COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 8 Episode 29

“Stop dawdling and come inside,” Shui Xian literally had to drag his sister inside Raelle’s ward. It couldn’t be helped. His sister who was usually like a tyrant suddenly was acting like a mouse. She seemed scared to face Raelle.

In fact, it was her guilt that made her feel ashamed to face Raelle again.

Although Amiah came inside the ward, she stood near the door with her head down looking like a child who had done something wrong and was now waiting for her punishment. Shui Xian went up to Raelle’s bed when he noticed how Raelle hid her phone as soon as she saw him enter.

“Phone?” he extended his hand towards her.

Raelle looked at his hand and then at him and smiled.

“I still don’t like your smile,” was his response.

Raelle took out her phone from under her and gave it to him. He unlocked the screen and seeing the mailing interface opened on the phone, he narrowed his eyes at Raelle, “Didn’t I tell you this is not allowed these days?”

“I was just checking,” she replied. She finally had the time and her phone in her hand, yet she got caught. Wow! This was a first where Raelle Xiang had to do something sneakily. She was never a sneaky person.

“Checking is also not allowed,” said Shui Xian sternly and Raelle nodded her head in reply.

Amiah looked at their interactions and found them rather adorable. Actually, Amiah wasn’t sure about this arranged marriage with her brother. She didn’t think it was any good. And from the time she learned that Raelle was the woman Shui Xian married, she was even more certain that this marriage was no good.

After all, when she researched Raelle Xiang, all she heard was how much of a difficult person she was. People had all kinds of opinions about her personality. If there was something that nobody ever spoke negatively about, that was her character and her work.

Considering how their first meeting wasn’t very pleasant either, Amiah didn’t think there was any love between Shui Xian and Raelle. It was an arranged marriage anyway. Besides, she knew how much Shui Xian loved Tang Hebe. But she seemed to always overlook the fact that Tang Hebe ended up hurting Shui Xian even worse.

And let’s not forget, that the relationship between Tang Hebe and Shui Xian ended over 5 years ago. So, if Shui Xian was willing to move on, it meant he was ready to open his heart to someone new and love again.

And from the looks of it, her brother really opened his heart and fell in love with Raelle. She couldn’t say anything about Raelle since her face was like a blank sheet of paper, she couldn’t find anything there. But her own brother was like an open book around Raelle, even just his eyes were filled with love and doting when he looked at Raelle.

“Hi, Director Jade!” Raelle waved at Amiah seeing how the latter was standing silently.

“Hi, Sister-in-law,” replied Amiah.

“You can just call me Raelle,” said Raelle and Amiah nodded in response.

“How are you now?”

“I don’t know,” answered Raelle. “Because apparently, people around me know my condition better than I. So, even if I say, I’m good to get discharged, they don’t think the patient’s opinion matters. So, yeah! I really don’t know how I am. Why don’t you ask your brother?”

Shui Xian pinched her nose, “You’re right. Even if you say, you’re good to go. We don’t believe you. So, be good and recuperate properly.”

“Yes, Sir!” responded Raelle.

“Darling, are you being sarcastic with me right now?”

“How dare I?”

Shui Xian chuckled, “You’re learning bad things.”

“It’s all because of my good teacher,” she answered.

Shui Xian pointed at himself, “Are you saying, it’s my influence?”

“I sleep in your arms at night, it’s definitely you who is rubbing off on me.”

Shui Xian opened his mouth in disbelief, “Wow! My wife, you really… You wait and see.”

Raelle looked at him and said, “I’ve seen everything. Very clearly.”

Shui Xian put his hand on her mouth and he whispered, “Darling, you really need to stop.”

Amiah looked at their interaction intently and her lips curled up. She didn’t think their relationship was actually this interesting and fun. But was it okay for them to openly flirt in front of her? She was very single you know. So, even if they thought it was okay, she didn’t think it was okay to feed her dog food right now.

Shui Xian kissed Raelle’s head and said, “Behave! I’ll be right back.” He left the room after that because he had a phone call and didn’t want to disturb them.

In the silence of the room, Amiah opened her mouth several times before finally speaking up, “I’m sorry for your loss!”

Raelle didn’t know how to react to that. She honestly didn’t know. Was she supposed to say it was okay? Because she certainly didn’t feel that way. How could anyone be okay with the loss she just had? She had never taken any loss seriously in life. But this time, the loss was of her own child.

No matter how emotionless she was said to be, she couldn’t act as if nothing happened.

“Hmm…” So, in the end, Raelle could only hum in response to that. “Thanks for coming!” said Raelle.

“If I didn’t come, how would I have known that I destroyed my brother’s life?” Amiah spoke self-deprecatingly.

“You didn’t,” replied Raelle. “You’re a victim in that incident yourself. You should never blame yourself for anything.”

“You can hate me if you want,” said Amiah. “For what happened with you, I think I do deserve to take some blame.”

“Well, I don’t hate you,” was Raelle’s reply. “But I don’t like you either.” Raelle didn’t mind saying it out straightforwardly. Why should she hide the fact that she didn’t like Amiah? She was never the kind of person to hide such things.
