Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 641 Mother & Father

"Chief, I brought your juice!" Cloe strutted inside the room and found the atmosphere quite oppressive and depressing as well. She couldn't help looking at the two people other than Raelle in the room. Let's face it, she could not and would not associate the word oppressive and depressing with Raelle. Why? Because that wasn't her style.

This stifled and gloomy feeling in the air could never belong to Raelle Xiang!

"Why did you bring it?" asked Raelle.

"Chief, show some appreciation. I specifically asked them to make fresh fruit juice for you. I even stood beside the staff and watched them make it with proper hygiene and everything to your liking. You see how attentive I am?"

She looked like she was trying to look for some compliments from Raelle but she was bound to be disappointed.

Raelle took the juice from her and started drinking it. Only after taking a couple of sips did she look back at Cloe and said, "So? Are you looking for a raise now?"

"I don't mind," Cloe grinned foolishly. Obviously, he'd be a fool if she said no to money. Who doesn't like pay raises? She definitely did? What can a compliment do? Nothing! It was better to get more money out of her boss's pocket! Hehe!

"You're not getting any," Raelle dropped the bucket of cold water on her daydreaming instantly. Even before the dollar sign could appear in Cloe's eyes, it was smashed into smithereens. "You only did your job, I don't think it's enough to give you a raise."

"Stingy!" muttered Cloe.

"If I was stingy, you wouldn't be here," was Raelle's response.

Cloe's rubbed her nose awkwardly since she couldn't deny that. She had the most generous boss in the world. Even her own conscience hurt as she called Raelle stingy.

"Do you wanna sit down?" asked Raelle.

"Sure," Cloe sat down instantly and started rubbing her ankles. It was a tiring job to wear heels. Why did she decide to wear the pair that didn't even fit? Oh, that's right because it looked super good! Fashion is always above pain! So what she is suffering? For the momentary pleasure of looking good, it was worth it! At least, that's what she had been chanting in her head to make herself feel better.

"Should I introduce you to them?" asked Raelle pointing towards Song Xin'ai and Xiang Hulin. "Maybe I should."

Cloe raised her brow inquisitively. She didn't know why she needed to be introduced here. Were they important people?

"That's Dr. Song Xin'ai, a senior researcher from the Xinli National Research Lab and that's General Xiang Hulin," Raelle spoke without a ripple in her voice as always. "Or I should introduce them in another way, that's my mother and that's my father."

Cloe's jaw dropped. Oh no, it literally just dropped. It was this close to hitting the floor! Okay, that's an exaggeration but really, one could fit a goose egg in her mouth right now for sure!

Her eyes darted between Song Xin'ai and Xiang Hulin in disbelief while those two were also staring at Raelle in disbelief. They didn't think she'd acknowledge their relationship before anyone.

"Don't look at me like that," said Raelle to her parents. "I never said you both aren't my parents. It's not like I can remove the blood we share."

Cloe clicked her fingers, "Now I get it!"

"What?"

"Why Miss MC always said you look like your father," said Cloe. She pointed at Xiang Hulin, "You really look like your father! This is so amazing!"

"How is it amazing?" asked Raelle.

Cloe shrugged her shoulders, "It just is to me. Do I need to have a reason for it? Chief, not everything needs a reason. Just like some feelings don't really need reasons. You like someone, you just do. You hate someone, you just do. No real reason at all!"

"There is always a reason," was Raelle's response.

Cloe shut up when she heard that. She wasn't gonna open her mouth to look for trouble for herself. The silence was peaceful. And doesn't like peace? She definitely loves peace!

"Chief, why didn't you finish the juice?" asked Cloe when she saw Raelle placing the glass of juice on the table. And the glass was still half full!

"I can't drink anymore," said Raelle. "I can't swallow anything right now."

Before Cloe could say anything, Song Xin'ai called out, "Raelle!"

"Yes, mother?" replied Raelle.

Song Xin'ai took a deep breath to digest that 'mother' before coming to the important discussion, "Did you see a doctor?"

"And why should I do that?" asked Raelle.

"Because you don't look well," stated Song Xin'ai seriously.

Cloe looked at Raelle's face but couldn't tell if something was wrong with her. But she didn't dare question Song Xin'ai either. First, she was Raelle's mother. Second, she was medical research personnel, she was keener and more knowledgeable than her. And third, even she had been feeling like something had been wrong with Raelle.

Perhaps, others didn't notice it but Song Xin'ai could tell that she was a shade paler than earlier. And she was finding it strange as well.

"Are you feeling pain anywhere?" asked Song Xin'ai.

Raelle thought about it real hard before shaking her head. She didn't think it was pain. But she was definitely not feeling very good. And how did she knows it? Obviously, because normally she didn't feel like this.

Song Xin'ai pursed her lips, "You should still see a doctor." At that moment, someone came to call her and she took one last look at Raelle before she left the room. There wasn't like anything to talk about between them. Even if they were mother and daughter, they were just strangers. And they were the kind of strangers who weren't meant to get close at all.

No matter how sensible Raelle was, Song Xin'ai was level-headed enough to know she had no place in her life. And perhaps, she wasn't looking for a place in her life either. However, they both needed this meeting. Especially, Song Xin'ai who finally learned what her daughter thought about her. Although it only made her feel worse, it was still better than nothing.
