Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1079 Subtle Beauty

Raeleigh watched as Santiago made his way back to his room. Then, she turned to look at Zorion and Deanna, asking, "What are you guys still doing here at this hour? Is there something I can help you with?" Zorion let go of his hold on Deanna and sat to one side. He briefly glanced at his sister, motioning for her to talk.

"It's nothing. It's just that I feel bored without you and Scarlette in school, so I decided to come and visit you. I heard that you moved to a new home," Deanna said casually. Raeleigh felt that she was not telling the truth.

"It's already the wee hours of morning. I'm a little sleepy. Why don't you head home first? If you have anything to say..."

"Raeleigh, can we live here?" Before Raeleigh finished her words, Deanna cut her off. Raeleigh did not know what to say. They had plenty of spare rooms in the house. Since Deanna wanted to live here, it was impossible for her to reject her request.

"The two of you can stay in the guest room." Raeleigh stood up and planned to show Deanna and Zorion the guest room upstairs. In fact, there were a lot of people living in the house and there was only one room that was not occupied.

"I have only one guest room upstairs. That's the only room left. Are you sure you want to live here?"

Raeleigh stopped and asked the siblings. Deanna hurriedly said, "Zorion and I can share a room, right, Zorion?"

"Yes," Zorion replied with a smile. He had always agreed to his sister's requests.

Raeleigh felt helpless. What else could she do then? They did not look like they wanted to go home, so Raeleigh had no choice but to show Deanna and Zorion the room.

Raeleigh led Deanna and Zorion into the guest room upstairs. "The sheets and quilt covers are clean. Rest assured. We bought them a few days ago and they had been washed." Raeleigh knew that the Atkinson family had high standards. They paid particular attention to the necessities of life. She had to point out to them that the sheets were clean. "Raeleigh, why don't I bunk with you tonight and I'll let my brother have this room. I have something to ask you," Deanna said as she grabbed Raeleigh's hand and acted like a spoiled child. Raeleigh was in a dilemma. She did not want to bunk with Deanna because she was pregnant. It would be very troublesome.

"It's almost dawn. I need to get some rest. If I wake up Tristany tomorrow morning, then I'm afraid that I'm going to disturb you if we share the same room." Raeleigh did not know how to refuse her directly, so she had to come up with a good reason. Deanna thought for a moment and said, "You're right. Then, I'll bunk with Zorion tonight, so that I won't disturb you. Go ahead and get some rest."

After saying that, Deanna took a brief look around the room and made herself comfortable.

When Raeleigh saw that Deanna had no complaints, she left the room. Zorion followed her out of the room, wanting to talk to her.

"Deanna has always been rather naive, but she has no ill intentions. I'm sure you know how she feels about Santiago and I have no objection to it. I hope Santiago will stay by Deanna's side. That's why I brought Deanna over."

Raeleigh looked at Zorion. "Although Santiago has a bad temper, I know that he is a good person. Since you think they are good for each other and have no objection, then I have no objections too, but..." Raeleigh suddenly thought of Cynthia. She realized that Santiago hadn't mentioned her recently. This matter seemed peaceful on the surface, but it did not mean that nothing had happened. She had a feeling that something must have happened.

"But what?" Zorion was very serious. Raeleigh thought for a while and said, "It's just that you cannot control one's thoughts. Although you are Deanna's brother, you cannot control her feelings. It's best if you le her figure it out on her own. No one can force Santiago to do anything, let alone Deanna. Whether he will be with Deanna in the future, it's up in the air."

"I think it's better if you let their relationship develop naturally."

There were some things Raeleigh did not know how to explain. She felt as if she was going in circles.

In the end, she had no idea what she was talking about. She hoped that Zorion would be able to understand that not everything can be achieved by force.

Especially when it came to dealing with people like Santiago.

"Raeleigh, is there something you want to tell me?" Zorion asked Raeleigh as his gaze became deeper and deeper. Raeleigh immediately shook her head and said, "No."

"You can call me or text me if you have anything to tell me. I know that relationships will not be easy with Deanna's character. But I am her brother, and I hope that she will be happy."

"So do I. I hope that Deanna will be happy."

Raeleigh smiled and said, "Go and get some rest."

After saying that, Raeleigh turned around and went back to her room, still feeling a little helpless.

She went and lay down on her bed. Maybe she was tired, so she did not think about the orphanage. However, that night, she dreamed about herself and the little boy at the orphanage. She was very depressed and lay in bed in a daze after waking up.

She placed her hand on her belly. They made this baby together. If she were to give birth, then what happened if...

"No, it's impossible." Raeleigh shook her head. "It wouldn't be that much of a coincidence," she thought to herself.

Raeleigh woke up at eight o'clock in the morning. She got out of bed and made her way into the bathroom to wash up before heading down for breakfast.

It was a weekend. Raeleigh helped her grandmother out of the room, so that they could have breakfast together.

However, there were too many people in the house that day and it was very crowded at the dining table. After having breakfast, Raeleigh accompanied Novalie out to the yard.

As soon as they were out in the yard, Novalie asked Raeleigh whether she had investigated the issue with the orphanage. However, Raeleigh did not answer. She just accompanied her grandmother as they strolled in the yard.

The weather at the moment was the best amongst the four seasons of the year, but it could not stop the autumn wind from rolling up fallen leaves.

Raeleigh looked at the leaves in the courtyard. It was a small mansion. Although it was a little small, it contained everything. There were all sorts of plants in the yard.

It was not known whether it was a coincidence or not. There was a big tree on the east side of the yard and it was growing well. Right then, it was in-between seasons and the leaves were starting to fall. When the wind blew, leaves would fall from the tree, reminding them that autumn was around the corner.

Tristany autumn gave off a strange feeling. Some might find it hard that summer was over, but they would still feel pleasant that autumn was finally arriving after such a long time. Some might find it hard because the leaves and beautiful flowers were falling and wilting away.

But no one can change the flow of the changing of the seasons.

It was the same for the rising and setting of the sun.

Seeing Raeleigh in a daze, Novalie said, "Sooner or later, you'll have to face the truth. As long as you keep a positive mind, you'll be able to deal with it."

"It's not your job to be a yes-man."

After hearing her grandmother's words, Raeleigh could not help saying, "But I'm afraid to know the truth. If it really happens, then I really don't know how to continue."

"We have to take care of it at the very least," Novalie said.

Raeleigh was silent for a moment. "Let me think about it."

"Take your time to do so but remember not to dwell on it for too long. Autumn will be here before you know it." Novalie looked up at the falling leaves. She did not know what was beautiful and what was not beautiful. After all, in her eyes, the world was not a beautiful place.

She was born into a poor family, so she suffered a lot when she was young. When she grew up, she got together with a man who did not appreciate her. Once again, she had to live in suffering.

If she were to look back on her life, nothing really stood out.

However, her greatest achievement in life was raising Raeleigh. Was this considered an achievement?

Maybe it was a kind of subtle beauty.
