Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1160 Take Her Along With Him to the Underworld

Raeleigh didn't get much rest throughout the night. She only fell asleep in the morning. Jepherson got up Tristany to fetch some water outside, wash the towel, and ask someone to send Raeleigh's clothes there. It seemed that nothing had happened, but Raeleigh knew that it would never be the same again.

Jepherson had been bottling up something, and he refused to spill it out, come what may.

When Raeleigh woke up after eight o'clock, she went to wash up. By the time she returned, Jepherson had arranged the dishes for breakfast. It wasn't until she sat down that she remembered Stuart, whom she hadn't seen in the past two days.

"Where is Stuart?"

Sitting opposite him, she asked. Jepherson, who was wearing a white shirt and clutching some cutlery and bowls, handed them to Raeleigh. "I'm concerned about Santiago, so I asked Stuart to go with him." Raeleigh shot a look at him in perplexity. He had sent all the people around them away. What in the world was he going to do?

After breakfast, Jepherson went to the doctor and inquired about Raeleigh's state. Her condition was very stable and she was allowed to be discharged from the hospital.

"The doctor said that you can be discharged from the hospital. Shall we leave now?" asked Jepherson. Raeleigh thought momentarily. "Then, let's go. Do you have a lot of stuff to work on? If you are busy, then you can send me back..."

"I'm going to the company. If you want to go, then you can come along."

"Then, I want to go to the company."

They talked and left the hospital together. Xanthus couldn't rest easy, so he followed them. After coming out of the hospital, they got into the car while Xanthus stalked them from behind. Sitting in the car, Raeleigh didn't feel anything wrong. However, the chauffeur didn't take the usual route. Later, Raeleigh also found that someone was tailing them.

Somewhere along the way, Raeleigh realized that Xanthus had been left behind.

Raeleigh stole a glance at Jepherson, who was holding her hand, and explained, "Xanthus and I are friends. I think he is a decent man. He told me that I look like his sister, which is why he took me as one." Jepherson held Raeleigh's hand. "Xanthus did have a younger sister. But, according to my investigation, she is dead."

Raeleigh was dumbfounded for a second before she raised her head to gaze at Jepherson. "You've investigated it?"

"I won't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Raeleigh... don't trust others easily, especially male strangers." Jepherson held Raeleigh's hand even tighter. Raeleigh didn't know what to say, so she kept silent. When the car arrived at the desNorahtion, Raeleigh took out her phone and sent a text message to Xanthus. Jepherson walked in front of her and confiscated her phone. He did not look at Raeleigh's text message, but he displayed his domineering demeanor, which was enough to intimidate Raeleigh.

"I just don't want him to worry about me."

"What's there for him to worry about when you're with me? You're my girlfriend, what's there for him to worry about?"

Raeleigh remained silent for her own sake.

With that, her phone was placed in Jepherson's pocket. With his overbearing attitude, she had no choice but to obey him.

After entering through the door, she followed him and signed her registration at the reception. Jepherson stayed on the ground floor for a few minutes before he walked towards the elevator with her. Once they entered the elevator, he pulled her hand over to him. She stared confusedly at him and couldn't figure out what he was doing.

Back in the day, in the presence of outsiders, he always wanted to hold and hug Raeleigh in his arms, as if he wanted to announce to the whole world and let everyone know that Raeleigh was his, to keep every other man away from her.

However, at that moment, when they entered the company offices, he walked in front of her, intentionally keeping a distance from her. His hands did not come into contact with hers either. When they got into the elevator, however, he could not wait to hold her hands.

Stepping out of the elevator, they headed for his office. He took off his blazer and gestured for her to sit. After that, he turned back to his chair while Raeleigh sat down on the couch for a while. She watched Jepherson operate the computer and start to get busy.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Raeleigh stood up and tried to lend him a hand. He moved the mouse. "No, I'm good. You didn't sleep well. Take a rest. I will accompany you when I'm done with my work." "Then, I'll go and see Mr. Lamarre." Raeleigh stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and went out.

Jepherson took a look at the door and reopened the browser tabs. He began to stare blankly at the news regarding the many painless methods of terminating a pregnancy.

Consequently, his expression gradually grew more gloomier.

After browsing for some time, he slumped into his chair. He raised his head and closed his eyes. Then, he loosened the collar of his shirt and breathed hard.

Raeleigh visited Lamarre. Although she was reprimanded by him, she was still very cheerful.

Raeleigh stayed by Lamarre's side for the entire morning. Jepherson called her and asked when she would like to have lunch. Raeleigh told him that she would not go back in the afternoon because she wanted to keep Lamarre company during lunch.

"Then, I'll book a place and pick you up later."

"Alright."

Raeleigh agreed and stayed at Lamarre's place the whole time. At noon, Jepherson still hadn't come over. Thus, she got up and went to find him.

"I'll go and check, and I'll pick you up later." Lamarre was also busy when Raeleigh left. He waved his hand, signalling her to go first while he didn't follow her.

