Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 354 - Hello

Only when Hyson said it like that did Cloe also gathered herself. It was true. She had seen Raelle putting her whole life into her business. How could she not care when people made such simple mistakes? It would frustrate anyone. She wasn't acting out of the ordinary at all.

Hyson walked inside the office and habitually, took off his jacket and threw it on her head. And as always, Raelle calmly pulled his jacket down and stood up to hang it on a coat hanger. Hyson smiled to himself when he saw her doing that.

She was about to sit back to work when he dragged her to the sitting area and made her sit down. Pouring her a glass of water, he offered it to her. She silently took it and drank it.

And then they just sat there in silence. Raelle didn't try to get back to work and Hyson didn't rush to start a conversation with her.

"What brings you here?" In the end, it was Raelle who spoke up first and broke this silence between them.

Hyson leaned back on the couch languidly as he told her, "I came to tell you that I'm mad at you."

Raelle put the glass of water down and faced him, "Is this how people get mad at others?"

"I don't know," he answered. "But this is how I get mad at you."

"Do people come to announce when they are mad at others as well?"

Hyson narrowed his eyes at her, "If I don't come to announce, how will you know it? Wouldn't I be taking a loss then?"

"Then why are you mad at me?" asked Raelle patiently waiting for him.

"Don't you even know that?" he stared at her. "But then again, I shouldn't expect that from you!"

"Are you gonna tell or not?"

"I'm telling," said Hyson. "Of course, I am mad because you didn't meet me before leaving. Didn't tell me where you're going. But I still let it go. However, now that you got back, you actually preferred getting to work than going home to see whether I am alive or dead!"

"Aren't you right in front of alive and kicking?"

"So, what do you want? Should I lie down dead?"

"I did not say that," stated Raelle. "I was in a hurry to get to work. I received an email from the HQ that's why I had to rush to work to deal with something urgently. Who knew that I'd get to see another mess here waiting for me?"

"No excuse is accepted today," said Hyson haughtily. "Unless you give me my gift."

"Who said I brought you a gift?" asked Raelle.

Hyson humphed at her, "As if I don't know you. Whenever you go to a new place, you'd always bring souvenirs for us. Where is my souvenir this time?"

"What if I say, this time is an exception?"

Hyson's expressions changed, "Why is this time an exception? What changed?"

"Now, I'm married," reminded Raelle.

His expressions took another dip. "No wonder people say a married daughter is like spilled water. You're nothing like before. You've forgotten everything we shared now that you're married. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

"I really am not ashamed of myself," was her response.

Hyson's mouth twitched at her response, "Shouldn't you be saying something else to me?"

"For instance?"

"For instance, you can start with a hello!" he spoke with sarcasm.

"Hello!" said Raelle because obviously she would not notice or care about his sarcasm.

As a matter of fact, even Hyson knew she won't get it so when she said that hello, he burst out laughing at her.

"Feeling better?" he asked her.

"What do you think?" she retorted.

"I think you're good now," stated Hyson certainly.

"So, why don't you tell me the real reason for being here?" asked Raelle.

Hyson smiled at her and told her honestly, "I actually came on a whim. I have to get to my company for a meeting with the new higher-ups to discuss the future of our group. But I came early so I decided to check up on you on my way since I haven't seen you in days."

"Let me know if the new management makes things difficult for you," said Raelle.

Hyson shook his head, "You think I can't handle it?"

"No, as always I'm just reminding you that you don't have to stubbornly handle it. You just have to know that you have someone here for you."

"I always know that," although he said that, his heart was warmed by her words.

It was so not in vain to treat her the best in his life.

"By the way, did you have a good time?"

"I believe so," was her answer.

But this answer was enough for Hyson who interpreted her words as 'I had a blast.' He was really a good interpreter when it came to his best friend. No one can understand her words as he does.

"I almost forgot to tell you, I met Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin the other day at the hospital," informed Hyson and then went to give her the details of everything. He even mentioned Zhai Yanjun's presence and how they seem close to each other.

"Why are you telling me this?" asked Raelle. "You're not expecting me to make a visit to him, are you?"

"Nah! I just couldn't hide it from you so I came clean," was Hyson's nonchalant reply. "However, I did promise to go over to see him again."

"It's your life, you don't have to tell me what you do with it."

Hyson smiled at that, "I'm gonna repeat myself. He really reminds me of you."

Raelle didn't know how to respond to that. And neither could she understand why he thought Xiang Weimin was like her. But she didn't know him so she couldn't possibly know either. And neither did she wish to know for now. Their lives were completely different from hers.. There was no need to tie them together.
