My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

As soon as she disappeared behind the bathroom door, Rain got lost in his thoughts again. He was considering how he should deal with this thing with Tiana. He really wanted to help her get through this problem. If her crazy old mother, Sheena found out where she was, she would surely be taken back and be forced to marry that old man. He just had to do something to stop it. Tiana shouldn't have to be used as the sacrificial lamb and marry the old man for the sake of her family! Rain wouldn't let this happen to her. He didn't know why he was so keen on helping Tiana, but his gut told him that it was the right thing to do.

In the evening, Rain gave Edward a call, asking him for a favor.

"What's the matter?" Edward picked up the call and walked out on the balcony. Daisy just got out of the shower and was blowing her hair so it was a bit noisy in the room. He stepped out so that he could hear Rain better.

"Yeah. Can you do me a favor? Can you talk to your father and ask him to check if Tiana is really Sheena's biological daughter? I have a feeling that she might have been adopted." The more Rain thought about this, the more Rain believed that there was a big possibility of Tiana being an adopted child. He didn't think that it was possible for a mother to do such a vile thing to her own daughter. Besides, he never thought that Sheena really cared about the young Tiana. Her motherly love always seemed a bit fake to him.

"Are you serious? Why? What's going on?" Rain's words piqued Edward's interest. He also wondered, since when did Rain start to care about anyone from the Ke family. Why did Rain care about Tiana so much? He just couldn't make sense of it.

"Yes, I am serious. Today, in front of the company, I heard Sheena talking. She used a wrong word that made me suspicious about it. She must have slipped unintentionally," Rain answered in a serious tone. If Tiana was indeed not Sheena's real daughter, then so many things would make sense. He really hoped that Edward's father could help him find the truth about it.

"Oka

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

t astonished him, suddenly not knowing what to say or do next. In Daisy's mind, it was not a big deal to admit this to her husband from time to time, if this would make him shut up. She didn't have to win the argument all the time. In fact, even if it appeared that she lost but she got what she wanted, then she was the one who would have won.

"Umm..." Edward was at a loss for words all of a sudden. Never had he thought that Daisy would bluntly admit to him that yes, she was indeed afraid. It was not like her to admit fear and defeat without even putting up a good fight.

Seeing his reaction, the corners of Daisy's lips curled into a smug smile. She had made him tongue tied, not knowing what to say. She had stunned him! It was rare and this made Daisy very proud of herself. Well, it seemed that sometimes, one didn't have to always struggle to get the upper hand and win. Sometimes, maybe just admitting defeat would turn out to be surprising results.

But on the other hand, Edward wouldn't be himself if he just completely gave up that easily. He was stunned for a minute but he regained his thoughts and quickly grabbed Daisy right before she was about to walk out of the door. He gently pulled her towards him, and Daisy, who was not prepared for his sudden moves, fell into his tight arms with a startled look on her face. So she did not win after all.
