Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1236  How?

Shui Koshing cheerfully went back home but when he came, his expression was a bit dull. Seeing the change, Shui Xian asked, "What happened, Bà? Didn't you just go out so cheerfully to avenge your daughter-in-law?"

"What nonsense?" replied Shui Koshing. "I didn't go to avenge my daughter-in-law. I just wanted to tell them to control themselves and don't embarrass my daughter-in-law like this."

"Then what's up? Why did you come back looking so sad?"

Shui Koshing shook his head and sighed, "Maybe it's because I'm getting older. So, I'm getting greedier too."

Shui Xian's brows quirked up inquisitively when he heard his father say that.

"When it was just you and I at home, I was getting pretty comfortable with the empty house. Then Raelle came to join our family and suddenly, the house was a lot like a warm home again. Strange considering Raelle isn't even a warm person but she is capable of making the people around her feel warm."

Shui Xian could understand his father's feelings and he actually had a hunch where this conversation was going.

"I just went over to the Xiang Manor. That place was always livelier than our house even when only two people lived there. But now, it's gotten better. There are more people adding more life to the house. hunch was right.

"So? What's making you greedy? Or is it the emptiness of this house Even early in the morning, you can actually hear people running around doing their own things but their presence could be felt. They even added the new blood making giving the house a whole new outlook."

Shui Xian looked at his father with a complicated expression. His hunch was right.

"So? What's making you greedy? Or is it the emptiness of this house coming to haunt you again?"

Shui Koshing gave his son a look, "It's not haunting. I still feel like this house feels like a home when you and Raelle are around. But as humans how can someone not be greedy? I wasn't this greedy a while ago. I don't know what changed?"

"I know what changed," answered Shui Xian. "And I'll tell you, Bà. That child wasn't in our fate."

Shui Koshing closed his eyes trying to hide the emotions in his eyes. He was hoping his son wouldn't bring it up so straightforwardly but apparently, he was also getting influenced by Raelle's temperament.

"I know. I know that."

Shui Xian came to sit beside him and patted his shoulder, "I know that you know. And I also know that just because you know doesn't mean a part of your heart is willing to accept or understand it. But you have to look forward. Also, don't bring this up in front of my wife. I don't wanna see her sad."

"Brat! You don't care about your father's sadness?" Shui Koshing hit his arm. "Also, do I look so insensible? Why would I bring it up in front of her? My grief can never be more than her. I understand that very well."

Shui Xian smiled at him, "Bà, I understand why you're feeling this way. Seeing Justin, you're suddenly feeling the emptiness. I can understand that very well."

"Can you blame me? It's been so many years since I've held a baby in my arms. And just thinking about the combination of you and Raelle, I'm even more eager to see this baby. Do you think I'm really getting that old? Is that why I'm so eager to become a grandfather now? The other day, that Lao Hu from lane 3 brought his little grandson to the park in the evening. He talked for an hour about how intelligent his grandson is. I actually had the thought, 'You haven't seen my grandchild yet.' Can you believe that? I don't even have a grandchild yet."

Shui Xian pursed his lips but he still couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Yeah. Yeah. Just laugh. Laugh all you want. This is what parents get after raising their kids so big. Their stupid kids laughing at their faces like this. So, laugh some more!"

"I'm sorry!" said Shui Xian and tried to stop but he again laughed.

"Where is my cane? Where is it?! This brat needs a beating right now! Bring my cane here!"

"Oho! So much anger so early in the morning?"

Shui Koshing look at Raelle and his anger dissipated. Instead, he pointed at his son, "Look at him. He is laughing at me."

"How rude, Hubby!"

"I'm sorry! I really am. But I can't help it," explained Shui Xian in his own defense.

"What are we laughing about though?" asked Raelle which instantly shut Shui Xian up and made him forget all about laughing. Seeing their silence, she asked again, "Is it something I can't know about?"

"It's nothing," said Shui Xian.

"You're really not gonna tell me?" asked Raelle.

"Forget it. I'll tell you later."

Raelle shrugged, "Suit yourself." She actually didn't ask again. Only because she could tell that they both didn't wanna talk about it with her. Although she didn't know why, she didn't push it either.

All of them had their breakfast and then Raelle left first. She took out her tablet in the car to read the email and the very first email was the one she received from Mu Chenyan. She sent her the details of the wedding plan and Raelle stared at the mail for a long time without clicking on it.

After a long time, she finally did and just skimming through the list her head was dizzy and she closed the tablet and threw it aside.

She looked outside the window and whispered, "How did you get yourself into this, Raelle? How? Just how?" It was at this moment, she was contemplating why and how she actually changed from someone who said no to even minor troublesome things and now, she actually brought herself into a grand wedding project. Wow! Who would have thought?

At least, Raelle Xiang from last year wouldn't have even imagined this in her wildest dreams. Never and ever!
