36 Ways To Chase After My Wife’s Love - Chapter 165

“So far he won’t hurt Madam. I’m sure of it. But regarding your identity… I’m afraid he’ll use that against you. Moreover, I haven’t managed to gather all of his data yet. Maybe he’s one of the enemies in the business war.” Brandy looked so worried.

“A knight will only attack his enemy from the front, not through a game of hide and seek!”

Dexter wasn’t scared at all! Only a coward dared to attack from behind, meaning if his face was shown, then his strength was exhausted!

“Do you still allow Madam to work there?”

Dexter snorted, working there was Kaili’s wish and it seemed his wife really liked her current job. “I’ll think about it later. Just make sure her safety.”

“Okay, boss!” Brandy nodded firmly.

At 3 a.m., Dexter returned to Sky Garden. When he opened the bedroom door, he was so surprised, Kaili still hadn’t slept! She was sitting on the balcony, not even in her pajamas.

Dexter’s brow furrowed. The night breeze was colder in the spring and she only wore a t-shirt with shorts.

Dexter hastily took off his coat and put it on Kaili. His strong hands hugged Kaili’s stomach from behind. He kissed the top of her head.

“It’s so late, why haven’t you slept yet? Didn’t I just say there’s no need to wait for me?”

Dexter’s voice sounded heavy and hoarse, maybe because of the cold night. It could also be because of the 2 cigarettes he smoked before going home.

Kaili’s nose inhaled the nicotine scent. She immediately knew this man had smoked.

Why did he smoke? The thought immediately filled Kaili’s head! Because, for all she knew, Dexter would only smoke if he was in a bad mood!

What’s bothering him? Again Kaili asked. The anxiety now made her forget the anger she had been holding in for a long time.

But it was only for a moment, not for long, the pain of feeling cheated instantly resurfaced in her heart. Tears were flowing again from both sources. But what could Kaili do?

She hastily wiped her tears, then turned around and wrapped her arms around Dexter’s stomach, her head crazily resting on the man’s broad chest.

“I couldn’t sleep, I was waiting to tell you something. Is there something you’re hiding from me?”

Kaili’s question was so ambiguous, Dexter furrowed his brow!

“What do you mean?”

Kaili squeezed Dexter’s shirt tightly. She spilled the emotions that hit her heart there. After she was able to control her feelings, then she said quietly, “You left so hastily at night, did something happen? Is it because you’re hiding something from me?”

Dexter laughed hilariously, his wife is really spoiled! He pinched Kaili’s nose, “My friend who was on night duty suddenly had a little accident while treating a patient. Since there was no substitute doctor, so they called me. Honey… You know, I’m just a backup doctor who will only work if getting a call.”

After saying that, he hugged her tightly as if to protect her from the night breeze that pierced his wife’s soft skin.

But what Dexter didn’t know was, the gleam of anger from Kaili’s eyes. Backup doctor, huh? Another lie! Kaili was so fed up! She really couldn’t take it anymore.

She clenched her fists and squeezed Dexter’s shirt tightly as hard as she could! She kept twisting the shirt until the veins in her hands popped out.

But Dexter thought his wife was being spoiled. Kaili’s hands even seemed to be stroking his stomach. He pulled Kaili’s hand and kissed it. “Don’t be spoiled, it’s getting late!”

Kaili still had to work tomorrow. He didn’t want to ‘disturb’ her tonight to do fun things. But if Kaili was still doing this, he really couldn’t help himself!

Dexter wasn’t a man who thinks with his bottom half, but when it came to Kaili, he really would turn out to be someone savage. That only applied to Kaili!

He led Kaili to the bed and said softly, “It’s 3 o’clock in the morning, we should be in dreamland, not still talking as if the night is still long.”

After saying that short sentence, he rushed to the closet and took out a set of his pajamas and one of his white shirts. He smiled meaningfully as he looked at the shirt then handed it to Kaili.

