Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 931 A Phone Call

Despite the slightly poor environment, Raeleigh was grateful to have a peaceful life.

As Raeleigh was cooking, Deanna went to the kitchen to have a look, "Raeleigh, can you teach me how to cook?"

"What do you want to learn?" Willingly, Raeleigh offered.

"What dishes do you make? Just teach me a few easy ones. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn the hard ones," Deanna felt stupid as she didn't know how to cook.

Handing her some cucumbers and tomatoes, she gestured for Deanna to wash them, "You can start by cleaning the vegetables. I started off helping grandma with the washing as well."

Excited, Deanna rolled up her sleeves and picked up a basin. Before she could grab it, she knocked a glass plate by accident and it shattered onto the ground.

"Ah!" Deanna screamed. Putting down everything on her hands, Raeleigh rushed over to check on her, "It's okay. It's okay. Don't be afraid."

"Zorion..."

On hearing Deanna's wail, Zorion dashed into the kitchen hastily. Holding Deanna in his arms, he patted gently on her head to comfort her, "It's okay, it's okay." Aggrieved, Deanna frowned, "I didn't mean it."

"I know, I know," Zorion felt distressed. He turned to look at Raeleigh, who was staring at them blankly, "Don't try to teach Deanna how to cook. She can't." After that, Zorion brought Deanna away. Not knowing how to react, Raeleigh stood in the kitchen as she watched them leave.

Scarlette, who was standing by the door, saw everything crystal clear. She fetched a broom to help clean up the mess. Clearing up the glass pieces on the ground, she said, "Sooner or later, she'll kill you."

"Nonsense. She didn't mean it."

Disregarding it, Raeleigh continued to clean up. She held no grudges against Deanna. Although Scarlette was making a fuss about it, she simply brushed it off. Giving up after receiving the silent treatment, Scarlette put down the mop in her hand and helped to prepare the dishes.

It took ages for Deanna to pull herself together as she was still in shock.

Novalie sat beside her. Compared to the rich and pampered guests, Raeleigh was good-tempered and independent. She had never teared up so easily like how Deanna did. Whenever something went wrong, Deanna would burst out in tears and needed someone to take care of her.

Raeleigh had no one at all.

Glancing at Deanna, Novalie felt bad for her granddaughter. She had been made a scapegoat for other people's mess.

Judging from Raeleight's actions, it seemed like she had a soft spot for the pair of siblings, so Novalie kept quiet.

Watching Novalie leave, Deanna let go of her brother's arms and asked, "Zorion, does grandma dislike me?" Zorion shook his head, "No."

"What?"

Zorion knew his sister better than anyone else. Deanna was not putting on an act, she's still a child.

"I'll check on Raeleigh. I may have been rude just now," Zorion went to the kitchen. Feeling uneasy, Deanna followed him as this was trouble that she had caused.

In the kitchen, Raeleigh was preparing food when she heard the footsteps. She knew it was the Atkinson siblings.

But she didn't look at them.

The disparity between their identity and status was incomparable. No matter how hard they tried to close these gaps, it could not be done.

"I'm heading out." The moment Scarlette saw Deanna, she felt annoyed.

Scarlette was free-spoken and she despised Deanna's personality. Deanna was a spoiled child.

At first, she reckoned that Deanna was a sweet and innocent girl who urged people's protection. As time went by, she became sick of it.

Scarlette brought out a fruit plate to share with Novalie. On the other hand, Raeleigh was still busy in the kitchen.

She enrolled in Elkton University with one reason in mind, which was to get a higher education.

If she knew that she would encounter so much trouble, she would rather go elsewhere.

Zorion paused at the door and walked to Raeleigh's back, "I was rude just now. Please don't take it to heart."

"I didn't," Without glancing at Zorion, Raeleigh served the food she had prepared.

Zorion turned around and followed her out. Deanna was tailing along.

"Raeleigh, are you mad?" Deanna looked at Raeleigh, trying to read her emotions. Instead, Raeleigh was calm, not showing a trace of anger.

"I'm not angry. Go wash your hands, tell Scarlette and Hadrian that dinner's ready," Seeing her smile, Deanna smiled too.

"Let me help you." Deanna was about to head toward the kitchen when Raeleigh stopped her, "No, what if you burnt your hand or slip? You can set the table and help my grandmother out."

"You can count on me. I'm great at taking care of people." Deanna went to Novalie's room. Raeleigh went to the kitchen and placed the dishes on the dining table.

Zorion stood aside for a while. After Novalie was out, they sat down one after another, waiting patiently for Raeleigh.

At the dining table, Deanna was talkative. From family matters to funny stories, she made the atmosphere lively.

After dinner, Raeleigh sat on the sofa while watching TV. Although it was getting late, Deanna and Zorion had not left, and Deanna wanted to stay at Raeleigh's house.

"Raeleigh, I see that there's still some space in your room. Can we stay here today? We can go to school together tomorrow." The reason Deanna went to school was for Raeleigh. Otherwise, why would she even be there?

"My room is quite damp, I don't usually sleep there. Plus, I have already asked for leave as I don't plan on going to school..."

"I don't mind. If you let me sleep over tonight, I won't go to school."

"If you stay here, what about me?"

"Zorion, you can..." Deanna couldn't think of any other ways. In the end, she gave in and headed home with Zorion.

In the car, Deanna said, "If Raeleigh's house was bigger, perhaps we could stay there. Don't you think so, Zorion?"

Deanna's stubbornness was beyond description. Sometimes, Zorion didn't know how to deal with his sister.

"Raeleigh, don't you think that they are your arch-nemesis?" After the Atkinsons left, Scarlette asked heavy-heartedly.

Without a response, Raeleigh simply glanced at her and returned to her room. She stayed together with Scarlette, while Hadrian was still in Novalie's room.

She didn't feel comfortable lying down. At the witching hour, she tossed and turned but failed to fall asleep. Giving up, she put on a coat and went outside to gaze at the stars. What should she do?

At the thought of this, Raeleigh's phone rang. Although she had her phone with her the whole time, the phone call gave her chills in the middle of the night.
