Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1205 Fainted

Raeleigh was pulled back by Jepherson. At that time, Santiago and Cynthia entered the room. When Paige saw Cynthia, she snorted. "You are not welcome here. Get out now!" Paige had not liked Cynthia even before she knew Cynthia was from the Cole family. Now that she knew, her aversion towards Cynthia had snowballed.

Cynthia did not say anything as she glanced at Santiago. He asked, "I'm right here. What are you so afraid of?"

Cynthia did not answer. Paige sneered. "There's so many fish in the sea, yet why do you have to pick him of all people? Don't you know how old you are? What, are you trying to trick a kid?" Cynthia was not thick-skinned. She blushed after hearing Paige's words.

Cynthia lowered her head and did not say anything, allowing Paige to say whatever she wanted.

However, Santiago refused to stand by and do nothing. When he heard Paige's words, he immediately said, "Grandma, if you don't like me, then it's fine, but you cannot say those words to Cynthia. Yes, she might be from the Cole family, but she has severed ties with them. Besides, there's nothing bad about her. If you don't like her, then it's fine, there's nothing I can do to change it, but from now on, Cynthia will be with me. How can you scold her for nothing? It's not like she's beholden to you, right?"

"Are you trying to piss me off? You do realize that she's much older than you, don't you? Are you out of your mind?" She trembled with rage.

Santiago sneered. "Grandma, for this point, I beg to differ. When it comes to love, age is nothing but a number. I'm still going to marry her even if she were a 70-year-old. I mean, my heart wants what it wants." Santiago was infuriating, and Raeleigh finally had her firsthand experience. Cynthia pulled Santiago's hand and said, "Let's..."

"Let's go." Santiago turned around and led Cynthia away. Paige pointed at Santiago as he walked away and ordered, "Lock him up right now."

However, no one dared to stop him. He walked out of the door and looked back. Then, he got into the car and brought Cynthia to have a good meal.

Cynthia was recovering well. The doctor did not give her any dietary restrictions. Moreover, Santiago had already bought two plane tickets and was planning to take Cynthia for a vacation.

After Santiago left, Raeleigh, too, wanted to leave. However, she was held back by Jepherson. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't.

Raeleigh had no choice but to stay. After Santiago left, a fresh swell of rage rose in Paige when she saw Raeleigh. She picked up the newspapers and magazines on the table and flung them at Raeleigh. Jepherson managed to pull her out of the way. In the end, the newspaper hit him instead.

Jepherson looked down at Raeleigh to make sure that she was fine. He turned to Paige and said, "Grandma, Raeleigh is innocent."

"She's not innocent. One moment she's with Santiago, and the next she's with you. Now, she's created this joke of a mess. PRhys tell, in what way is she innocent?"

"She is as innocent as can be." Jepherson looked gloomy as he raised his voice. Paige then piped down.

However, Paige felt uncomfortable and sneered after looking at Raeleigh. "I knew you were trouble from the moment you and Deanna became close. Not only did you seduce Jepherson, but you also had a fling with Zorion and now, Flynt. It seems like you've had everything all planned out. Do you think that as long as you have these three families to back you up, you'll finally live a glorious life?"

Paige's words were full of condemnation that Raeleigh could not bear it anymore.

"Madam Paige, I think you're misunderstanding this. I am no gold digger, and I have no intention of marrying into a rich and powerful family."

"Poor as I am, I'm still a human. I have dignity. Even if I don't marry into a rich family, I'll still be able to live a normal life."

"I can't speak for the other girls, but I won't covet your family wealth. My body is my best asset, and I can earn my own money."

"It's true, I am poor, but I have my own principles. Please don't be so mean to me. Let me make this clear to you. I will never marry Jepherson Harvey, and I will not bear the name of the Harvey family. I hope this puts your mind at ease."

Raeleigh said and turned to the door. However, Jepherson hugged her from behind and said, "Please don't go."

Raeleigh replied without turning around, "Jepherson, I was not planning to say anything, but now it seems like I have to defend myself."

"I am a burden to you. I don't have a reputable family background. I know your family will never agree to us being together, so I've never had much hope for us getting married."

"I've never cared about fame and fortune when it came to loving someone. However, whatever you're doing now, it's starting to make me fall apart. I am genuinely afraid to be with you. I beg you, please let me go. There is no future between us. All I want is to graduate from university. However, ever since I met you, my life has completely changed. I have lost my focus because I have to be entangled with you all this time."

"Whatever I have with Flynt, it's mine to deal with. Please stop asking."

Raeleigh shoved Jepherson's hand away and was about to leave. However, Jepherson ignored her and pulled her into his arms and kissed her until she was breathless.

Raeleigh pushed him away and said, "You hadn't kissed me for a while. What were you thinking and doing at that time?"

"You asked someone else to lie to me in order to make me rid myself of the baby. Although I knew you were lying, I could not help feeling sad. I did not know what love was, and I did not know what it felt like to love someone. But I am a human. I have a heart. I have emotions. I knew what pain was."

"When the doctor pulled the baby out of me, I felt as if my heart was being ripped apart."

"You know, I can read the emotions in your eyes. When I saw your eyes then, they lacked firmness."

"When we first got together, you used to hide everything. I was fine with it because I knew you were doing your best. I knew that I was not alone. But this is as far as it goes. Now that both of us have stopped trying, our story has come to an end."

"No, Raeleigh, let me explain. I did not want the baby because..."

"Because the baby had birth defects? I doubt so. I asked Xanthus to examine the baby. You colluded with the doctor to lie to me. You told him to advise me not to keep the baby. Have you ever realized how cruel you could be?"

Raeleigh jabbed at her chest. "It felt like there was a knife inserted into my heart, ever so slowly. It's so painful that I teared up. I didn't dare to pull it out because I knew that I would die if I did!"

"So, I'm... begging you, please let me go. I want to live a normal life. From now on, you don't have to care whether I'm dead or alive. Please?"

Jepherson slowly released his hand and froze. He looked at Raeleigh with a pained expression. "Raeleigh, I didn't mean to hurt you. I only ever wanted to be with you, but we....."

Jepherson suddenly turned his face away and choked on his words. He raised his hand and pressed his chest. He told Raeleigh, "You can leave. Stuart, please send Raeleigh home!"

Without thinking, Raeleigh walked towards the door. As soon as she stepped out of the house, Jepherson couldn't catch his breath. He blacked out and fell to the ground. When Raeleigh heard a thud, she turned around and felt that her heart nTristany jumped out of her chest. She was stuck to the ground.
