Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 914 Don't Come Back

Raeleigh was taken to a hotel. The car stopped at the entrance and Jepherson alighted with Raeleigh. She glanced at Scarlette, the look in her eyes explained it all. She was not given the chance to turn down his offer.

"Let's go," Jepherson turned and walked into the hotel. The hotel manager bowed when he saw him. He had seen Raeleigh several times and his impression of her was that she was a soft-spoken woman. She had an aura of nobility and grace about her. Mr. Jepherson had good taste in women indeed.

Maybe she will be his wife in the future.

However, he knew that the Harvey family was one of the most affluent families in Capital City. It might be a torment for an ordinary woman like her to marry into such a family.

Everyone knew that the Harvey family had many mistresses.

Jepherson walked past the manager, who had his head bowed, and into the lobby. Suddenly, he came to a stop, turned around, and shot a death stare at the manager. "This hotel needs to be reorganized." The manager could only drop his head even lower in silent acquiescence, not daring to look up at Jepherson.

Jepherson shifted his gaze to Raeleigh, who was walking towards him. He stepped forward and pulled her after him into the elevator.

Stuart was hurrying over behind them, but when he saw Jepherson leading Raeleigh into the elevator, he backed off to wait for the next elevator.

When Jepherson came out of the elevator, Stuart was already waiting for them, sweat beading on his forehead.

Raeleigh glanced at Stuart and then at Jepherson. The rich were such bullies.

A sense of familiarity hit as Raeleigh walked into the lounge. Jepherson let go of her arm as soon as they walked through the door. Raeleigh made her way to the bathroom as if it was her own house. "Prepare something to eat," Jepherson instructed Stuart.

"Yes, sir," Stuart answered and hurried off. After taking off his jacket, Jepherson went to the bathroom. Raeleigh was washing her hands as Jepherson gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Slowly, he approached her from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist.

She lowered her head and looked up at Jepherson through her eyelashes. She didn't know what was going on in his mind, but from the looks of it, she knew that Jepherson would have her that night. "Why are you so quiet? Are you regretting your decision?" Jepherson said mockingly. Raeleigh was dumbfounded. How could someone like this even exist? Raeleigh pondered. Regardless of the situation he was in, he could smile so effortlessly. Even if the world ended, it would not even matter to him. She was at her wits end over the incident earlier, but it didn't even seem to affect him at all. "Thank you," Raeleigh was not an ingrate. She still had a heart.

Jepherson chuckled as he tightened his arms around her. In his white shirt, Jepherson looked pure and innocent. Indeed, he had a charm that could make girls swoon over him.

"Thank you? That's all?" Jepherson's eyes were as deep as the ocean and they gazed at Raeleigh's reflection. Shaking off the water droplets on her hands, she turned around to face Jepherson. He loosened his arms.

"What do you want me to do then?" Raeleigh asked, her expression cold and distant. It was obvious that she couldn't care less about what Jepherson wanted, she simply wanted to thank him.

Jepherson fixed his gaze on her face, slowly shifting it down to her lips. Raeleigh's face turned red as she knew what he wanted.

After a moment's hesitation, Raeleigh let out a sigh and tiptoed to get closer to him.

Jepherson lowered his gaze. When their lips were about to touch, Jepherson turned his head, loosened his grip, and walked out. Raeleigh was startled. Where was he going?

After a long while, Raeleigh finally came to her senses. Had she been rejected by Jepherson?

She turned to look through the open door and saw Jepherson pushing a dining cart into the living room. "Come on, let's eat," he called out.

Raeleigh went out and stood staring at Jepherson. He had his head lowered as he placed the dishes on the table.

Just as Raeleigh was stomping towards Jepherson, he walked past her and said, "I have to use the bathroom. Go ahead and eat."

Jepherson headed into the bathroom, leaving Raeleigh standing there in a daze. She turned around, only to see that he had closed the bathroom door. Was he angry? Raeleigh wondered.

After a while, Raeleigh sat down to wait for Jepherson.

Soon, he came out of the bathroom. Glancing at the table, he saw that Raeleigh had not eaten. "Aren't you hungry?" he asked.

"Not quite," Raeleigh muttered as she looked at the food in front of her. She didn't have any appetite after what had happened.

Jepherson took a fork and handed it to her. "Come on, eat. You'll starve if you don't eat."

Raeleigh hesitated for a moment before giving in and taking the fork from him.

The entire time, his head was lowered and he didn't even bother to look at Raeleigh. Even when he was putting food on her plate, he only looked at her plate and not at her. "Are you angry?" Raeleigh wasn't planning on asking, but she couldn't stand it anymore.

Didn't she go to kiss him as he wished? He was the one who turned away.

As he chewed, Jepherson arched his brows and glanced at Raeleigh. He swallowed before he spoke.

"Do you feel uncomfortable being with me?" Jepherson asked.

Raeleigh froze for a moment, then pretended not to understand the true meaning of his words. "What do you mean?"

"Are you not happy to be with me?" Although he showed no emotions, she could tell that he was boiling with anger. His knuckles were white from clenching his fist.

"You wanted me to thank you, so I did as you wished. Why are you pissed?" Raeleigh tossed her fork across the table.

She knew that the people from rich families were ill-tempered, and often were nonsensical.

As she got to know Jepherson better, she thought that he was different. However, his current behavior proved her wrong.

Calmly, she stood up and said, "I think I might have misunderstood."

"You're leaving?" In a trice, Jepherson tossed his spoon aside as well.

Raeleigh glanced at the door and turned to him. "Are you thinking of telling me that once I walk through that door, I shouldn't come back?"

Jepherson was stunned for a moment. Those words had never crossed his mind and he had never said such a thing.

He rose to his feet without a word, wanting to stop her from leaving. But she beat him to it. She was already out the door.
