Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1090 She Was Afraid of Being Seen Through
Santiago did not know what to do as Raeleigh cried in his arms. He stood there, frozen in his steps. Then, he slowly raised his hand and wrapped his arms around Raeleigh as she cried. The crowd around them was just staring at them. The younger people were afraid of Santiago. No one had any idea what was going on when he suddenly shouted a while ago.
The old man was not afraid of Santiago. He pointed to Santiago and said, "Your girlfriend is afraid to go through with the surgery. She is not willing to do it. You, as her boyfriend, are very irresponsible for forcing her to go for the surgery. How dare you yell here? And your parents, how have they raised you?"
It was rare for Santiago not to say a word. He looked pale. Santiago glanced at the people around him before he bent down to pick Raeleigh up and turned to leave.
Raeleigh kept on crying. She could not express the grievance in her heart. Santiago did not say anything and carried her straight back to the car.
Santiago placed her at the back of the car. He looked at Raeleigh through the rearview mirror and asked, "What the h*ll is going on?"
Raeleigh lowered her head and gradually stopped crying, but she did not answer his question.
Raeleigh did not know what to say. What would happen if she told people about her situation?
Raeleigh was in pain, alone. If she had told Santiago, then he would definitely confront Jepherson. At that time, both of them would be in pain. It was already painful enough for Raeleigh. She did not want Jepherson to blame himself for this matter.
After crying for a while, Raeleigh wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Don't tell your brother what happened today. I don't want him to know that I'm afraid to give birth."
Santiago furrowed his brows. He already had a face that resembled a demon. However, his straight face made him look even more like a demon.
"What's there to be afraid of? You're not a man." Santiago gave Raeleigh an angry stare. If Raeleigh hadn't been keeping a secret, then she would have laughed at his words. However, she could not bring herself to say anything. She could not even muster a smile. She was a little worried about facing Santiago like this.
Santiago always had a boorish behavior and he looked like he couldn't care less. However, his shrewdness was no less than Jepherson. He was born in a prominent family like the Harvey family, yet he could endure the humiliation and shape such a pathetic image for himself in Capital City. It was easy to imagine how scheming he was.
How many people in this society were fools?
Raeleigh believed that there would not be any.
The Harvey family was rich and powerful. If Calvin had allowed his sons to take their separate paths, then it meant that their family was no ordinary family. Raeleigh lowered her head and said, "I don't know."
Santiago paused for a moment before saying, "Even if you're not sure, it's not right of you even to consider terminating the pregnancy. If my brother finds out, then you'll have to bear the consequences." Santiago had purposely said that to scare Raeleigh. She raised her head to look at him with a pale face. She was aware of this as well. She knew that if Jepherson found out, then she would not be able to bea the consequences.
It would have been fine if Raeleigh was involved in this matter alone. What worried her the most was that Jepherson would be in more pain than her.
Jepherson had been looking for his sister for so long yet he still could not find her. What happened if they had committed incest? What were they going to do? Raeleigh sighed. There was no way out of this.
Their baby was the most pitied one in this matter. They were made out of love, yet they could not come to this world because of love. It was extremely cruel!
Raeleigh wore a terrible expression on her face when thinking of this. She touched her belly and felt a lump in her throat. She wanted to cry. For a moment, she felt that she had exhausted all of her energy. There was no one who could save her. What was she going to do?
"If you go back home looking like this, then Jepherson is going to kill me," Santiago said. Raeleigh froze for a moment and she then looked at him. "Are you kidding me?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Santiago said as he pushed the door open and got out of the car. As soon as he opened the car door, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He then lit a cigarette and started smoking.
As he smoked, he raised his head and exhaled. Raeleigh looked out of the car and saw Santiago's figure. Not to mention other girls, Raeleigh, too, was sometimes infatuated with Santiago. It was no surprise that Cynthia liked him and decided to help him without hesitation.
Raeleigh knew that she had put Santiago in a difficult situation. She opened the door and looked at him. "Don't tell your brother. I'll slowly adjust my state of mind."
Santiago turned around and looked at Raeleigh. He then said, "Are you really moody because you're afraid to give birth?"
Santiago asked in all seriousness. Raeleigh was not used to his serious attitude. After all, she was too used to his indifferent attitude. When Santiago wore a cold face, Raeleigh suddenly felt pressured. "Of course, what else could it be?" Raeleigh asked. Her answer amused Santiago and he asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Raeleigh did not say anything. She could not even smile. She just gulped.
Raeleigh felt a little nervous when Santiago was serious. She felt that he was able to see through her.
Surely enough, Santiago said, "No matter what happens, I hope you can tell me. I will do my best to help you with it. Otherwise, if you try to solve it on your own, I'm sure something bad will happen. I can't stop caring about you for the sake of my unborn niece or nephew."
Santiago inhaled a puff of smoke and turned to lean against the car. Raeleigh calmly stood on the opposite side as she watched Santiago's retreating figure. For some reason, she felt more and more desolate. Raeleigh did not know what was wrong with her. She suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.
If Jepherson was her older brother, then it would mean that Santiago was her brother as well. They were a family.
According to what Jepherson said, the reason she ended up in an orphanage at that time was because of a misunderstanding. It was the man who saved their mother who orchestrated all of this.
At the thought of Belle's smiling face as well as her caring eyes, Raeleigh felt her heart bleeding and her entire body trembled.
How would Raeleigh ever dare to see Belle again in this state?
Raeleigh quietly entered the car and sat on one side until Santiago came back.
Santiago then started the car and drove her around the city. When they returned, it was already dark.
Jepherson made a phone call to Santiago to check on their whereabouts before he made his way to the gate, awaiting their arrival. When he saw Santiago's car pulling up to the gate, he glanced into the car and saw Raeleigh sitting in the car with a blank stare. It was as if she was having a long dream.
Santiago stopped the car by the gate. Jepherson walked around the car to Raeleigh's side and looked at her. He was afraid that he would frighten her, so he gently called out her name.
Raeleigh froze for a moment before coming back to her senses.
Only then did Jepherson open the car door and bend over to kiss Raeleigh. He reached into the car and carried her out of the car.
Santiago cast a glance at them and made sure the car door was closed before driving off.
