Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1215 How Much Longer?

Raeleigh and Cynthia spent the whole night in a tete-a-tete. They talked until Cynthia ended up crying.

"Raeleigh, if I leave and never come back again, will you miss me?"

Raeleigh thought for a long time before answering her question, "I will definitely miss you. You are one of my besties, aside from Scarlette."

"What about Deanna? Isn't she your best friend too?" Cynthia asked as she brushed her tears away. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "You don't understand Deanna. She's very naive and doesn't know what love is. Sometimes, I feel like she's still a kid. She is willful and self-centered, but she's also very kind-hearted."

"Deanna would never befriend someone like me. Of course, I do treat her as my friend, but she's still very immature. You have to treat her like a kid."

"Deanna is indeed a little immature, but I feel that she's changed after meeting Jacky. Though she still seems a little out of it and knows nothing," Cynthia laughed. She had already studied Deanna's recent behaviour.

Raeleigh also chimed, "I think Jacky is a very frank person. He's very patient as well. If I were Deanna, I would be very happy."

Raeleigh was not good at observing people, but for some reason, she was very confident with her evaluation of Jacky. She felt that Deanna was the luckiest among them.

"I really hope that I still have a chance to come back, but I won't have any if I leave. If I come back, the Cole family will not let me go. I'm sure they will not let Santiago go either. I don't want to cause trouble. I want to live a peaceful life. One day when we're old, I hope you still keep me in your thoughts by then."

"Cynthia, I will always remember you. I will visit you when you come back."

"Positive?"

"Of course!"

Then, Cynthia kept quiet and lay beside Raeleigh. She reached out for Raeleigh's hand and the two fell asleep together.

Cynthia's flight was the next morning. Santiago simply packed their suitcases and was ready to leave.

Raeleigh and Xanthus saw them off, and so did Jepherson and Stuart. In the end, Deanna and Zorion came as well.

Deanna cried so hard and refused to let go of Cynthia's hand.

"You must come back," Deanna did not know what had happened. However, she had a feeling that Cynthia's departure heralded an end to their friendship: she would leave and never come back. Deanna hugged Cynthia and wept for a while. Cynthia even took out her favourite keychain and gave it to Deanna.

"This is one of my favourite belongings that I bought using my own savings. I'm giving this to you now. It's very beautiful," Cynthia handed the keychain to Deanna, who studied the keychain carefully. It was made of yellow crystal and was indeed very pretty.

"It's beautiful! Thank you, Cynthia."

Cynthia embraced Deanna and looked at Raeleigh. Then, she handed a pen to Raeleigh, saying, "This is the pen I used to write my notes in class. I will not be using it anymore. I was planning to keep it until I was old, but I did not expect to go abroad so soon. I have no idea when I will return. Raeleigh, do you mind keeping this for me?"

Raeleigh looked at the pen and took out her own, laughing, "I don't know whether it's a coincidence or not, but we have the same pen. Why don't you take mine instead?"

With that, she handed her pen to Cynthia. Raeleigh had a hunch that Cynthia would not be gone for long. She knew that Cynthia would return soon, and their paths would cross once again.

Cynthia accepted the pen and said, "Thank you, I'll cherish this."

"Bon voyage."

"Thank you."

Deanna pondered for a long time, wondering what to give to Cynthia. She did not bring anything. Hence, she took off her necklace and presented it to Cynthia, "This is for you." Zorion was a little upset. He was the one who had gifted her the necklace.

Cynthia accepted it and thanked her. Santiago, who was standing beside the girls, walked over to Raeleigh. After looking at Raeleigh for a while, he reached out and hugged her, murmuring, "Take care of yourself. No matter what happens, you must be patient. Do not act impulsively. Don't forget to call me and wait for me to come back."

Raeleigh looked up slowly. Santiago had brought his lips to her ear and whispered to her. They locked gazes for a while, no one saying anything. A while later, Santiago let go of her.

Raeleigh gave it some thought and replied, "Have a safe trip."

"Don't forget to call me," Santiago glanced at Jepherson instead, "Take care of her."

"Safe travels," Jepherson bid.

The two brothers looked at each other tacitly. After that, Santiago turned around and walked towards the boarding gate with one hand holding the suitcase and the other holding Cynthia's hand. Cynthia kept on glancing around the airport while walking, but she saw no signs of Flynt.

Even when they arrived at the boarding gate, Flynt was nowhere to be seen. Therefore, she turned around and followed Santiago onto the plane.

After Cynthia left, Raeleigh turned around and walked over to Xanthus. She held his arm and dragged him away.

Jepherson walked over to stop them. Raeleigh looked up with a firm gaze and repeated herself, "I have already made it clear to you: we are done, finished."

"You're my employee. Our company rules state that you are not allowed to have a boyfriend before you graduate."

This was the final trick he had up his sleeve.

Stuart really admired how ruthless Jepherson was.

He wondered since when did the company have such a rule.

In fact, he knew that Jepherson had clearly made that up.

Raeleigh scoffed, "Funny. I don't remember reading that in the contract."

"I'm adding it into the contract right now," Jepherson looked gloomy. Almost everyone around was looking at them. Just then, Deanna stomped towards them and stood in front of Raeleigh protectively. She looked up and frowned, "Jepherson, I think you're getting carried away with this. Although things did not work out between the two of you, you can still be friends. Why must you do this?"

"Whatever I do is my business," Jepherson said, refusing to back down. Deanna couldn't bear it, so she pulled Raeleigh by the hand and wanted to leave. Zorion immediately said, "Deanna, we have something else to do. Let's go first."

"Zorion, can you please help Raeleigh?" Deanna rushed over to Zorion and tugged on his hand. Zorion sighed, "Don't stick our nose where it doesn't belong. We should leave."

Zorion turned around and led Deanna away. Deanna kept looking over her shoulder, but nothing she did now could change what was about to happen.

Jepherson waited for Zorion and Deanna to leave. Then, he briefly glanced at his watch before asking Xanthus, "Dr. Osteen, do you not have anything to do today?"

"I'm going to hand in my resignation letter," Xanthus replied curtly.

"You're going to, but you haven't. Why, it means you mustn't neglect your duty. Dr. Osteen, I hope you know your responsibilities."

Jepherson spoke in a demeaning tone. Consequently, Raeleigh was boiling with anger.

"Xanthus, you should go. I'll be fine," Raeleigh loosened her grip on Xanthus' hand. Xanthus was worried about her and wanted to wait for her, but was stopped by Jepherson.

"I have a meeting scheduled. Follow me," Jepherson turned around and made his way out of the airport. Raeleigh's heart throbbed with pain as she watched him walk away. "How much longer am I going to continue hurting like this?" She thought to herself.
