Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1078 Angry
Raeleigh made the first move. She walked over to the couch and sat opposite Deanna. Deanna wanted to ask Raeleigh where she was that late at night. Even if Raeleigh was not feeling well, she was with Jepherson. Why did she allow Santiago to carry her?
What was more, Raeleigh seemed to be fine. Why did Santiago have to carry her? What was going on?
Before Deanna could ask her questions, Santiago entered the house with a bag in his hand. It was something he had obtained from the hospital. Apart from the list of examinations done by the doctor, there were also some medicines.
As Raeleigh was pregnant, she had to watch her diet. She had to take supplements that were good for her and her baby.
"Serra." Santiago handed the bag in his hand to Serra. He glanced at Scarlette, who was yawning, as well as Hadrian. "It's late, why are you guys still awake?"
Scarlette pouted. She obviously wanted nothing more than to go to sleep, but Deanna was here. She was like a princess. Was it possible for her not to accompany her?
And there was also Zorion. Both him and Deanna were very insensible. What were they doing in the middle of the night in someone else's house? Scarlette really did not understand. She was slightly agitated. If Zorion wasn't from the Atkinson family, then she would have punched him long ago.
"I would have gone to bed if I could," Scarlette said. Deanna immediately bit her lip, indicating that she was wronged. Deanna did tell her to go to sleep, but Scarlette refused to listen. Right then, Scarlette made it seem like it was Deanna's fault that she was not allowed to go to sleep.
Deanna looked at Santiago with puppy eyes, wanting to explain herself. She neither knew what to say, nor did Zorion help her out of the predicament.
"Deanna did ask Scarlette and Hadrian to go to sleep, but right now, they are watching Deanna as if she was a thief. I have no idea what is worth stealing in Raeleigh's house."
Zorion's words stung Raeleigh. She froze for a moment and looked at Scarlette. She was afraid that Scarlette would say something she didn't mean.
When she thought of it, Zorion sounded like they were here to denounce them.
"Scarlette, why don't you and Hadrian go and get some rest? You too, Serra." Raeleigh wanted to dismiss the others back to their rooms. It was already the wee hours and they still had things to do the next day.
It was fine for the younger ones to stay up, but not for the older people. Staying up late was more tiring than a month's work. Raeleigh once heard that people who stayed up late were more likely to die Tristany.
Although Scarlette was reluctant to go to bed, she did not want to spend a single second with Deanna. So, she turned around and went back to her room.
Hadrian too made his way back to his room. The only person left was Serra. Raeleigh looked at Serra and said, "Go and get some rest."
Only then did Serra leave. She briefly said something to Santiago before making her way back to her room.
It was quiet in the living room. Santiago walked to Raeleigh's side and sat down, leaning against her.
Deanna's face suddenly tensed up. The couch was huge. She did not understand why they had to sit so closely together.
She also wondered why Raeleigh did not ask Santiago to move over.
Deanna suddenly became anxious. Neither Raeleigh nor Santiago moved from their spots.
Deanna could not help but to say, "Raeleigh, the couch is so big. Why do you two have to sit together?"
It would be fine if Deanna did not mention it. But upon hearing that, Raeleigh, Santiago, and Zorion turned to look at her. Only then did Raeleigh realize that she was indeed sitting very close to Santiago. So, she moved slightly away from Santiago. Santiago was amused. "Deanna, are you confused? Don't you know whose house you're in?"
Santiago looked unhappy. He didn't care if it was any other time and place, but they were now at Raeleigh's home. Deanna basically had no say in this house.
Raeleigh immediately turned to look at Santiago. "Santiago."
As his sister-in-law, Raeleigh had the right to tell Santiago to mind his own business.
Deanna had already misunderstood her and Jepherson, and yet another misunderstanding was about to happen. If this continued, then it would cause a dent in their friendship, and they could no longer remain as friends.
Santiago glared at Raeleigh. In Deanna's eyes, Santiago was not acting like a proper brother-in-law to Raeleigh. She was so anxious that she wanted to cry. "Zorion."
Zorion sat up straight in his seat. He calmly comforted Deanna. Then, he said to Santiago, "Deanna doesn't mean anything. You don't have to give her the cold shoulder. Just because there are no elders here, it does not mean that I don't have the right to discipline you. Don't forget, I may not bear the Harvey name, but I grew up in the Harvey Family."
"Deanna is right to remind you not to get too close to Raeleigh. You should be aware of your place in the family. You can sit next to Raeleigh, but you can't stick too close to her. Not only Deanna thinks it's inappropriate, I think so too."
Raeleigh did not expect that Deanna and Zorion would come into her house and say these kinds of words to them. They were p*ssing her off.
"Zorion, be respectful when you speak. Don't come into my house and throw mud at us."
"I'm not mad if Deanna was the one who said that, since she's naive. However, it's different if it's you. I know you want to defend Deanna, but make sure you get your facts right. Santiago is my brother-in-law. He is two years younger than Deanna. In my eyes, he is still a kid, but I believe that he knows what to do and what not to do." Raeleigh's face fell as she rambled. Zorion was stunned for a moment as he looked at Raeleigh. "I neither said anything nor did I throw mud at you. I'm just pointing out a fact. Even if he is your brother-in-law, he should still maintain a respectful distance."
"And since when did he not? We've been out and about for the entire night. We spent the majority of the night at the hospital because he thinks I am not feeling well. He had to carry me over to the hospital to get examined. He is just exhausted, so that's why he just plopped down beside me. We were also sitting like this in the hospital. Who are you to come here and tell us what to do? Do you really think it is appropriate for you to do this?"
Raeleigh was growing very unhappy. It didn't matter to her if Deanna said those words as she was naive, but not Zorion.
Deanna felt aggrieved at first, but she became speechless when she saw that Raeleigh was getting mad. She even felt a little annoyed. How could she doubt Raeleigh?
When Raeleigh noticed that Zorion was silent, only then did she turn around and explain to Deanna, "I wasn't feeling well, and that's why Santiago brought me to the hospital. Maybe there are some things that made you misunderstand the relationship between Santiago and me, but rest assured, there is nothing going on between us."
Deanna was relieved when she heard Raeleigh's words.
Raeleigh then turned to look at Santiago before making her way back to her room.
Santiago rose to his feet and made his way upstairs. He was furious.
