Getting My Ex-wife Back

By the time Raeleigh woke up again and went downstairs, Jenna was done making breakfast. When she saw Raeleigh, she immediately invited Raeleigh over to have breakfast. Shaney and Forden looked at each other before looking at Santiago who was already making his way downstairs. He then asked, “Didn’t you hear? Grandma is asking you two to go downstairs for breakfast.”

“Thank you, grandma.”

Forden hurried downstairs. He was starving.

Shaney also went downstairs and thanked Jenna. Jenna was so excited and showed her grandkids what she had prepared.

“I wasn’t sure what you two liked to eat. So, I made a little of everything.”

Hansen felt as if someone was tugging his heartstrings when he saw Jenna and the grandkids. In this situation, he could say nothing but just watch the interaction of the two children.

Forden looked exactly the same as Santiago when he was younger. Hansen stared fixedly at him.

Shaney, on the other hand, looked exactly like her mother.

Raeleigh and Santiago sat one side. Raeleigh immediately started eating as soon as she sat down. Then, she brought a bowl of porridge and an egg to Jepherson.

Hansen watched Raeleigh as she made her way upstairs. He had no idea what was going on.

After Raeleigh left, Hansen asked Santiago, “Why don’t you tell me what exactly is going on?”

Santiago took a bite and looked at the two children. “Shaney is Jepherson’s and Forden’s mine. Raeleigh is their mother. It’s as simple as that.”

Hansen alternated between fear and anger. Santiago peeled an egg and placed it on Shaney’s plate. Then, he peeled another one for Forden. After that, he lowered his head and began digging into his breakfast. Jenna did not know what was going on. Her heart could not help but ache when she saw Santiago’s expression.

All these years, the family had neglected Santiago as the family had always prioritised Jepherson’s wellbeing before Santiago’s. In Jenna’s opinion, Santiago was relatively smart and obedient. Jenna could not understand why Hansen had to treat Santiago so harshly?

How could a person not make mistakes in his life? Since the child was brought to the world, then was it relevant to ask these questions now?

Jenna placed some food on Santiago’s plate and Santiago returned the favour.

Jenna suddenly lost her appetite, so she said, “Santiago, let the past be the past. Listen to me. Come home. The house is really empty now. I miss you every day since you left.”

Santiago glanced at the two children. “I still want to travel around with Shaney and Forden. I’ll come home when I’m ready. Shaney said that she wants to go to Cape Haijiao, while Forden wants to go to the Sahara Desert.”

“That’s very far.” Jenna was worried that Santiago would not come back. She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say and tightened her grip on her fork. Santiago stood up and said, “Mom, I’m a grown man now. I’m no longer a child. I just want to be unrestrained once more before I turn 30.”

Jenna nodded. “Okay, fine.”

“I still…”

“Shut up.” Jenna said angrily. She glared viciously at Hansen. He felt extremely wronged. He immediately closed his mouth and stared coldly at the rest of the people at the table. Jenna said, “In the future, do whatever you want to do. Don’t be afraid. Don’t worry. As long as I am still alive, no one will dare to control you.”

Forden raised his eyebrows and glanced at Hansen, whose face darkened.

Santiago smiled and said, “No one has ever been able to control me. Mom, I’m full. Excuse me while I head out for a walk.”

In fact, Santiago did not eat much. He just had an egg and a bowl of porridge. Jenna wanted to tell him to eat more, but she did not dare to say it.

Santiago put on his jacket and walked towards the door. He walked out the door and stood outside for a while. Jenna did not dare to go out. She stood at the door with tears streaming down her face as she watched Santiago walk under the fallen leaves. She could not help but keep wiping her tears away.

God was unfair. Why did both of her sons have to fall in love with the same woman?

The hope was given by the heavens, but it was ruthlessly eliminated. Why did the heavens do this?

…

Raeleigh was going to leave after Jepherson had breakfast, but her hand was immediately grabbed. “Please don’t leave.”

Raeleigh said, “I need to go downstairs and eat. I haven’t eaten anything yet.”

Raeleigh stood up and went downstairs quietly. When she arrived downstairs, she saw no signs of Santiago. She glanced around before asking Shaney, “Where’s Uncle Santiago?”

“He went out for a walk.”

Raeleigh then went to have breakfast. Hansen was sitting opposite her, but Raeleigh still enjoyed her breakfast. After breakfast, she stood up and wanted to help clean up, but Jenna told her she would do it. Raeleigh looked at Shaney and asked, “Are you going to find Uncle Santiago or go upstairs to accompany your father?”

“I’m going to find Uncle Santiago,” Shaney said.

“Then go ahead.”

Raeleigh turned around and went upstairs. She stood by the window in the attic and looked outside. Though she could not see anything, she still stood there. Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson. “Santiago went out. Your parents are downstairs.”

Jepherson paused momentarily. “Did they make things difficult for Santiago?”

“Not really.”

Raeleigh did not know what to say. After sitting for a while, she stood up and said, “I need to go out. I’ll probably be home late. Your parents are here and they will help take care of you.”

Raeleigh then went downstairs. Jenna saw that Raeleigh was about to head out the door and stopped to ask her. Raeleigh said, “I almost forgot that I have something I need to do. I will be away for two days and might not come back tonight. Since you are here, do you mind taking care of Jepherson for me? Thanks for the trouble. I will be taking the kids along. Santiago will be coming with me as well.”

After Raeleigh finished her words, she walked out of the house. When Jenna turned around, she realised that Raeleigh had left.

Raeleigh walked out of the door and strolled along the streets of Waverly Village. She noticed that Jacqueline had followed Heitor and Cedric came out. Raeleigh looked at Jacqueline, saying, “Please don’t go.”

“Cedric….”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Although Jacqueline was young, she was very spoiled. Cedric and Heitor had not been home for many years and missed their sister a lot. They wished they could give the best things in the world to Jacqueline.

Cedric walked up to Raeleigh and said, “Can Jacqueline come along with us?”

“Jacqueline is still young. She can’t go to the places we want to go. We’ll have to wait until she’s older.”

“Aunt Raeleigh, I promise I will not talk nonsense. I’ll keep my mouth shut.”

Jacqueline persuaded Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked at Jacqueline for a while. Then, Jacky came out of the house and stood in front of Raeleigh. He asked, “Are you guys heading to Green House?”

Raeleigh said, “I haven’t seen my brother for several years. I want to pay him a visit and bring the kids along.”

“Jacqueline is very well-behaved. Why don’t you bring her along with you?”

Since Jacky had already said so, Raeleigh did not want to reject him. So, she agreed and extended her hand out to Jacqueline, “Alright then. Let’s go.”
