Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1083 He Also Felt Uncomfortable

Everyone turned to look at the entrance, including Raeleigh. When she saw Jepherson, she did not expect to get up, but the atmosphere in the room was a little unusual.

"I thought you said you were playing poker?" Jepherson asked, still standing at the entrance. Raeleigh suddenly looked at her current position. Then, she got up and tried to explain herself. When she saw the displeasure in Jepherson's eyes, she did not know what to say.

"Why didn't you tell us that you were coming back?" Santiago asked as he rose to his feet. He tucked his hands in his pocket with a calm expression on his face.

Scarlette gulped, lowering her head. She was scared out of her wits.

She did not think that there was anything wrong with it, but when did Jepherson come home? Why didn't he say anything?

"I just came back. Am I interrupting anything?" Jepherson's eyes were calm as he stared at Santiago.

Santiago thought for a moment and said, "You've misunderstood. Raeleigh just..."

"What about Raeleigh?" Jepherson asked. Raeleigh asked worriedly, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing. I'm just feeling tired. Can you follow me upstairs?" Jepherson turned around and made his way upstairs. Raeleigh followed suit. There was an unusual feeling.

Scarlette heaved a sigh of relief when Raeleigh headed upstairs. Jepherson must have misunderstood something.

Santiago turned around and watched as Raeleigh went upstairs into her room. He quietly followed her upstairs. Deanna was downstairs with the rest while they watched Santiago walk upstairs. She wondered why Santiago needed to follow Raeleigh.

When Santiago arrived upstairs, he stood outside of Raeleigh's room, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. After a while, he came back downstairs.

Deanna was at a loss for words. Why did he have to eavesdrop?

"Why did you come home?" Raeleigh asked after a while. She remained standing at the door after entering the room. Jepherson walked over to the window after entering the room. Raeleigh did not say anything until she was sure that Santiago had left.

"You guys..."

Jepherson swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue. It was not that he did not believe Raeleigh. There were just some things that he could not stop himself from thinking, especially when it concerned Santiago.

Raeleigh did not answer. She knew that Jepherson did not want an explanation about what was going on between her and Santiago. He wanted an explanation for their conversation earlier.

As her boyfriend, Jepherson trusted her. He also trusted Santiago because he was his brother. Jepherson just did not know how to ask her after what he saw.

Raeleigh stood there for a while without saying a word.

Jepherson turned around to look at her, unmoving.

Raeleigh walked over and sat on the bed. She lowered her head and said, "I think we should take a break for a while. I need some time to think through some things." Jepherson frowned. "Why?"

Raeleigh shook her head and did not want to say it.

The room fell silent. Both of them did not say anything. Paige called Jepherson to ask him where he was and whether he had met up with Deanna.

However, she could not reach Jepherson. So, she had no choice but to call Stuart. Stuart had to relay the message to Jepherson. He immediately walked up to Raeleigh's room and knocked on the door. When Raeleigh heard the knock, she got up from the bed, ending the silence in the room.

After opening the door, Stuart smiled at Raeleigh and said, "Madam Paige called. Is Mr. Jepherson in here?"

"Yes, he's inside." Raeleigh turned around. A few moments later, Jepherson emerged from the room. He took the phone and called Paige.

"What's the matter?" Jepherson looked at Raeleigh as he talked to his grandmother. Paige sounded very unhappy. "Why didn't you answer my call?"

Jepherson thought for a moment and said, "I have something to discuss with Raeleigh."

"About what? What's the point of talking to her?" Paige felt unhappy at the mention of Raeleigh. Whatever the case was, Paige felt that Deanna was the perfect granddaughter-in-law. However, there was no progress with Jepherson's and Deanna's relationship at that time. Instead, it looked like things were decided between Jepherson and Raeleigh.

Paige had her own thoughts. For someone like Santiago, even if there were plenty of women available to him, he had to like them. Thus, she never really bothered about Santiago. She could neither push him to be with just anyone, nor have a say in who he wanted to be with.

First of all, it was not that Raeleigh was nothing special. Jepherson had told her that Raeleigh had many suitors, such as Flynt and Zorion, and they were not ordinary people. Since they liked Raeleigh, it mean that she possessed amicable qualities.

At the very least, Santiago was still her grandson. Of course, she wanted to leave the best for her grandson.

However, Paige was not impressed with Raeleigh's background. Therefore, she was not interested in Raeleigh at all. If it were not for Raeleigh's talent, then Paige would disapprove of their relationship. Paige sounded angry. Jepherson was a little impatient and asked, "What's wrong with Raeleigh? Why can't I talk to her?"

Jepherson's attitude puzzled Paige. What was going on?

Raeleigh raised her head to look at Jepherson, thinking he shouldn't have done that. She did not want to be the reason he had a falling out with Paige.

Raeleigh reached out and pulled Jepherson's hand. He turned to look at her and said, "Raeleigh wants to leave the Harvey Group and she is being headhunted by several organisations. They are offering her a much higher salary. I have no idea who exposed her talent. The situation is a little tricky right now."

"What?" Paige's face fell when she heard that someone had leaked the information. "Who's that rebel? You should investigate this immediately!"

"And Raeleigh, how could she do this because of money?"

"Isn't she Santiago's girlfriend? Where's Santiago? Where the h*ll is he?"

Paige was angry, and so was Jepherson.

"I'm going to hang up first." Jepherson's attitude was unyielding. Paige was furious, but she gradually calmed down. She sat down on the couch and slammed her hand on it. "That's ridiculous. She doesn't have much foresight. She wants to leave the Harvey Group because of money. Who does she think she is?"

Jepherson hung up the phone. Raeleigh did not quite understand and asked, "Wouldn't your words make your grandmother misunderstand me?"

"She has long misunderstood you. It doesn't make a difference." After that, Jepherson glanced at Stuart and said, "I'm going to stay here tonight. You can go."

"Yes, Mr. Jepherson." Stuart took back his phone and left the room.

Raeleigh closed the door and looked at Jepherson. "You didn't answer me."

"Grandma has long misunderstood you. She doesn't like you. If I don't say that, then she would uncover your flaws herself," Jepherson said as he reached out for Raeleigh's hand and pulled her to the bed for a seat. Raeleigh turned to look at Jepherson, saying, "Do you want your grandmother to dislike me even more?"

"Is there any difference?" Jepherson held Raeleigh's hand. He had a feeling that Raeleigh was hiding something from him and it was not what happened downstairs. He seemed to feel that she was hiding something else from him.

Raeleigh said nothing and just stared at Jepherson. "Didn't you say that you wanted to accompany your grandmother this weekend?"

"Are you trying to drive me away?" Jepherson raised his eyebrows. Raeleigh shook her head.

Raeleigh felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of what their relationship might be.

"Why do you look unhappy then?" Jepherson did not want to pressure Raeleigh. It was just that he also felt uncomfortable when he saw Raeleigh depressed and wasn't willing to tell him what was bothering her.
