Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 965 Old Friend

Raeleigh saw Xanthus standing in front of an old restaurant with a paper in his hand. It was as if he was comparing something to the paper.

Raeleigh wondered what Xanthus was doing here.

Raeleigh looked around and was a little surprised when she realized that this place used to be an orphanage.

Raeleigh turned her face and kept her eyes on Xanthus. He left after a while.

"What are you looking at?" Jepherson lowered his head to look outside the window. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nothing. I was just fascinated by the buildings." Raeleigh said somewhat awkwardly.

Xanthus said that his sister was lost, but she always felt that Xanthus's words were not as simple as they sounded.

If his younger sister was lost, then why didn't they put up a missing person's notice like what her grandmother had said?

Why did he personally have to find her on his own?

Raeleigh lowered her head with her eyebrows knitted tightly.

Jepherson leaned on one side and said, "There used to be an orphanage here. However, there was a big fire that happened last time and most of the children perished in the fire."

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Though she did not say anything, the color drained from her face.

Jepherson said, "The children were aged between 3 to 12 years old. It is said that there were no survivors at all."

"How do you know this?" Raeleigh asked strangely.

Jepherson remained silent for a while. After a long time, he said, "It was a big fire and the casualties were all children. How could I not know about it when the people around me talked about it for more than half a year?"

"I remember my parents telling me that this place brings people sadness. Countless innocent souls had died. It's too miserable!" Jepherson closed his eyes as he spoke. It was as if he was tortured by the memories of it. He seemed like he was in pain. Raeleigh did not understand. What was wrong with Jepherson?

"Did you know anyone that died?" Raeleigh could not help but to ask. Jepherson opened his eyes slowly and thought for a moment. He said, "We were not acquainted, but she was very important to me. She might not have seen me before, but I had never forgotten her."

Raeleigh was speechless. What did he mean when he said that the person might not have seen her before, but he'll never forget her? Had Jepherson fallen in love with someone when he was younger?

Had he fallen in love with someone when he was a child?

"Was she your childhood sweetheart?" Raeleigh initially did not want to pry but she could not bite on her tongue. She instantly regretted it after asking.

Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with a helpless smile.

"She was an old friend."

An old friend?

Raeleigh felt that she guessed right.

"Miss Anson, it's our..."

"Shut up!"

Jepherson immediately cut Stuart off short as his face turned ice-cold. Stuart hurriedly shut his mouth.

Stuart turned his face away and looked at the front. Raeleigh then looked at Jepherson, feeling even more determined.

She was surprised to learn that Jepherson had a childhood crush on someone.

Jepherson did not give her any explanation. Silence fell across the car. Jepherson dropped off Raeleigh at the entrance of Elkton University. She wanted to get out of the car but she could not because Jepherson was holding her hand.

"Can you please keep me company tonight?" Stuart heard Jepherson asking Raeleigh as he got out of the car. Stuart then immediately got back into the car and did not give Raeleigh the chance to answer before driving away.

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Stuart and the driver. It was obvious that they were picking on her.

"I still have classes tomorrow." Raeleigh did not know what else to say.

No matter what she said, Jepherson's unique character was not something that she could change.

"I'll send you back first thing in the morning tomorrow."

Raeleigh briefly looked at Jepherson and did not say anything else the entire way.

There was no point talking.

When the car pulled into the hotel, Raeleigh then got out of the car and followed Jepherson back to his room. As soon as they entered the room, Jepherson immediately went to take a shower. After emerging from the bathroom, he then put on his pajamas and proceeded to lie down on the bed. After that, Raeleigh took her pajamas and placed them by the door before entering the bathroom to take a shower. When she was done, she reached through the small gap for her pajamas and quickly put it on before coming out of the bathroom.

When Raeleigh saw that Jepherson seemed to be asleep, she turned around and went to the couch.

She sat down and looked at the ceiling with the starry sky. In fact, when she first saw it, she was in awe, but she had slowly gotten used to it and was no longer amazed by the sight.

Raeleigh stared at the ceiling for a while before falling asleep.

After she fell asleep, Jepherson opened his eyes and sighed gently. Jepherson was helpless when it came to dealing with Raeleigh, who was stubborn and unsophisticated.

She was the most stubborn person he had ever met in his life.

He would have to work even harder the next time.

Right then, he could not disclose his relationship with Raeleigh to everyone just yet. He needed to be sure that she would stand firmly together with him. He needed to protect her. He wanted them to put on a united front.

Otherwise, either way would put him in a dilemma.

There were too many rules in the Harvey family. If Raeleigh was not willing to acknowledge him, then he would be faced with enemies on both sides.

Jepherson then walked over to the couch and gathered her in his arms. He carried her over to the bed. In fact, she was not asleep yet, but she just did not dare to wake up.

Back on the bed, Jepherson planted a kiss on Raeleigh's cheek before hugging her to sleep.

The next day, at around four in the morning, Raeleigh woke up from her sleep and sat for a while on the bed. She wanted to get out of bed, but Jepherson suddenly woke up and gave her a kiss. "What are you doing so Tristany? Did you sleep well?"

"No, it's just that I want to get back to the university a little earlier to avoid being seen." In fact, Raeleigh wanted to sleep in for a little while because it was still very Tristany.

However, the university was about an hour away from here. If she did not go back right then, then the chances of being seen by others were very high.

Sometimes Raeleigh felt tired of life.

There were too many things to worry about!

Jepherson immediately got out of bed. He went straight into the bathroom to take a shower. However, when he emerged from the bathroom, Raeleigh had already changed out of her pyjamas.

"I took a shower last night, so I'm good for now. I'll take a shower when I go back to the univeristy," Raeleigh said as she quickly opened the door and made a beeline for the elevator. Jepherson felt a little helpless as he followed from behind.

Stuart quickly pressed the button for them when he saw them emerging from the room. When they arrived at the lobby, Jepherson asked her if she wanted to eat something. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "I don't feel like eating. I want to head back to the university first."

Whatever the case was, she wanted to head back to the university as soon as possible.

Jepherson got into the car and sat back. He had been accustomed to Raeleigh's introverted personality.

"I will be away for a few days. If you need help, then you can ask Santiago. He will help you," Jepherson said. He had an eight o'clock flight he needed to catch.

He initially planned to spend some time or perhaps do something with Raeleigh before he left, but judging by her mood then, it was best for him to follow her wishes and drop her back at the university.

Once they arrived at the university, Stuart got out of the car to open the door for Raeleigh. After she got out of the car, Jepherson called out to her, "Raeleigh."

Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson. Jepherson just looked at her for a while before saying, "It's nothing."

Raeleigh did not say anything. Stuart was anxious as he thought to himself, "Why couldn't she read Mr. Jepherson's eyes? Boy, is she slow!"

After that, Stuart got back into the car and briefly glanced at the clock before asking, "Mr. Jepherson, shall we leave?"

"Let's go."
