Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh briefly glanced at Austin before turning around and making her way back to her room.

Raeleigh entered the door and recalled what had happened that year. Raeleigh slowly closed her eyes, feeling the exhaustion creeping up on her.

Santiago was still awake at this time. When he heard that Raeleigh was back, he said, “Come here.”

Raeleigh walked over, took off her shoes and sat on the bed where Santiago slept. She leaned against the bed. Santiago raised his hand and touched Raeleigh’s head.

“What’s wrong?”

Raeleigh said, “Austin told me that your family would usually reserve sperms.”

Santiago took back his hand and looked at Raeleigh. “He found out?”

Raeleigh shook her head. “I did not tell him the truth.”

Santiago put his hand down. “Austin is too smart.”

Raeleigh’s hands were cold. She leaned against Santiago. “I’m not afraid that Austin will tell Jepherson. It’s just that if Austin can think of this, I’m sure he can too.”

“…”

Raeleigh did not sleep much the whole night. When they got up the next morning, all the children saw Raeleigh and Santiago sleeping on the same bed.

Shaney, in particular, did not look happy, but she did not say anything. When Raeleigh woke up and saw the look on Shaney’s face, she said to her daughter, “I came back yesterday night…”

“You don’t have to explain yourself. Mom, if you like Uncle Santiago, then we’re leaving.”

Raeleigh froze for a while and said, “Do you really want to stay with your dad?”

Shaney shook her head. “No, I want to stay with Uncle Santiago. He promised to bring me to Cape Haijiao.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. “Then, you should go.”

On the same night, Raeleigh and the rest returned to Waverly Village after having dinner. Jacky’s car was waiting for them outside.

After Raeleigh got into the car, she leaned against the window. They had to split into two cars as there were too many of them. Deanna sat beside Raeleigh. She asked Raeleigh who she loved most. She even asked Raeleigh whether she intended to spend the rest of her life being single.

At first, Raeleigh just fixed her eyes on Deanna, but eventually replied.

Raeleigh said, “I haven’t thought about it, but I definitely do not want to die alone.”

Deanna just smiled, “I thought you would know how to cherish yourself, but now I think you’re quite silly.”

If it was in the past, Raeleigh would not believe that those words came out of Deann’s mouth, but now she believed. People would change as they grew older. However, some people’s growth was so amazing, such as Deanna’s.

Raeleigh read one of Deanna’s books before. Her inner world was beyond anyone’s imagination. It was not like what others saw. She knows a lot. Pure romance was just a kind of vent of one’s personality. The real Deanna was very shocking.

Her personality of being aloof from worldly affairs has made who she was. Deanna can take care of everything easily. If a person who wouldn’t even be shocked by death cannot be counted as a legend, then what can?

But not many people understood this.

“Jepherson has done a lot wrong. I don’t like him either. He will do anything to achieve his goal. But his love for you is everlasting. The most important thing is that you also love Jepherson.”

Deanna held Raeleigh’s hand. Raeleigh said, “Those things are in the past. Let’s not talk about it. Jepherson and I are destined to be a mistake.”

“If it’s really a mistake, then why did you stay and take care of him? It’s not like he was going to die. If you want to leave, you would have, right?”

Raeleigh looked at Deanna and said, “You won’t understand. Jepherson is very determined like you said. He is a man who will do anything to reach his goals. Do you think he will let me go so easily? He’s very scheming. He brought me into his world and I did my best to find my footing. When I finally found it, I did not leave him, but I also realised that I’m just his puppet. He used me to kill countless enemies, to take over the entire city. But I didn’t know that I was watching the world of mortals passing by me…”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Deanna slowly turned to Raeleigh and understood. “Even so, have you ever thought that of all the people in the world, why did he choose you?”

Raeleigh looked ahead and said after a long time, “I know.”

“Since you know, then why aren’t you willing to stay? Do you really feel good watching him die on his own?”

“No, but I can’t help it. If I had the choice, I wouldn’t have come back.”

“So you think he’s happy now that you’re back?”

Raeleigh looked outside and said, “He’s not, so am I. What about Santiago?”

“You’ve been through this before. You and Santiago will not work out. I’m sure the both of you are aware. Why do you want to keep trying? You’ve wasted so much time already. The only person who has to walk away from this love triangle is Santiago.”

Raeleigh held her hands. “It is unfair to him.”

“It’s not up to you to decide. If I were Santiago, I would have walked away. Raeleigh, don’t think that you can control other people’s live. Santiago is a grown man, so he knows what to do. On the contrary, you are in the way of his decision. You are what’s stopping him from leaving. Please don’t hurt them in this way. They have reached a consensus on this matter, why don’t you accept it?”

“But did anyone ask for my opinion? I’m not their toy.”

“If you have to be this petty, then love won’t exist in the world.”

Raeleigh looked at Deanna. “What about you? Are you not petty?”

Deanna glanced at Jacky, who was driving. He had not spoken a single word. Deanna said, “I know that Jacky thinks about you all the time. I’ve never been mad at him for that.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. The colour slowly draining from her face.

Jacky took a look at Deanna through the rearview mirror. Deanna looked at Jacky and said, “Raeleigh, there can’t be only one true love in one’s life. I’ve been in your position. I used to like Jepherson and once thought of myself as his wife. But now that I think about it, it’s like a cool breeze in the summer. It’s self-evident how comfortable it is. I’ve also liked Santiago before. Even to this day, I feel that it was a very beautiful dream that I’ve really loved someone called Santiago. After all, he’s so handsome and unrestrained.

However, whether it is the cool wind in summer or the warm wind in winter, they can’t compare with a person who can shelter me from the wind and the cold.

A person would meet a lot of people in their lifetime, but not everyone will be there at the end.

Perhaps you met someone who really loved you at the very beginning, but he left you halfway. You began to look for another person, bear the pain of growth and go through grievances.

When you turn back and look at your life, you would just laugh at yourself. Then you might meet another person that captured your heart, but you can’t keep the person.

At the end, your first love appeared again, but he’s a little late and you aren’t willing to take him back. Although you refuse to accept him, he is still willing to accompany you for the rest of your life. Do you understand?”
