36 Ways To Chase After My Wife’s Love - Chapter 166

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.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to glare at you, I was just a little confused about the purpose of your question. What is it? Can you tell me?”

Kaili shook her head. “Ugh… What the hell could happen? I … I just want to hear directly from your lip, what is the meaning of love. Can you tell me, please?”

Dexter brought the distance between them closer. He grabbed Kaili’s waist and hugged her tightly. Kaili’s head was placed on his broad chest, while his pointed chin was dropped on the girl’s head.

“What do you want to know about love?” Dexter asked.

He didn’t understand the meaning of love if he didn’t meet Kaili. After pursuing his love for 5 years and then entering married life, then slowly, Dexter’s eyes opened and understood the meaning of love.

If Kaili wanted to hear his opinion now, then he would be happy to answer according to his heart. If according to Kaili the answer was not satisfactory, then they would both learn to understand the true meaning of love.

Love was not what you get, but… what you have sacrificed for it, without expecting it to come back to you. But, in its own way, it will give you a greater reward than what you give. That’s why, in love, there was the word, ‘thank you’.

Kaili squeezed the gold ‘Jacquard Tencel’ bed sheets. It was very inconvenient for her to continue to act casually, while her heart was rebelling! But… she had to do this. If it was not like this, was there any other way to find out what the man who’s holding her was hiding right now?

“I want to know whatever’s on your mind, tell me, okay?”

“Hmph… Okay.” Dexter didn’t refuse either.

If he had hugged Kaili earlier, now he pulled his wife’s chin so that they looked at each other.

Dexter looked deep into Kaili’s green eyes as if to say, ‘look into my eyes and you will find the answer you want’.

Dexter was silent for a moment while still staring at the green eyes of the woman he loved so much. He didn’t answer the question right away.

GLEG!

Kaili gulped her saliva. She felt very uncomfortable being stared at intensely like this. She used to like it when they were staring at each other for a long time. She used to like it when there was a warm feeling and her heart was beating fast. Sometimes she even had difficulty breathing if their eyes locked at each other, but now that comfort feeling was nowhere to be felt. It was not that she didn’t have any love for the man who had now become her husband, it was just… Admittedly, she was quite disappointed right now.

She didn’t know what secrets Dexter was hiding from her. Maybe all she knew right now was only about Dexter’s identity, but who knew if there were many other lies! Kaili only hoped that this was the only thing Dexter had lied to her.

Dexter stroked Kaili’s cheek gently, down to her chin. He smiled widely. His heart filled with deep gratitude, only then did he open his mouth and say, “That love… is you!”

Kaili’s eyes bulged, for some reason this answer stings in her heart! If love, then why did he lie? The sound of that phrase immediately filled her mind.

Kaili bit her lower lip to hold back the pain that pierced her heart.

Dexter pulled Kaili’s chin back gently, then slowly his face leaned in front of Kaili’s. Whether Dexter’s movements were very fast, or Kaili was too deep in her thoughts, a warm kiss landed on her lips.

Dexter kissed her briefly. Then immediately kept the distance between them.

“Kaili, honey… what should I say, you’re making me confused.” Dexter frowned.

At the same time, he continued, “I understood the meaning of love after meeting you. After having you, the meaning of love in my heart was perfected. I think you do feel the same, like me, understand the meaning of love by looking at our story. However, if you don’t understand, and then take a look at our love journey, you will get the answer you want.”

Because for Dexter, being able to have Kaili was a big joy for him! He loved this girl so much. He spent five years to get her and did whatever he could.

However, he slowly understood, love did not have to have. He also slowly gave up his original goal of having Kaili and prioritized her happiness without giving up his love. For him, the important thing was that the woman he loved must be happy in life. Even so, he did not stop giving the best he could to protect this woman, selflessly, without expecting his love to be reciprocated, without being seen, just because to make her happy.

He always asked people to look after her secretly. Ensure her safety. Including keeping her away from Peter, because Dexter was very sure Peter was not a good man. He no longer dwelled on the goal, ‘You have to love me back’ but, ‘okay, anything for love, anything for you to be happy.’

His presence at Kaili’s wedding an hour before the blessing wasn’t meant to make Kaili his wife, no! He just wanted Kaili’s marriage to Peter to be annulled.

It was said that being left on the wedding day was the most embarrassing thing for a woman. She would bear the wound of shame for the rest of her life. Any man would not want to marry that woman again. That was why Dexter volunteered to marry Kaili.

At that time, what he knew, Kaili did not love him, so he had prepared an excuse to divorce her a few months after they got married. Although, of course, he was unwilling to do so, but as long as Kaili was free to choose her path.

When the woman’s parents forced him to divorce within a week of marriage, he insisted on keeping the marriage, not wanting to ensnare Kaili, but because he knew, the Goh and Swan families would continue the marriage! He would not allow Kaili to marry Peter even if his corpse turned to dust! That man wouldn’t make Kaili happy and Kaili wouldn’t be happy if she married a man who didn’t know how to respect women!

Dexter just wanted Kaili to fall in the right hands, at least those who knew how to appreciate her in all her flaws and spoiled attitude. If he thought the man would not be able to do that to Kaili, then he would also insist on keeping Kaili from entering into such a relationship.

However, unexpectedly, only one month of their marriage, they could express their love freely. That love came to him. He had the love he had longed for! Such an extraordinary reward, even he felt that what he had sacrificed to love Kaili was nothing! He was determined to love this woman and treat her well.

Hearing Dexter’s answer, Kaili’s brow furrowed. She was silent, and so was Dexter. The atmosphere instantly became quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the air conditioner beeping regularly.

Judging from their relationship, yes! Wasn’t this answer bullshit? Obviously, their relationship started with a lie. What kind of love started with a lie! She felt so sad and heartbroken. It turned out that she married a man she didn’t even know his background, other than a name! Wasn’t this the saddest thing?

Kaili smiled, she lifted her lips and said, “Then, how important is honesty in a relationship?” Kaili spoke up and broke the silence.

Dexter’s brow furrowed again, honesty? Instantly, all the lies he had committed to Kaili replayed before his eyes. He clearly knew honesty was important in a relationship, but until now he still hadn’t dared to be honest with Kaili. He didn’t know where to start when he was going to reveal everything he was keeping secret because there was already too much.

Dexter was silent. Kaili’s heart was torn again, but calmly, she said, “My mom once said, the secret of their lasting marriage relationship, apart from complementing each other’s shortcomings, they also always hold on to honesty. Mama said they were honest with each other in everything. So it’s not surprising, even though their marriage relationship has almost entered the 30 years of marriage, they are still like a young couple who just got married, romantic every time and shows love to each other.” Kaili smiled. The image of her parents’ romantic relationship popped up in her mind.
