Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1844 Sperm Bank

When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Harvey family's courtyard. Although the

Harvey family had already buried Paige's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back.

However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no

choice but to follow Jepherson inside.

At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and

Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she

saw Santiago.

"Nothing."

Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further.

When Carsten saw Francisen and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms,

wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Harvey family manor that day.

Coupled with the four other children of the Atkinson family, there were ten children altogether, and they From NôvelDrama.Org.

almost occupied the entire courtyard.

Raeleigh was a little frightened to see so many children.

"Carsten, don't play with the others. Stay here with me."

Raeleigh was worried that Carsten would be in a bad mood. However, after one look at Carsten,

Jepherson decided to put him down. "It's okay. Let him play."

Raeleigh glanced at Jepherson's neck. "What if..."

"He'll be fine. Let him go."

Carsten looked around for a while before running towards Francisen, who then pulled Carsten along

with him before disappearing from sight.

Raeleigh took a deep breath, feeling the urge to check on Carsten. However, Jepherson grabbed her

by the wrist and said, "Don't go. He's fine; he's with the others. We're the only ones giving him

pressure."

Raeleigh stopped and looked at Carsten.

Then, Jepherson entered the house with the adults, and Raeleigh followed suit.

Calvin and the others were already seated inside by the time they came in. After Raeleigh entered,

Belle stood up to indicate that Raeleigh should come sit with her. But the latter made no show of going

to her, so Jepherson led Raeleigh over and sat her down.

"Since the olden days, the Harvey family has always prioritized our respect for the elders. Therefore,

the head of the family's position should be passed down to the eldest grandson of the family," Calvin

said, prompting Belle to look at her husband. She remarked, "What are you doing? We've only just..."

Calvin held Belle's hand and continued, "Let me finish."

Belle obeyed and kept quiet.

Calvin continued, "Since everyone is here, let me settle our family's affairs first. Although our family's

currently based in Capital City, we should not forget about A city either.

Thus, I'm going to keep these two places, and you two brothers may decide which of the two places

you'd like to keep.

Let's begin."

Santiago stated without hesitation, "I choose to stay in A city."

Jepherson looked over and asked, "Don't you like Capital City?"

"People change. I much prefer here over Capital City, but Shaney and Francisen will stay with me."

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and told her, "You decide."

"I have no objection."

"Since no one has any objections, it's settled. From today onwards, Santiago will take over our family

business in A city, and I'll leave Capital City to Jerry."

Belle let out a sigh of relief. She finally understood everything.

"Raeleigh, what about you?"

Before Raeleigh could answer, Jepherson replied, "Raeleigh and I have decided to take care of

Carsten together."

"Do you want another child?"

"No. We're happy with just Carsten and Shaney."

Jepherson reached out to hold Raeleigh's hand, but she immediately pulled away.

Belle carefully watched her surroundings, feeling relieved. She looked at Santiago again and noticed

that he looked calm and unbothered.

However, she knew that it must have been hard for him. Otherwise, he would not have left for so many

years.

He was still single and alone even as a grown-up; how could his parents not worry about him?

"Raeleigh, Dad and I can't go back and take care of Carsten for you anymore. Your grandfather needs

someone to care for him, and we're worried about him. Besides, I'm worried that Santiago won't be

able to handle Shaney and Francisen alone, so we plan to stay here with them."

"I understand."

Belle took a sidelong glance at Raeleigh. "Raeleigh, you may arrange our meals later."

"I need to take care of Carsten. We'd better leave this to the servants."

Belle was stunned, not expecting to hear such a response from Raeleigh. Raeleigh then turned around

and walked away.

Jepherson explained, "Raeleigh can't focus on anything else since Carsten is critically ill. We plan to

leave as soon as possible."

"You should leave today then. I'm also worried about Carsten. I feel like he's always so scared of

people."

Belle had tried talking to Carsten, but found that he had a strange and eccentric character. If she were

not careful, he would lose his temper. Therefore, Belle could only watch him helplessly, her heart

aching for him. In fact, she had grown rather afraid of seeing him.

...

After dinner, Raeleigh brought Carsten with her to have a brief chat with Shaney and Francisen. Later,

she went to see Santiago before leaving.

She worded a reminder to Santiago. "Remember to bring them back when you're free."

Santiago only smiled, giving her a vague and ambiguous response.

When Raeleigh returned to the car, she stared at Santiago reluctantly as if she would never get to see

him again.

Although they could still meet again, if Raeleigh did not go to A city in the future, Santiago would never

visit Capital City either.

Santiago's name was never mentioned again in Capital City. Only Jepherson and his children mattered

to them.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Raeleigh had brought Paige back that year, Santiago would not have

brought the children to visit Paige's grave.

At the time, Jepherson was already in his forties, and Raeleigh had aged too.

Raeleigh was kneeling by the grave when Santiago came over and sat down next to her, flashing a grin

at Raeleigh.

Raeleigh was surprised to see him. As she stared at the man who had just emerged, her eyes started

to redden. "How can you still smile?"

Santiago then got up and walked away without a word, leaving Raeleigh at a loss for how to react.

After that, Jepherson stayed with Raeleigh for a while before leaving.

Raeleigh had reached middle age that year. Due to Paige's passing, she fell critically ill and did not get

better until late autumn.

But after she recovered, her body was never quite the same. She grew weak and frail.

Carsten had left with Santiago, leaving only Jepherson by her side.

When there was no one else around, Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "Who do you think resembles me

more? Carsten or Francisen?"

Raeleigh turned to look at him slowly and stared at him as if she was in a dream. After a long while,

she asked, "What did you say?"

The fallen leaves landed on Jepherson as he sat on the bench. He gazed up at the falling leaves and

replied, "I said Francisen is my son."

Raeleigh did not answer, and there was no expression on her pale face.

Her gaze froze as she recalled what happened that year.

She remembered leaving Waverly Village with Santiago that year. Not long after she did, Shaney came

down with a fever. She got terribly ill, and her fever persisted for three days. The doctors had said that

there was something wrong with Shaney's immune system and that she needed to undergo a bone

marrow transplant surgery.

Raeleigh had no idea what to do. The doctor suggested she start with her family members, and

Santiago's bone marrow was the first to have been tested on and found to be a match for Shaney.

However, the doctor told them later on that Shaney would not be able to go through with the surgery

due to how weak her body was.

This greatly limited Raeleigh's options. When the doctor suggested once more for Raeleigh to give birth

to another child for the sake of having a matching donor, Raeleigh was at a loss for what to do. She

had her hesitations about reaching out to Jepherson.

In the midst of her dilemma, Santiago came forth with a solution.

Only then did Raeleigh learn that Jepherson had kept his sperm in a sperm bank.
