Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 929 Who's Looking for You

Raeleigh couldn't deny that the tofu was tasty. She wanted to keep indulging it.

During dinner, Novalie also complimented the tofu dish.

However, Raeleigh didn't raise her head to look at Jepherson. She did not have a say in it as Jepherson wouldn't agree to break up.

Her thoughts were all over the place as she was caught in a dilemma.

Should I be honest with him, or keep it a secret? Thinking to herself, she had to think of a way to persuade him that she was dating Zorion.

To be honest, she couldn't accept Jepherson nor she could be with Zorion. She did not want to complicate things.

As she ate, Raeleigh was absent-minded. She didn't even look up when her grandmother was talking to her. After a while, Novalie asked, "Raeleigh, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing." Raeleigh put down her cutleries but remained seated next to her. It was rude to leave before the guests finished their meals.

Soon, Hadrian finished eating, and so did Scarlette. Novalie didn't eat much either. Although she enjoyed the tofu dish that Jepherson prepared, she was stuffed.

As the others left one after another, the dining table was left with Raeleigh and Jepherson. He was taking his time to ingest his food. Raeleigh couldn't help but felt impatient as he was being too slow.

Novalie had excused herself to watch TV.

On the other hand, Hadrian had no reason to stay and so he left. He quickly went along with Novalie.

"Are you done?" Raeleigh was agitated. She knew it was impolite to say that, but she had never seen anyone eat so slowly. It was just a meal. At this rate, he would have only finished it by tomorrow. "I'm done," Jepherson finished the last piece of tofu. He put down his cutleries, wiped his mouth, and stood up. "Do you need help?"

"Nope," Raeleigh was cleaning up. Walking into Raeleigh's room, he found a book and read it on her bed.

When Raeleigh was done, Jepherson was already halfway through the book.

The book consisted of design samples with pictures and explanations. Anyone in this field could understand it at a glance, but for those who were not, they couldn't understand it even if they tried. Jepherson had prior experience, so he understood everything.

Upon entering her room after doing the dishes, she saw Jepherson on her bed. Her heart was pacing.

This was her house. How did Jepherson get so comfortable?

"Are you done with the dishes?" Jepherson raised his head and looked at Raeleigh, who was reluctant to go near him.

"Am I the plague?"

"What do you mean?" Raeleigh furrowed her eyebrows.

"Every time you see me, you tend to stay away from me. It feels like I am the plague when you try to isolate yourself from me," Putting down the book, he waited for Raeleigh's respond. Unexpectedly, Raeleigh did not refute this time. She walked over to Jepherson and sat down beside him.

"Can we?"

"No."

As soon as she spoke, she was rejected.

She watched as Jepherson unbuttoned his shirt and lied on the bed lazily.

Raeleigh wanted to speak, but she kept her words back.

As it was inappropriate to discuss, Raeleigh could only sit aside as she got lost in her thoughts.

"Come here," Jepherson was secretly waiting for Raeleigh to go to bed. However, she took so long that he had to invite her instead.

Raeleigh stood up. "I'm going to my grandmother's room..."

"Do you want me out of your bed?" That was a naked threat.

After exchanging looks, she finally compromised.

Raeleigh felt uncomfortable after getting on the bed. After turning off the lamp, Jepherson held Raeleigh from behind as he whispered, "Let's spoon."

Knowing that there was no chance of refusing, she decided to let him be.

She could not fall asleep at first, but after a while, she fell into a deep slumber.

Upon waking up in the morning, she noticed that Jepherson was no longer beside her. Raeleigh got up and scanned the room. At this moment, Scarlette walked into the room. "They went to the supermarket. Grandma said she craved for tofu, so they went to get some."

Letting out a sigh of relief, Scarlette knew that she was in a safe spot. She was happy as a lark and was humming a sweet melody.

Raeleigh went to prepare breakfast while Scarlette took care of Hadrian. As they returned, Raeleigh heard loud chattering and laughter. "Oh, I see."

Jepherson and Raeleigh's grandmother got along very well.

She just couldn't comprehend how someone like Jepherson would fall in love with her.

Raeleigh was cluless. Was it really because of Santiago's confession?

Lost in her own thoughts, Raeleigh didn't notice when Jepherson put the tofu on the stove. He walked to get the apron to make a special dish for Novalie. Standing next to him, Raeleigh stared at him blankly. No matter how hard she cracked her head, Jepherson didn't seem to be someone who knew how to cook. All of this was like a dream to Raeleigh.

After the meal, she said, "Hadrian still needs to be taken care of. I think it's only appropriate for him to stay. Of course, he can also go back to your place."

"If you don't mind, it's best for him to stay here. I don't want anyone to know what happened to Hadrian."

"No problem," Raeleigh couldn't help but blame herself for the incident.

Jepherson lowered his gaze. After a moment, he stood up and said, "Follow me."

Turning around, he went outside directly. Raeleigh glanced at the others before she heading out.

Getting into the car, she saw that there were other people as well. As soon as they saw Raeleigh, they got out of the car.

The atmosphere in the car was tense, but she did not know what was wrong.

"Who's looking for you?"

"I don't know. I just know that it was an old man."

At this point, she had no choice but to tell Jepherson.

"What happens after that?" Jepherson frowned deeply as someone came into mind.

"I need to stay away from you," Raeleigh said while looking outside. She did not want to deceive him, but she was a hostage and also had to consider Novalie's safety.

As for Jepherson, nothing could possibly happen to him.

"I have something up later in the afternoon. If you need to be somewhere, I'll take you there," Jepherson looked ahead. He knew that Raeleigh was lying, but he did not confront her.

"It's fine. I'll just take a taxi," Raeleigh opened the door and got out of the car. Jepherson watched as Raeleigh closed the door.

Rolling down the window, he remarked, "I will find out who was in that car. Take two days off and don't go anywhere."

Without a chance to speak, the window had been rolled up.

Stuart and the others got into the car and they drove away instantly.

Raeleigh stood still and watched as Jepherson's car disappear. She was in a daze. Should she trust Jepherson?

If he could resolve this matter, perhaps she need not go against her will.

After all, she did not want to be manipulated.

Jepherson's face turned cold, "What has the old man done recently?"

A chill ran down Stuart's spine. He was stressed out by the Young Master's expressions.

"I wasn't in touch with him."

"Call him now and ask if Aron saw the old man."

"Okay," Stuart was busy making phone calls. When he received confirmation, he told Jepherson, "No."

Jepherson ordered, "Let's go to the Atkinson family's house."

"Yes, sir."
