Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1273 Flynt's Accident

Raeleigh got up the next morning. The first thing she did was to look out of the window, but there was no one outside. While she thought about this, Xanthus knocked on the door and asked Raeleigh to eat.

Raeleigh walked downstairs and saw that Jepherson was sitting on the table waiting for her to start eating breakfast.

"You're awake?" Jepherson asked when he saw Raeleigh, but she didn't answer. She just walked to the other end of the table and sat down. Jepherson tugged at Raeleigh's face as he looked at it carefully. After a while, she lowered her head and said, "The matter has been settled. I'm going to the hospital later. Come with me."

"I don't want to go to the hospital. You go ahead."

"If you don't go, Mom will be worried."

You're guilt tripping me."

Jepherson didn't know how to respond to that. He picked up his bowl to eat. Raeleigh was depressed and didn't want to eat. After breakfast, Raeleigh got changed immediately. Thinking about how she needed to go out but wouldn't know if anything would happen while she was out, Raeleigh changed her mind.

After taking off her clothes, Raeleigh took off her shoes to stay at home. Jepherson, who was sitting inside, looked at Raeleigh and asked. "Are you scared?"

Raeleigh puckered her lips. It was unnecessary for him to ask whether she was afraid.

Xanthus asked them, "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." Not waiting for Raeleigh to speak, Jepherson answered first. Raeleigh walked over to Xanthus and helped him clean up the table. After Xanthus asked her about what happened in the kitchen, she finally told him what Paige had said.

"Since she said so, she'd definitely do it. We need to be careful." Xanthus felt that it was time to leave.

"We'll talk about it in a few days. I want him to leave so that..."

"Raeleigh..."

Before Raeleigh finished her words, Xanthus interrupted her. Raeleigh then raised her head and hummed in response.

"Paige hates you and thinks that you've taken her favorite grandson away. Even if you give up now, there are no promises that she will let you go." Raeleigh was silent.

Of course, she knew about this. But...

Raeleigh lowered her head slightly. "I can't hurt Paige just because of this, or can I kill her with a fit of anger?"

"Rest first. I won't go out for the next two days and will just stay at home to keep you company."

Xanthus would not stop worrying if Raeleigh was alone. Staying here was best for both of them.

Patting Raeleigh on the shoulder, Xanthus pushed Raeleigh out of the room and stayed in the kitchen alone. He really missed Santiago. Raeleigh found somewhere to sit and watched TV in a daze. Jepherson leaned against her, asking her, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about how unlucky I am to have met you!"

Since Raeleigh's mind was in a chaotic state, it showed in her actions and attitude.

Jepherson raised his eyebrows. "You're unlucky because you're just a very unfortunate person."

"You're so shameless."

"As are you."

Silence ensued between the two.

Raeleigh felt like she was going mad, so she went upstairs while Jepherson sat downstairs and smiled with amusement. However, when afternoon came, Jepherson could no longer smile; his face a big contrast from his earlier expression.

Flynt called Raeleigh before coming over and asked if she had the time to help him watch the store for a day.

Though Raeleigh did not actually want to do it, Flynt kept droning on and on about how he had important guests to entertain that day, and that he wouldn't be able to leave. Thus, Raeleigh promised to come help. When Flynt arrived, he knocked on the door and Xanthus opened it.

Jepherson stood up when he saw Flynt. Just then, Raeleigh changed out of her home clothes and was ready to go downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Jepherson's face was grim. Raeleigh looked at him as she went downstairs, but she did not answer.

"I'm asking you a question." Normally, Jepherson could let many things slide, but when it came to his enemies, he would not let his relationship be jeopardized.

Raeleigh did not answer until she came downstairs, "I have to go out. Can't I?"

"It's not that you can't, but rather, it's impossible for you to go."

Jepherson walked to Raeleigh and looked down at her. He pinched her soft chin and said, "Don't go out. Stay home with me."

"Jepherson, you..."

"You can get lost now." Jepherson turned around, his face and gaze piercingly cold as he stared straight at Flynt.

Flynt stood at the door. He was only here to pick Raeleigh up, so he had not gotten out of his footwear. He remained at the door and said with a smile, "Things are over between you two. Even if there's still some lingering elements of a relationship, you have no right to interfere with Raeleigh's interaction with others."

"I'm very clear whether I have the right to or not. Get out of here right now."

Jepherson stepped towards Flynt. Feeling as if things were about to take a turn for the worse, Raeleigh quickly followed and tugged on Jepherson's arm. His face was aghast as he stared at Flynt. "Are you leaving or not?"

"I've already left the Cole family. Isn't that enough? I just want to be friends with Raeleigh."

"I don't care who you're friends with. But Raeleigh is mine. You'd better understand this well, or you will be responsible for whatever happens."

"Capital City is not the Harvey family's territory. You don't have to threaten me. Raeleigh and I are..."

"Enough, stop talking. Please go." Raeleigh felt that Jepherson was about to lose his temper and immediately interrupted Flynt. Flynt looked at Raeleigh in shock, "Raeleigh, do you really care about him this much?"

"It's not that I care. I'm just worried that something might happen to you. You can go. I can't help you with your shop. Please go."

Raeleigh pulled Jepherson along while hinting Flynt to leave immediately. Even though he was unwilling to go, he still turned on his heel after hearing Raeleigh asking him to.

Flynt's car was parked nearby. After getting it, Flynt leaned against the car door, looked up and took a deep breath.

Raeleigh had been keeping an eye on what went on outside. She watched as Flynt drove away, just as she watched Jepherson make a call.

She couldn't hear their conversation, but knew that he was on the phone and was in a bad mood.

After ending his call, Jepherson took a look at Raeleigh, sat down on the sofa and said nothing more. Raeleigh had decided against going out as well.

The day passed quickly, but before it got dark, Raeleigh caught yet another piece of news from the TV.

Flynt had met with a car accident and was seriously injured in the hospital.

Raeleigh paused and slowly observed Jepherson, who was watching TV next to her. With a frown, Jepherson turned to look at Raeleigh as well.

He remained silent, not wanting to be the first to speak. Raeleigh pursed her lips. "Did you do this?"

Raeleigh remembered Jepherson's phone call, but the latter made no notion to speak to Raeleigh as he continued staring at her without saying a word. Raeleigh asked him again, "Did you do this?"

"Yes." Jepherson's sudden reply made Raeleigh freeze for a moment as she sat there like a ball out of air, face completely pale.

"Do you care about him?" Jepherson frowned as Raeleigh stared wide-eyed at him. "You've gone too far," she said.

"Do you care about him?"

Jepherson only wanted to know the answer.

Raeleigh did not answer Santiago's question but just pursed her lips. Then, she stood up, "I'm going to see him. Try getting someone to set me up and get me killed too if you like."

After Raeleigh finished speaking, she walked towards the door. Knowing that things between the two were going to turn sour in an instant, Xanthus quickly held Raeleigh back from leaving. Thus, she remained at home instead of going out.

Although Raeleigh didn't leave, Jepheson left without a word that night.
