Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1197 Uninvited

Raeleigh got out of the taxi and saw Xanthus walking out of the house just as she was about to enter the house. He was staring at the watch anxiously. She knew he was extremely worried. Xanthus was very busy that day. If he was free, then he would have gone to the hospital to pick her up.

"What took you so long to come home?" Xanthus asked Raeleigh as he took a quick look at his watch. Raeleigh decided against telling him that she had been held up by Jepherson all day. She told him that she bumped into him, and that was why she came back late.

Xanthus looked at Raeleigh for a moment and made sure she was fine before they entered the house together. It was time for dinner.

When Raeleigh saw the dishes on the table, she said, feeling slightly embarrassed, "Ever since we met you, you've been helping me take care of Grandma. You are turning into my housekeeper."

"I will try my best. This is the only way I can repay my gratitude towards Grandma. If it weren't for her, then I probably would have never found you. Besides, isn't it my responsibility as a brother to look after my sister?"

Raeleigh froze for a moment. He had no obligation to do anything for her, even if he was her brother.

"I will take care of you in the future," Raeleigh said after a long time. Xanthus could not help but to smile. He reached out and touched Raeleigh's head. "I'll hold onto your words. If I grow old alone, then you wil have to take care of me. Perhaps, you can tell your children to take good care of me, alright?"

Raeleigh pursed her lips. What else could she say?

Since she had nothing else to say, she stopped talking and entered the house to greet her grandmother. Meanwhile, Novalie was wondering the whereabouts of Raeleigh. She finally came back.

Novalie took a look at Raeleigh and said, "You're back! Let's have dinner then. I'm old and starving." "Sorry, I didn't mean to come back this late."

"You don't have to apologize. You make it sound like I'm an outsider. If you are going to come back late in the future, then you should let us know ahead of time. I don't mind waiting, but it's not good to let others worry about you."

Raeleigh instantly understood who her grandmother was referring to. She turned around and glanced at Xanthus as she felt a little guilty. Xanthus immediately went into the kitchen and said. "Do not ever do this again, alright? Just call us so that I don't have to worry about you."

"Alright." Raeleigh promised. After dinner, she helped Novalie back to her room to rest. It had been a long time since she came home after spending so much time in the hospital. She felt guilty. As soon as Novalie sat down, she started praising Xanthus. Raeleigh sat aside in silence.

"Raeleigh, when I die, you should go abroad with him and never come back," Novalie said in the end. She had made up her mind. She wanted the best for her granddaughter. Since this environment was no longer suitable for Raeleigh, she should move abroad to start a new life. A change could be good for her and it was probably better for her career development.

Raeleigh hugged Novalie abruptly and said, "No, don't leave me. I will never leave you either. Even if I have to leave, I will take you with me. We will never be apart."

Novalie smiled. She was happy to hear what she had said. She held Raeleigh's hands and replied, "Don't be silly. People will die eventually. My days are numbered. Do you think I'm immortal?" Raeleigh hugged her grandmother without answering. They sat there for a long time until Novalie asked to call it a night. Raeleigh was feeling much better by the time she went to bed.

The next morning, Raeleigh saw Santiago at the door as soon as she went downstairs.

She froze at the sight of Santiago. He got out of the car while Cynthia sat in the passenger seat. Cynthia greeted Raeleigh when she saw her. Raeleigh stopped and smiled. Then, she walked over to Santiago. "Come home with me," Santiago said as he stopped in front of Raeleigh.

"Are you kidding me?" Raeleigh was calm. What had happened should be left in the past, she thought. She held no grudges against him.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Santiago was amused. He looked up and saw Xanthus walking out. He walked over to Xanthus and said, "I want to take Raeleigh back home. You and Novalie may come with us. Somebody needs to look after Cynthia. Besides, I promised my brother that I will bring Raeleigh home."

"There's no point in telling me. I'm just here to look after Raeleigh. I can't make any decisions for her."

Xanthus said and fixed his gaze on Raeleigh. Raeleigh turned around as well.

Santiago continued, "Raeleigh has to come back with me. I know that she will refuse if both of you decide to stay. I hope you can all come with me. There's no other way."

"Santiago, you can't do this to me," Raeleigh said as she stared at Santiago. She looked slightly annoyed. Although she was sure that Santiago would come looking for her, she thought that he shouldn't have

come.

"What do you mean? Do you mean like yesterday?" Santiago's face darkened. He turned around and faced Raeleigh, who fell silent all of a sudden. She said, "Don't talk about what happened yesterday. I don't want to hear anything about it. Please don't say anything more."

"No negotiations. You have to come with me. You don't have a choice," Santiago said stubbornly. Raeleigh said after a moment, "I'm not going. Why don't you kill me then?"

Raeleigh stormed back into the house when she finished her sentence. Santiago tried to follow her, but was stopped by Xanthus.

"Get out of my way." Santiago's face was full of displeasure. Xanthus remained steadfast as he was not afraid of him.

"Raeleigh is a human being. She's neither an animal nor a toy. It isn't right to control her actions. I know you meant no harm and you are trying to protect her. But please consider your actions. Do birds prefer to fly freely in the sky or get locked up in a cage?

"I know you and your brother may mean no harm, but the way you're handling this is wrong."

Xanthus turned around and went back into the house. Santiago thought for a few moments and decided to walk towards the house. Cynthia got out of the car quickly and followed him.

Raeleigh intended to have breakfast but she heard the sound of door knock just when she was about to prepare her breakfast.

Xanthus went to take a look at the door and realized that it was none other than Santiago and Cynthia.

Xanthus exchanged a look with Raeleigh before opening the door.

Santiago took off his shoes and led Cynthia into the house. Raeleigh watched as the two of them took a seat on the couch. Then, she turned back into the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast. She knew that it would be a futile attempt to change Santiago's mind. It was better to let him do whatever he wished to.

Once breakfast was ready, Raeleigh brought the food out and placed it on the dining table. Xanthus went to invite Novalie out for breakfast. Santiago treated her house as if it was his own. He brought Cynthia to the bathroom to wash their hands before making their way to the dining table, and waited to have breakfast together.
