Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1167 Sleep Separately

Jepherson was none too pleased to hear that. "You know, Raeleigh hasn't offended you in any way."

Zorion glanced at Raeleigh and laughed. "She hasn't offended me alright, but I didn't do anything to her. I just told her not to block my way."

"I know very well how you treat Raeleigh. I just want to warn you that there won't come a day when you'll be able to do anything to her."

"So what if I do something to her? What can you do to me?" Zorion retorted. Raeleigh went near Jepherson and pulled him. "Forget it. Let's go. Since Deanna is fine, Scarlette can be at ease too. Let's go back first. We have no business here anymore."

Raeleigh had a very bad feeling at that time. She felt that Zorion was going to make a clean break with them since Deanna had been found.

It was Santiago who had found Deanna, but Zorion hadn't expressed his gratitude at all. Raeleigh thought it was too ungrateful of him to have said those harsh words.

Nonetheless, Raeleigh didn't want them to stir up trouble and quarrel over her. That was why she pulled Jepherson from the seat.

Jepherson passed through the corridor with Raeleigh in his arms. He stopped after a few steps and turned back to look at Zorion, who remained seated. "Nobody wants to find fault with you. Something is already wrong from the very beginning. I also regret it."

Jepherson left with Raeleigh after he finished his words. Only then did Zorion turn to stare at his back.

Santiago walked up to Zorion. "Be careful."

Zorion looked up at Santiago, who had already left. "Mind your own business."

Santiago did not look back. He turned around and walked to the other side. After that, he followed Jepherson and Raeleigh into the elevator. As the door of the elevator was closed, Raeleigh said, "You didn't have to pick a bone with him."

Jepherson shot a glance at her. "He was in the wrong."

"For certain shameless people, you don't need to treat them with civility and respect," Santiago said, thrusting his hands into his pockets. Raeleigh was lost for words. The two brothers were definitely born from the same parents, but how were their manners and behavior totally different?

Raeleigh didn't say anything else. The two would solve their own affairs.

In addition, they were on the same page regarding this matter, which was against Zorion. Given that Zorion had a relationship with the Harvey family, they wouldn't cross the line. Therefore, Raeleigh was not worried about it.

When they stepped out of the elevator, Santiago yawned as he walked, feeling a little tired.

Raeleigh looked at him. "Are you tired?"

"Kind of. I will go back and rest." Santiago took a nap in the car after leaving the hospital. Raeleigh happened to sit beside him. Hence, he nestled his head against her shoulder. Jepherson shot daggers at him before he picked up Raeleigh and placed her on the other side. Santiago woke up and stared at Jepherson. Neither of them spoke, which landed Raeleigh in awkwardness.

Raeleigh sat aside, explaining, "Santiago is exhausted. He didn't do it on purpose."

Jepherson held her hand, shushing her. Raeleigh pursed her lip in vexation.

Santiago didn't pay any attention to him. Sitting in his seat, he continued to yawn. He was so sleepy that he just lounged in his seat, with his eyes watery. In the end, he could only lean his head against the headboard, trying to catch some shut-eye.

Raeleigh studied Santiago and said to Jepherson, "He didn't, like, mean anything?"

"Stop talking. If you go on and on, then I'll throw him out," Jepherson said, wrapping her in his arm. Raeleigh was speechless. Shouldn't he throw her out instead of Santiago?

When the car arrived at Raeleigh's residence, she was about to get out of the car when Jepherson woke Santiago up, told him to get out of the car, and then instructed the chauffeur to drive the car away. Raeleigh looked out of the window in confusion and asked him, "Why did you let Santiago out and not me?"

It was so late then. She wondered, why didn't he want to let her rest?

"Let's go to the hotel," Jepherson spoke as he squinted. Noticing that he was also weary, Raeleigh said no more. Afterwards, she followed Jepherson to the hotel, and they went upstairs. After entering the room, Raeleigh intended to take a shower, and Jepherson didn't tag along.

In the past, she had always wanted to take a shower herself to avoid the awkwardness of being in the same shower room with him. But that time, he actually stayed outside.

As Raeleigh stepped into the shower room, she left a gap on purpose. However, she heard the sound of the door closing when she was in the middle of her shower. The door was really closed, she noticed. After Raeleigh came out of the shower, Jepherson had already returned from another place after showering. He changed into his pyjamas, dried his hair, and lay there.

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on him. She dried her hair before approaching him.

She got onto the bed and nuzzled up to him. After looking at her for a while, he took her into his arms.

Resting in his arms, she took a look at what he was doing with his tablet. "It seems that you have been checking up on things irrelevant to your work."

"I have been working all this while. It's rare that I have some free time to indulge myself in stuff that is not work-related." Jepherson put down the tablet. He had been looking at some overseas properties with the intention of finding a place for a vacation. He wanted to take Raeleigh there for a period of time, just the two of them.

Subsequently, both of them started to lie down. Regardless of their proximity, they were both engaged in their own thoughts.

Raeleigh put her hand on Jepherson's body and cautiously moved downwards, caressing him. Generally, it was Jepherson who made the first move whenever they made love. Even though Raeleigh was used to what he usually did, she still could not bring herself to perform like him. It was not in her character to initiate anything when it came to s*x. That said, when Raeleigh did so, he pressed his hand against hers. "Not today. I have a backache."

Raeleigh furrowed her brow. "Your back hurts?"

She got up and lay on his body, chastising herself for her carelessness. It was possible for him to reject her if something really happened to his body.

Jepherson's eyes fell on Raeleigh's disturbed expression. "It's not very painful, just a minor sore."

Raeleigh stared into his eyes momentarily. For the first time, she was not sure if he was lying, so she did not dare to say anything. She just planted a kiss on his lips.

After kissing him, she did not leave immediately but gazed at him. Jepherson smacked his lips and his breathing grew increasingly rapid. He then cuddled her. Apparently, he felt reluctant to let her leave. With that being said, his rationality compelled him to push her away. Such a catch-22 situation had caused him to be incomparably tormented deep down.

Raeleigh lowered her head and lavished another kiss on him. She wanted to help him unwind himself. She could even feel the stiffness in his body, as if his blood had coagulated in its entirety.

She looked at him. "If you are unwilling, then we can sleep separately. Otherwise, we will only be uncomfortable."

Just when she got up, he pulled her back. Before she could look back, he already had her pressed underneath him.
