Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1199 Their Relationship
A few moments later, Raeleigh emerged from the room with an overnight bag. She also briefly talked to Xanthus before following Santiago into the car. Xanthus watched as they left before he made his way back into the house to check on Novalie.
When he entered the room, Novalie sighed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"Don't worry about it. It's my duty to take care of you." Xanthus sat down beside Novalie. Novalie said, "After I pass away, please take Raeleigh with you and leave this place. This place is not right for her at all. There are too many things going on here."
"Grandma, why don't you move abroad with us since you're in good health? That way, Raeleigh would not need to worry about you and she'll be able to focus on her studies. I'm trying to come up with a solution with my parents to see if there's any way Raeleigh can move abroad soon." In fact, this was the reason Xanthus had been so busy lately. Novalie took a look at Xanthus and said, "I respect your decision. Do what is best for her. However, as you know, she can be very stubborn. I think it's best if you talk to her."
"I know." Xanthus was worried that she wouldn't agree as well. If it weren't because of that, then he would have gone through with his decision much earlier.
Raeleigh left her house and followed Santiago back to her previous residence. As soon as she arrived, she went straight to her room to retrieve the property ownership certificate. She said as she handed it to Santiago, "This belongs to you now. Once I receive the money, I'll arrange to have the property title transferred to you."
Santiago lowered his head and glanced at the property ownership certificate. He accepted it and handed the certificate to Cynthia. "You can have it if you want. I don't need it. Once we complete the procedure to transfer the property, this house belongs to you."
Santiago turned around and went to the restroom. Cynthia took the property ownership certificate and walked over to Raeleigh. "I told Santiago that I wanted the house. He once told me that he will agree to whatever request that I have."
"Thank you." Raeleigh wasn't sure what to say. Cynthia was true to her word.
"No problem at all. If you ever want the house back, then let me know. You can pay me back in instalments. I will pay Santiago back in instalments as well."
Raeleigh did not say a word. She knew Cynthia had good intentions, but she had made up her mind that she would never want the house back, just like her relationship with Jepherson. They would never get back together. Things had changed. Nothing would ever be the same again.
Raeleigh and Cynthia sat in the living room. When Santiago emerged from the bathroom, Stuart arrived with two men in tow. Each of them carried a briefcase in their hand. When Stuart saw Santiago, he hurriedly instructed the two men to put the briefcases down.
"Mr. Santiago, this is the seven million dollars in cash that you have requested. It's all in here." Stuart glanced at Raeleigh briefly when finished his words. Then, he turned around to leave. Santiago glanced at Raeleigh and said, "Come on, let's go and deposit the money."
Santiago then picked up the two briefcases and made his way towards his car. As soon as he got into his car, he gave Jepherson a call. "Did I say I want the money to be sent over to the house? They placed the briefcases here and left without saying anything else."
Jepherson did not reply and hung up the phone.
After Raeleigh and Cynthia got in the car, Santiago started the car and drove towards the bank to deposit the money into Raeleigh's bank account. Then, he drove them home.
Whilst on their way home, Raeleigh informed Santiago that she wanted to drop by at Zorion's place. Santiago made a detour and they arrived shortly after.
When they arrived at the Atkinson family's entrance, Santiago walked up to the gate and glanced at the password lock. Then, he raised his hand and pressed a string of numbers to unlock the door. He pushed the door open and led Raeleigh into the house.
Raeleigh and Cynthia followed behind and soon arrived at Zorion's living room.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw the servant running upstairs hurriedly to inform Zorion. Deanna was very surprised to see them in her house.
"Raeleigh..." When Deanna saw Raeleigh, she immediately rushed over to her excitedly.
On the other hand, Santiago and Cynthia appeared indifferent. Santiago walked over to the couch with Cynthia and sat down. The two of them sat aside like outsiders.
"Raeleigh, why didn't you tell me earlier that you are coming? I'm bored out of my mind. Come, sit down." Deanna pulled Raeleigh towards the couch and gestured to her to sit down. Meanwhile, the servant came back down from upstairs.
It was Santiago whom the servants were afraid of.
After a while, Deanna asked, "Raeleigh, do you want to stay for dinner?"
"I came to visit your brother. I don't think I will be staying for dinner," Raeleigh said. Soon after, Zorion came down the stairs. He was not surprised to see Raeleigh and Santiago as the servant had informed him about the guests' identities.
"What brings you here today?" Zorion said as he sat down and glanced at Raeleigh. Then, Raeleigh took out her bank card and handed it to Zorion.
Zorion was stunned for a moment before saying, "I have told you that I don't want the money."
"No, it's too much. I would have considered it if it weren't this much, but the amount is huge. It's best if I repay the money as soon as possible. I am not sure how much I owe you but at the very least, I have paid you back. There is seven million dollars in my account. Take it. I'm not sure whether it's enough, but it's all I have right now. Take it as a favor to me and accept my bank card."
Zorion was quiet for a moment before he asked, "Are you implying that we'll write everything off between us once I accept the money?"
She thought for a while and answered, "I don't mean to write it all off. But at least in terms of money, we are all clear. I will always remember the favors that you've done for me."
"Then, take it back. We don't owe each other money. Not now and not ever. There is only affection between us. I hope it will always be like this."
Raeleigh froze for a moment. Before she could say another word, Santiago sat up and looked at Zorion. He said, "She is my brother's girlfriend. No other man can have feelings for her. You ought to know that.' "Or else, I will lay my hands on you."
Deanna froze for a moment and raised her head to look at her brother. She wondered, "Doesn't Zorion already have Rossie? Does this mean that he still likes Raeleigh?"
What about Rossie?
Zorion turned to look at Santiago. "Mind your own business. This is between Raeleigh and me. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
As he was talking, they heard light footsteps coming from upstairs. Everyone turned to look up at the person who was walking down the stairs. It was none other than Rossie.
Zorion was slightly surprised to see Rossie at the stairs but he quickly shifted his gaze away from her. Rossie, on the other hand, paused on the stairs. When she noticed everyone's gaze on her, she said calmly, "I wanted to head outside. I'm sorry if I have disturbed your conversation."
Everyone remained quiet.
"It's alright, Rosie. I'll accompany you," Deanna said as she stood up. Although Deanna was naive, she did not agree with Zorion's way of doing things. She knew that he must have done it on purpose. He took advantage of her just because she had no feelings for him.
