consoled her. She then turned around and started digging in. After that, she ordered some food for Raeleigh.

As darkness set in, boys were prohibited from entering the women's dormitories. There were exceptions to every rule though, as Santiago could be seen lingering in Raeleigh's dormitory.

As soon as Deanna arrived at the dormitory, she called up Raeleigh. Raeleigh walked out of the dormitory as she answered the phone. She saw Deanna and Zorion standing outside, holding some food packages.

Raeleigh walked towards them and said, "We have had dinner."

"This is delish," Deanna said as she handed Raeleigh the food packages. "I've specifically instructed the chef to prepare some for you." Raeleigh glanced at Zorion and said, "Oh, dear. You should have stopped her from ordering any. I mean, it's getting late. It's likely that we would have had our dinner."

As frank as ever, Raeleigh is a straight shooter who spoke her mind. "Well, now that she has bought it, please help yourself to some," Zorion said. "She's just being nice anyway and wants to share some good food. She felt really distressed when she got to know that Santiago did not want to join us for dinner."

Even though Zorion's reply was somewhat short, Raeleigh understood what he wanted to convey.

"Right, come in," Raeleigh said. She held the food package and led them to her dormitory. It was nine o'clock in the evening. Yet, a lot of people could still be seen entering and exiting the dormitories. It was quite a strange sight to find Raeleigh leading two people into her dormitory, even more so to find her bringing a guy and a girl into her dormitory.

When they saw Deanna and Zorion, Scarlette and Santiago understood why Raeleigh walked out of the dormitory moments ago.

As they went into the dormitory, they noticed that Santiago had already changed into his pyjamas. He did not bother getting up from the bed when he saw Deanna and Zorion.

The moment Zorion walked into the dormitory, he said, "Hey, man. Deanna's been missing you. She bought some food for you since you didn't join us for dinner. Try it out."

Then, he put the food on the dining table before taking a seat on Raeleigh's bed. Now that Raeleigh was clad in her pajamas, she did not feel comfortable to find someone sitting on her bed.

Had it been Deanna, Raeleigh would not be as agitated. Since it was Zorion, she was feeling particularly awkward. Besides, she was worried that the siblings may want to stay over. Santiago seemed to know what was in her mind. He then got up and helped himself to the food that Deanna bought.

Scarlette could not wait to try the dishes. Now that she saw Santiago digging in, she followed suit. Immediately, she got out of the bed and grabbed a stool. Then, she sat beside Santiago and started to dig in. Raeleigh closed the door before taking a seat opposite Zorion and Deanna.

Since Raeleigh didn't know of any common interests to strike up a conversation with the Atkinson siblings, she directed her gaze towards Santiago, who was gorging on food.

Santiago wolfing down the food gave the impression that he was famished. He looked as if he had gone without food for several days.

Scarlette had a voracious appetite too. Soon afterwards, both of them ate up all the food.

Flabbergasted, Raeleigh was rendered speechless.

"I'm full," Santiago said. He got up and downed a glass of water before heading straight to the washroom to brush his teeth.

Scarlette followed suit. Raeleigh leaned against the wall, looking drowsy. However, the Atkinson siblings showed no signs that they would be leaving anytime soon.

"You guys had better be making a move," Santiago said. "We're hitting the sack soon." Santiago lay down on the bed and looked at the siblings, expecting them to leave. However, Zorion did not oblige. "It's late into the night by the time we get home," Zorion said. "We might as well stay over since there are extra beds here."

Although Raeleigh was surprised, she had mentally prepared herself in the event that the Atkinson siblings would not leave.

"Alright then," Santiago said. "There are four beds. Each of us will have a bed. Unfortunately, both of you have to share a bed." "Zorion," Deanna cried.

As soon as Santiago was done talking, Deanna called out Zorion in a distressed tone. Zorion then got up and said, "I'll make a move then. Deanna will stay over. I'll inform your teachers tomorrow that you have gone somewhere."

After that, Zorion left the dormitory. Raeleigh glanced at Santiago. He had closed his eyes, signalling that he had deliberately ignored Zorion's suggestion.

"Deanna, you may sleep here," Raeleigh said. "I'll sleep in the upper part of the bunk bed." Raeleigh then went to the upper bed. There were in fact eight beds in the room. All upper beds were stuffed full of things, except one of the upper beds. Raeleigh wanted to sleep on the upper bed as she felt that there would be more privacy.

As she climbed to the upper bed of the bunk bed, Scarlette handed Raeleigh a quilt. While she was at it, she glowered at Raeleigh before she left. "Serve you right," Scarlette thought. "Why the h*ll did you allow her to stay over?"

Scarlette got off the ladder of the bunk bed. Raeleigh lay down and covered herself with the quilt.

The lights were switched off. Everyone called it a night.

Raeleigh had a good night's sleep as there was absolute silence. She got up at five o'clock the next morning and went downstairs to freshen up. As soon as she was back at the dormitory, Jepherson called. He asked her to meet him as he was waiting by the gate of the school.

"What's the matter?" Raeleigh asked. Before she could manage to seek clarification from Jepherson, he hung up on her.

At the dormitory, Scarlette handed Raeleigh's laptop to her. "As per Mr. Jepherson's instruction," Scarlette said.

"Why though? Did he say anything?"

Raeleigh thought that there must have been some pressing matters. Otherwise, he would not have come over to meet her Tristany in the morning.

"Well, I'm not sure," Scarlette said. "Off you go. I'll inform Mr. Santiago." Scarlette left as soon as she relayed the message to Raeleigh. Raeleigh took her laptop and walked out of the dormitory.

There was quite a distance between the school gate and Raeleigh's dormitory. While she was making her way to the school gate, she bumped into one student.

As they walked past each other, their eyes met. That student gave Raeleigh a bizarre look. Raeleigh had a feeling that she had met her somewhere. She tried racking her brains but she could not remember if she had met her before.

After walking past her, Raeleigh turned around to look at her.

A few students could be seen whispering as they walked by.

"You know what, that new student over there is a member of the Cole family," one student said. "She's a certain Xandra Cole. I wonder how she is related to Quirina Cole. I don't think they're siblings though. I mean, they look like they're of the same age."

"They aren't siblings for sure," said another student. "The Cole family condones polygamous marriages. She's pretty. I think they're probably half-siblings."

"I thought so too."

"Regardless, she's one lucky girl. Not only is she beautiful, she is born into the Cole family. The world is her oyster."

Raeleigh overheard the conversation. Cole family? Xandra?

Raeleigh turned around and headed straight to the school gate. True enough, Jepherson was there. He was sitting in the car while Stuart was standing outside. Raeleigh looked into the car and saw Jepherson napping. She bent over and got into the car. "Are you travelling elsewhere?" she asked as she looked at Jepherson. Jepherson replied, "Nah."

"Well, then. Where are you going?"

"To the office."

"Office?"

Raeleigh kept silent. At that moment, Stuart had gotten into the car. Jepherson drove off and headed straight to his company offices.
