Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 865 Neither Here Nor There

While Jepherson was in the bath, Raeleigh stared out of the window. The rain was still pouring and it was not known for how much longer it would continue. She took out her phone. Other than this room, she seemed to be cut off from the rest of the outside world. Even Scarlette was nowhere to be found and had not yet come to look for her.

She had wanted to find Scarlette, but there was a man over there and so she really did not want to go over.

She wondered what the situation was with Scarlette right then.

Raeleigh wanted to call Scarlette only to discover that her phone was out of credit.

Looking at her cell phone, she heard the voice of the operator announcing to her in a foreign language that her phone was out of credit. Raeleigh exasperatedly flung her phone to one side. They were then in a foreign country and telephone charges in this place using her data plan would be charged as overseas calls and hence was very expensive. In order to save money, Raeleigh could only turn off her phone. Raeleigh put away the phone and was about to get up when Jepherson came out of the bathroom. He wore a white bathrobe with a towel in his hand as he rubbed his hair dry. The bathroom door was closed. He looked up at Raeleigh. When she saw her, he said, "Go and wash up. I've prepared a bath."

Raeleigh thought for a moment. After eating seafood, there was a fishy smell on her body, so she had to wash up.

After entering the bathroom, Raeleigh froze for a moment. Then, she went to the tub. The tub had been filled up and she put in some aroma oils and soap. Without waiting for it to become foamy, she sat into the bathtub and felt herself surrounded by a light Sadiel scent with some sweet notes.

Raeleigh had only planned to take a shower, but she looked at the water in the bathtub and she went in for a soak.

Raeleigh had never been to such a luxurious hotel, but she was not affected by the decadent stuff in front of her. For her, no matter how good it was, it had nothing to do with her. Other people were still themselves, but she was still her.

Although these things were not incompatible with each other, they were not of her world.

After taking a shower, Raeleigh came out of the bathroom. Jepherson had already changed his clothes and gone out. Her bathrobe was placed at the door frame. Raeleigh saw a box on the bed with a card on it. She towel-dried her hair while looking at the card.

A string of words was written in French on the card which said, 'If you don't like it, then don't wear it.'

If it had been someone else, then they might not understand what was written on it, but she was different. She had gained entrance to Elkton University as an all-rounded scholar and was fluent in a number of foreign languages.

After putting down the card, Raeleigh opened the box and took a look at the casual clothes in the box. She checked the room and then went to put them on.

Her clothes were not dirty, but that did not mean she could go around wearing the same outfit for the whole day.

She changed her clothes and was about to wash her clothes when Jepherson's phone rang on the bed. Raeleigh fixed her eyes on it and took a look at it. She intended to give it back to Jepherson at the door, or maybe even hand it over to Stuart. However, the name 'Jepherson' was displayed as the caller ID on the screen, which surprised Raeleigh.

After hesitating for a while, Raeleigh answered the phone.

"Bring the clothes out. I'll wait for you at the door." Then, Jepherson hung up the phone. Raeleigh thought for a moment and took his phone to the door with her clothes. The door opened and Jepherson was indeed waiting for her outside.

"Take the clothes and get them washed." Jepherson took the clothes from Raeleigh's hands and gave them to Stuart. Raeleigh reached out to stop him. She said, "It's not a problem. I can do it myself. Please help me..." Raeleigh wanted to wash her own clothes, but Stuart didn't give Raeleigh a chance to refuse him. He took the clothes, turned around, and walked away.

Raeleigh looked at Stuart's retreating back helplessly.

"You don't need to do that. We don't have the relationship that you imagined. If you insist on making this one-sided decision and confirming what it is, then that's your business. It has nothing to do with me. I hope you can remember this," Raeleigh said as she pulled a long face and confronted Jepherson. However, in the end, he burst into laughter at the most inappropriate time, completely disregarding Raeleigh's seriousness.

Raeleigh frowned. "I don't know what it is you find so funny to laugh like that."

"There is indeed nothing to laugh about," said Jepherson even as he raised his fist to his mouth to block his smile deliberately, so that Raeleigh wouldn't see it. As if she wouldn't notice it just because he did that.

Raeleigh had nothing to say, so she stopped talking. She raised her hand and handed Jepherson's cell phone back to him. "Here's your phone."

"Take it with you. Call me if anything happens. I have already made a preset for you. Here are some pictures of the car design blueprints that I have downloaded here. You can take a look at them when you're free." With this, Jepherson took out his phone and gave it to Raeleigh. Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. "Did you just buy a new one?"

"I didn't just buy it back. This phone comes in a pair to begin with. It's part of a complex tool. If one of my phones is lost, then I can use the other to retrace its travel journey and track it down to its current position. Within five minutes, I'll be able to locate it anywhere in the world."

Raeleigh understood and handed the phone back to Jepherson. "It's so valuable. I can't take it with me. If I were to lose it, then you'll suffer a great loss. I'd better give it back to you."

Jepherson looked down at Raeleigh, who held his hand and put the phone in his hand. He did not give it to Raeleigh. Instead, he walked towards the trash can. He raised his hand, and threw the phone into it. Raeleigh froze.

"You?" Before Raeleigh could say anything, Jepherson stepped towards the elevator door. An imperceptible coldness and rigidity were suppressing his furious face, and Raeleigh could tell that he was in a bad mood.

Raeleigh stared at Jepherson, who had walked to the door of the elevator and was waiting there. With her head slightly lowered, Raeleigh straightened her face and put her hands in her pockets. Raeleigh looked inside the trash can, opened it, and looked inside.

Fortunately, there was nothing in the trash can, which was still clean. Raeleigh even suspected that few people could afford to live on this floor, so even the trash can was so clean.

Raeleigh bent down and picked up the cell phone inside. She checked it and found that the outer shell was not broken. That was the good thing about stainless steel covers. It was not easy to scratch its surface.

Raeleigh turned on the phone and had a look. There was no problem with turning on the phone.

Raeleigh took out a piece of wet wipes and wiped the cell phone. She did not plan to return it to Jepherson, but walked towards Jepherson.

After she stopped, she stood quietly at the door of the elevator and didn't say anything.

Jepherson asked, "Since you didn't want it, why did you pick it back up?"

Raeleigh couldn't tell whether Jepherson was angry or not, but he liked to smile at her. Since he didn't smile, it meant that he was unhappy. Except that whether or not he was happy had nothing to do with her. She just felt that it was a pity to throw away such a good cell phone.

"You're very rich. I'm not. But you've shown me and made me understand how rich people use their money," Raeleigh said. Jepherson was stunned and looked at Raeleigh standing beside him. He was speechless for a moment.

Raeleigh walked into the elevator. There was no one else in it. They just stood there facing each other. Raeleigh asked him, "Are you coming in?"

With a slight frown, Jepherson stepped into the elevator.

The door of the elevator closed after he entered. Raeleigh stood still in her place. Jepherson stood in front of her and kept mum. His anger and frustration was neither here nor there, and there was a fire nesting in his chest.
