Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1604 Forcing

Seeing Callis, Raeleigh blurted, "You're back?"

As usual, Callis merely stared at her, silent. Raeleigh went to him and said, "I'm heading out. You

should get some rest."

Leander asked Raeleigh, "But aren't we supposed to follow you?"

"It's fine; I'm going to see a patient."

Raeleigh headed straight for the Harvey Group Manor in Xanthus's car.

When she arrived at the gates, Raeleigh took some things out of the car. Seeing it was Raeleigh, the

guards rushed to inform Belle, and Raeleigh soon went to Fragrance Garden.

When Raeleigh entered the door, Belle was coming out of the room. Seeing Raeleigh and the things

she brought over, she said, "Raeleigh, you shouldn't have. We have everything here at home."

Belle quickly told the servants to take them away and brought her to the sofa.

With her thoughts on Santiago the entire time, she requested, "Auntie, I want to see Santiago.

"Come with me." Belle got up and took Raeleigh to Santiago's room. Inside, Calvin was cutting his

nails. Raeleigh stood at the door for a while, shocked, even though she had already prepared herself.

Calvin had his head lowered, silently cutting Santiago's nails as he sat in bed, wearing deep blue

casual clothing.

Raeleigh entered and greeted, "Uncle."

"Do you know how to cut nails for others?" Calvin asked as soon as she stopped.

Raeleigh said, "Yes."

"You take over then."

Calvin handed the nail cutter in his hand to Raeleigh, and she took it, sat down on a chair, and cut

Santiago's nails.

Staring at Santiago's fair fingers, she thought, "What a waste to have such nice hands just to keep

them still."

After she was done with one hand, she got up and moved to the other side.

Calvin got out of bed right then and walked to the window, looking out with his back facing them.

After Raeleigh was done, she inadvertently looked up to see Calvin standing by the window only to be

stumped. The father and son looked as if they came out of the same mold.

Belle said, "Raeleigh, you must be tired. Sit down, take a rest. You're pregnant."

"I'm fine. I'm not even two months in."

Belle smiled, "Then this child..."

Belle had always believed the child's father was Jerry. She felt very close to the baby; how could she

be if it wasn't one of her own?

But not everything was definite.

Nothing was done according to people's wishes, just like in the past. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Raeleigh denied, "No."

Her words stumped Belle, and Calvin turned to look at Raeleigh, who had her head slightly lowered,

hiding her eyes.

Calvin sized Raeleigh up for a while before turning back around, looking out the window for some time

before he spoke up. "Belle and I will have to take care of quite a few people; we have our plates full. If

you have time, you can stay and take care of Santiago."

Hearing that, Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Calvin. "If he can stay at my place, I can take

care of him, but I can't stay here."

"Calvin, it's okay. I can do it." Belle didn't want to part with her son.

Calvin said, "You and I need to take care of Mom and Dad; we won't be able to care for Santiago at the

same time. Plus, you're not doing too well yourself."

Tears started pooling in Belle's eyes. "We can ask the servants to help; I can take care of Santiago on

my own. It's not as if you don't know Raeleigh's condition; how can you ask her to take care of

Santiago?"

She'll have to bathe him and change his clothes, and she'll also have to accompany him at night. If you

do this to her, what will Raeleigh do in the future?"

"That's enough!" Calvin's expression turned solemn. Belle sat down and sobbed.

Suddenly, Raeleigh realized Calvin's intention. Even if she divorced Jepherson, she couldn't run away

from the Harvey family.

"You can decline. I have no intention of forcing you, but you're the only one apart from my family that I

trust."

"My son needs someone who can protect him with their life."

"Belle and I will never hand him over to someone we don't trust. You are the only person I trust outside

my family."

"Jerry needs to solve all the problems in Capital City; I can't disturb him."

After some thought, Raeleigh said, "I understand. I'll pick him up tomorrow. I need to go back and find a

new place; the house I'm staying in isn't suitable for recuperation."

"Calvin..."

Belle was going crazy. She suddenly found she no longer knew Calvin. What on earth was he trying to

do?

Wouldn't he only be putting Raeleigh in trouble?

"Don't say anything." Calvin's tone was cold and determined.

Raeleigh turned to stare at Belle. "Auntie, I know what I'm doing; I can take care of him. You can rest

assured that as long as I'm fine, he will be safe."

"Raeleigh, I'm sure you know Calvin is deliberately tying you down. Why are you still being so foolish?

Don't make any promises. Leave, go to your parents."

Raeleigh shook her head. "I won't leave until I see Stella dead with my own eyes. I have to protect my

baby, my parents, and Xanthus. Stella won't let me off the hook so easily; she's a mad dog!"

Belle suddenly burst into tears; Raeleigh sighed under her breath. "Auntie, I really want to take care of

Santiago, but I never had the opportunity to."

Belle did not want to say anything more, only waving her hand. "Raeleigh, I'm not feeling well today. Go

home, come back another day."

Seeing that Belle wanted her to leave, Raeleigh stood still for a while and glanced over at the vegetable

Santiago before leaving the room. Raeleigh said bye to Calvin before she left the manor.

She never brought up taking care of Santiago after she left his room. After returning to Waverly Village,

she went to look for Callis but failed, so she ended up looking for a new place to stay with Xanthus.

None of the houses they looked at was good enough for her. Xanthus asked what she was planning,

and she said she wanted to buy a walled house, best that it was somewhere quiet.

"Why do you suddenly want to buy a walled house?"

Xanthus admitted that it was a good idea, but she didn't have to rush.

"I want to take care of Santiago here."

Raeleigh's words shocked him to his core. Xanthus stopped in his tracks and looked at his little sister,

absolutely livid!

"Are you kidding me?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "No, I already promised."

Xanthus frowned deeply. "Did they demand it of you?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "No."

"What are you, a saint?"

Raeleigh fell silent. Amused, Xanthus mocked. "Are they a bunch of rogues? What are they trying to

do?"

Xanthus shouted at Raeleigh, leading the passersby to direct their gaze at them. No one knew what

was going on, but Raeleigh was unwilling to be seen.

"We'll talk at home."

Raeleigh took Xanthus's hand, and he followed her home. She was still his sister even if he was upset.

It was enough of a punishment for her to receive a yelling, yet she wasn't the slightest bit angry, taking

it all in foolishly.

Being her brother, he actually regretted shouting at her.

But Raeleigh wasn't bothered as she knew he had her best interest at heart.
