Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1157

Now that Cynthia had stayed, Raeleigh began to ruminate on Jepherson's matter. She called him for the third time, at which point she got through, and took the initiative to say, "I somewhat miss you. When will you come back?"

There was a long silence on the other side of the line before Jepherson answered, "I'm not sure when I can go there. I have to deal with some things."

"But it's time for me to have a prenatal check-up. Don't you want to accompany me?" Raeleigh said, hoping that she could persuade Jepherson. After all, Jepherson had promised her.

Finally, there was an answer from the other side of the line. His voice was as deep as the sound of a cello, as if he was tugging at her heartstrings.

"Then, I'll pick you up tomorrow. We'll do the check-up."

"Okay."

...

The conversation continued on for a while. Jepherson might not have said much, but Raeleigh was still thrilled. She was flooded with joy even after the phone had been put down.

However, little did she know what would await her the next day.

She spent the whole night getting excited about it. The next morning, she changed her clothes and waited for Jepherson. She deliberately wore her favorite dress and waited downstairs.

Santiago stared at Raeleigh. "You are not going on a blind date. Why did you put on lipstick?"

"Why do you care so much?" Raeleigh ignored him and stood at the door, waiting.

Seeing that Jepherson was coming, Raeleigh instantly went out and approached him. After they met, Jepherson froze momentarily before cracking a smile at her. "Why, hello, gorgeous."

"Hmm..." Raeleigh blushed and walked over. She rarely wore makeup. It had been said that pregnant women shouldn't apply makeup to avoid accidentally consuming lipstick, which would in turn affect the baby's health. She would wipe it off whenever she was having the meal to prevent that from happening.

Furthermore, she wanted to put on makeup, so that she could look more energetic.

Of course, she was delighted at Jepherson's compliment.

After saying that, Jepherson turned around and walked towards the door. Raeleigh was bemused for a moment, as she had expected a hug from him, but he straightaway left.

When she got out through the door, Stuart had already opened the car door and motioned for her to get into the car.

Jepherson sat inside the car while Raeleigh bent down and got into it. There was some distance between the two of them. Normally, Jepherson would have sidled up to her, but that day...

While sitting inside the car, she looked at Jepherson's handsome face. The car was slowly driven away. She hesitated, as her grandmother was right about how she could also make the first move in her romantic relationship. In love, there was no inferiority to speak of. The only difference was whether she loved him or not.

Raeleigh extended her hand and held his overlapped hands. Jepherson was slightly startled before he pulled out one hand and rested it atop Raeleigh's. However, he did not look at her. He just said, "I have looked for the best doctor for you. Don't worry."

"Is there anything troubling you? Tell me, I will help you figure out a solution," Raeleigh said, shifting closer to him. Jepherson glanced at her and turned his head away with a smile. "Nothing, really. It's just that Serra hasn't been found. We're still searching for her."

"After the checkup, I will help you find her. I heard from Santiago that Zorion has found a clue. Plus, he didn't seem to be bothered, so I thought it was nothing. If you are that concerned, then let's look for her together. In this way, you don't have to fret so much."

"No, it's not convenient for you to move around. Let's do the checkup first."

Jepherson seemed to be less chatty that day, after which Raeleigh stopped asking. When they arrived at the hospital, they got out of the car to have a checkup in the hospital. When they entered the consultation room, Raeleigh was a little astonished to see that the doctor was a stranger. He wasn't the one whom she had met the previous time.

"Where is the doctor from our last consultation?" Raeleigh asked. Jepherson placed his arm around Raeleigh's shoulder. "This is the most accomplished doctor. He will be the obstetrician for you in the future."
