Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1809 Kissing Her

In light of Jepherson's arrival, a vacant private room had been reserved for him in the hospital's

underground cafeteria. He sat in the host's seat with Raeleigh sitting beside him. Austin, who was

holding her daughter, sat in front of them.

Deanna and the others were also present, all watching Jepherson, Austin, and the strange atmosphere

between them.

Deanna was particularly joyful that day. She had her eyes fixed on Raeleigh's child.

"Shaney, how about I play with you?" Deanna sat next to Shaney and Shaney was having fun with a

toy plane and tank. She even said that she wanted to serve the country after she had grown up

because her uncle was an army for the country.

The girl was sharp-witted.

Deanna was all smiles. "That's ambitious of you."

"Auntie, you're really pretty." Shaney grinned at her, entertaining herself with her toy tank.

"Shaney, can I play with you?" Deanna tried her best to butter up Shaney since she liked her very

much. How could this child be so beautiful?

"No, I want to play by myself. Auntie, you don't know how to play with this."

"But I do."

Across them, Jepherson was engulfed in wrath. He only had one daughter, but now, this daughter of

his was going to serve the country?

There were too many people in the country. In his mind, there was no need for his daughter to be that

ambitious.

However, this child of his had been indoctrinated by Austin and it was beyond his capability to lead her

back to the right track in the moment.

The look in his eyes was icy. Austin took a sip of tea.

The little girl opened her mouth and moved her head over as Austin grabbed a glass of juice for her to

have a sip. She then turned and got off the chair with a toy tank in one hand and a toy plane in the

other. Deanna intended to have fun with her, but Austin said, "She's fine, just leave her be."

Bemused for a second, Austin turned and gazed at Shaney while sitting on his chair.

Shaney ran here and there, but she didn't trip. After a while, she shouted, "Uncle Austin... look."

Austin stood up and approached her. There was an ant on the ground. Austin sat on the other chair.

"Shaney, do you know what that is?"

"An ant."

"Are you afraid of it?"

Shaney shook her head. "No, I'm not afraid."

Bending down, Shaney picked up the ant and surveyed it carefully. "An ant has six legs and an

antenna..."

She was interested in ants. Austin listened to her words without saying anything. When she had

finished speaking, he did not move and remained seated on his chair.

Jepherson cast an inquiring look at Raeleigh. "What's going on?"

"When Shaney was born, I was in a coma for half a year. It was Austin who took care of her back then.

She formed an attachment to him since childhood. Believe it or not, she listens to him."

"She's my daughter."

"I never said she wasn't."

...

The dining table was filled with an air of awkwardness and Deanna was puzzled. "Why haven't my sons

returned yet?"

Raeleigh looked at Deanna. "I have something to tell you. Austin wants to keep them by his side."

"Ah?" Deanna exclaimed. She turned to stare at Austin, thinking how it wouldn't be bad for her sons to

grow up beside a handsome and stylish man.

"Jacky, what do you think?"

Jacky's eyes fell on Deanna. "Let me think about it."

Silence had set in at the dining table and all the dishes had been served. Only then did Shaney return.

She washed her hands first before following Austin back.

She sat down and started digging in. Holding her cutlery, she took what she liked to eat. Unlike children

in other families, she always liked to do everything on her own.

After stuffing herself full, she wiped her mouth and continued frolicking around. Austin had the same

pace of consuming food as Shaney. He concentrated on eating without speaking. After Shaney had

left, Austin took his leave and went somewhere else.

Meanwhile, Jepherson didn't touch his food. Shaney was his daughter, but she had been sitting beside

Austin and getting along with him. It was as if Austin was her father instead of Jepherson.

Raeleigh took her time finishing her meal. Then, she got up, walked toward Shaney, and sat down in

front of her as though nothing had happened. "I'll keep an eye on her. You can go."

"No, let me do it. I'll be back soon."

Upon hearing that Austin was going back, Shaney stood up and walked to him. "Uncle Austin, do I

have to go back too?"

Jepherson's face fell, and he gritted his teeth.

Austin beamed at her. "You've just reunited with your dad. You can stay with him today."

"Uncle Austin, why don't you stay too?" Shaney gave Austin a tug. Austin then replied, "I'm sorry kiddo

but I need to go back. I have things to do."

"Uncle Austin..."

"Shaney, since Uncle Austin wants to go back,

why don't you stay?"

"If Uncle Austin wants to go back, I want to go back too."

Shaney turned to look at Raeleigh, who fell silent.

It was hard for children to change their mind. If she was coerced to change it, she would definitely act

rebellious.

"Just stay here, I can also bring you back to visit your grandparents."

With that, Jepherson stood up and walked up to Shaney. "Shaney, I have something to ask you. Can

we talk alone?"

Shaney glanced at Austin, who then nodded. Jepherson was peeved and he bent down to pick up his

daughter, turned and walked to his ward.

Entering the ward, Jepherson chatted to Shaney about her usual routines. While resting her head on

the bed, she answered all of his questions. The father and daughter chatted away, but time flew by

before they knew it. Jepherson hadn't spent enough time with Shaney yet, but she had to go.

"Shaney, can you stay with me? I'm in poor health now and I need someone to look after me."

"I want to see Uncle Austin. He wants to go back, so I'll be back after seeing him." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Shaney insisted no matter how hard Jepherson coaxed her. He could only get up and send her out

personally.

Jepherson was not in a good mood when he handed Shaney over to Austin. The worst part for him was

the scene where Austin turned around and left with his daughter in his arms.

Jepherson gazed at Raeleigh. "Why do these things happen to me? I almost thought she was Austin's

daughter instead of mine."

The corner of Raeleigh's mouth twitched. "Shaney is attached to him. I hope you won't cause a riff

between them. Even though they aren't related, the relationship between them is closer than that of

father and daughter."

"Is it my fault?" Jepherson was not convinced. He stretched out his hand to tug at Raeleigh. There was

no one else in the corridor. She had been pressed against the wall by him. Raeleigh didn't move, nor

did she resist and Jepherson kissed her without hesitation.

Raeleigh's hands were dangling beside her, but Jepherson began making amorous advances on her,

stripping off her clothes in the corridor. It was only then when she raised her hands to push him.

"Hey stop it, can you at least act like a decent human being?"

Jepherson carried her up and pushed the door on one side open. Raeleigh was taken inside.

Jepherson drew the curtains shut and locked the door before he turned around and undressed.

Raeleigh saw him strip naked. "This isn't funny. Here... ah..."

Raeleigh was pulled straight onto the bed and pressed down by Jepherson. She was about to say

something when Jepherson lowered his head and inhaled her breath.
