Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1145 Owed Him Something in Her Past Life
On the other side, Santiago put his phone away and looked at Raeleigh. "He should be fine. He's at Harvey Manor." "So, he's fine because he's there?" Raeleigh looked at Santiago. She was slightly relieved when she heard his words.
"What can happen to him? My grandfather treats him like a treasure. He should be fine. If you're worried, then I can bring you there to check on him." Santiago spoke as if he was telling the truth. Raeleigh immediately shook her head and said, "There's no need for that."
Raeleigh turned around and sat down. She guessed that he probably needed some space. Therefore, she decided not to look for him. If he needed her, then he would come back on his own. Besides, she did not dare go to Harvey Manor as there were too many people around. Regardless of what identity she used, it was still better to stay at home.
Raeleigh sat down and fell silent. Santiago, too, took a seat. He remained silent as he waited for Raeleigh to say something. However, she did not say anything. Although she was a little sad, she did not blame Jepherson.
He probably had an unsolvable problem, and a person like Jepherson would definitely want to deal with it on his own. earlier, he went to find his sister. He was probably frustrated that he still could not find her. He had put in so much effort, yet he still could not find her. If it were her, then she would have been frustrated as well. She knew that once he got over it, he would come home.
Raeleigh felt as if she and Jepherson were slowly drifting apart. It was as if he was beyond her reach.
Both of them were the kind of people who loved to keep their problems to themselves. That was their greatest flaw.
Raeleigh said nothing after sitting there for the entire day. The next day, Raeleigh was woken up by a call from Xanthus, asking her to go out. Raeleigh hesitated for a moment. Scarlette did not need any more injections and recovered at a speedy pace. Not only that, she and Hadrian would spend the entire day locked up in the room, arguing. Occasionally, sounds of objects breaking could be heard. It seemed that Scarlette had recovered faster than expected.
Every day, Hadrian would cook a lot of nutritious food for Scarlette. That was the first time that Raeleigh realized that Hadrian cared so much about Scarlette.
"I have a class to attend later. I will not be heading into the office for a few days." Since Jepherson had not been going to the office, Raeleigh felt that it was unsuitable for her to head over as well. A couple of days ago, she had been absent-minded because, at that time, she wasn't sure whether she was Jepherson's sister. Thankfully, Jepherson had already informed Lamarre, so she was slightly relieved. She still had not completed the first trimester of her pregnancy. She did not have a baby bump yet, so she could still attend class.
"Alright then, let's meet up at the university." Once they agreed to it, Raeleigh hung up the phone.
With that, Raeleigh made her way down to Scarlette's room and knocked on the door. After a long time, Hadrian finally emerged from the room wearing a black shirt that exposed his chest. He said to Raeleigh, "What's the matter?"
"I'm looking for Scarlette. I'm planning to head over to the university, and I want to check whether she'd like to come with me. That way, Dr. Osteen might be able to examine her wound."
Raeleigh took a look inside and realized that Scarlette was dressed and ready to go. However, she still seemed somewhat unpleasant and was unwilling to forgive Hadrian. It seemed like Hadrian was playing hardball and was very controlling of her. Scarlette did not even have the right to speak up for herself.
If Jepherson was around, then he might have been able to help Scarlette. Unfortunately, he wasn't, and Scarlette was left to defend herself. At that moment, she was at Hadrian's mercy and was controlled by him.
"I'm fine now. I'm coming with you." Scarlette immediately exited the room when she saw Raeleigh. Hadrian looked at her and said, "You're not fully recovered yet."
"So what? It has nothing to do with you. I'm warning you. You'd better take away your belongings, or else..."
"Or else what?" Before Scarlette could finish her sentence, Hadrian turned around and glared at her. She immediately kept quiet, pursed her lips, and snorted. Then, she walked out of the door, dragging Raeleigh along with her.
Raeleigh turned to look at Hadrian, who did not follow them. She initially thought that he would leave them alone, but after breakfast, he emerged from the room with a jacket in hand. Raeleigh sat down and looked at Scarlette. "You're no longer a kid. Stop throwing tantrums."
"Raeleigh, let's not talk about this anymore. I really need some space." Since Scarlette had said that, Raeleigh decided not to meddle with her business.
After breakfast, Scarlette and Raeleigh made their way to the university. Santiago naturally followed them. Meanwhile, Hadrian was tailing them from behind, in a black sports car.
On the way to the university, Scarlette's expression gradually turned more and more displeased. She had no idea what was wrong with Hadrian. Out of nowhere, he decided that he wanted to enrol inthe university and made a special request to have the same classes as Scarlette.
That day was his first day at the university, and he decided to drive a limited edition car from the Harvey Group. Although that car came out two years ago, it was enough to attract people's attention. Back when it was first released, Scarlette was so envious and wanted to take a ride in it. However, Hadrian refused no matter how hard she begged. Right then, he decided to drive it out. She had no idea what his intentions were.
Scarlette gnashed her teeth in anger. Raeleigh, who was sitting right next to her, had a strange look on her face. Was there a need for such a reaction for a car?
When they arrived at the university, the two cars successively pulled into the parking lot. When Scarlette came out of the car, she did not even bother to look at Hadrian's car. Raeleigh had a helpless look on her face when she noticed that. She could not help but to wonder, who Scarlette was mad at?
Santiago seemed unperturbed. He got out of the car and whistled. He put his hands in his pockets and swaggered forward, calling Raeleigh to follow him.
Raeleigh, of course, immediately followed him. Santiago was basically her bodyguard. Who else would she have followed if not Santiago?
Raeleigh asked while walking, "Is there any news about Deanna?"
"I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything from Zorion. However, I know that he's been transferring money to the kidnapper, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger. I have a feeling that he has contacted the kidnapper, but he doesn't want us to intervene in this matter," Santiago said with a smile as if something interesting was happening. Raeleigh looked up at him. "In fact, you're partly responsible for Deanna running away."
Although she was partly to blame, Raeleigh still felt that it was mainly Santiago's fault.
He clearly knew that Deanna liked him, but he still chose Cynthia over her. Although no one could control his feelings, Raeleigh still felt that Santiago had crossed the line. Santiago paused for a moment. He turned around to look at Raeleigh with his eyebrows lifted. "What do you mean?"
"You're partly responsible for Deanna running away. You knew that she likes you, but you chose Cynthia over her. Even if no one says anything about this, even if you don't act so decisively, Deanna will find out sooner or later, so she will naturally suffer a lot. However, you're not soft-hearted at all. I don't think it's appropriate for you to act in this way."
"I did not ask for your opinion. Plus, it's none of your business," Santiago said while shooting Raeleigh a disdainful glance. Raeleigh wasn't mad, but she looked unhappy. She turned around and left.
Raeleigh really did not know how to handle a person like Santiago. She must have owed him something in her past life. That was why in that life, he had to make things difficult for her. Especially his sharp and vicious mouth. He was neither easy-going nor polite.
She was a woman. She could definitely not win an argument with him. However, if she did not refute him, then she would feel annoyed!
