Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 997 Get a Great-Grandson to Play With

Raeleigh pushed Jepherson's wheelchair after she got out of the car. When they arrived at the door, they were immediately surrounded by a group of children. Raeleigh was dazed by that atmosphere, as if she had returned to her childhood.

The dean came out and thanked Jepherson gratefully, holding his hand before they went to have a meal.

Jepherson could not drink alcohol, so all of them finished their meal in a rather short period of time. After they finished eating, they were ready to rest. The children were so excited that they could not fall asleep. That day, everyone had received an average of three gift items. They knew that the gifts were given by Jepherson and Raeleigh, so they all went to the courtyard where the both of them stayed and sat there, wanting to talk to them.

Raeleigh was about to take a break. After a whole day of walking, her legs were somewhat sore and heavy, but when she saw so many children staying in the yard, she looked at Jepherson, who was sitting in the wheelchair.

Jepherson said, "I'll go get changed. You can accompany them." Jepherson then looked at Stuart, who wheeled him towards the bathroom and left Raeleigh outside.

Raeleigh was amused. She sat on the chair and looked at the several kids in front of her. He had to change into another set of clothes just because he had to meet the children?

When Jepherson came out, he wore a loose short-sleeved T-shirt, instead of the usual suit and blazer. He looked like an elder brother next door, which immediately gave people a sense of familiarity.

Raeleigh suddenly understood why the children of the orphanage seemed hesitant to go up to Jepherson earlier on. It turned out that he had gone to change clothes because the children were afraid of him. Raeleigh stared at Jepherson, unable to say a word. When a group of children saw Jepherson coming out, they immediately ran after him and soon surrounded him. Jepherson looked back at Stuart, who immediately left the courtyard.

Raeleigh watched as Stuart left. She didn't have much to say. She sat on the spot and looked at Jepherson, who played with the group of children like an oversized kid. "Are you two in a relationship?" a little girl asked timidly. Raeleigh looked at the little girl's face. She had braids that were fun to play with.

Jepherson smiled and said, "Why do you ask that?"

"If you two aren't dating, then I can be your girlfriend!" The little girl lowered her head and was a little embarrassed.

All the children around laughed, and so did Jepherson.

"Aren't we friends now?" he asked with a smile. The little girl raised her head and narrowed her eyes as she giggled.

Jepherson took a look at Raeleigh and said, "I'm trying to pursue her, but she doesn't like me back. She always thinks that I'm not good enough for her, so she refuses to be my girlfriend, up till now. I don't know what to do."

His statement made all the children turn to look in Raeleigh's direction, and she didn't know how she should react to it.

All of a sudden, all the children ran to Raeleigh's side. Surrounding Raeleigh with their mouths blabbering, they asked why she didn't like Jepherson, why she didn't agree to be his girlfriend, did she feel that he was too poor, and all sorts of questions. Raeleigh was stunned by the sudden commotion.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Jepherson looked at Raeleigh with his chin resting on his palm. His calm and unruffled eyes were full of provocation.

At first, Raeleigh was slightly pissed off. But then, her anger subsided from all the children's questions, and she actually found them funny and adorable.

Stuart had gone out for more than an hour and brought a few people back with him. He brought back two boxes and put them down after entering through the door.

Upon putting down the boxes, the children looked over and surrounded them.

Stuart immediately opened the boxes. There were red apples in one box and exquisite small boxes in the other. A foreign name for a type of candy was written on it, so the children had never seen it before. They didn't know that there were sweets inside.

Stuart distributed an apple to each child, and he then looked at Jepherson.

"The box is a gift for all of you. Don't open it tonight. When I ask you to open it tomorrow, only then can you all open it, or else, I won't give you any gifts the next time. Do you understand?"

When Jepherson said that, all the children nodded obediently. Stuart gave each child a box. The children were curious and shook it.

There were few children in the orphanage who were older than twelve. Most of them were young children. Since it was easy to deceive children, they believed in whatever Jepherson had said. Just like when Jepherson talked about his girlfriend, the group of children believed him as well.

The children happily left Raeleigh's courtyard one after another with apples and boxes in their hands. After they all left, Raeleigh got up and stood in front of Jepherson.

"Stuart, you don't have to stay here at night. Go and have a rest."

"Yes, Young Master." Stuart agreed and turned to leave the courtyard. Raeleigh gave Jepherson a push to his own room.

She entered the room and wiped his face. Then, she helped him lie down on the bed.

Raeleigh didn't quite understand why they had to wait until the next day to open the candy box. She asked him, to which he answered her question by saying, "Having too much leads to toothache. Better not eat it at night."

Raeleigh finally understood what he meant.

Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson. Although she didn't say anything, she had an indescribable admiration for him.

After lying down for a while, he raised his arm and patted Raeleigh on the shoulder. Raeleigh raised her head and looked at him. She knew what he meant, but she didn't want to do it.

"The doctor said that your leg is injured. Your blood circulation will be affected, although you didn't undergo any surgery. If I sleep with my head on your arm, then your leg will be affected too when your blood couldn't flow well at night. It'll take a longer time for you to recover." What Raeleigh said was the truth.

Jepherson still patted Raeleigh's arm. He wanted to sleep with Raeleigh in his arms.

Raeleigh felt helpless and moved towards him, embracing his arm. She laid on her side and held Jepherson's arm. Was he satisfied with that?

The corners of Jepherson's lips curled up into a smile!

He raised his hand and pulled Raeleigh's arm to his waist, wanting her to hug his waist.

Raeleigh did not object and held him a little closer.

Jepherson gently patted the back of Raeleigh's hand and slowly closed his eyes.

In reality, Raeleigh held a special place for him in her heart. She did not reject him. However, their respective statuses were incompatible. Just as Raeleigh had said, the Old Madam did not even give her a seat. It meant that even if she were to marry him and be part of the Harvey family in the future, she would not lead a comfortable life.

He could neither give her endless glory, nor could he provide her with a comfortable life. What kind of love was that?

Jepherson frowned deeply. He didn't want to treat her that way. He wanted to give her his all and let her become the happiest woman in the world.

Jepherson's hand paused for a moment and he sighed. Why couldn't the Old Madam treat everyone equally?

Jepherson clapped his hands again. Should he get a great-grandson for the Old Madam to play with?

Jepherson smiled and calmed down.
