Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1468 Show Off

Raeleigh was eating less and less. She had already lost her appetite because of what had happened to Xanthus. It was worse now with the barbecue in front of her. If it weren't for the few sides, Raeleigh really couldn't eat.

However, seeing that she barely anything, Jepherson turned a deaf ear and kept giving her food even though she had told him she didn't want any.

She couldn't throw it away, and it would be a waste if she didn't eat them. Scarlette also kept asking her if something was wrong.

Raeleigh wanted to go back after dinner, but Scarlette insisted that she stay with them.

"It's already late. Stay for the night." Scarlette said, sitting in her wheelchair, holding Raeleigh's hand, wishing she would stay.

In all honesty, it didn't matter where Raeleigh stayed. Scarlette was used to her life now; it didn't make a difference if Raeleigh was with her.

She now belonged to Hadrian. He would carry her whenever he could, so she didn't feel bored at all. On the contrary, she would feel bound if Raeleigh stayed for the night.

Moreover, Jepherson followed Raeleigh wherever she went, and she felt pressured whenever he was around. She really didn't want to be under the same roof as him.

Scarlette was getting more and more accustomed to her life with Hadrian. She could do whatever she wanted, and Hadrian would always let her.

"You don't have so many rooms here."

"Of course, we do. We have rooms everywhere. Even if Deanna came, there would still be enough rooms."

"Scarlette..."

"One more thing. Raeleigh, you must help me." She was afraid that Raeleigh would leave, so she quickly told Raeleigh. Raeleigh asked, "What is it?"

"Hadrian and I have already talked about getting married, and we're planning to hold a ceremony when the weather turns warm. But as you can see, the weather isn't warm, and I'm getting anxious." Raeleigh thought Scarlette didn't look anxious because of the wedding but that she would leave.

Poor Scarlette. How loyal to Jepherson.

"Alright, I'll stay, but we're sharing a room."

"Huh?" Raeleigh's words got Scarlette stunned. She turned to look at where Jepherson was; fortunately, Hadrian was with him.

She wore an embarrassed smile and looked at Raeleigh. "It's not that I don't want to sleep with you. But if I share a room with you, what about Hadrian?"

Raeleigh laughed. "I didn't think about that."

"Well, I have to think about who would carry me upstairs, wouldn't I? You don't look like you'll be able to carry me." Scarlette always had an excuse, and Raeleigh didn't say anything but only stared at her. Since she could come up with so many excuses, it didn't matter what Raeleigh said; she would have many reasons and excuses.

Scarlette gave in in the end; she'd have to put Mr. Jepherson's matter aside now. Waving her hand, she said, "Okay, let's sleep together. Happy?"

"Yeah."

Raeleigh finally agreed to stay. As for Mr. Jepherson's matter, she could only try her best.

"Let's sit for a while and talk about my marriage."

She truly wanted to get married sooner. She had initially thought with all that Jepherson had given her, she could call herself a genuine rich woman. However, when Hadrian talked to her about their marriage two days ago, he took out a black pouch, which contained all his savings. She was very disdainful of it at that time and thought the amount would be nothing but measly. But the total amount shocked her; he had two hundred million in the bank.

Two hundred million?

She didn't eat all day that day, clutching onto that pouch for an entire day.

Hadrian only sat opposite her, waiting for her to regain her senses. After she did, she kept asking him for the password, but he never spilled a word, promising he would tell her after they got married. With that, she thought they should get married immediately, lest anything unexpected happen.

"What's there to say about your marriage? Don't you have a house and a car? Just decorate the house a little, find an officiant, and get the marriage certificate."

Raeleigh thought getting married was a simple task; one could call themselves married once the marriage certificate was signed; no reason to be nervous. But Scarlette looked to be very nervous.

Scarlette rolled her eyes and said, "You don't understand. It's no question I have to fuss over it. It is my first time; of course, it has to be formal."

Raeleigh looked over at Hadrian, who was opposite them; he had a terrible look on his face.

He couldn't bear to be silent and asked, "Are you hoping for a second marriage?"

Scarlette looked back. "Of course not."

She continued discussing with Raeleigh whether to eat, where to eat, wedding dresses and taking wedding photos. The most important thing was her bridal shots; it was a must. "You're going to take wedding photos now?" Raeleigh asked in surprise. Scarlette nodded. "I can sit in a wheelchair, and... Raeleigh, come here."

She waved, motioning for Raeleigh to lean in. Scarlette whispered in her ear, leading Raeleigh to look at her in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I think it'll be wonderful." Scarlette was serious about it. Raeleigh took a look at the people around her.

It probably would be fine if it were only Jepherson and Santiago, but she even wanted Xanthus and Jacky.

"I'm afraid it's not my call. I have to ask them."

If anything, she could agree on behalf of Xanthus, but she couldn't say the same for Jacky.

After all, it seemed inappropriate for Jacky to be Hadrian's groomsman, considering the difference in their social status.

No matter what, Hadrian was a bodyguard, but who was Jacky?

He was the king of Waverly Village.

It would be a little unreasonable for him to be Hadrian's groomsman.

Besides, Santiago and Jepherson were the young masters of the Harvey family; be groomsmen for a bodyguard?

Raeleigh thought for a while and said, "Let me ask them for you."

"Okay. I don't need you for the rest of the preparations."

Scarlette thought if she should call Deanna and invite her to the wedding, and Zorion too.

"It's getting late; let's get some rest."

Raeleigh stood up and looked at Xanthus. "There aren't so many rooms here. I'll be at ease if you share a room with Santiago." Xanthus had been a particular presence to Raeleigh since his incident. She would worry about him no matter where he went.

"I'm fine. You go ahead; I'll watch some TV for a while."

Xanthus still wasn't feeling sleepy, so he decided to sit downstairs for a while.

Raeleigh intended to wait for Xanthus to rest, but Hadrian picked Scarlette up and took her upstairs. With that, she followed them upstairs.

After putting Scarlette on the bed, Hadrian left. As Raeleigh closed the door, Hadrian gave her some instructions.

"Scarlette would need to drink a bit of honey water at night. Just a little bit of honey and water is enough. Both the honey and the water are on the table; it's all ready."

"Got it."

"And her medicines are in the drawer. The intakes are all written on the container; check the numbers on it and give them accordingly."

Hadrian repeatedly instructed before leaving.

Raeleigh closed the door and turned to Scarlette. She waved at Raeleigh, signaling her to go over, being all secretive. Then she took out a bunch of deposit receipts from the drawer and spread them on the bed to show off to Raeleigh.

Raeleigh went to her, sat down, and picked up the deposit receipts on the bed. The amount was all tens of millions.

"They are all Hadrian's," Scarlette said proudly.

"Well, you're finally rich." Raeleigh was amused. She liked that Scarlette wasn't pretentious; even if she was greedy, she admitted it!
