Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1118 Ravage Scarlette
Raeleigh woke up before Jepherson the next morning. She wanted to get out of bed before he did. However, just as she was about to get out of bed, she felt Jepherson's hand reach over and pulled her back into bed.
"Aren't you tired from last night?" Jepherson had just woken up. He sounded a little groggy. Raeleigh lay back on the bed, saying, "I just wanted to check on Scarlette."
"You're ditching your handsome husband to go and check on Scarlette?" Jepherson chuckled softly. Raeleigh did not know what else to say, so she told him about what happened the night before. Only then did Jepherson understand.
"Lie down for a while. I think you shouldn't interfere with their problem. Scarlette will figure it out. They've been together for quite a while. Hadrian really needs a change. He's too cold towards her," Jepherson said, taking Raeleigh's hand. Then, they went back to sleep and only woke up at noon.
After Raeleigh got up, there was only one thing that made her feel depressed. Recently, she had been out of routine. She didn't even know when she should rest or when she should get up.
While going down the stairs, Raeleigh took a look at the lower floor. Although Scarlette was injured and had to stay in bed, Hadrian wasn't downstairs either. The only person she saw was Stuart. Hadrian was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as Raeleigh saw Serra, she asked Serra whether Scarlette had eaten anything. Serra forced a smile and said, "They haven't come out of the room, and I did not want to disturb them." Raeleigh turned around and glanced towards Scarlette's room. "She should at least have something to eat. Where's Hadrian?"
"Hadrian hasn't come out yet." That was the first time Serra had seen Hadrian slap Scarlette, and that was also the first time he had spent the night in her room. However, the two of them did not come out for breakfast that morning. If Hadrian did not come out, then who knew what he was doing there? Furthermore, Serra had heard a loud bang coming from Scarlette's room. Everyone was feeling very awkward. "Is he still inside her room?" Raeleigh was also surprised. She had long heard complaints from Scarlette, saying that Hadrian was never to initiate things between them. It was always her who went looking for him first, and all they would talk about were private matters.
It was because of this that Scarlette would always complain to her. Even Raeleigh knew what was going on.
Raeleigh looked at Scarlette's room. It seemed that it was a little inappropriate for her to check on them. However, if they did not come out, then what about breakfast?
"Stuart, why don't you check on them?" Raeleigh said, looking at Stuart. He started to blush. How could he have done such a thing?
However, at that moment, Jepherson came down the stairs. Although Stuart was embarrassed, he could only bite the bullet and knock on Scarlette's room door. "Scarlette, it's time to eat."
Stuart knocked twice on the door. Scarlette immediately got up from the bed. However, Hadrian quickly pressed her down on the bed and rolled on top of her. Scarlette's face darkened as she said, "Are you done yet?"
Hadrian lowered his head and covered her mouth. He quickly kissed her before pulling away. He looked at the door and said, "We'll be out in a second."
Stuart turned and said to Jepherson, "Hadrian says that they will be out in a second."
Jepherson turned around and went to the other side of the table. He sat down and waited for Hadrian to come out. However, Hadrian only emerged from Scarlette's room after Jepherson began eating. He closed the door and walked over to Raeleigh and Jepherson. "Mr. Jepherson," Hadrian called out.
Jepherson did not raise his head. He was enjoying his breakfast. Raeleigh was sitting opposite him calmly. When he lifted her head, her eyes met with Hadrian's, and she saw some marks on his neck. She immediately knew what had happened the night before. She couldn't help looking at Scarlette's room. It surely did not look like Scarlette had forced him the night before.
"What's the matter?" Jepherson asked as he ate. Hadrian thought for a moment and asked, "Has Miss Atkinson been found yet?"
"Not yet, but it's not a big deal. She ran away by herself. So, tell Scarlette not to worry."
Jepherson gave Raeleigh a piece of ham. Now that she was pregnant, she needed to eat a lot of nutritious food. Therefore, there were many dishes on the table. This was Jepherson's request. Hadrian was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "Mr. Jepherson, there's something I want to tell you."
"Go ahead," Jepherson said as he ate his oatmeal. He took a napkin and wiped his mouth. Then, he raised his head to look at Hadrian with an indifferent gaze.
Hadrian said without hesitation, "I want to marry Scarlette."
Raeleigh was speechless. It seemed that Scarlette was going to break up with Hadrian a day ago and yet that morning Hadrian said that he wanted to marry Scarlette. Things were taking a turn to what she had expected.
"If you want to get married, then why are you telling me this on your own? Where's Scarlette?" Jepherson sat upright in his chair with his legs crossed.
Hadrian thought for a moment and said, "We've been together for two years. We were just too young to get married. That's why we did not mention this to you. She's been asking me to marry her, but I never said anything. Now, I want to marry her, and I hope that you can grant my wish."
Raeleigh felt that this matter was a little strange.
Raeleigh took a look at Jepherson, and surely enough, he did not agree.
Jepherson lowered his head and said, "Relationships shouldn't be one-sided. Scarlette had indeed come to me, saying that she wants to marry you, but I did not agree. I will not agree now either, since you're the only one who came to me. Why don't the two of you discuss this properly before you come to me again?"
Hadrian thought for a moment and said, "Scarlette belongs to me. Mr. Jepherson..."
"It's not the same. You two are different from Raeleigh and me." Jepherson asserted dominance. Hadrian had no choice but to say, "I'll talk to Scarlette."
"Then, let's eat first." In the end, Jepherson did not agree to Hadrian's request. Hadrian then brought his breakfast into Scarlette's room to eat.
After Hadrian entered the room, Raeleigh asked with a smile, "What does he want to do? Is he placing Scarlette under house arrest in my house?"
"No, he isn't." Raeleigh scorned at Jepherson's unreasonable attitude. "I don't like you when you're like this."
"Then, what do you like about me?" Jepherson laughed and leaned to the other side. Raeleigh looked at Scarlette's room and said, "I don't know what's going on, but it'll do more harm than good to keep Scarlette confined in her room."
"That's their business. If they don't experience these things, then they will not grow up. Did you see Hadrian's possessiveness? He's worried about Scarlette leaving."
"I think he is very selfish." Raeleigh pouted. She looked really adorable when she was worried about Scarlette. Jepherson was stunned. He stared at Raeleigh without saying a word.
Raeleigh stood up and walked over to the couch. Jepherson followed her and the two of them sat down together and waited for Scarlette to come out of her room. They were also waiting for Xanthus to come over.
In the end, Scarlette did not come out.
Perhaps, it was Hadrian who did not allow Scarlette to leave the room.
"You can leave now," Scarlette said as she lay down on the bed. She thought back to that morning where Hadrian suddenly undressed her while she was still asleep. He nTristany drove her crazy.
And right then, Hadrian neither allowed her to get out of bed nor put on any clothes.
"We'll go out together when you're done. I'm browsing some rings now. I want to buy a ring." Hadrian sat on one side and scrolled through his phone. He was checking out some websites that sold jewelry and wedding gowns.
Scarlette felt that Hadrian was out of his mind.
"You don't have to blame yourself for the slap. I don't really care about it."
Hadrian looked down and said, "But I do."
Scarlette gritted her teeth and said, "It must be a joke."
Hadrian looked at Scarlette with his head tilted. He was different from his usual self. At that moment, Hadrian looked like a domineering CEO who was going to ravage Scarlette any moment.
