Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1142 Great Escape

"Then, you can start preparing the food. I'm going to lie down for a while. Call me when it's ready." Jacky then made his way upstairs. Deanna looked around to see if there was any firewood to start a fire. After washing the pot and placing the potatoes in it, she went outside to gather some firewood. The weather that day was somewhat chilly and gloomy. Deanna could not handle the cold, and her face was beginning to turn red.

It did not take long before she came back with a pile of firewood in her arms. She placed the firewood underneath the stove before lighting it up. Once the fire was big enough, she started to cook the potatoes. She would then sit by the fire to warm herself up while waiting.

Once the pot began to boil, Deanna briefly glanced at the time and felt that the food should be ready. She then put out the fire.

After waiting for the pot to cool down, Deanna took out the potatoes and served them on a plate. She brought the plate to the table and yelled for Jacky to come down. When Jacky descended the stairs, he was stunned when he saw Deanna's present appearance.

At that moment, Deanna was wearing a pair of shoes that barely covered her feet and a torn shirt. Her hair was wrapped in a piece of cloth, and her entire body was covered in dirt. Somehow, even ashes from the pot managed to get onto her face.

Jacky paused for a moment on the stairs. She was indeed a fool.

He could not help but to wonder, why was Zorion so smart, but she wasn't? Were they even from the same family?

Jacky continued walking down the stairs over to the dining table. At that moment, Jacky was wearing a long-sleeved shirt. He seemed warm and comfy in it, and Deanna was envious of him. She did not even own any proper clothes. How could she not be envious?

Jacky grabbed the chair and sat down. Deanna was practically akin to being his slave. She walked over to Jacky and stared at him from the side. If Jacky did not give her permission to sit down, then she would not dare to sit.

"Come and eat. After that, you can go ahead and boil some water," Jacky said as he took a potato and began eating.

Deanna had cooked six potatoes in total. When Jacky finally gave her permission, she immediately reached over for the largest potato. Once she finished it, she took a medium-sized one before devouring a third.

Jacky frowned and muttered in his heart, "She's such a fool. She only knows how to eat."

"Are you full?" Jacky asked Deanna. She hurriedly nodded her head. She was afraid that Jacky would get angry if she took too long to reply to him.

"Go and boil some water for a warm shower." Jacky got up and went outside. He stretched and briefly looked up at the sky. It seemed like it was going to rain soon. It was most likely that the lady and the others would not be coming home that day.

Deanna went out to gather more firewood so that she could boil some water for Jacky's shower.

Deanna knew that the water must have been too cold for him earlier, so that was why he wanted a hot shower.

She was envious of him!

After the water was boiled, Jacky brought a basin out and instructed, "Pour some water into the basin."

Deanna obediently filled the basin with water, scoop by scoop. Then, she looked at Jacky and lifted her eyebrows.

When she was done, she quietly informed him. "I'm done."

"Go ahead and take a shower," Jacky said as he walked to the side. He sat down and waited for Deanna to take a shower. When Deanna heard his words, she was so frightened that she immediately broke ou in cold sweat, cowering in fear.

"There's... there's no need for that. I... I don't need a shower. I'm good." When Deanna first arrived, she was not even willing to wash her face. If it weren't because Jacky had ordered her to do so, then she would not even want to wash her face.

Crouching in a corner, Deanna was depressed. What if... What if something happened? What should she do?

"You're fine with it, but I'm not. Hurry up and take a shower. Otherwise, I'll help you." Jacky shot a displeased look towards Deanna. She hesitated for a long time and did not move.

Then, Jacky pretended to stand up. Deanna was scared out of her wits and quickly turned around to take a shower. She entered the bathroom and shut it tightly before using a rope to bind the door. Only then did she relax and finally take a shower.

Deanna quickly got into the water barrel after taking off her clothes. She wanted to shower at once in case Jacky came in and took advantage of her.

Deanna showered with her back facing the door. That way, if Jacky came in, then he would not see anything. In the end, Jacky did come in. Furthermore, the rope that Deanna used to bind the door snapped as soon as he pushed the door.

Jacky pushed the door open and paused to glance at the rope attached to the door. He did not know what to say when he realized that she had used a weathered rope to bind the door. Deanna indeed lacked intelligence.

Jacky lifted his head to look at Deanna who was in the water barrel, who then turned around. She looked at him, dumbfounded, while exposing half of her chest. Jacky's eyes subconsciously fell onto her chest.

Deanna slowly lowered her head and instantly let out a scream.

Jacky quickly threw the clothes in his hand to one side before saying, "Put this on before you come out."

With that, he turned around and went outside. He closed the door behind him and smiled.

At that moment, it had already begun to rain. Jacky walked over with his hands on his waist as he stood at the entrance, enjoying the cold and gloomy wind and rain.

It did not take long before Deanna emerged from the bathroom. She stood at the door, dressed in Jacky's loose clothes. His shirt was way too big for her. It was so oversized that she basically looked like she was wearing a dress.

Upon hearing the sound, Jacky turned around to look at Deanna. He saw her standing by the door as she bit her lip, blushing intensely. After sizing her up for a while, he walked over.

When Deanna saw Jacky coming over, she hurriedly took two steps back. Jacky stopped and said, "You're quite bold. How dare you move away from me?"

Deanna's lips squirmed. "I wasn't."

"Then, what were you doing?" Jacky lifted his eyebrows. His voice grew a little louder, causing Deanna to tremble in fear. She hurriedly retorted, "I was just moving to the side." Jacky was speechless. He wanted to laugh at her words.

When Deanna did not say anything, Jacky walked past her and headed upstairs. "It's going to rain tonight. It'll probably be cold. Come back upstairs instantly once you've poured the water away." Upon hearing Jacky's words, Deanna felt as though she had been given a reprieve. She hurriedly poured the bathwater away, closed the doors and windows downstairs, and opened them again. She then stood at the door and looked outside.

Jacky waited for a long time and saw no signs of Deanna. His patience was wearing thin. When he could no longer wait, he walked to the landing of the stairs and found her looking outside. His voice boomed all of a sudden. "What are you doing?"

Deanna was so frightened that she suddenly ran out into the rain. She was immediately drenched, and the hot shower she had just taken ended up being a waste.

Jacky walked down the stairs and stood at the entrance of the stairs, glaring at Deanna. At that moment, she seemed like Cinderella from the fairytale as she stood in the rain, not daring to return home. Jacky's face darkened, "Aren't you planning to come back in? Are you going to stand there in the rain?"

Jacky had initially wanted to coax Deanna to come back in, but he was furious at how stupid she was. For a moment, his tone was somewhat stiff. Deanna could not comprehend it, so when she heard his tone she realized that he must have thought that she had wanted to escape.

As soon as the thought crossed Deanna's mind, she turned around and fled in fear.

She could not escape previously. Furthermore, the old lady wasn't around that day, and it was raining heavily outside. Jacky might not be able to catch up to her.

Deanna felt that it was a perfect opportunity to escape, so she turned around and ran as fast as she could. Her shoes were hindering her from speeding up, so she quickly stopped and got rid of them before continuing on with her great escape.
