1040 They Had A Kid
Just like last time, Shui Xian was waiting outside in the car for her. He wanted to be with her but also wanted to give her privacy so he found the perfect way. That was playing the role of her personal chauffeur. At least, he’d get to spend time with her.
Raelle got into the car and he asked, “Where to next?”
Raelle showed him the address that she found through her channels, “This place.”
Shui Xian put the address into the map and drove out of there. As he drove out of there, he looked at the heavily guarded research center. It deserved its reputation for being the biggest and the best research center in the whole country. The security was so high which showed how much importance the government put on this place and the people inside there.
“Everything okay?” he asked.
“What can go wrong?”
“I’m just wondering if anyone made things difficult for you in there?” asked Shui Xian. “You know scientists seem to have weird personalities. They don’t like seeing just anyone walking around them.”
“I’m not just someone,” reminded Raelle. “I’m someone whom the director came out to greet and led inside.”
Shui Xian shook his head, “How can I forget that?”
.....
He didn’t actually ask how she managed to achieve that because, in his mind, his wife was already great and was capable of anything. If she could get on her knee in front of the whole world to propose to him then she was really capable of anything and everything. He should never question what she could or couldn’t do. In fact, the question was what she wanted to do or what she didn’t want to do.
Shui Xian looked at her and asked, “Did you invite Soren?”
“Yes,” replied Raelle. “Why wouldn’t I invite him?”
“Just asking,” he replied. “What about Cui Xukun?”
“Even if I don’t invite him, won’t he still be there as Cloe’s plus one? Or as Soren’s family?”
Shui Xian pursed his lips as he agreed with that. Indeed.
“But I heard Soren isn’t in the country,” said Shui Xian.
“He’ll be at the engagement,” said Raelle with certainty. “He wouldn’t miss it.”
Shui Xian also nodded, “I also highly doubt that he’d be willing to miss it out. I hope he brings his kids. I never got to see his twins. And he had always been talking about them. He never misses out on a chance to talk about them. Just the last time we met, he was telling me how his daughter won the prize for the best costume on the costume day in school because she was dressed like a fairy and she looked like a real fairy. I could almost see stars in his eyes. Also, his son won the race on the sports day as well. He looked so damn proud.”
“He really told you all that?” asked Raelle. “How come he never spoke about his twins with me?”
“Maybe because he you don’t like talking about such topics,” said Shui Xian as he shrugged.
“Quite possible,” said Raelle. “Cloe met the twins and she really likes them. She sent me the pictures of how she dressed them up in like 100 dresses just because everything looked cute on them. I couldn’t understand the concept.”
“Oh, it’s the same concept that you apply to me,” replied Shui Xian. “Don’t you drag me to shopping just because you like to see me dressing up? Cloe’s mindset is exactly the same.”
“Is that so?” asked Raelle. “I highly doubt that.”
“Why?”
“Because...”
“Don’t!” Shui Xian suddenly stopped her from continuing. Even though he was the one who asked the question, now, he wanted to stop her from saying anything because it suddenly struck him that he was very clear about her answer already. It was the same old answer. She didn’t like him dressing up, she liked seeing him undress better. And if we thought from this point of view then clearly, Cloe’s mindset was definitely different than Raelle’s.
“Hubby, you even understood without me saying anything?” she asked.
“I did,” he said and sighed. “It momentarily slipped my mind but now, I’m back on track. I know where you wanted to go with that.”
“It’s good that you know,” she said.
For a moment, Shui Xian was actually a bit envious when he was talking about how Soren bragged about his twins. He didn’t know whether Raelle was sensitive enough to figure out the change in his mood or not but she actually shifted the direction of the conversation and made him laugh. Now, he was wondering if he really needed a kid in his life with his wife around.
She could already get too much for him.
And clearly, there was no space between them for anyone else. He didn’t know if a kid would feel left out between them.
“We are here,” Shui Xian informed her as they entered the residential area. He parked outside the apartment building and looked at Raelle who was looking around at the area.
“Do you think it’s a good place to live with a kid?” she asked seriously.
Shui Xian looked back at her and replied, “It seems very safe. There is also a play area for kids over there.” She followed his finger and looked at the play area. “In the evening, there’d be plenty of kids who come out to play there. It’s a good place to find play mates too.”
“But Justin doesn’t like to interact with others,” commented Raelle.
Shui Xian was left looking at her and sighed once again, “Baby, just go and give that invitation card.”
“Oh.” With that she alighted from the car and entered the apartment building.
Shui Xian looked at her back and shook his head. He was wondering if there would be a place for a kid in their life and now, he was wondering if there’d be a place for him if they had a kid?
