Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1084 A Gap

Raeleigh briefly looked at Jepherson and said, "Since you're planning to stay the night, do you want to take a bath? I'll go and start the bath." Raeleigh stood up and made her way into the bathroom. However, Jepherson got up and held her from behind. He kissed her neck and said, "Why don't you join me?"

Jepherson's voice was low and hoarse, full of desire. Raeleigh did not know what was wrong, but she felt a sharp pain in her heart and could not utter a word.

After a long time, Raeleigh raised her hand to stop Jepherson from touching her. She turned around and said to Jepherson, "I am feeling a little unwell. I spent the entire day playing poker. Let's not do it today.' Jepherson wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head to kiss her nose and lips. He stared deep into her eyes but she did not dare to look at him. She avoided making eye contact with him, not willing to reciprocate.

After Jepherson kissed her, he sighed and said, "Alright then, since you're tired, then you should have a good rest. I'll go and take a shower."

Jepherson let go of Raeleigh and walked towards the bathroom. Raeleigh turned around and watched as he entered the bathroom. She followed him in. She had intended to set the bath for him, but as soon as she entered, she realized that he was about to take his pants off. When she saw this, she immediately turned her face away.

Jepherson turned around to look at her. "What's wrong? It's not like you've never seen it before."

Raeleigh immediately walked out of the bathroom. "I'll be outside."

"Be careful!" Jepherson was really worried about the baby.

Raeleigh walked out of the bathroom and closed the door. She stood at the door, expressionless. After a while, Raeleigh walked back to the bed, sat down, and touched her belly. "What if..."

Raeleigh shook her head. It would not be by chance. How could it be so coincidental?

Raeleigh took off her clothes and went to lie down. She pulled the quilt over her body and stared at the ceiling. She needed to calm down. Otherwise, she would break down.

A few moments later, Jepherson emerged from the bathroom, clad in a white bathrobe. Raeleigh heard him coming out of the bathroom, so she turned her head towards his direction. He was drying his hair as he made his way to the bed. As soon as he got on the bed, he got on top of her, kissing her lips.

Raeleigh neither dared to move nor did she refuse. Jepherson gently pried open Raeleigh's mouth with the tip of his tongue, intertwining his tongue with hers. Raeleigh closed her eyes, not daring to open her eyes.

She did not want to make eye contact with him. She was afraid that he would be able to see through her eyes.

After kissing for a while, Jepherson finally pulled away from Raeleigh. He nestled against her and gently placed his hand on top of the quilt. She then opened her eyes and held his hands. "We should go to bed Tristany. Don't we need to head into the office tomorrow?"

Jepherson held her hand and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "No, I'm just exhausted. I had to entertain so many people today, especially Zorion, Deanna, and Scarlette. For some reason, Scarlette keeps picking a fight with Deanna." "Alright then. You should get some rest." Jepherson got up from the bed and continued drying his hair. Then, he put on his pyjamas. By the time he turned back around, Raeleigh had fallen asleep with her back towards him.

Jepherson got back into bed and pulled Raeleigh into his arms. He hugged her from behind. However, when Raeleigh felt his gestures, she froze for a moment.

Jepherson lowered his voice and asked, "Is this prenatal syndrome?"

Jepherson gently ran his hand along her body. He put his hand under her clothes and on her belly. Raeleigh said softly, "I'm sorry."

Jepherson chuckled. "If that's the case, then it's me who should apologise. I was the one who made you a mother at such a young age."

Raeleigh shook her head. "No, it's not your fault. It's mine."

Raeleigh felt quite uncomfortable then. The more frightened she was, the more confused she would be, hence the more she did not know what to do.

"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something else." Jepherson hugged Raeleigh and asked, "I remember you said that you wanted to contact the orphanages online, have you done it yet?" Raeleigh closed her eyes and tried to calm down. After a while, she shook her head. "No, not yet."

"You should cut back on your work since it makes you tired. I'll talk to Mr. Lee about it. You have classes to attend every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Not only that, you have to work every Tuesday and Thursday. The only time you get to spend your day at home is during the weekends. Now that you're pregnant, I think it's best that you cut back on your work lest it affects the baby. As for Santiago, I'll think about it."

"About Santiago, it's not like what you think. It was really an accident. I was careless..." Raeleigh quickly explained, but she knew that Jepherson already knew it.

Jepherson laughed. "I was indeed angry, but if it were other people, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Raeleigh did not know what to say, so she remained silent.

Neither of them spoke. Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms and soon, she fell asleep. When he realized that she was finally asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief. He kissed Raeleigh's shoulder, reached over, and turned off the lights. The two of them fell into a deep slumber that night.

Jepherson woke up Tristany the next morning. When he left the room and headed downstairs, Raeleigh was still fast asleep.

Santiago was wearing a vest and shorts. He was running around with his puppy. Jepherson emerged from his room and as soon as he saw his brother, he immediately shouted, "Santiago!" Santiago stopped and turned around to take a look. Jepherson walked over to him, looking at him with an unfathomable gaze. At that point, Santiago was nTristany as tall as him.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"You saw everything. What else is there to say?"

"It's good that you know." Jepherson did not care about what happened the day before, but he was indeed very angry at that time. For a moment, he did not regard Santiago as his younger brother after he saw the way Santiago looked at Raeleigh.

It was just that after he had calmed down, he looked at the matter more rationally.

The brothers chatted as they took a stroll around the courtyard. Jepherson asked him whether anything had happened to Raeleigh in the past few days. Santiago informed him about their trip to the hospital and how she had been in a bad mood recently.

After that, they went back into the house.

At that time, Raeleigh was walking down the stairs with Deanna chatting behind her. Deanna asked whether she would be heading over to the university that day. It was obvious Raeleigh was feeling a little annoyed as Deanna sounded like a bee buzzing around her ears.

Santiago stopped. "Well, someone does not look like she's in a good mood."

Jepherson glanced at Santiago. "If it weren't for Deanna, then she would not be like that."

"Pfft!" Santiago then made his way to the bathroom to wash his hands. After that, he walked over to the dining table, ready to have breakfast.

Serra had already prepared breakfast. When she saw Jepherson and Raeleigh, she immediately brought out the food.

Raeleigh brought her grandmother's food upstairs, so that Novalie did not need to come down. Furthermore, Deanna was around and Novalie did not want to see her.

Novalie was not fond of Deanna. It was not that Deanna was a bad person, it was just that she was from a wealthy family. She acted as if the whole world had to pander to her requests.

After entering Novalie's room with the food, Raeleigh did not immediately go back downstairs. Instead, she stayed and accompanied her grandmother as she ate.
