Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1075 Broke Out in Cold Sweat

The day after was the weekend. Jepherson planned to stay at the Ink Garden at Harvey Manor to spend some time with Paige. Raeleigh, on the other hand, did not need to go to the office. She could use the two days to rest and spend some time with Novalie.

Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms as they exited the house. He lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh. By the time they pulled away from each other, she was out of breath.

When Jepherson let go of Raeleigh, she shot him a glare and said, "People are going to see us."

"And what's wrong with that?" Jepherson asked as he lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh again. Then, he let go and said, "Please take care of yourself these couple of days. Stay home and rest. Do not go anywhere."

"Alright. I get it." Raeleigh promised. However, as soon as Jepherson left, she suddenly remembered that she had not gone to visit the owner of the burger joint yet.

Raeleigh thought for a while and wondered, should she meet up with the owner?

When she got into the house, Raeleigh watched TV and thought that since Santiago had just arrived home, it was a little inappropriate to call Jepherson to ask him whether she could go out to meet the owner of the burger joint. So, she asked Santiago, who was watching TV, "Santiago, I want to go out. Is it alright?"

Santiago cast Raeleigh a glance and asked, "What for?"

"Remember someone died a few days ago? I think the court has a verdict on Wouter. I want to have a look."

"There's no need for that. He has been sent to prison. He has admitted that he was ordered to kill the man. But if the court continues to interrogate him, then he's going to lose his mind. He has now been sent to a psychiatric facility. You're pregnant. It's best for you to stay at home," Santiago said indifferently. Raeleigh stood there in a daze and took out her cell phone to call Jepherson. At that time, Jepherson had just arrived at Harvey Manor and was getting out of his car. He picked up Raeleigh's call as he walked towards the Ink Garden. He stopped and asked, "What's up? Have you already missed me? That's quick!" Raeleigh blushed. Ever since she confirmed their relationship, he had turned into a glib rascal.

Each time, he would say something that made her blush and her heart race.

Raeleigh stood up and said, "I have something to ask you."

"I want to hear you say that you miss me." Jepherson was in a good mood, and he couldn't help teasing her. He knew that she was probably hiding in her room, blushing furiously. At the thought of that, Jepherson's heart throbbed.

Stuart looked around and knew that he had to stand guard while Jepherson was on the phone.

Raeleigh bit her lip and remained silent. She quickly made her way to her room before she said, "You're such a smooth talker."

"Does that mean you don't miss me?" Jepherson was amused as he continued teasing her.

"Why would I miss you? You just left not too long ago." Raeleigh locked the door and made her way to the bed. She was afraid that Scarlette would suddenly barge into the room.

"When are you going to start missing me? At night? Or in the middle of the night? Maybe next morning?"

The more Jepherson spoke, the more excited he became. Stuart blushed. Why was Mr. Jepherson such a sweet talker? Was he not afraid that others would overhear his romantic conversation? Who did Jepherson think he was?

Raeleigh pursed her lips. "You're such a rogue."

"I am and I can be worse. Do you want to hear it?"

"No." Raeleigh pretended to be infuriated. In fact, at that very moment, her face was flushed, and her heart was pounding in her chest. Jepherson was having fun teasing her at the moment and wanted nothing more than to go back and see her angry face.

"Then, you're not allowed to ask me any question. I'm going to hang up now."

"No, don't..."

Raeleigh hurriedly stopped him. Then, Jepherson said, "Call me your 'hubby'."

Raeleigh was speechless and did not say anything. She was blushing intensely, and her heart nTristany jumped out of her chest. How could she call him 'hubby' when they were not even married yet? Why was he behaving that way?

"You're not going to call me 'hubby'? Fine, I'm going to hang up now."

Raeleigh pursed her lips and finally called out after a long time, "Hubby."

Jepherson was stunned for a moment. He felt as if something was clutching at his heart. His grin turned even cheekier. Stuart inadvertently turned around and caught a glimpse of his face. He wondered what Raeleigh had said to him to make him smile so lasciviously.

"I can't hear you. Your voice is so soft, and you sound so stiff. I want to hear it again. Be gentler this time."

Stuart was about to throw up.

Raeleigh hesitated for a long time before she finally said, "H-hubby."

"That's right."

Raeleigh took a deep breath. "I want to ask..."

"Do you miss me?" Jepherson continued to be overbearing. Raeleigh was about to break down. "You've gone too far."

"If you don't miss me, then it's fine. You don't have to say that I've gone too far."

Raeleigh rolled her eyes, but she was the only one in the room.

Raeleigh said all of a sudden, "Of course I miss you."

Jepherson was somewhat satisfied. "That's good."

Raeleigh frowned and felt conflicted.

How could a man do that?

She simply could not understand.

"What's the matter?"

When Raeleigh heard his question, only then she remembered that she just wanted to ask him about Wouter. She totally did not expect him to flirt for so long. Raeleigh raised her free hand and rubbed her temples. She reminded herself not to get angry because it was bad for the baby's health.

"I want to know if what I heard about Wouter is true or not. I heard from Santiago that Wouter pleaded guilty to the murder of that man. But then again, Wouter seems like a good man. Why would he do such a thing? Is there a misunderstanding? Or perhaps, they were not able to find the murderer, so they used him as a scapegoat?"

In fact, Raeleigh suspected that the nurse was the one who did it, but it was just that she could not simply accuse her.

"He's not a scapegoat. This matter was set up at the beginning. They found out about you investigating the orphanage. In addition, I have been investigating this matter for so many years. That's why they came up with such a scene. Only you can believe it."

Jepherson sounded as if he was complaining, so Raeleigh's mind suddenly went blank. "So, the information I found at the Public Security Department is fake?"

"Is that information genuine?"

"Then, you..."

"I'll follow up closely. Please do not take any risks, or else, I'm going to punish you," Jepherson spoke righteously. Raeleigh asked, "You'll punish me?"

"Why not? It's so dangerous, and you did it discreetly. You're lucky that nothing happened. What would happen if something bad occured?"

Raeleigh did not speak, but she was moved by his words.

Jepherson could have found a better partner with his status and identity. Why did he have his eyes on her?

"Have a good rest and don't mess around. I'll deal with these things."

"Alright." Raeleigh agreed. Then, Jepherson said, "Good night."

"Good night," Raeleigh said. Then, she put down her phone and lay on the bed. She did not think much about Wouter, and she could not help but to wonder, was Jepherson's sister indeed in that orphanage? Raeleigh lay down and fell asleep in a daze. She dreamed about when she was ten years old.

In the dream, all the children were sitting in the backyard of the orphanage. Raeleigh and another boy had just gotten out of a car. All of them carried a small backpack and a doll. The boy beside her burst out crying as they walked. He turned around and even wanted to go back. The boy was one year older than her and was also slightly taller, but he was a crybaby. He had been crying all the way, and it made her want to burst into tears as well.

They followed a lady to the yard of the orphanage where the children were gathered. The lady named Madam Caprice placed her hands on their shoulders and said, "Hey kids, we have two new friends who will be joining us from now on. They're transferred here from another orphanage as the orphanage couldn't continue operating. Let's give them a warm welcome, shall we? From today onwards, we have to treat them as family, alright?"

Madam Caprice stood aside as the kids came over to greet her and the boy. The crybaby was still crying...

Raeleigh suddenly opened her eyes and broke out in cold sweat.

"No, that's impossible! It's impossible..."