Raeleigh went all the way back to Jepherson's office. When she arrived at the door of his office, she knocked on the door, but no one responded. She pushed the door open and went in to find that there was indeed nobody in the office.

She looked around the office. Her phone was still on his table, so Jepherson should not be too far away from the office.

Raeleigh walked around. She intended to take a look at the phone on the table. Unexpectedly, she touched the mouse, after which the monitor lit up.

It was also the first time she had found that the screensaver set on Jepherson's computer was her photo. To be precise, it was a photo of her sleeping.

Sitting down, she took a careful look at this photo. She double-clicked the mouse and tried to recall the password which Jepherson would normally use. She tapped a few times on the keyboard, and it was unlocked as expected.

However, she was reeling in shock with what had been shown before her eyes.

There were more than twenty tabs on the browser, all of which were world-class hospitals renowned for their painless pregnancy termination procedures, as well as the experts in this field.

For a moment, Raeleigh felt as though she had been plunged into a deep valley.

After briefly sitting down, Raeleigh stood up slowly. She accidentally bumped her hand on the table, which caused the phone to drop from the table. She hurriedly caught it and put it down. Afterwards, she glanced at her bruised arm, walked to the couch in a daze, and sat on it.

Jepherson came back after a while. When he entered, he was surprised to see Raeleigh. He walked to her side. "When did you come back?"

Raeleigh raised her head to look at him. "Let's break up. I'll get rid of the baby myself."

Jepherson sat down. "What did you just say?"

"I said let's break up. Xanthus and I..." Raeleigh pursed her lips for a long time before she continued to say, "I found that I've taken a fancy to Xanthus. He also promised me that he would take me to leave this dangerous place and settle down abroad. I don't like large families like yours, and I hate being disturbed by the Cole family. I long for a tranquil and peaceful life."

"The child is mine. You don't have the right to..."

"The baby is in my belly, I will consider keeping him. But now, I am sorry. Xanthus has proposed to me. I'm contemplating accepting his proposal. He doesn't mind even if I have a child." As Raeleigh spoke, she stood up. She could not bear staying here any longer.

Jepherson got up and pulled her back. He held Raeleigh in both of his arms, tightly. "The child is mine. I have the right to decide whether to keep it or not. Why would you want to leave?" Raising her head to gaze at him, she tried to push him away with her hands. "You said the child is yours, but no one can prove it. If it belongs to Xanthus, then what are you going to do?" Jepherson frowned deeply. "That's impossible."

"I am the child's mother, and he's in my belly. Nobody can prove it before he is born."

"Cut the cr*p."

"I'm not talking cr*p. I'm just feeling unwell. Anyway, I have an appointment with Mr. Lamarre today for lunch. If you don't let me go, then he will come to look for me. By then, things are going to get ugly." Only then did she push him away. Her pace was slow when she turned around and left, but still, she went out.

Jepherson followed her. Outside the door, he pulled her over and held her face tightly, which was wearing a cold expression.

Giving a wry smile, Raeleigh wanted to leave.

Those that were unattainable were always the best. Things would not be as marvellous as they used to be when people had obtained them.

If the child was gotten rid of, then there would be nothing left between the two of them.

Walking to the elevator, she stopped and requested for her phone. "Give my phone back."

Jepherson was mystified. "You didn't have a phone just now. How did Xanthus call and talk to you?"

Raeleigh did not explain. "Of course there's a way. I won't tell you everything about me. Now, I have nothing to say to you. Give my phone back to me, or else Mr. Lamarre will make fun of me." "How is he going to make fun of you?" Jepherson came closer to her, but she stepped back. He approached her again, and she retreated again. Her back was against the wall. Jepherson simply pressed himself onto her. The fetus was in the Tristany development stage and her belly was still in a normal shape. It would be fine even if he did so.

Raeleigh's breathing grew heavier. She had long been accustomed to his body. As soon as he approached her, she would be turned on. Moreover, this would happen from time to time.

Sometimes, she would also ponder if she had fallen in love with his body first, or him as a person first.

To this date, she hadn't figured it out yet.

"How is he going to make fun of you?" Unknowingly, Jepherson lowered his head and wanted to kiss Raeleigh on her lips. However, when he got close to her lips, he avoided them, and kissed the other part of her body instead. She was turned off in an instant. She looked up slowly. "Nothing. Let me go. I'm going to have lunch. I'm hungry."

"What if I don't let you go? What are you going to do?" Jepherson said, pulling her hand and placing it around his waist. He lowered his head and looked into her clear and deep eyes, and it made his breathing unsteady.

Without waiting for Raeleigh's reply, he kissed her on the cheek and everywhere on her face, except for the lips. Finally, his eyes fell on her lips. Raeleigh's breathing became heavier while she was gazing at his lips. Initially, his lips had already landed on hers, but he shifted them slightly at the last minute. As a consequence, they landed on her nose. After that, he held her in his arms, as if there was a sharp pain in his heart. He said, "Even if I am wrong, there's no turning back for me. If I am going to die and will go to h*ll, then I will take you along with me."
