Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1218 Cheap

Raeleigh surveyed the room before asking, "Do I have to stay the night?"

"I'll stay here with you." Jepherson took off his coat and put it away before making his way into the bathroom. Raeleigh stood there, dumbfounded. Jepherson began stripping out of his clothes even before closing the door. After Jepherson emerged from the bathroom, he quickly changed into his pajamas. He then lifted the quilt and got into bed. Raeleigh, who was sitting on the couch, asked, "What are you doing?"

"Catching some rest." Jepherson wanted nothing more than to sleep.

After a while, Raeleigh said, "I want to go home."

"Raeleigh... I don't want you to leave."

"We're-"

"Just two people together."

Jepherson did not want to hear anything else from Raeleigh. All he longed for was just to be with her. He could not watch her be with other men; it made him feel terribly insecure.

A few moments later, Raeleigh sprung to her feet, saying, "No, I can't be with you."

She spun around, ready to leave. However, as soon as she opened the door, she came face-to-face with Stuart who greeted her politely. It was then she knew she would not be able to leave that night. So, she turned around and went back into the room.

She found Jepherson already lying in the bed, observing her as he waited for her.

Raeleigh stood motionless for a moment before walking towards the couch.

Stuart closed the door and locked it from the outside.

Raeleigh then took out her phone and called Xanthus to inform him that she would not be coming home.

After hanging up, she decided to catch up on some news. This was the only thing she could do since leaving was not an option.

However, Jepherson soon got up from the bed and stopped in front of Raeleigh. He bent down and pulled her into his arms before leading her towards the bed.

Raeleigh writhed as she was enveloped in his arms. However, he was much stronger than she was. She was a woman, after all.

When they got to the bed, Jepherson tucked her in and said with a serious face, "Stop struggling or I won't be able to control myself." Raeleigh immediately stopped moving.

Jepherson looked at her face and frowned. "Attagirl."

Raeleigh had never seen his expression do a turnaround that quickly before. The coldness in his face was immediately replaced with tenderness. After kissing Raeleigh on her forehead, Jepherson flipped onto his side and laid down beside her. He held her hand and closed his eyes.

Raeleigh felt all the old memories resurfacing, sending shivers of discomfort down her spine.

"I watched my mother fall from the cliff, and at that moment, I felt the earth beneath my feet shift. At the time, I hoped that I could have been with her when she fell, but I wasn't. I was taken away." "I had been very excited that I was going to have a baby sister. However, when we finally reunited with my mother, I realized that her stomach was flat."

"My sister was gone."

Jepherson kept holding on to Raeleigh's hand as he fell into slumber, his muttering trailing off. Raeleigh did not sleep until the wee hours of the morning. She stayed up and watched him sleep. However, when Raeleigh was finally claimed by sleep, Jepherson woke up again and pulled her into his arms before resuming his slumber.

Before Raeleigh could open her eyes, she heard a noise outside. She could make out someone talking outside. With her eyes open, she listened to the voices as attentively as she could. When she was sure that it was Madam Paige, she immediately jolted awake.

Jepherson, who had been sleeping beside her, was naked from the waist up. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson's back and immediately started to blush. She had no idea when Jepherson had taken off his clothes. "When did Jepherson return?" Paige sounded angry. Her voice was so sharp that it could pierce through a person's bones. Though Raeleigh had just been blushing furiously, her heart pounding in her chest, al giddiness ebbed away in an instant.

She turned to look at the door. Although a door separated them, Raeleigh could imagine the look on Madam Paige's face.

"Last night, Madam Paige," the servant reported, her voice trembling out of fear. Although Jepherson treated everyone well, he wasn't home as often. Thus, no one could stand up for the servants in his absence.

Paige's face turned pale. "What a bunch of good-for-nothings. Mr. Jepherson has been led astRhys, yet you're still trying to keep this under wraps. Let's wait and see how I will deal with all of you later." "Madam Paige, please calm down."

"Oh, whatever! Go get Mr. Jepherson."

Paige sat on the couch along the corridor. She decided to save herself the trouble by not barging into the room - though if it was any other day, she would not have given that a second thought. Furthermore, she was getting old. If she had been younger, things would have been different.

The servant did not dare disobey her. She hurriedly knocked on the couple's door before entering. Inside, came Jepherson's frosty voice. "Let's see who dares enter this room."

The servant trembled in fear once more. She could not afford to offend either party.

Paige sounded, "Then get yourself out here."

There was no movement in the room. Raeleigh had already gotten dressed and was out of the bed. She initially did not want to interfere with the Harvey family affairs. However, she was forced to spend the night here. In the past, she would have stayed out of it, but the times were a-changing.

Since she was no longer in a relationship with Jepherson, she had little care to give.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, coldness spilling from her eyes.

Jepherson only made a move to get up when she was about to leave.

When he saw Raeleigh walking towards the door, he immediately got out of bed, revealing his bare chest.

Jepherson didn't use to be like this. He would always make sure to get dressed before doing anything, but things had changed.

As soon as he got out of bed, the room was immediately filled with morning breath. He looked disheveled and crude, even.

Raeleigh couldn't be bothered. She immediately pushed the door open and went out, ready to go home.

However, soon as she emerged from the room, everyone's eyes nTristany popped out of their sockets. It was only then that Raeleigh noticed something was wrong. By the time she realized what it was, it was too late. She turned around and saw Jepherson in all his disheveled glory.

Shock pinned Raeleigh in place. She knew Jepherson all too well. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he wouldn't have dressed like this. What in the world was happening?

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Jepherson. She would have been petrified if not for Paige's cold voice.

"A woman who stoops this low to seduce a man is trashy at best."

Raeleigh froze for a moment. The voice behind her shot through her body like a knife. Raeleigh immediately turned around to look her in the eye.

"Did she just call me... cheap?" Raeleigh thought to herself.

Raeleigh stared into Paige's icy eyes and sarcastic face, and she lapsed into silence. She was curious to know what else a noble woman like her had to say to degrade her status. Sure enough, Paige continued, "Did you not hear me the first time? You're a cheap, trashy woman, through and through!"
