Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 877 To Continue The Family's Lineage

After Raeleigh laid low at school for a few days, she was summoned by the school authorities.

After class, the teacher informed her, "Raeleigh, please head to the principal's office. There's a matter to be discussed." Upon hearing that, Raeleigh walked to the principal's office with Scarlette, no questions asked.

When she arrived, she knocked on the door and was promptly met with the principal telling her to enter. She and Scarlette pushed the door open and did just that.

Raleigh froze the moment she stepped foot inside. Jepherson was sitting there with his back to her. She then glanced at Scarlette.

Scarlette shrugged. Essentially, she was insinuating that he had business with only Raeleigh and not her.'

"I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first," said Scarlette as she turned to leave.

The principal also stood up and walked out, "Scarlette, wait a minute. I have something to verify with you. Mr. Jepherson, I'll head out too to see to some matters.' "Okay." Jepherson was tapping his fingers. He did not turn around and his gaze remained focused on the window. The principal took his leave.

It was Monday. There was an event at school in the afternoon. Raeleigh did not attend it, but most people were participating in it.

Due to Quirina's incident, Raeleigh hadn't gone out for a while and she had been staying in school for the past three days. Her weekends were spent in the dormitory. Raeleigh did not attend any events held by the school either.

Raeleigh closed the door and strode towards Jepherson. It was 4 p. m. Raeleigh stood there, staring at the sunset outside the window. Looking at the motionless Jepherson, she said, "Thank you." Jepherson turned to Raeleigh, "Is there anything else that you want to say?"

Raeleigh did not answer him, but her clear gaze remained fixated on him. She asked, "What else do you want?"

Jepherson uncrossed his legs. Looking at Raeleigh's face, which was delicate and clearly much recovered, he raised his hand and patted his lap.

Raeleigh took a breath and looked around before saying, "There are surveillance cameras in here."

"They've turned the cameras off," Jepherson knew that Raeleigh would be concerned about that and also use it as an excuse.

"What if someone..."

"Maybe you'll get something unexpected as a reward if you sit here," Jepherson patted his lap again, signaling Raeleigh to come over and sit on his legs. After mulling it over for a while, Raeleigh followed his orders as a show of gratitude.

Raeleigh's body was as stiff as a board when she sat down. In contrast, Jepherson raised his arm to wrap it around Raeleigh's waist, taking her into his arms.

"Don't sit so properly. I'm not a chair; I'm here to make you feel comfortable," Jepherson parted Raeleigh's hair and pulled her towards him. There was no light in the room, and the sun was setting. If she were to relax just a little bit, Raeleigh would be able to marvel at the beauty of the scenery outside. However, she was so nervous that she did not move an inch. Her breaths were so labored that it was almost concerning.

After a long while, Jepherson noticed that Raeleigh had relaxed a little and he finally felt her body was no longer as tense. With an arm around her waist, he gave her a pat. He said, "Look ahead, not at me. You have plenty of time to do that."

Raeleigh froze for a moment then turned around to look out the window. Outside, the crimson sky was filled with clouds. The sun Rhyss reflected on the glass, illuminating the office, making the room look like a dated painting.

Such a sight stunned Raeleigh. Jepherson looked at Raeleigh, somewhat dazed. Taking a breath, he held her, rocking gently on the chair. Then, he gave her rhythmic pats on her back.

Jepherson had been fatigued recently. He had gone to an orphanage outside the city during the day, then dropped by the office before returning home. Knowing that there would be a resplendent sunset that day, he hurried to enjoy it with Raeleigh. If it were not for that, he wouldn't have come at such a time. If it was just an inkling of yearning in him to see Raeleigh, he could have come later after he washed up at home.

Raeleigh's stunned expression pleased Jepherson greatly.

Leaning against the chair, Jepherson fell asleep while patting her on the back.

Raeleigh was fully absorbed in the scenery outside as if she was in a trance. The hand that was patting her back slowly slipped onto her thighs. Jepherson's other hand relaxed. Raeleigh lowered her head to look at his hand. When she looked up at his face again, she saw that he had fallen asleep.

In disbelief, she carefully observed his face.

The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window showed Raeleigh that Jepherson was really asleep.

She wanted to get up, but his hand suddenly pulled her back. However, as soon as she stopped moving, the grip on her gradually loosened.

Raeleigh slowly stood up, trying not to disturb Jepherson. She put her coat over his body.

Jepherson leaned against the chair, his thick, jet-black eyelashes fluttering, pleading, "Don't leave."

Raeleigh stood aside and asked him, "Weren't you asleep?"

Jepherson harrumphed a reply in return softly, surprising Raeleigh. Staring blankly at Jepherson for a moment, she then answered, "I won't leave."

Not saying anything more, he raised his hand to Raeleigh and uttered only one word, "Hand."

Raeleigh looked at his outstretched hand. Realizing that she had no other choice, she did not refuse his request. She pulled a chair over and took his hand. Jepherson pulled her hand over, held it tightly, and stuffed it under his clothes. It did not take long for him to fall back asleep quietly.

Raeleigh sat aside and looked at Jepherson from time to time, trying to maneuver out of his grip. Jepherson's hand was sweating as he slept, but he did not let go of her.

Raeleigh could not weasel her way out, so she quietly enjoyed the scenery outside.

The sky turned completely dark and everything was enveloped in black. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, who was still sleeping on the leather chair. She could not wake him until he stirred himself.

Soon, the lights outside the university flickered before lighting up their surroundings and the sky.

The sound of people outside the window and insects accompanied the sight of the stars and the moon in the sky. Raeleigh looked at the rising moon.

Jepherson slowly opened his eyes and stared at the moonlit Raeleigh. Tugging on her hand, he kissed her on the lips. Raeleigh slowly turned to look at him and asked, "Why are you being so nice to me? What are your motives?"

"Would you believe me if I said that my actions were to continue my family's lineage?" Jepherson said in a somber tone. Although most men did not consider that when doing the deed, such an idea came naturally to Jepherson, who was quite calm.

After a short silence, Raeleigh replied, "I believe you."

Raeleigh turned away and looked outside, replying, "However, I won't love you. I won't accept your affection either."

"I'm not in a rush. We have all the time in the world. Take your time," Jepherson answered. Raeleigh looked back at him in distress, saying, "I believe many other women would be willing to bear your children." "That has nothing to do with me."

"I don't understand why you're acting like this."

"You don't need to do that. You just need to accept my love. Accept me and everything that I've given you," Jepherson explained himself sincerely. However, Raeleigh was still unable to trust him. There was no way that Cinderella's story would come true in real life as fairy tales did not exist in the world.
