Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson’s neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson’s arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound.

Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. “What should we do?”

Jepherson’s voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests.

“He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn’t want him anymore since he couldn’t find you, and probably thinks that I’m the one who forced him to stay there.”

After bandaging Jepherson’s wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten’s mouth. Suddenly, Carsten’s body trembled, frightening her. Jepherson immediately sat up and gave Carsten gentle pats. Carsten buried his face in Jepherson’s chest and finally quieted down.

Raeleigh sat down and looked at Jepherson’s haggard face. “Let me take over.”

“It’s alright. You didn’t get enough rest.”

Jepherson took off his shoes and shifted towards the middle of the bed. He laid down while holding Carsten and placed a kiss on his head.

Raeleigh eyed him. “How did you come to know his condition so well?”

“I was like this too when I was younger. After losing my mother, I dreamed of seeing her every day.”

Jepherson explained as he laid there weakly. Raeleigh felt tired for him just by looking at him.

She thought she must have done something wrong, and all this was her fault.

When Jepherson and Carsten fell asleep, Raeleigh got up and went to take a shower. She thought Jepherson had already fallen asleep, so she didn’t expect to see him standing at the door when she came out of the shower.

Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. Then, she pulled the bath towel to her chest out of fear of being seen.

Since she and Jepherson slept in separate rooms in the past few years, they had not been close to each other for a long time.

Jepherson stared at Raeleigh and said, “I need to pee.”

Raeleigh quickly moved out of the way and let Jepherson in. However, he didn’t move and just stood there.

“Come in. I’m going out.”

Only then did Jepherson enter the bathroom.

The bathroom in the hotel was not as spacious as the one in Raeleigh’s home. Raeleigh even thought that the bathroom was a little small, and the bath towel was hardly big enough. After Jepherson came in, she had even less space to move around. When she was about to get out of the bathroom, Jepherson grabbed her by the wrist.

He pressed her against the wall, and she panicked. “You’re in mourning.”

“What about after the mourning period?”

Raeleigh glanced outside and said, “Carsten is outside.”

“What other excuses do you have besides these? Do you really want to drive Carsten and I crazy before you finally come back to us?”

Jepherson tightened his grip on Raeleigh, but she pushed him away. “I’m not! This is too sudden. I’m not ready yet, and…”

Before she could finish her words, Jepherson covered her mouth with his hand. Raeleigh was stunned, and her whole body went stiff.

Jepherson paused for a moment, then pushed Raeleigh over and kissed her hard. Shock set into Raeleigh’s skin before she grew familiar with the feeling. She then  wrapped her arms around him and began to kiss him back.

…

When Raeleigh woke up, she found herself sleeping beside Carsten, who was holding her tightly. She looked around and realized Jepherson was not in the room, and had left her a note.

Apparently, he had gone back to the Richards family home, and he wanted Raeleigh to call him if anything came up.

Raeleigh looked down at her chest and noticed that it was covered in hickeys.

After sleeping in for a while longer, Raeleigh rubbed Carsten’s tiny face affectionately. Carsten opened his eyes and looked at Raeleigh. He got up and sat up, looking around the room. He seemed unhappy when he couldn’t find Jepherson. Then, he got off the bed and ran to knock on the door barefooted.

Raeleigh immediately called Jepherson, and it didn’t take long for him to come to the hotel.

When Jepherson entered the room, Carsten was lying in Raeleigh’s arms, sulking.

When he saw Jepherson come in, he immediately leaped out of Raeleigh’s arms. Jepherson bent down and scooped him up.

“I had just gone to check on the car downstairs. Were you scared?” Jepherson shook Carsten playfully. Carsten replied, “You and Mom must stay together.”

Jepherson chuckled and glanced at Raeleigh. “Okay, let’s stay together.”

Then, he whispered, his eyes fixed on Raeleigh, “We’ve always been together.”

“But you don’t live together.”

Raeleigh stifled a giggle. “Shall we live together after we get home?”

“Dad, I want to go home.”

A tense silence fell in between the three for a moment.

Raeleigh was utterly speechless.

“Your great-grandmother had just passed away a few days ago, so your great-grandfather is very sad. Grandpa also feels down, so I can’t leave him alone because I’m his son. Will you leave me alone if I were to fall sick one day?”

Carsten seemed to have understood what Jepherson meant. He looked at Raeleigh and said, “Mom will go back with you later, Dad. Will you please ask Mom if she wants to stay? No one can leave from now on.”

Carsten stared at Raeleigh as if waiting for her to answer.

Raeleigh finally realized why Carsten refused to talk. It was all because of her.

“Carsten, I promise you that I won’t break up with Dad again, okay?”

Carsten looked at Raeleigh doubtfully. Raeleigh wanted to prove that she was telling the truth but didn’t know how to. Growing anxious, she stood on her toes and placed a kiss on Jepherson’s lips.

Carsten was stunned for a moment, and Raeleigh immediately blushed.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m doing this for Carsten.”

Raeleigh shot a look at Carsten. He did not seem to understand what Raeleigh was doing as he leaned on Jepherson’s shoulder.

“Carsten, do you know what a kiss is?” Jepherson asked. Raeleigh stared at him and chided, “Why are you teaching a child everything?”

Jepherson pulled Raeleigh close and lowered his head to kiss her. Carsten chuckled when he saw their interaction. Raeleigh shot Jepherson a look, and Jepherson said, “Since we’re going to be together, we have to kiss first.”

Carsten raised his head to look at Jepherson as if he knew exactly what he meant.

Carsten then turned around and waited for Raeleigh to kiss Jepherson, leaving Raeleigh no choice but to do so. This time, Jepherson did not let her leave immediately. As he held Carsten with one hand and her with the other, he deepened the kiss, and he let his lips stay on hers for a long while.

Raeleigh’s face turned a darker shade of red when she saw Jepherson close his eyes.

How embarrassing it is for them to behave like this at such an age!

After that, Raeleigh bashfully stood aside as if she had committed a shameful crime.

Carsten then reached out to Raeleigh, indicating that he wanted a hug. She quickly took him in her arms, and he became much quieter as she held him.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

When Raeleigh and Jepherson’s eyes met, she asked, “What do you want to do next?”

“Let’s go back and visit Mom and Dad.”

Raeleigh nodded in agreement.

However, she didn’t expect that she would give in to him after keeping strong for so long.

Perhaps she had begun to repent.