“Wear this, instead of a nightgown.”

Kaili just stared with sad eyes, but Dexter thought it was a confused look! Unfortunately, what Dexter didn’t know was, Kaili was hardly saying anything tonight!

The more Dexter treated her sweetly, the more painful Kaili’s pain was at this moment. It was like … a needle was pricking little by little inside her body.

“Done. Let’s sleep.”

Kaili moved slowly to the bed and lay down without a word. She had his back to Dexter. Dexter, who had just finished changing into his pajamas, was a little surprised to see Kaili tilting her back to him. His brows creased, this was unusual!

He climbed into bed and his strong hands landed directly on Kaili’s stomach. He smelled the scent of her hair, “Why so far away, hmm?”

“…..” Kaili was still silent.

With the other hand, Dexter played with Kaili’s hair. That woman was really annoyed! She really wanted to throw Dexter’s hand right now!

But… that was not what happened.

“Dexter… what do you think love is and how should it be?”

Dexter frowned at his wife’s strange question! Should he explain again what kind of love that he felt toward her? Dexter was sure enough, through the love he gave Kaili, she should have understood the true meaning of love. So why need to be asked again?

If this happened in the past, more precisely before meeting Kaili, this question might be a little foreign to Dexter. He did not understand the meaning of love at all since he had not found someone who could tell him about love and interpret it in his life.

But now, he knew clearly what love is and what the purpose of having love is! However, why did Kaili ask that? Didn’t she understand the meaning of love, even after they were together?

Love was not merely about beautiful things. He recited the meaning of love not after they were honest with each other with their own feelings, but after going through the process of ‘pursuing love’ which was not easy and even very painful. Coupled with their current story, which completed the interpretation of ‘love’ for Dexter. Despite the pain he had in the past, it all felt so worth it!

Dexter shifted his body closer to his wife.

“What’s wrong, hmm?” He pulled Kaili’s chin.

The woman who was being questioned felt uncomfortable and avoided her husband. She didn’t even want to see him.

“Why are you asking such an odd thing?” asked Dexter again.

“I-I…” Kaili stuttered. At this moment, the emotion and pain that she felt were mixed together, filling her heart. She wanted to push this man away! However, she also didn’t want to let him go. This man was her love! Then, why did he have to betray her with a lie? Was this Dexter’s trick in avenging her past actions?

Seeing Kaili’s strange behavior, the wrinkles on Dexter’s forehead grew even more! He was a little confused to see his wife put on a cold face.

“Kaili…” He called her softly.

“Ugh…” Kaili was back to act normal. “Why?” She asked then.

Dexter squinted. When he was about to speak, Kaili preceded him, “Ah, yes… I… Want to know more about the meaning of love, can you tell me about it?”

“…” Dexter was silent for a moment.

Kaili knew that Dexter had been thinking strangely about her at this point, so she tried her best to prevent it. All she wanted was Dexter’s honesty! Was there any honesty? If Dexter could be honest, she would surely forgive him easily.

Besides, right now she was a little afraid of this man beside her. She was scared for some reason! She was afraid that the love that her husband had been glorifying for was not as beautiful as it seems. She feared it was just a conspiracy to ensnare her into hell, for her past sins against this man. What she feared the most was … knowing that love turned out to be so painful that it was packaged in beauty.

Kaili wanted to investigate all this. To be more precise, she wanted to know, was it true that love exists between her and her husband.

“Emp, Dexter…” Kaili grabbed the man’s hand and held it tightly. “Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong to ask something I want to know?”

She tried hard to act normal and a little bit spoiled. She didn’t want her strange behavior due to emotions to complicate the truth she wanted to know.

Sigh!

Dexter took a shaky breath. He glared at his wife intensely since he felt Kaili’s question was a bit strange. He knew very well that Kaili had been treated well by her parents. Of course, she had never received this kind of look from her parents.. Dexter regretted his action that made his wife felt bothered.
