Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1058 Moving to the New House

Raeleigh helped Novalie settle down, and afterwards, she went back to their previous residence to pack up their belongings. She brought everything she could take with her. Their old house had not always been Raeleigh's, as it used to be rented from a landlord.

Jepherson instructed Raeleigh to bring her personal belongings while Scarlette accompanied her. Raeleigh was not allowed to do anything else. Scarlette found it strange when she looked at Raeleigh. Although Raeleigh's pregnancy was expected, she had not anticipated that it would have come that fast.

Scarlette thought that it was all too much. If Raeleigh had a child at such a young age, then what would her future look like?

"Raeleigh, are you sure you want to give birth to Mr. Jepherson's child?" When everyone else was walking ahead of them, Scarlette held onto Raeleigh's arm and asked her that. Raeleigh replied, amused, "What do you mean?"

"What else do I mean? You're so young. If you really have a child now, then you will have to take care of it and work at the same time. Are you going to give up on your job and have Mr. Jepherson financially support you?"

"Of course not. I'll save up enough before the child is born. I'll be able to support my child on my own. After I give birth to the child, Jepherson will supply the necessities like formula milk. I can crank out one or two designs per year and it'll be fine. Getting by in my daily life won't be a problem. As for my future, I've made my decision."

"Raeleigh, why don't you just settle down and have a comfortable life? Why are you working so hard? I've told Hadrian that I'll marry him if he can financially support us."

A disappointed Scarlette grumbled that Hadrian always ignored her when she said that.

Smiling, Raeleigh said, "Well, that's that. Why don't you just go for it?"

"It's all because of Hadrian. He ignores me," Scarlette muttered helplessly.

"That's all the more reason you shouldn't rely completely on him. I think Hadrian is a good guy who will persist in a relationship. He definitely has his own view on the matter. The main thing is you." Raeleigh looked at Scarlette, who stared back at her blankly. "What about me?"

"What are your true thoughts? What do you want? Do you want to be with Hadrian or do you just want the status?"

"Are you kidding me? Who doesn't want status? Of course, I truly want to be with Hadrian too. He slept with me, so he has to take responsibility for that."

Hearing Scarlette's reply, Raeleigh said, "It depends on the circumstances. Relationships are complicated. You say that Hadrian should take responsibility for you since you guys have slept together, but Hadrian may have regarded it as your fault that he does not need to be responsible for. Didn't you say that it was you who came onto him?"

At Raeleigh's question, Scarlette looked offended. "Even so, I paid the price. He didn't reject me, but now, he turns me down. Can you blame me?"

Raeleigh could not help laughing. "The process of love doesn't matter. What's most important is that you love each other in the end, no matter what you did, whether it's you who made the first move, or Hadrian, who has feelings for you. But you'll only make him uncomfortable if you act this way."

"So, you're saying that it's my fault." Scarlette stared at Raeleigh with her lips pursed. Raeleigh retorted, "What else could it be? When it comes to love, men love the chase. Your plan backfired. Now, he's gotten lazy. Do you understand?"

"No, I don't." Scarlette turned her face away, not wanting to continue the conversation. What else was there to say? It was all her fault.

After Scarlette left, Raeleigh turned back to look at the home where she had lived for many years. They lived there for at least six years. With that amount of time, it was natural that she had developed some affection for the place. A lingering nostalgia made Raeleigh reluctant to leave.

Raeleigh stood there for a while, with her eyes wandering around.

She had never thought of leaving that house. If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant or Xanthus' constant visits, then she wouldn't have left.

But as things were, Raeleigh had no choice but to leave this place.

After standing there for a while, Raeleigh got in the car. Jepherson was sitting inside, with Santiago in the driver's seat. The other staff members sat in their respective positions. When she got into the car, Raeleigh glanced outside with a reluctant look on her face. If she had the choice, then she would not leave, but the choice was not hers to make.

The car started and was driven away. Raeleigh leaned against the seat. Jepherson reached out to pull her into his arms, patting her on the back lightly. "If you want, then we can come back here after renovations are done."

Raeleigh looked up at Jepherson and said bluntly, "It'd be a different house by then."

Jepherson did not reply. What Raeleigh said had a reason for it. After the renovations, it would be different. It wouldn't be what Raeleigh wanted anymore.

Neither of them spoke further during the ride. Drowsiness overcame Raeleigh. It was a lethargic sort of sleepiness. She fell asleep soon after in Jepherson's arms. Jepherson had initially intended to bring her to A City in his search, but after seeing her tiredness, he could not bear to do so.

When they arrived at the new residence, Jepherson got out of the car first. Raeleigh woke up and followed behind him. However, Jepherson didn't head into the house. Instead, he said to Santiago, who was walking towards him, "Take care of your sister-in-law. There are two lives in her body now. Be more cautious."

"I understand. You can leave." Santiago stopped in his tracks and slid his hands into his pockets. He was the mercurial type, as wild as the wind.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. "Are you heading out?"

"Yes, I was going to take you there, but in your current condition, I think it's best if you stay here. Rest well. I'll be back in a few days," Jepherson replied.

He glanced into the house and Raeleigh asked, "Is it about that matter?"

"Yes, I'll go over and have a look. Based on your hypothesis, it's possible that that person is in A City. I'll visit Grandpa along the way." Jepherson had some spare time on his hands anyway. "You're visiting Grandpa?" Santiago was dying to see him.

"Yeah."

"I want to go too," Santiago butted in, but Jepherson insisted, "Stay here. I don't want to see you arguing with him."

Raeleigh thought that it was quite amusing. It sounded as though Santiago was raring for a fight.

"Okay, fine, you go." With that, Santiago went inside the villa. Raeleigh gave Jepherson one more look and said, "Take care."

"I will."

After kissing Raeleigh, Jepherson got into the car.

It was not until Jepherson had left that Raeleigh remembered the list that she had taken that time.

At the villa, Raeleigh arranged things in their places rudimentarily and took the list out. She examined the names on it carefully. It wasn't a blank piece of paper, after all. If she looked carefully, then she would definitely find something.

She might be able to crack the case.

Raeleigh was fatigued that day, so she soon put the list away to take a nap. She woke up in the evening and had dinner. After that, she wanted to head out.

Santiago asked Raeleigh, "Do you want to buy something?"

It was a new house, so there would certainly be things that Raeleigh wanted to buy. Scarlette had helped Raeleigh to pack her things, yet there were many items that haven't found their proper place. There had to be a reason as to why she hadn't finished packing.
