Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1054 Santiago's Love Life

Raeleigh woke up from her nap. Jepherson was sitting opposite her, deep in thought about something.

When Raeleigh opened her eyes, Jepherson immediately turned his gaze from the window to her. He got up to help her up. It amused Raeleigh. She told him, "I can take care of myself. I'm just pregnant. Do you need to be this fussy?"

Jepherson didn't say anything. He merely lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked at him in confusion. What was he doing?

"My parents left," Jepherson informed Raeleigh as he helped her sit up and poured her a glass of water. Raeleigh took the glass. Looking puzzled, she asked, "And?"

"And I'm very disappointed," Jepherson said curtly. Raeleigh could tell that he was in a bad mood.

"Why are you disappointed?"

"It's not fair to you." Jepherson had guessed that his father would leave, but he had not expected his mother to go along as well.

Raeleigh wore a smile as she asked, "What's the big deal?"

Jepherson could not wrap his mind around her reaction. "Aren't you sad?"

"What should I be sad about? Your parents have their own lives to live. It's clear to me that your father doesn't like your mother doing things for me. It's not that your mother doesn't like me. She must have beer whisked away by your father." Raeleigh did not want to blurt it out, but it was indeed her true thoughts on the matter.

The couple was enviable indeed.

Jepherson's mood inexplicably brightened. With great interest, he asked, "How did you know he had taken her away and she didn't leave on her own?"

"I don't think your mother would do that. She would inform me, at the very least. However, your father would definitely consider it a chore that may stop him from leaving. Therefore, he took your mother away, so that you two can't meet face-to-face, let alone think of a way around it."

"My Dad is too arrogant. Since I was young, I've always felt that he was jealous of my brother and me. He wants my mother to belong to him alone. No one can snatch her away from him."

Jepherson kept a sombre face while Raeleigh laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Jepherson asked.

"There'll always be tension between a father and his son. He loves you, but he is absolutely possessive of your mother. I understand that."

"What's there to understand?" Jepherson stood up and went to get a drink for himself as well. He smiled silently to himself. Raeleigh was one of a kind.

Raeleigh felt completely fine by the time afternoon rolled around. After she was discharged, the two went to a hotel. There, Raeleigh mulled over her drawings and finally made some changes. She immediately informed Lamarre as soon as she was done.

In Raeleigh's timezone, it was late at night, but it was only nine o'clock in the morning for Lamarre. Lamarre accepted the video call and examined the revised drawings which Raeleigh had sent to him. He seemed completely satisfied.

"Brilliant work. From today onwards, you will officially become my student. When you're back, you can sign up here," Lamarre said. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Jepherson got up and sat down beside her. Raeleigh had to hand over the phone to him.

"I will explain the details to you later on. Something has happened to Raeleigh and I won't allow her to be rushed about from one place to another. I hope you'll understand. The only thing she has now is this. I will hand it over to you. I will bring her back when her physical condition stabilizes."

"No problem, but Raeleigh still has to report to me. I won't rush her about. Don't worry."

Lamarre immediately hung up. Raeleigh had not anticipated Lamarre's quirky temper.

After a long while, Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Jepherson informed her, "Your achievements these past few years have been outstanding. There are too few independent creators. My mother and him are both the cream of the crop. He had mentioned that he wanted to transfer over, but my mother got the position first. In order to accompany me for a few more years, she personally guided me and brought me to work. Plus, I entered the workforce very Tristany, so he couldn't get me anymore."

"Your results are the best of all the recruits after me."

"It's normal for him to want to recruit you. When I brought you over here, he probably thought that my mother had snatched you away too. He was very worried."

"You mean, Lamarre wants to have me as his student?" Raeleigh felt puzzled. Was it possible?

Jepherson laughed. "It's normal. You just have to meet someone who understands and admires your talent. You'd still shine in this field without him, but he would be a fool not to recruit you. He could not accomplish greater things on his own."

Lamarre won a lot of awards throughout his life. When it came to car designing, he would forget about food and even his family. He is crazy for it."

"In the Tristany years, Deanna had wanted to be his student, but he rejected her. Deanna cried for a few days after the rejection."

"He is evidently very strict about the students he would accept."

"One of the reasons he was so eager to have you is because of your creation, Lanox. Another reason is because I'm interested in you and would personally guide you."

"Lamarre is not a fool. He will cherish a diamond when he finds one."

"Since I broke the rules and wanted to teach you myself, he realized that your talent needed a bigger platform. When signing into the company, there was a rule that if any designer liked a new student, as long as there was no formal mentorship, then they would be transferred to the designer's care in order of seniority. Although I am the vice president with full rights to represent my father, the rules cannot be broken or else, the company members won't stand for it."

"Lamarre simply took advantage of that and made things difficult for you when you joined. But he needs talent like you, so you have nothing to worry about. Many people have dreamed of following in Lamarre's footsteps. Take Deanna as an example. She even dreamed of having Lamarre as her mentor, but Lamarre didn't pander to the Atkinsons at all," Jepherson concluded.

"I don't think Deanna has the passion for this." Raeleigh spoke her mind.

Jepherson said with a smile, "Indeed."

Raeleigh looked over, waiting for Jepherson to continue. Jepherson took the prompt and went on. "Deanna liked fashion design since she was a child, but our family has been selling cars for generations. As we grew up together, she still likes me. She's actually working very hard, but I..."

Jepherson said no more. Raeleigh smiled. "It's because Deanna is just the right age for a younger sister. I guess that's why you can't leave her alone and you've treated her as your own sister from childhood. But Deanna was doing just fine with Zorion looking after her. Plus, Deanna wanted you to be her boyfriend. And one thing led to another."

"It did indeed." Jepherson laughed. Raeleigh knew everything.

A thought came to Raeleigh's mind. "Deanna's interested in Santiago now, did you know?"

"I do, but he can decide on his own. I don't want to meddle in his love life. Santiago wouldn't want a relationship like that."

Jepherson looked perfectly calm, and his gaze revealed a thousand expressions. Knowing that Jepherson understood all that was going on, Raeleigh dropped the subject there.
