Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1295 Let's Go Back to Waverly Village

He knew that their baby had wrought a bottomless rift between them. It was one that was, for all intents and purposes, impossible to bridge. In truth, that gaping crack was best left untouched, so that he would always be reminded of the pain, so much so that it would always lurk in his memory, that he had murdered his little princess.

But what did this woman want? After such a long time together, she still refused to admit that they were meant for each other. She was deeply loved and appreciated.

Neither of them said a word to each other as Raeleigh had drifted off to sleep. Jepherson wasn't sure if he ought to get into another argument with her, but for ages he hadn't felt as real as then. Even if it was just to watch her sleep peacefully for a moment.

Raeleigh slept soundly for a very long time.

When she woke up, he was no longer in the room. When Raeleigh went to see him again, Xanthus, who was taking her temperature, was sitting in the room.

"You're much better."

Xanthus took the thermometer out of her mouth and looked at it. Raeleigh looked around the room, her reverie still lingered.

She had a fever. She wasn't sure if Jepherson was in her room earlier, or if she had been delirious. She wanted to ask about him but she swallowed her words instead.

"Jepherson came by earlier, but he's already left." Xanthus handed Raeleigh her phone. "He left you a message."

Raeleigh took the phone and looked at the screen. It really was a message from him.

She remembered that his number had been deleted and added to a blacklist. She realized just how capable Jepherson really was. His contact number had been restored and removed from her blocked numbers list.

"I'm going back. I'll tie up the loose ends with the issue regarding Stella as soon as I can. We'll talk about it once I've got it sorted out. You can return to work for now."

It was a brief text message. She deleted it right after she was done reading it. She wanted to delete his number and block him again. But she thought about it for a while and gave up on the idea. She decided to keep it.

Raeleigh lay down for a little while longer until she felt much better. Then, she got out of bed and went downstairs to have some dinner.

"I can't just go on a hunger strike in bed," she thought.

Xanthus and Raeleigh went down together and heard Santiago in the kitchen. "Are you sure Deanna likes this?"

"She said she wanted to eat them." Jacky washed the potatoes and placed them into a pot. After the potatoes were cooked, Santiago looked at them with a strange look on his face. How was she supposed to eat this?

"Are you going to turn them into mashed potatoes?" Santiago asked.

Jacky glanced at him. "You'll find out in a bit."

Jacky scooped out the cooked potatoes onto a plate and placed a fork beside them. He also brought a bottle of barbeque sauce.

He then stepped out of the kitchen and placed the plate of potatoes on the dining table. Deanna's face looked pale, but she was clean and refreshed. Jacky had also blow-dried her hair.

For the first time in her life, Deanna had learnt that there really were men in the world who were better than her brother and could also act as her personal hairstylist.

Deanna thought this to herself, "Jacky doesn't have a younger sister, so how is he able to do all of this?"

When she saw the potatoes, she drooled and quickly sat down, dressed in her white sportswear. She looked like a snowman. She poked a potato with a fork, and then happily stuffed it into her mouth. The potatoes were a little hot at first. Deanna blew hastily on them. She then took a small bite and dipped it in some sauce. "Mmm, this is divinity in the shape of a potato."

Jacky turned around and went upstairs. Not long after, he took a hairband and came back down. He stood behind her and tied up her beautiful hair, making her feel even more comfortable. Deanna didn't mind this at all. She happily ate her delicious potatoes.

"Raeleigh, have some too. It's delicious." Deanna looked at her. Raeleigh sat down and carefully looked at the potatoes. Then, she picked up a potato with a fork. She took a bite but found that it didn't taste good. She had eaten this dish before, but it wasn't tasty enough to make an impression on her.

But Deanna was clearly having a different experience. They tasted exceptionally delicious to her. She nTristany cleaned up the entire plate.

Jacky sat next to Deanna. He grabbed a potato and dipped it in the sauce. He ate it with the skin on.

Santiago pulled out a chair and sat next to Raeleigh. He had claimed the chair next to Raeleigh's as his.

Santiago took a bite out of a potato and looked at Raeleigh, and then at Deanna, who was relishing hers. He said, "Don't eat it. It's not to your liking."

Santiago took Raeleigh's potato away as well. There were eight other dishes and some soup on the table. Each of them tasted better than Deanna's potatoes.

It seemed that pregnant women had a very different palate.

Raeleigh held her cutlery and ate some of her dinner. Scarlette grew curious and wanted to try some of Deanna's potatoes. So, she took a bite and thought that it wasn't bad. It was still pretty delicious. Raeleigh also thought that pregnant women often craved eccentric foods.

No one spoke while they ate, not even Scarlette, who was usually chatty. Deanna loved to eat and had a very good appetite that day. She was completely focused on eating, and wouldn't be distracted by anything.

Everyone concentrated on eating, but in the middle of their meal, someone arrived.

Xanthus stood up to see who it was. After confirming it, he told the rest that it was Zorion. He then looked at Santiago. It was normal for one to clean up one's mess.

Santiago stood up, wiped his mouth, and walked towards the door. Even if Xanthus didn't say who it was, he had figured it out.

When he got to the door and changed into his shoes, Santiago stepped outside. Jacky turned around and looked at the door. Deanna wouldn't be afraid of anyone if she didn't see them. So, he had to make sure that whoever it was, they wouldn't take her away from him ever again.

Raeleigh felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, but she couldn't tell what. Then, it seemed like it was...

Santiago went outside and looked at Zorion, who was standing in the snow. It was wrong to beat someone up. When Zorion had first come, he said they only had one day left. Now that a few days had passed, he had to fulfil his promise.

Santiago didn't say anything when he opened the door. Zorion looked even worse than before. He had been very busy lately and Rossie was in poor health. The doctor said that it had something to do with how much love he had asked from her. She needed at least three months' worth of rest. This was undoubtedly very bad news for Zorion.

He was completely overwhelmed by Rossie, and she was like an enticing drug to him. He had taken so much of the drug that he had turned blind to its effects.

So, wherever he went, he had to take Rossie with him. The doctor had advised him about the state of his mental condition, which Zorion found very funny. Did he then have some kind of distorted mania? Zorion stepped out of the car and strode towards Santiago. As he walked, he said, "Just you wait."

Santiago looked amused. "At your service, round-the-clock."

Zorion snorted and quickly entered the villa.

Deanna was still happily eating her potatoes. When the door opened, she turned her head and looked at the door.

She then saw her brother, Zorion. She then quickly stood up with a fork in her hand. She didn't move at all.

Jacky stood up and grabbed her shoulder. "It's alright, I'll tell him."

"I won't go back, I won't go back." Deanna shook her head as she hid behind Jacky.

Jacky patted her back and said, "It's alright, don't be afraid."

She raised her head and looked at him. "Let's go back to Waverly Village."

Everyone there was shocked.
