Master's Untamed Wife

Shui Xian suddenly stiffened when he heard that. Learning from his previous mistakes, he actually hid her phone and his own last night after dinner. He knew their phones always rang at the wrong moment and he didn't want anyone to disturb them last night.

He had planned to put the phone back in its place in the morning but because of his sudden happiness, he forgot.

"Did you check in the bedroom?" he asked.

"I didn't take it to the bedroom," said Raelle.

"But there is always a possibility," he said.

Raelle nodded and went back to the bedroom. He craned his neck and seeing that she went upstairs, he hurriedly turned around and opened the kitchen cabinet. He took out both their phones.

He placed her phone on the kitchen counter and began to focus on making shakshuka for breakfast. When Raelle came back, she said, "It's not there."

"Oh, I found it," said Shui Xian. "It was on the sofa over there."

"Was it?" asked Raelle indifferently as she took her phone from him.

"Yes," answered Shui Xian curbing down his guilty conscience.

Raelle already saw the way his eyes shifted and when she saw how her phone was on silent mode, she was certain that he hid her phone. There was no way around it. She definitely didn't put it on silent mode. And she would never forget where she placed her phone. At least, she had that much faith in her memory. Besides, how come he found the phone on the sofa while she didn't?

However, she didn't expose his lie. If he wanted to play then it's okay. It didn't bring her any harm why would she question it?

"Let's have breakfast together," Shui Xian called out to her.

Raelle went to sit beside him and ate the breakfast that he prepared for her. There wasn't anything extraordinary about this breakfast but it was still a special breakfast. Raelle took a picture of the breakfast and Shui Xian's brows knitted up again. She did the same thing last night as well.

He didn't think his wife was the kind of person who would take pictures of the food. She had never done it before. Then why now? But he didn't question it either.

Sweet tomatoes, runny yolks, and plenty of toasted bread for breakfast. It was appetizing. Shui Xian even prepared a strawberry smoothie for her as well making it the perfect breakfast to start the day.

After breakfast, Shui Xian got dressed hurriedly. He kissed Raelle and said, "I'll be back soon. Be ready. I'll take you out for lunch."

"Okay," answered Raelle as she watched him leave.

The house became too quiet once he left. Raelle had come to the door to see him off and once his car left her field of vision, she closed the door and went inside the house. She picked up her phone and read through the emails she received last night.

There was only one person who called her last night and that was Cloe.

Seeing her name in the call log, she made a call to her. Raelle had come to the small study in this house and was looking at the books on the bookshelf.

"Morning, Chief!" Cloe's voice came from the phone's speaker as Raelle was placing the phone on the mahogany table.

"You called," said Raelle as she put the phone down and went to take out a book.

Cloe instantly turned into a professional person who seriously briefed about the details of the things that happened after the meeting yesterday.

"I didn't ask for these details," said Raelle. "In fact, that's not even why I called you. I know you can handle things on your own. Why would I leave you there?"

Cloe was pouring her blueberry banana nut smoothie into the glass when she heard Raelle say that. She was momentarily quiet. This trust her boss had in her really made her feel happy but also pressured.

"Then why are you calling me on a Saturday, Chief?" asked Cloe after she pressed down her feelings. "It's my off-day. I don't think you have a reason to look for me today."

"Well, I do have a reason to look for you today," stated Raelle.

"And what is that?"

"I called to say best of luck to you," answered Raelle.

Cloe frowned at those words. "Best of luck? To me? Why?"

"Because you need it today," responded Raelle matter-of-factly as she turned the page of this old book in her hand. It seemed that the book collection in this small study was originally, of that old couple who owned this house. They must have left these behind when they moved. Because some of these books were really old.

However, Raelle could hardly understand what was written in the book in her hand because of the ancient text. But that made her more interested in knowing what was written.

"I need it?" Cloe repeated it in confusion. How come she needed it and she didn't even that she needed it? That's odd. But she didn't dare question Raelle since if she said she needed good luck today then she definitely did. Especially since it was not every day Raelle Xiang would say best of luck to anyone. After all, she didn't even believe in luck!

"Are you still wondering why I'm saying best of luck to you?" asked Raelle and her question definitely hit the mark.

Cloe felt a chill running in her body as she looked around herself. How was her boss like a ghost? How come she could read her brain even from such a long distance?

"I don't have to be around you to know what you're thinking," said Raelle casually but that made Cloe almost drop down on the floor.

"Fuck!" she cursed out loud. "Chief, can you not use your mind-reading from such a distance? It scared me." Raelle could hear it in her voice that she wasn't lying. She was indeed feeling scared.

But was it her fault that she knew Cloe too well? Scaring was definitely not her intention but this added bonus was making her feel.... good!
