Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1150 Pick Cynthia Up

"I know that you have your own views, but Raeleigh is a person. You can't be rude to her," Xanthus said after Raeleigh went into the kitchen to fetch some soup. Santiago, who sat opposite him, took a bite of his food and refuted, "That's my problem. Mind your own business."

"I won't care about you, but there's no way for me not to care about her." Xanthus' face was filled with displeasure. Santiago shot him a glance and said, "You can care about her all you want."

Santiago did not give in to Xanthus at all, and Xanthus was so pissed that he stopped eating, but when Raeleigh returned to the table, he hurriedly picked up his cutlery and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Raeleigh placed the bowl of soup in front of Xanthus and Santiago. Xanthus drank a mouthful of soup before putting it down. The two men pretended that nothing had happened, but Raeleigh sensed the tension in the room.

Raeleigh sat down and began to eat. During that period of time, she did not speak. Xanthus and Santiago remained silent as well. After dinner, Raeleigh told Xanthus that it was time for her and Santiago to take their leave. Xanthus quickly offered to drive them back home.

Scarlette had been waiting for Raeleigh outside the house. She was relieved when she saw Raeleigh in Xanthus' car.

Scarlette immediately ran over to Raeleigh as soon as she stepped out of the car. She wanted to know why Raeleigh came back so late.

"Dr. Osteen needed some help over at his house. I happened to be of use, so I followed him home. After that, he invited us to stay for dinner."

Raeleigh briefly explained and glanced at Xanthus. Santiago, on the other hand, had already entered the house. Scarlette tilted her head and pondered. Was Santiago one who would randomly enter anyone's house?

It was so strange.

"Thank you for sending us back." Raeleigh thanked Xanthus. He smiled and said, "I have to go now. Scarlette, it looks like your legs have recovered well. Why don't you swing over to my place tomorrow when you have the time? I'll give you a quick examination."

After saying that, Xanthus entered his car and drove off. Raeleigh watched Xanthus leave and breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad to know that she was not Jepherson's sister. If she was, then she really did not know what to do.

"What time did you reach home?" Raeleigh asked Scarlette as they made their way back into the house. Scarlette informed her that she had arrived home at noon. As soon as they entered the house, Raeleigh ran to her grandmother, hurriedly telling Novalie that Xanthus was her brother. Novalie knew that Raeleigh was glad to have found her family member when she saw the wide smile on her granddaughter's face "Raeleigh, that's great! Promise me from now on that you'll smile more. You've been acting like a grumpy old lady." Novalie advised Raeleigh, "Or else, you're going to scare Jepherson away."

"I wasn't grumpy. What are you talking about, Grandma?" Raeleigh said coyly. Novalie chuckled and patted her bed. "You can bunk with me tonight. Is Jepherson not home yet?"

"Grandma..."

"I get it. You can still bunk with me when he comes home, right?" Novalie was amused. If Jepherson was home, then Raeleigh probably would not be there with her. They were practically inseparable. How was it possible that she would even want to bunk with her own grandmother?

Raeleigh went to take a shower before returning to her grandmother's room. When she entered, Novalie was already lying on the bed. So, she went and lay beside her grandmother. Just then, Novalie said, "I haven't seen Jepherson recently. Did something happen? Have you managed to find Deanna?"

"Not yet." Raeleigh turned over and hugged her grandmother. "I don't know what happened to him either. He didn't tell me."

"If he didn't tell you, then it doesn't mean you can't ask him, right? You can't expect him to tell you everything. It doesn't work like that."

"I'll call and ask tomorrow." Raeleigh was about to fall asleep when Novalie said, "You'll never make your call since you're saying this. He might have returned by tomorrow. Why can't you call him now?" "Fine, I'll call him now." Raeleigh got out of bed and went to make a call to Jepherson as she was told.

In fact, Raeleigh was planning to call him even if Novalie did not mention it. However, she had intended to call him after her grandmother fell asleep. She did not expect that her grandmother would urge her to call him at once.

"You, youngsters."

"I really don't understand what's going through your head. I'm a little tired. I won't continue talking to you anymore. You should go and call him. I'm going to sleep."

Novalie immediately closed her eyes as soon as she finished her words. Raeleigh was afraid of disturbing her, so she got up and left her grandmother's room. She dialled Jepherson's number as she made her way back to her own room.

On the other side, Jepherson had spent the entire day lying in bed with his eyes fixed on the ceiling. He had not eaten for a few days, and Hudson was worried that he would starve to death, so he called the family doctor over to give Jepherson a nutrient injection to ensure that he would remain healthy.

When Jepherson heard his phone rang, he picked it up and looked at the caller ID before putting it down once more.

Raeleigh called several times but no one answered. In the end, she gave up.

After lying in her bed for a while, she snuck back into her grandmother's room.

After Raeleigh entered the room and lay down, Novalie opened her eyes and asked, "Didn't he answer his phone?" Raeleigh froze for a moment. "No, he did not. Maybe he's not in the country and is probably busy with work at this time." "Did he go abroad?" Novalie continued to ask. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "I actually have no idea."

"Why don't you ask someone who knows? Since you can't reach him, others might be able to get through to his phone." Novalie was really worried about her granddaughter's emotional well-being. Her baby's father had disappeared, but she was not anxious at all. If that did not concern her, then she had no idea what might.

Raeleigh thought for a moment. "Santiago has no idea where Jepherson is either."

"He can choose not to come home, but you must know where he is. You must also find out what's troubling him. It's not a good look since he disappeared without a trace, without notifying anyone. Santiago is not God. You can't rely on him to know everything about his brother, and you should take the main responsibility. You need to know how to handle this matter. Since Jepherson did not answer his phone, you can try calling Stuart. If he does not answer, then you can try asking Scarlette to call him. There are a lot of ways to work this out."

Raeleigh paid lip service to Novalie's words. The next day, Raeleigh did not make the call.

One reason was, Raeleigh knew that he was in Harvey Manor, but not the one in Capital City.

Secondly, Raeleigh had no idea what was going on. If he chose not to answer his phone, then she could only wait for him to return her call.

After breakfast, Santiago brought Raeleigh out with him, and Scarlette wanted to tag along as well. However, when she saw the look in Santiago's eyes, she immediately changed her mind.

In the end, Scarlette chose to stay at home.

After Raeleigh got into the car, she turned to look at Scarlette and said, "Stay at home, alright? I'll be going over to ask about Deanna. Santiago said there's some news about her, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I know."

Scarlette agreed. Then, Raeleigh followed Santiago over to the Cole family residence. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the manor, Santiago quickly got out of the car in search of Cynthia. Soon after, he managed to find her, along with Yanora.

Santiago opened the door to the front passenger seat, motioning for Cynthia to get in. Raeleigh was sitting in the back. Of course, Yanora, too, had to sit in the back.

It was only when Cynthia entered the car that she realized that Raeleigh was also in the car. When she saw Raeleigh, she froze, feeling a little awkward.
