Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1272 A Threat

After Raeleigh left the hospital, she planned to go back. Jepherson did not say that he would not allow her to go back. Later, the car arrived at the door of Xanthus's residence. Raeleigh got out of the car and went straight to him. However...

"Why are you also getting out of the car?" Hearing the footsteps following her, Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson with a displeased face.

"I am homeless now. Don't you intend to take me in?" After saying that, Jepherson stepped towards Xanthus's villa. Raeleigh stopped outside for a while, and she then followed him inside.

After entering through the door, Raeleigh changed her shoes and looked into the villa. Xanthus had already prepared the food and was waiting for Raeleigh to come back to eat together. But the atmosphere was still a little strange. After all, Xanthus did not expect that it was Jepherson who came in first, and he had already gone inside.

Raeleigh explained to Xanthus, "I will find a way to let him leave."

"Are you able to do this?" Xanthus turned around and took a look at the room where Raeleigh was in. As soon as he cleared it, Xanthus came back.

Xanthus was amused when he turned back.

Raeleigh said, "There will be a way."

"It's good that there's a way. The most worrisome way is if your ideas fail on him, then it will make him bolder." After saying that, Xanthus turned around to prepare the food. Raeleigh stood at the door for a while. She did understand Xanthus's meaning, but Jepherson was indeed very difficult to deal with.

Raeleigh returned after washing her hands. Xanthus had already placed the food. When they sat down and were about to eat, Jepherson came down from upstairs as if he had watched the time.

Raeleigh raised her head to look at Jepherson, who had already changed his clothes. As soon as he saw her, he went straight to Raeleigh and sat down beside her. He held up her bowl and chopsticks, ready to eat, as if he was at home. Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the bowl in front of her, which was empty. It was her dinner.

"Drink some soup first." Raeleigh's rice was taken away. Xanthus immediately filled up another bowl of soup. Raeleigh took it over and lowered her head to drink the soup.

"I have fallen out with my family and will live here from today onwards." Jepherson, who was having his meal, told Xanthus about his current situation.

Raeleigh raised her head slowly to look at Jepherson. "You own a hotel outside, don't you?"

"The hotel is owned by the Harvey family. I have nothing but you." After eating a mouthful of the rice, he turned around to see Raeleigh, who wore a blank look on her face. "What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Isn't that the case?"

"It's between you and your grandmother. I don't want to talk to you. I'm also very confused now. Please stay away from me."

"Now, you don't need me. You want me to go. But you didn't say that at the beginning. You still have my gift on your wrist. If you take it off unscathed, then I will promise to leave you. Otherwise, it's impossible."

"You are unreasonable."

"Yeap, but what can you do to me?" he asked Raeleigh, while putting the rice into his mouth, chewing. He had an extraordinarily handsome face, but she was also very angry. Raeleigh said, "You are too much."

"That's right."

...

Raeleigh was speechless and glanced at Xanthus on the opposite side. Xanthus froze for a moment. Although he did not like Jepherson very much, he was almost amused by his shamelessness. "Let's eat." Xanthus dipped some meat into Raeleigh's bowl. "Eat more and you'll feel better and stronger."

Raeleigh blushed. Why did she need to be so strong? Did he want to fight? She thought.

What was the point of being strong if she was unable to defeat a person like Jepherson?

Raeleigh lowered her head and kept eating. She did not know who she was angry with. After eating, Raeleigh stood up and left. Then, she sat on the couch in the living room to watch the news.

If Raeleigh didn't watch the news, then she wouldn't even know that such a big thing had happened to the Harvey Group... Jepherson was reported missing!

"Are you missing?" Raeleigh pointed at the TV and asked. He was walking towards Raeleigh with a cup of tea with honey and sat beside her.

Jepherson sat down and blew on the water in the cup, replying to Raeleigh with his nose.

"Are you crazy?" Raeleigh immediately became unhappy and looked pale. "You are missing. It is related to a kidnapping case. Am I a kidnapper?"

Raeleigh almost shouted out, while Jepherson sat on the couch casually with his legs crossed. He said in an astonishing tone, "If I won't say that you're a kidnapper, then who would dare to say that you're one?"

"The implication is that if I don't take good care of you, then will I be a kidnapper?"

Raeleigh was unhappy. Wasn't that what he meant?

Jepherson laughed. "That's what I meant."

Raeleigh got up and went upstairs quietly without coming down for the rest of the day.

When Xanthus knocked on Raeleigh's door in the evening, the reporters had already surrounded Xanthus downstairs.

Raeleigh looked out of the window and found that there was a circle of people around the villa, who were all looking over, waiting for Raeleigh.

Raeleigh went to open the door but she did not go down. Instead, she let Xanthus in first and sat down. Xanthus was standing on the opposite side of the cabinet.

"What are you going to do?"

"What can I do? Now, everyone thinks that I kidnapped Jepherson, what can I do? Maybe the police will come to me later, arrest me, and take me to the police station." Raeleigh looked a little bad. She was in a mess and didn't know what to do. Xanthus asked her what to do. How could she know?

"Since you don't know what to do..."

"Don't start on cranky thoughts. You need to rest. You don't even know how pale your face is."

"I want to rest, too, but I can't fall asleep. I'm always thinking about it."

"Don't bother about it. Just rest," Xanthus said and turned to the door. The door opened and he said, "I will talk to Jepherson about this and let him deal with it." Raeleigh looked at the door. "Will he listen to you?"

Xanthus turned around and stared at Raeleigh. "It depends on who you are. Maybe it's not enough if you're just Dr. Osteen. But if you're Raeleigh's brother, then it's another story."

After Xanthus left, Raeleigh was stunned. After a while, she lay on the bed and covered her face with her hands. It was a mess!

After coming out of Raeleigh's room, Xanthus went to find Jepherson, who was watching TV downstairs. He heard footsteps and did not look back, but soon, Xanthus came to him and sat down.

The casual posture showed Xanthus's calmness at that time, which allowed Jepherson to understand that Xanthus was by no means an ordinary doctor.

Crossing his legs, Xanthus watched the news on TV and said, "I don't want Raeleigh to get hurt, and I don't want her to be involved in anything. If you don't even have the ability to keep her safe, then I can take her away from you. This is the best way to protect her. With my ability, it's easy to take someone away."

Jepherson looked over at him. "Are you threatening me?"

"Yes." Xanthus stood up. "If you think I'm a threat, then you can try and see if you can persuade me like you persuaded Raeleigh."

After that, Xanthus went back to his room and left Jepherson alone.
