Master's Untamed Wife

Just as Raelle had said last night, she actually allowed Cloe to leave early to get to her doctor's appointment. Although Cloe had long been allergic to pollen, it had never been severe. Usually, she'd be fine after taking her prescribed anti-allergy medicine. But this time around, it wasn't working as effectively as she'd like.

So, the best option was to see the doctor as soon as possible. It was a good thing that she made the appointment at the same hospital where Hyson was staying. That way, she'd be able to meet Hyson after her doctor's appointment. And that's exactly what she did!

Right after she left the doctor's room, she went to see Hyson. When she reached the room, she was surprised to see how quiet it was in his room.

He was leaning against the railing in the balcony basking in the sun. There wasn't his usual playful aura surrounding him. Instead, he looked too calm which would make anyone feel like they were looking at an entirely different person. Even though there was a small smile on his lips, it gave him a different feel.

"Hyson..." she called out.

Hyson turned his head and his smile widened when he looked at her. "Now, this is a surprise. How did my best friend allow you to leave the office at this time?"

"I had a doctor's appointment," told Cloe. "So, she let me come. Also, since she knew I have a doctor's appointment here, she asked me to pass this snack box to you."

Hyson's brows quirked up before he happily took the snack box from her and thanked her. He even asked why she needed to see a doctor.

"So, did you just come to give me this snack box?" inquired Hyson.

"Not really," answered Cloe. "I have a lot on my mind for the last two days and I wanted to talk to someone about it. But I didn't know who should I talk to. I don't have many friends, you know. And suddenly, I thought of you."

"Although I'm not as patient as Ellie, I'm still a good listener," said Hyson. "So, please, feel free to say anything. I don't mind at all."

Cloe smiled at him thankfully. She really needed someone to clear her doubts. She had been thinking about Soren's offer all this while and wondered whether she should really go on a blind date as he said or not. But she couldn't come to a conclusion.

"A friend of mine asked me a question," she told him. "He asked why am I wasting my life for a scumbag cheater ex."

"Good question," said Hyson. "Life is a one-way road, I wonder why people keep trying to make a U-turn."

"I don't want to take a U-turn," Cloe took a deep breath. Clearing her thoughts, she asked, "What do you think about blind dates?"

"You should ask for Ellie's opinion, she is more experienced when it comes to blind dates," said Hyson half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Cloe rolled her eyes, "Chief had about fifty blind dates and each one was a failure. Do you really think I should ask for her opinion?"

"Well, why not?" inquired Hyson seriously.

"Chief never wanted to continue with any of her blind dates and she always found ways to make them say they didn't like her."

"You're wrong though," said Hyson. "From the moment Ellie accepted to go on those blind dates, she had taken it seriously. There had never been a time in her life when she did things casually or on impulse. Her purpose had never been to look for rejections."

Cloe was surprised to hear him say that and asked, "I've been with her. She always offered them what they needed in life the most with one condition that they'd have to reject her. And it always worked."

"Isn't that the problem?" asked Hyson. "It always worked..." He shook his head. "If I offer you to choose between a diamond and a mine of diamonds, which one would you choose?"

"Any sensible person would choose the mine of diamonds," answered Cloe.

"But it's a pity that we lack sensible people in this world," tsked Hyson. "Ellie offered them a condition and every single one of them accepted it without any hesitation. In my opinion, they were all a bunch of idiots! Ellie is like a mine of diamonds. Forget about their one wish, she could have offered them the world if they rejected her condition. But they all thought of immediate profit. They all assumed that if they didn't take her offer, they'd lose both; her and the tempting offer. But it wasn't true. If any of them had said no to her offer and insisted on going out with her, she'd have never refused."

A fuse went off in Cloe's brain as she asked, "You mean, all that was just a test?"

"It was indeed just a test," answered Hyson. "She wanted to see the real selves of those men and she saw it very well."

"I knew Chief had a complicated mind but didn't think she'd be playing games even when it came to a blind date," said Cloe.

"Blind date is a serious matter," said Hyson. "How could she take the choice of her life partner that casually? The only reason why Opa also overlooked what she did on those blind dates was that he also knew none of those men were worthy of her. They couldn't even pass her simple test." He thought about something and asked after a pause, "But why did you bring up blind date all of a sudden? Are you going on one?"

"I'm thinking about it," answered Cloe not trying to hide it from him. "But..."

"But you've been away from the game for so long that it seems daunting now?"

Cloe nodded her head, "Couldn't have said it better than you."

"I'm quite smart," Hyson praised himself. "That friend of yours must have wanted to introduce someone to you."

Cloe gaped at him in surprise, "How do you know that?"
