Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh went to the hospital for an examination. When the results were out, she looked at Santiago and asked, “So? What is it?”

“You’re pregnant. You’re one month along.”

When Raeleigh heard the results, she lowered her head and sat stiffly on the chair. She said after a long time, “I knew your brother was up to something.”

“Isn’t this the perfect timing?” Santiago sat down and smirked. Raeleigh glanced at Santiago and said, “Who would marry a rapist?”

“You, of course.”

“I’m serious.”

Raeleigh turned her face away. She was worried. She wondered what she should do?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“It’s been five years. You should have stayed five years ago. You’re now five years too late.”

“You won’t understand. He is narrow-minded. Forden is like a thorn in his heart,” Raeleigh said while massaging her head. Santiago raised his hand to help her. She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, saying, “I am very unlucky.”

…

It wasn’t until late at night that Raeleigh returned home. Shaney opened her eyes and looked at the door. Raeleigh came upstairs and said, “Have you eaten yet?”

Shaney said she had eaten and that she was also feeling a little sleepy. At this time, Shaney looked very cozy with Jepherson’s arms wrapped around her.

Raeleigh stood by the stairs. She felt that this was her fault that they had been separated for so many years.

Raeleigh walked to one side and sat down. After a while, she asked Jepherson, “How are you feeling?”

Originally, Raeleigh wanted to tell him that she was pregnant, but immediately dismissed the idea. Jepherson looked at Raeleigh for a while. “Are you alright? Why did you rush downstairs? Shaney told me that you went to the hospital?”

“You know, my recurring sickness. I just feel like throwing up whenever I eat anything cold.”

“You threw up?”

Raeleigh did not answer. Jepherson then asked, “In the past five years… did you and Santiago have sex after giving birth to Forden?”

Shaney did not understand, but Raeleigh blushed and said, “Can we not talk about this in front of our daughter? I never thought that you would bring this up in front of our daughter.”

“Please answer me. I just want to know.”

Raeleigh shook her head. “No.”

Jepherson asked, “So, it was just a one time thing?”

“Is it meaningful to ask these questions?”

“Yes.”

Raeleigh said nothing. Jepherson gently soothed his daughter to sleep before lying down. Raeleigh did not sleep the entire night and just watched them sleep.

After that day, Jepherson’s health deteriorated. He could not even bring himself to go into the office.

He had no choice. Jepherson’s assistant had all come.

When he saw Santiago, his assistant went back and told Hansen and Jenna about the situation here. The next day, Hansen and Jenna showed up at Waverly Village. They knocked at the door at four o’clock in the morning.

Santiago was also surprised when he saw his parents at the door.

Jenna immediately pulled her son into a hug and began to weep. Hansen’s face was stiff. He wanted to slap Santiago, but he could not bring himself to do it.

“Why are you crying? Aren’t you supposed to be happy to see me?” Santiago hugged Jenna and breathed in his mother’s scent. After a while, he let go of his mother and looked at his father.

When Jenna entered the door, she saw Forden standing by the stairs. He looked exactly the same as Santiago when he was a child.

Forden was a little confused. He could not believe that he had so many relatives. He could not even remember who was who at this point.

“This boy…” Jenna walked over and knelt down to look at the child, her hands trembling a little.

“Forden, these are your grandparents,” Santiago said. Forden then immediately greeted them. Jenna was stunned, but she quickly asked, “Whose child is this?”

“He is Raeleigh’s and mine.” Santiago turned around and sat down. Hansen also sat down. He looked coldly at his youngest son. “What the hell were you thinking?”

“It was an accident.”

Santiago had said this. Jenna hugged her grandson and was bawling incessantly. No one knew what she was crying for.

After crying for a while, she finally calmed down. Jenna pulled Forden to her side and protected him. It was as if she knew what Hansen was thinking and did not dare to let him go.

Indeed, Hansen said, “Let your brother adopt him. I don’t care what you want to do in the future, but you are not allowed to see Raeleigh from now on.

She is destined to be your sister-in-law. It’s useless for you to force her.”

Santiago stared at the door. He did not mind missing out on his youth, but…

“I’m sorry, but Forden is mine and Santiago’s. I will not let Jepherson adopt him. Even if I did something wrong, I can’t let the child be responsible for my mistake.”

Raeleigh brought Shaney downstairs. Shaney stared at Jenna and Hansen. She was unfamiliar with these two people, but she didn’t hate them.

However, Shaney did not like what she heard just now.

Shaney continued down the stairs without her mother. She glanced at Santiago and asked, “Why are you being silent? Why do you have to listen to them? Are you a fool?”

“Don’t be so rude. You ought to know who you’re talking to. Go away.”

Santiago’s eyes darkened. With a cold snort, Shaney walked to one side and called Forden, “Forden, come here. Let’s go upstairs.”

Forden was obedient. Usually, he seldom listens to orders, but this time, he did as he was told.

He walked up to Shaney and held her hand. Shaney brought Forden upstairs. She couldn’t care less about her grandparents. Everything was as transient as clouds.

Raeleigh stood aside and said nothing else. She knew her child very well. She could not control it!

“You too. Why didn’t you say anything?”

Shaney was teaching Forden a lesson as she walked. No one knew whether her words were meant for Forden or for her grandparents. For Jenna, Shaney’s voice was so harsh that she could hardly bear it.

Jenna turned to Raeleigh and asked, “The children are all grown up. Thanks for your hard work.”

“Not at all. I was willing to do it.”

Raeleigh glanced at Santiago. “Santiago, why don’t you go upstairs first? I have something to discuss with Mr. Richards and Mrs. Richards.”

“Santiago…”

Hansen called Santiago. Santiago himself did not get up either. However, after hearing the latter’s voice, he stood up and glanced at Raeleigh. “Alright, I’ll go upstairs.”

Raeleigh did not respond. After Santiago left, Hansen looked at Raeleigh. “How do you want to solve this?”

“I never thought about it. I don’t owe your family anything. Forden is mine and Santiago’s. This has nothing to do with Forden.”

“What’s with your attitude?” Hansen was beginning to lose his patience.

Jenna glared at Hansen, “What are you doing? How old are you? Are you trying to piss me off?”

Hansen’s face darkened. “What about Jerry?”

“Santiago and I will be leaving in a few days. During this time, you can have your time with the children. I will not disturb you.”

Raeleigh briefly glanced outside and said, “It’s still very early. We are not ready to have breakfast yet, so I’m going to have to ask you two to please leave.”

Raeleigh said and went upstairs, but Hansen and Jenna did not leave.

Jenna started to cry. Hansen sat by the side for a long time before he stood up. He stayed downstairs and did not leave, but he kept looking outside. Jenna cried for a while before eventually making her way to the kitchen to make breakfast. They couldn’t leave like this, so they decided to stay.

Raeleigh went upstairs. The two kids slept on one side. Jepherson and Santiago did not say anything when they saw Raeleigh.

Raeleigh took a quilt and pulled it over herself. Then, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
