34 Ch. 34 Is This Love?

Richard had just finished meeting with a business partner in Japan when he heard the sound of someone’s footsteps.

Richard opened his laptop to check his home cctv camera and saw his wife walking towards the back of the house.

What time is it? The sky outside was starting to clear up a bit, so he guessed it was still around four in the morning. He wondered why his wife woke up so early, unaware that Anxia had very little sleep.

Richard felt anxious at the thought of the possibility that his wife would try to go by boat in the back.

He remembered his father’s warning yesterday afternoon. He was not surprised when his father immediately scolded and lectured him for making Anxia his wife without telling anyone. If only Anxia were an ordinary girl, maybe Stanley wouldn’t be so angry. The problem is, Anxia is not an ordinary girl but a trained assassin.

Moreover, Stanley told him everything he didn’t know about his wife. Information, as well as the girl’s family background that he couldn’t get, his father could quickly reach. To a legendary hacker, Richard was just an ant in his father’s eyes.

But what surprised him was not that his father was involved in investigating his wife’s background, but information about his wife.

Stanley had been involved in destroying his wife’s grandfather’s business. They didn’t know whether Anxia knew that the main culprit behind her grandfather’s bankruptcy was Stanley or not, but one thing they did know, Anxia could ensnare Richard or kill him if Richard was careless.

Stanley told him he could see Anxia didn’t like Richard and was thinking of a way to get out of there. So Stanley loosened the security of this house and would let her go if that was what the girl wanted. Stanley forced Richard to promise he would never go after her once Anxia left the house.

.....

At first, Richard refused and denied his father’s demands. He had even repeatedly said that he had become Anxia’s husband and would not let his wife go.

“I concealed your marriage registration in the government records. You are no longer a husband and wife, and I will not accept the daughter-in-law of an assassin in my family.”

His father’s statement made Richard shake and feel ultimately defeated. He did not expect his father to act so quickly to remove his name with his wife from the marriage registration.

Plus, they haven’t had a wedding celebration and have a church blessing yet. People would say the two are not married couples.

In the end, Richard agreed. But Richard did not want his father to interfere or prevent him from approaching his wife, and he would not give up on making Anxia quit her job and live with her daughter like any typical family.

Stanley nodded in agreement. He even said he would return their names once he was sure that Anxia had come out of the dark world that would endanger the Calvin family.

Therefore when Richard thought about the possibility that Anxia would escape secretly, Richard couldn’t help but worry. But he couldn’t stop her or chase after her because he had made a promise to his father.

That’s why he watched his wife silently from behind, hoping she wouldn’t jump into his father’s boat.

Not long after, Anxia turned around and walked toward him, stunned. He hadn’t the slightest thought that he would be so relieved to realize that his wife hadn’t run away and had come back into the house instead.

Could it be he has actually fallen in love with his wife? Was that why he felt anxious and restless at the thought of his wife running away from him?

Richard laughed sarcastically inwardly at his stupidity. He should have realized it from the start. His heart was already captivated by the sexy girl in the red dress he had met in Hong Kong four years ago.

The mysterious-vibe girl and seductive demeanor even challenge him to reveal what the girl is hiding. At first, he wasn’t interested in getting himself involved with some kind bitch who spread her legs to any handsome guy. But as it turned out, the experienced-looking sexy girl was a virgin!

When he found out that his manhood had penetrated the girl’s hymen, Richard’s heart was filled with beautiful colors, and all his common sense and logic disappeared and satisfied his desire for the girl. But never once did he think about throwing her away, and he was willing to take responsibility and make the girl his wife.

At that time, he did not know that he had fallen in love, so he felt too proud to court her and let the girl look for him. If he had realized his feelings at that time, perhaps Richard would not care about his reputation, chased the girl, and even brought her to Europe to hide her from Master Yu’s clutches.

Even if he feels sorry, he does not want to drag on in his regrets. The rice has turned into porridge, and they meet again through their lovely baby girl. All he could do was try to break through Anxia’s rock-hard heart by pouring out all the love he had harbored for so long.

But for now, he won’t show his feelings until she opens her heart.

“How long have you been there?” the voice of displeasure and the look of annoyance at his wife made Richard put his mask back on.

He was currently facing off against Qiao Anxia, ??the trained assassin. He would not let his feelings show and let the girl take advantage of his feelings. Maybe he would express his love endlessly in the future, but not now.

“What do you do there? Are you looking for a way to escape?”

Anxia bit her lip and couldn’t deny it, making Richard squint suspiciously. freewebno(v)el

Richard let out a heavy, tired sigh as he massaged his temples.

“Xia Xia, I know our relationship started really badly, but I want to try to make things right. Our relationship won’t work if you don’t cooperate.”

“What makes you think I want to work with you?”

“You’ve already signed our wedding vows. You are willing to give the whole household to Loreinne, so you must be willing to cooperate with me.”

Again this man is using her daughter! “Don’t bring Lori’s name into our relationship! You know very well I don’t want to marry you, but you tricked me and threatened me with Lori. I’ve minded what you wanted, and I’m willing to come with you to meet your family, so don’t expect me to act as your wife if no one is watching us!”

Richard’s jaw tightened at that, then relaxed his facial muscles.

“Okay. You said that yourself.”

Anxia’s brows furrowed in displeasure at the man’s last sentence. Why did her feelings say she had fallen into the man’s invisible game trap?
