Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 281 - I'll Be Waiting



"Take care of your son and never ever ask me to do anything related to him," said Cui Xukun as he passed his nephew to his sister. Clearly, he was mad! And that was not something one would see every day. At least, that's what his sister thought.

But since currently, her brother was in a bad mood, she could tell that her son must have done something again. She wasn't even surprised that her son did something after all everyone knew about how mischievous Sammy was. However, usually, Cui Xukun would play along with Sammy. Since he had such a reaction this time, it meant something serious happened.

And now she was super curious to know.

"What did my son do to make you this mad?" asked Cui Xuqing as she picked up her son who pouted, showing his mother how wronged he felt right now.

Obviously, as a mother, Cui Xuqing knew her son inside out, how could she not know what he was up to? She wasn't gonna fall for it at all.

"Why don't you ask your dear son?" retorted Cui Xukun. "I'm telling you, if I end up single for the rest of my life, it'll be all because of your son!"

Cui Xuqing's lips parted as she gaped at her brother in disbelief. "Kun, don't try to wrongly convict my son. He is too young to take this blame."

"He is young?" Cui Xukun glared at his nephew who was avoiding his eyes. "His tiny head is capable of planning huge troubles!"

Well, there was nothing she could refute about what he just said. Seeing how Cui Xukun was about to leave, she called him from behind, "Kun, please pick Xena from school!"

"I'm not your babysitter!" Cui Xukun shot back. "Pick your daughter from school yourself or call your husband. I'm out of here!"

And with the bang, he slammed the door and made a grand and loud exit from there. Cui Xuqing flinched a little seeing her brother's temper. She eyed her son, "What did you do now?"

"Nothing," replied Sammy while fidgeting under his mother's gaze. 

"Nothing?" repeated Cui Xuqing thoughtfully. "If it was nothing, your uncle Kun would never react like this. He is such an easygoing person. Even when I used to bully him when we were young, he never reacted like this. He never even complained to mom and dad about it."

"Mommy, you used to bully uncle Kun?" asked Sammy with an eager gaze directed at his mother.

Cui Xuqing realized what she just blurted out and cleared her throat, "You, young man, are in big trouble right now!" Sammy lowered his head not daring to look at her. "Here, take my phone and call your father. Tell him to pick up your sister from school."

"Why don't you call, daddy?" asked Sammy innocently.

"Do as I said," came Cui Xuqing's order. "Don't cross-question me all the time."

"Oh..." responded Sammy with a bit of grievance showing on his face but he still followed his mother's order and called his father.

....

After reaching home, Cloe made some pasta for herself and ate it with a wine glass. Oh, boy! The feeling of having wine and comfort food like pasta in the middle of the day! It felt great!

The best part was, today wasn't even the weekend! She could enjoy this rare leisure time in the middle of the week! 

And all of this was enough to make Cloe feel happy. Yes, she was certainly very easy to please. Even she never realized it.

Recalling her conversation with Hyson today, she fell into deep thought. She not only learned a lot about Hyson's other side today, she even learned about Raelle. And more importantly, Hyson's words allowed her to think things through. The things that had bothered her for so long, didn't seem like that big of a deal anymore. 

She took her phone from the table and called Soren. But unfortunately, Soren's phone was busy at the moment. She tried again but it seemed he was on another call. 

Just after five minutes, Soren called her back, "You called me?"

"I did," answered Cloe. "But you're on another call."

"Oh, it was my son. He asked me to pick his sister from school. I'm just on my way there right now."

Cloe was silent for a minute.

"Cloe?"

"Yeah! I'm here," said Cloe. "I just... I'm still not able to believe you already have two kids."

Soren chuckled at her words, "Kids are like blessings, Cloe. I'm particularly glad that I got lucky to have my twins."

"And I never thought I'd hear that from you one day," said Cloe truthfully. "By the way, why are you going yourself? Just ask your driver to pick your daughter from school."

"I felt like doing it myself today," answered Soren nonchalantly. "Well, I'm surprised that you called me yourself. Did Raelle agree to my proposal?"

"I told you, Chief won't agree that easily," said Cloe. "She'll first get a thorough understanding of the project before deciding anything." She took a pause and added, "In fact, how about we meet? I'll bring Chief with me. You can discuss the project with her and I also have something to talk to you about."

Soren was surprised but he soon composed himself, "Sounds good to me. Tell me when is fine with you guys? Because I want to invite you both over for dinner."

"Dinner is a bit difficult but... I'll still ask Chief," Cloe wasn't certain whether Raelle would agree to have dinner out even though her husband was not around. After all, just yesterday she saw how Raelle went home right on time because she wanted to have dinner with Master Xian's father. Since she couldn't decide it on her own, she'd just have to ask Raelle first.

"It doesn't have to be dinner," said Soren. "I'm fine with lunch as well. Just let me know when you both can make the time. It's better if we can meet within this week."

"Got it!" Cloe also agreed that they should meet as soon as possible. "Then I'll see you soon!"

"I'll be waiting!"
