Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1569 Can't Leave Him Behind

It was Raeleigh's first time sitting on that bed. After all, it was all new, and she didn't know where the

old one had gone.

Raeleigh sat on one side whereas Jepherson sat on the other.

Raeleigh didn't take off her clothes. Jepherson, who was the complete opposite, was snuggled warmly

in the quilt with half of his body exposed.

Raeleigh turned her back to Jepherson, not daring to look at him.

"Go to sleep," Jepherson called out to her from behind. Raeleigh mumbled a reply and turned the lights

off. Seeing as Raeleigh did not take her clothes off, Jepherson lifted the quilt and laid aside, turning

around to hold her in his arms. It was uncomfortable to hold her since her clothes were of a prison

guard's, and it felt stiff and stuffy.

"Is this garment rented or borrowed?" Jepherson asked Raeleigh softly. Raeleigh answered, "Neither."

"If not, why don't you take it off when you sleep? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Raeleigh felt Jepherson's hands caressing her. She grabbed his hands to stop him from continuing and

said, "I'm going to change my clothes. Wait for me."

Then, she fumbled around to grab some clothes to change. Instead of changing in the room, she

decided to head outside. Jepherson waited for half an hour, but she had yet to come back. After getting

up to look for her, he saw her sleeping on the sofa with a pillow in her arms.

Jepherson walked over and sat by Raeleigh's feet carefully. Since she didn't return to the room, he had Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

no plans to do so either. He just sat by the sofa and fell asleep by Raeleigh's feet.

When Lamar and Jazelle woke up in the morning, they were all surprised to witness such a scene.

"Let's go," Not wanting to disturb the two of them, Jazelle dragged Lamar away to buy some breakfast.

When Raeleigh woke up, she heard the sounds of knocking. Although she was asleep, she did not

respond much to whoever was talking or walking by. However, the minute someone started knocking

on the doors and windows, she was immediately startled awake.

Jepherson was shocked by the sudden movement and opened his eyes. He watched as Raeleigh sat

straight up and was about to bolt for the day, only to suddenly sit down. It was as if she was just

reminded that she was safe at home.

"What are you afraid of?" Jepherson asked as Raeleigh sat down. Raeleigh looked at him in a daze.

Then, she asked in confusion, "Why are you here too?"

"I came out because you didn't go back in," Jepherson couldn't hide his worry, "Are you not used to the

feeling of being at home?"

Raeleigh shook her head and denied, "No."

Jepherson did not say a word. Just then, the door opened, revealing Lamar and Jazelle who had

breakfast in their hands. Jepherson immediately got up to the door and helped them with the food.

Glancing at the takeaways in hand, he attempted to lighten the mood, "It's your favourite."

When he looked up, Raeleigh had already gone back to her room.

Jepherson set the breakfast on the table and went back to the room to check on Raeleigh. Yet, he

found the door was already locked, and no matter how he turned the doorknob, the door just wouldn't

open.

Jepherson stood outside for a while before turning around to meet Jazelle. He tried to give an excuse,

"She might have accidentally locked it."

Yet deep down, they knew it wasn't an accident. It was obvious she had locked it on purpose.

Despite the obvious move, the two of them said nothing. Jazelle went to set the kitchen table while

Lamar went to prepare breakfast.

When Raeleigh emerged from the room, Jepherson had finished washing up in the toilet. After getting

a change of clothes, Raeleigh suggested, "Let's have breakfast."

Jepherson walked up to Raeleigh and lowered his head to kiss her. However, she dodged his kiss

instinctively.

As Jepherson was dumbstruck, Raeleigh changed the topic rigidly, "Let's have breakfast."

She walked past him and took her seat at the table. Jepherson's gaze followed her around as she sat

down and greeted everyone. Everyone pretended as if nothing had happened, but no one could ignore

the tension.

Jepherson walked over to sit at the table. He didn't change his clothes and was wearing the same outfit

he had worn the previous night. Once he sat down, he started to devour his meal.

No one spoke during the breakfast until they had finished their meal.

After eating, Jepherson went to wash up whereas Raeleigh stood outside the house. After both of them

met up, she asked, "Is your friend here?"

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and hesitated before calling Lenold, who picked up the call after a few

rings. At that time, Lenold was just exiting the airport, "I'm already here. Where are you? I'll come to

you."

"I..."

"We'll go to Green House and meet him there," Raeleigh turned around and went back to inform her

parents. Lamar and Jazelle exchanged glances and reminded Raeleigh to be careful before seeing her

out.

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh. Why was she so anxious to meet that person?

"Let's take your car," Raeleigh said after she left the house and saw Jepherson frozen on the spot.

She then walked towards the entrance of the village, jogging all the way.

Jepherson followed her from behind. The two then headed to Green House.

On the way, Raeleigh kept urging the driver to speed up. Jepherson had never seen that side of

her. He felt jealous and unpleasant for some reason.

When they arrived at the gate of the prison, Raeleigh immediately opened the door and got out of the

car. She looked around and didn't see any cars, then started looking at her watch anxiously.

All the while, Jepherson sat in the car. Raeleigh didn't ask him when he would get out of the car either.

At a loss, the driver looked into the rearview mirror and was surprised by the Jepherson he was looking

at.

Since when did Jepherson have such patience?

Raeleigh stood for a while and couldn't see Lenold anywhere. Turning around to look at Jepherson, she

asked while standing on the spot, "Are you sure your friend can find this place?"

"Yes, he can."

A brief moment later, Jepherson bent down and got out of the car. He looked at the surroundings and

asked Raeleigh, "How do you know this place?"

Raeleigh froze before sighing, "I was sent here by Yanora."

Jepherson said through gritted teeth, "And then?"

"Then I was brought to a place and saved," Raeleigh explained briefly without going too deep into the

details. Jepherson fixed his sharp gaze on Raeleigh while she spoke and followed up sharply, "Where

were you brought?"

"Back then, I was knocked out after being stunned. When I woke up, I was tied up and people were

bidding for me."

Raeleigh explained while her gaze wandered. She wondered what kind of explanation would satisfy

him.

"They tied you up like a dog?" Jepherson gritted his teeth. It took him much courage just to say those

words.

"That was how they dealt with things. Prisoners were treated that way."

"And then?"

Raeleigh cast a glance at him and sighed, "It's all in the past. You don't have to..."

"I have the right to know what kind of abuse my wife suffered in a place like this. I want them to pay."

"Why bother? Everyone is different, so of course they'll act differently towards an issue. As a hostage, I

was sold here as goods. It makes sense since they paid for me being here. Who would you look for to

ask them to pay?"

"I won't let them go."

"Jepherson..." Raeleigh pursed her lips, "I killed a prisoner. To survive, I spent a month in a cell with

Austin. There was a warden named Lechen, and he was a pervert. He wanted to r*pe me, and in order

to survive, I killed him."

"Austin sent me out just to save me."

"He might be in danger as we're speaking right now, so I can't leave him behind. I have to save him."
