Master’s Untamed Wife

Chapter 1177: [Bonus chapter] Sharing

"Then you promise that even if there is another person with the same smile as mine, I'd still be the top priority," said Shui Xian very unreasonably.

"Huh? Even if the other person is our own child?" she asked.

"Yes!"

"This..." She didn't answer immediately and seeing her hesitating, Shui Xian narrowed his eyes at her. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Are you really hesitating right now?"

"You can't compete with a kid."

"I can," said Shui Xian. "And I'm telling you. I'm just saying it. In the end, it's you who is gonna have more problems with sharing your husband with a kid. You don't even let people touch me. And when I go around holding our baby, would you be okay?"

"Do you have to hold him?"

"Or else? He might get your intelligence, but it's impossible for him to start walking from the moment he is born."

"How long will it take then?" she asked seriously.

"Well, he'd be able to walk in a year or half but parents still have to hold their kids until they are about six or even seven. It's very normal."

"That's a long time," said Raelle seriously. "But it's okay. Don't try to sway me. I can do it."

"Okay, we'll see about that," he said meaningfully. "By the way, are you spending too much time with Fai? Where did you learn to act like this?"

"I think I'm spending more time with you, husband," she said.

"That's true," he agreed. "Does that mean, I'm a better teacher than Fai? Hahaha!"

Raelle gave him a look, "Are you seriously competing with him again?"

"Who is competing? I am not," he refused to accept that he was doing it just now.

"Are you feeling better now?" asked Raelle. "Did you read Mom's letter? Was that why you're so lost? What did she say?"

Shui Xian smiled slightly at her, "She said a lot and made me recall a lot of things from the past. Most of all, she made me realize how desperate she was to save me from a heart break. Well, she didn't get that wish."

"Not all wishes come true," said Raelle. "I think she also understood that."

"I know," he nodded in agreement. "Actually, I'm still thinking about how she planned so far ahead. Even if someone told her that she was gonna die, how could she believe in it to the point that she planned everything for the future? Even if there was no possibility of that future to come. Just think about it. Would you have thought ten years ago that one day, you'd marry me or fall in love with me?"

"No," answered Raelle truthfully.

"Neither did I. At that time, I didn't even think that I'd fail one day. But it's like she knew it all and she was prepared for it all too. Even if there was a minute possibility that one day, I'll marry you, she was prepared for it. It just shows how much she wanted us to be together. I keep thinking about repeatedly."

"Maybe this minute possibility was enough to make her happy at that time," said Raelle. "Even if this possibility didn't come true, when she had that daydream, at least she was happy with it. Some people can be very content in life with a mere daydream."

Shui Xian smiled slightly at that, "Actually, she didn't say much but through those short words, I seemed to have felt her pain. And how disappointed she must have been when her heart broke. And she have to lose everything. I knew nothing about it at all."

"She didn't tell you because she wanted to keep this family feud away from you. If she really wanted to drag this hatred, she would have stopped you from interacting with Tang Hebe when you both were just kids. But she wasn't so narrow-minded and she didn't want to control you either."

"But I told her that she did want to control me."

"People are prone to make such rude remarks when they are in their teens. Teenagers just think they know everything and they want others to stop treating them like kids. Because they start thinking they know better than the adults now. But it's not true. You also made such remarks. Who hasn't done it in their life?"

"Have you?" asked Shui Xian.

Raelle thought about it seriously before nodding her head, "I told Yanyan to stop following me around. I'm no longer a kid. I can take on the responsibilities of the business. She just can take care of everything else. Those words must have hurt her. I understand that now because I realize what those words did to her considering her whole world revolved around me. Today, I saw her eyes following someone else other than me and the feeling was quite new for me to take in for a while. But it made me also realize how much she made me get used to things."

Shui Xian sighed, "And I also learned about a whole different side of my mother today. The side I never knew of."

"Huh?"

Shui Xian took out the letter and passed it to her. She read it attentively before realizing why he said that and then looked at him.

"She feels like an unfamiliar person?"

"Yeah."

"You never expected that she could be evil?"

"I never did."

"Even when she repeatedly tried to separate you from Tang Hebe?"

"I never thought she was evil even then. I thought she was being unreasonable and controlling but she never did anything evil. It's not like she went to hurt Tang Hebe or made a vicious scheme. She always just tried to reason with me at most. So, I knew nothing about this side of hers."

"But it isn't that surprising to me," said Raelle. "Love is said to be the most powerful emotion and hatred is derived from it. Can you imagine how powerful hate can be then? When a person is in love, he is capable of anything but when the same person hates, he is capable of even worse. She was just a normal person. She wanted to destroy everything since those people destroyed her family too. It's a very simple human psychology."

Shui Xian sighed at that, "My wife can really take it all in so easily. Only I waste time overthinking this."

Raelle rubbed his head, "It's okay. I'm here for you."
