Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1845

Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures.

However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition.

At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him.

Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing.

...

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery.

Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he wanted her to keep the baby.

Raeleigh always thought that the baby belonged to Santiago. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have gone through with her pregnancy.

She had never seriously thought about keeping the baby.

Raeleigh stared into the distance and slowly looked down at Jepherson. "Why are you asking me all this?"

"We're just having a chat about it."

Raeleigh did not reply and turned her face away.

Jepherson always had something up his sleeves, and Raeleigh suspected what was going on between them was just another part of his many schemes. Did he ever get tired of his calculating mind?

After that day, Raeleigh's body slowly recovered. Soon after, she received a call from Jacky who said he wanted to get Cedric and Shaney engaged.

Raeleigh was shocked to hear that. Shaney was but a child!

But soon, she realized that Shaney was already twenty years old.

"The children are still too young. Let's wait for a few more years. We can talk about this again in the future. Besides, I do not have a say in this matter; maybe you should ask Jepherson."

Jacky hung up the phone, and Deanna came straight to him.

As soon as Raeleigh finished discussing with Jepherson, Jacky came to see them with Deanna.

Raeleigh felt a little irritated at Jacky's sudden proposal. "Cedric is still a child. He can't even take care of himself, let alone take care of our family. I don't approve of this marriage. Let's talk about it in a few years."

"It's alright if you don't agree, but you should understand the situation first. Call Santiago and ask him what happened."

Raeleigh did as told, but it turned out that Santiago did not agree with the marriage either. When Raeleigh continued to question him, he insisted that there was no need to probe any further and that he would never agree to it.

When Raeleigh relayed the news to Jepherson, his face fell instantly and he started getting into a row with Jacky. Raeleigh was confused, not knowing what exactly was going on. She only found out later on that Shaney had gotten pregnant.

...

That night, Raeleigh couldn't fall asleep at all. She was baffled by Cendric's behavior!

But Raeleigh couldn't pin the blame on Jacky either, as it took two to tango.

It was the first time Raeleigh returned to A city after Paige's death. Before she walked through the door, she heard Santiago yelling at Shaney, ordering her to get out of his way.

Shaney shouted back at Santiago, but he continued instructing her to move.

Raeleigh and Jepherson went in to see Santiago landing a kick on Cedric's belly, sending him rolling on the floor.

But Cedric didn't dare move.

The children were all terrified; everyone was too afraid to make any sudden movements.

Upon seeing Raeleigh, Shaney quickly ran over and hid behind her, pleading with her to help Cedric.

Raeleigh immediately shot Shaney a glare. "How dare you ask me to help him after what you've done?"

Shaney lowered her head and said nothing. Jepherson walked over and looked at her. "What are you going to do now?"

Cedric voiced out his intention to marry Shaney, but Jepherson gave no response as he continued staring at Shaney.

Raeleigh was unsure what was going on between the men, but Jepherson and Santiago were dead set on objecting to the marriage.

In the end, the two of them drove all the Scott family's children away. Jepherson took Shaney back home, and Santiago followed.

Though Jacky brought Cedric to Jepherson's home every day, the latter only ignored them.

When Jepherson took Shaney out for a vacation, he watched over her like a hawk, as if she was his prisoner. Raeleigh felt like she had returned to the time when the two brothers would work hand-in-hand to deal with an enemy.

Raeleigh found herself surprisingly worrying for Cedric. She thought about how unfortunate it was for him since Jepherson was likely to be mum about an answer for the next two years or so; although she did agree that getting married at twenty was too impulsive of an action.

Even after Shaney gave birth to her child, Jepherson and Santiago still refused to approve of her marriage to Cedric. Raeleigh couldn't find a better word to describe the two, other than the word 'lunatic'.

When Shaney and Cedric's child was one month old, Santiago took the baby away. Raeleigh's heart ached and she could not bear to take another look at the baby.

At the same time, Shaney followed Santiago and left too.

Raeleigh stood at the door and watched as the three of them took their leave. For a moment, she was brought back to the memory of seeing Santiago leave her for the first time, his back facing her as he walked away.

Raeleigh had wasted years of Santiago's life, and this was a debt that she would never be able to repay him.

After returning to the house, Raeleigh called Cedric and said, "I know someone who can help you. Go look for them. Hopefully, you still stand a chance."

In fact, his chances were solid; it was only a matter of time before things went his way. After all, the Harvey family could not afford to taint their reputation with news of their daughter getting impregnated at such a young age.

Thus...

Raeleigh glanced at Jepherson, but neither him nor Santiago agreed.

"My godfather?" Cedric asked, to which Raeleigh replied, "Will your godfather care about matters like this? Has your godfather ever cared about what's going on with you in all these years?"

That rendered Cedric speechless.

Raeleigh said, "Go look for a man named Stuart Robertson. If he's willing to help you, then you can rest assured because your problem will see its end. However, you may not be able to persuade him to help you; it's best if your parents can go instead."

...

After Raeleigh hung up the phone, Jepherson said as he read the newspaper, "Even if Stuart's willing to back him up, I won't agree to it. And even if I did, Santiago may not. He brought Shaney up himself, so he definitely won't be giving her away like this."

"You're wrong. Santiago will agree to it, and so will you."

Raeleigh stood up and pulled out a test sheet, then threw it casually at Jepherson's face. Jepherson grabbed the test sheet and looked at it. A frown crept up to his face. "What is this?"

"I went for a check up, and here are the results."

Raeleigh turned around and made her way into the room. Meanwhile, Jepherson carefully looked at the ultrasound report, then shifted his gaze to Raeleigh.

"Are you going to keep the baby?"

Raeleigh turned around and looked at him. "What else can I do?"

"What would others think? You're not exactly young anymore."

"Are you worried about me, or are you worried about being embarrassed?"

"Both."

"I don't want to keep it then."

...

Although Raeleigh said that she did not want the baby, she still kept it in the end. However, she suffered a hemorrhage during childbirth and had almost lost her life. After the doctor saved her, he informed her that she could not give birth to another child in the future.

Raeleigh, in her frail frame and weakened state, muttered, "All I needed was one."

The doctor thought that Raeleigh meant she only wanted one child. But only she knew that all her children were not born out of her and Jepherson's love; only this child was.

Raeleigh wanted a healthy child; a child that belonged only to her and Jepherson. A child that was born for love.

Jepherson was overjoyed to have a son at his age, so he had loved the child even more.

The baby finally drew a happy ending for Raeleigh and Jepherson's relationship.

Raeleigh was still weak when she was discharged from the hospital. After Jepherson placed the baby in the car, he immediately went to check on her. She stood on the side of the road and looked at Jepherson, a content smile on her face. "Do you still remember how we met?"

Jepherson, surprised by the question, was unable to respond to it right away. Raeleigh then got into the car without saying another word.

Jepherson kept gazing at Raeleigh along the ride, holding their child in one hand and her hand with the other.

"Of course, I remember. It's something I won't ever forget for the rest of my life!"

...

Raeleigh smiled, thinking of the fond memory that she would also keep for the rest of her life. Even though there were times when she found the lines of her memory blurred, and some details of the past escaped her...

She still remembered how far they came, and the places she wanted to go.

She held Jepherson's hand firmly and looked up at him, her eyes bright and clear. Then, she turned away with a smile as she looked at the bustling streets outside.

To have met one's soulmate in the short years of human life was nothing short of a miracle. As many moments spent together, and as many separations as it took, soulmates would eventually find their way to each other. Alas, Raeleigh's heart was full of content for having found her other half, and for being able to hold him in her arms again.

Her only regret was that he was still alone and had not recovered from the wounds of his past just yet...
