Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1240 Bold, Avant-Garde Ideas

When Raeleigh went downstairs, Lamar was waiting for her downstairs. As Raeleigh made her way to the kitchen to help, Lamar called her, "Baby girl, come here." Raeleigh stopped and looked at Lamar. She wasn't used to being called 'baby girl'. When she heard her mother call her, she felt awkward and couldn't say anything.

She turned around, walked back to Lamar, and sat down beside him. Lamar had no awkward feelings with his daughter. He got straight to the point and said, "I hope you'll be safe, and I hope nothing bad happens to you. You and your brother have found someone you adore and I wish you a long life."

Raeleigh didn't say anything, sat down opposite him, and looked at Lamar.

"If you love someone, then go ahead. I won't interfere. If you want to do something, then please go ahead. I won't interfere in that either. If... If you want to go back, then I'll agree as well. Mom will be sad. But she has me, so you can rest assured that she'll be okay with it."

"Your Mom may look fragile, but you can't imagine how strong she really is. Don't worry."

"The only thing I won't discuss with you is this business with your grandmother. Granny is old and no one will take care of her when she returns home. On one hand, you should pay attention to her. On the other hand, I don't want her running around with you at her age. She'd be happy to have the best care we can provide her here."

"If she misses you, we will come and pick you up."

Raeleigh didn't know what to say. Hearing the noise coming from the kitchen, she went to check on Jazelle. Jazelle was standing in the doorway with soup in her hand, and her eyes were red. But when she saw Raeleigh looking at her, she immediately spoke with a smile, "I'll support you no matter what you decide. If you want to keep going, even if we're at the end of the world, then I will support you no matter what."

"Your father and I will take care of ourselves. Don't worry."

Jazelle walked over to Raeleigh, placed down the soup in her hand, and sat beside her. Raeleigh hugged Jazelle and said, "I won't leave, I won't leave you and Dad behind."

"Silly girl. Your father and I are still young. You don't need to take care of us. We should be taking care of you. If you want to fly, then fly. Don't worry about us. When we are old, you can return. Don't fly off then." When Jazelle said this, Raeleigh's eyes turned red.

"Mom..."

Lamar couldn't sit still when he saw his wife and daughter crying together. He got up, walked to the two of them, and hugged them. It took a while for them to calm down. The three of them drank some soup before they went to rest.

Raeleigh received a call from Jepherson as soon as she went upstairs. She wondered how he found her new number and wanted to leave as soon as she went upstairs.

"I'm at the door. Come out and pick me up." Jepherson was standing outside, waiting for her. But she fell silent when she heard it was him.

When she was about to hang up, he quickly said, "Don't hang up, or else I'll be angry."

"That's your problem whether you're angry or not. If you think it'll do you any good to threaten me, then go ahead."

"Raeleigh..."

She paused for a moment. "Let's just talk."

"How can we talk if you don't come out?" He pulled violently on his tie. Raeleigh opened the door and went into her room. She closed the door and went towards the window. The lights in the room were switched off. She didn't like to turn on the lights when she rested. No one else would turn off the lights. He knew that Raeleigh didn't turn on the lights while he was outside.

She walked towards the window and looked outside, but she couldn't see anything. The manor was just too big.

Raeleigh turned around, switched on the lights, and lay down on the bed. She was still talking to Jepherson on the phone.

"Let's talk over the phone and clear things up. Otherwise, don't say anything." Her voice sounded cold and indifferent. It took a while for Jepherson to suppress his desire to rush in. He then spoke over the phone.

Raeleigh stayed silent for a while. Then, she said, "What happened between us is over. We can be friends from now on."

It was a little difficult for him to say the word 'friend', but he might not agree to the breakup if he didn't say so.

It was simply ridiculous that even though they had already broken up, he still refused to let go. She had no choice but to take a step back from this.

"Hmph..." Jepherson opened the car door and got off. After walking two whole rounds around his car, he couldn't diminish her irascible temper. He turned to face the manor and said, "I want to see you. Right now."

Raeleigh lay down on the bed with her eyes closed, imagining Jepherson jumping about in a rage.

"We broke up a long time ago. Have you forgotten?"

Raeleigh didn't want to mention the baby, but if he continued pushing her around, then she would. She wasn't sure if he would though.

Back in the car, Jepherson had calmed down. "Raeleigh, come out. Let's meet..."

Leaning against the car, Jepherson felt like dying.

Raeleigh knew that he was in pain, but she had no other choice. She really had no idea what to do next.

"It's just too painful. I want to be quiet. Even if I go back, I don't want to be with you. I'm not the same person as I was."

"He bit his lower lip. He clenched his white teeth until his lower lip bled.

"I'll think about it."

Raeleigh hung up the phone, put it down, and lay on the bed. What should she do?

After falling into a deep sleep, Raeleigh woke up the next morning and felt very tired. She went downstairs to ask the servants if there was a car outside the manor. The servants confirmed that there was indeed a car there. She then stopped asking about it.

At noon, Raeleigh heard from the servants that the car had left.

Raeleigh was relieved upon hearing that Jepherson had left.

That afternoon, Raeleigh walked around the manor for a while, as she was planning to draw with her mother. However, when she brought the drawing board out into the yard, the only thing she could think of was a retro car design.

Raeleigh raised her head and gasped. Her mind was out of sorts.

"Baby girl, what's wrong?" Jazelle held a brush and some paint in her hands. Raeleigh was in a daze. She then looked at her mother and said, "I'm thinking about a car design."

"That's great. Inspiration can come from life. If you have an idea, then you should express it. Bernardo, go and take the things I've prepared for the young lady." "Yes, Madam."

The old Lennox immediately led his men inside. Not long after, they moved some tables and chairs outside and prepared all kinds of paper, pens, and rulers.

Raeleigh was lost in thought for a while. Then, she sat down and started on her design.

About an hour later, Jazelle had drawn Raeleigh's portrait. Whoever approached her would be gestured at and was asked to step away. If she was distracted from her inspiration, then she would lose it. Raeleigh stood up just as she finished her design. As the wind blew, her forehead was covered in sweat.

Jazelle took her painting and showed it to her. Raeleigh got up and returned it to Jazelle. The image of a mother's and daughter's love was enviable.

Then, Jazelle went to see the car that Raeleigh had designed. She was a little lost at what she saw. Although she didn't understand it, her daughter's talent was shockingly impressive.

It only took her just slightly more than an hour to create such bold and avant-garde ideas. She could do something that no one else could do.
