Master's Untamed Wife

"Hey, you! Babysitter no 2!"

The man who was addressed as 'babysitter no 2' looked up at Hyson respectfully. "Yes, Young Master."

"I'm bored. Talk to me. I don't like silence and that stiff face of yours. Smile a little. Don't you know such a serious face has a bad influence on a child's mind?"

The group of people around him, all controlled their facial expressions. They were really amused at the way Hyson just addressed himself as a child. It was as if, he truly believed himself to be a child.

According to his orders, the group of babysitters *Cough!* bodyguards tried to smile for him but looking at their scary smiles, Hyson scoffed, "Forget it. My innocent heart of a child would be scared silly with that kind of a smile."

Putting his arms behind his head, Hyson leaned back and looked around before yawning. He was really getting bored so he started whistling. He couldn't use the phone or laptop because he was instructed to rest and these babysitters were controlling the time he could spend online. He was born in the generation who loved to roam around on social media!

You can't expect him to sit still. After getting tired of whistling, Hyson recalled a song he recently heard and started humming it. And slowly, the humming turned into the lyrics...

??Let's go back to the summer night

When we met eyes, it's like a movie line

Kissin' underneath the city lights

But now you're laying in another guy's arms

'Cause I'm all gone ??

The timbre of his voice was slightly husky as he sang softly. But it was soothing and magical even though he was just singing as a means to curb his boredom. Even the men standing around him couldn't help relaxing a little with the sound of his voice.

??But when you look in his eyes

Do you think of mine?

And when you look at that smile

Do I cross your mind?

I know in your head

You see me instead

'Cause he looks a lot like I did back then

Baby don't lie

He's just a lookalike ?? (Song: Lookalike, Singer: Conan Grey)

Hearing a bit of sadness in his tone could make anyone feel emotions that they might have buried after a breakup.

*Clap! Clap! Clap!*

Hyson looked towards the door when he heard the sound of clapping and found Cloe standing there staring at him.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you're singing from experience," said Cloe.

"What are you doing here?" asked Hyson in surprise. Suddenly it hit him, "Don't tell me, Ellie sent you over here? To do what?"

Cloe smiled at him and instructed the others to leave the room. Then she sat down beside Hyson, "Of course, it's to check up on you."

"I have enough babysitters here," said Hyson in displeasure.

"I knew you had a beautiful voice but hearing it live really broke my heart."

"Broke your heart?" repeated Hyson in confusion.

"You reminded me of my last boyfriend," answered Cloe. "I hate him! Bastard! Moron!"

Hyson chuckled softly at her words before saying, "If you hate him so much, why remember him?"

Cloe looked into his eyes, "If I forgot him, I'll have to forget the foolishness of falling in love with him either. And I don't want to do that. It's a reminder I can't be a fool in love again." She sighed out bitterly, "Also, being a woman, I do want that cheater to remember me! I want him to see what he lost! And I do want him to look for me in his current partner but he'll never be able to do so! Because I ain't her!"

"Wow! That's some emotions you've been burying in your heart," remarked Hyson in surprise.

Cloe scratched her chin sheepishly, "Sorry! I got too aggressive."

Hyson waved his hand, "I don't mind listening. In fact, I was certainly waiting for someone like you who could give me company. So, tell me what exactly happened?"

Cloe took a deep breath and told him, "We met in high school. We started dating in high school and even went to the same college. We even used to live together. But in our final year, he cheated on me with someone I called a friend. So I just took my self-respect and walked out the door. Rather than keeping a relationship, I wanted to keep my self-respect."

Hyson tsked at her, "You've had it tough."

Cloe laughed out a little before adding, "In fact, I'm actually proud of what I did. Before moving out, I took all the spices that I bought from his kitchen."

"Huh? Spices? Why?"

Cloe gave him a sly look, "He can look for another bitch to spice up his life. Because that bitch ain't gonna be me!"

"Pfft!" Hyson laughed out so loud that his internal injuries started hurting. However, he still couldn't stop laughing. "Elle was right. You're really fun to be around."

"Chief said I'm fun to be around?" Cloe questioned in shock.

Hyson nodded his head, "You're exactly like she told me about you. Or maybe a little crazier than that. But you're really fun to be around. I like you."

Cloe looked at his pale face and felt happy that she managed to make him spice even though she was mentioning the most bitter time of her life. Well, at least, her breakup was funny enough to keep him entertained.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at your pain," said Hyson. "I know that breakup must have been hard for you. After all, you never dated after that. It shows in some way, that relationship is still holding you back."

Cloe was taken aback to see how he understood her. No wonder he was Raelle Xiang's best friend. She shrugged her shoulders saying, "You can laugh. I don't mind. It's been too long. He is even my sister's husband now. So, I really don't give a fuck!"

Hyson's jaw dropped at her revelation, "Your ex-boyfriend not only cheated on you with your friend, he even married your sister later on?! What kind of sicko is that?!" He took a pause and added, "Oh, man! Your life is even more dramatic than an online novel!"

Cloe smiled at him, "Novels come from reality, Hyson. In fact, sometimes reality is a lot more ugly than the stories we read. In novels anything can be romanticized, even violence can become means to fall in love but there is nothing romantic about violence. Even an affair is called true love. But in reality, the person who got cheated on, only that person would know how much pain they had to go through."

"I heard you love watching romantic movies," Hyson pointed out.

"I do," replied Cloe. "But that's just a means to escape reality. As I said, the reality is quite bitter."

Hyson pursed his lips, "Maybe I shouldn't have started this topic."

He really didn't mean to hurt her by bringing up her past but he didn't expect her past to be so dramatic. He already knew what kind of a family she had and now, on top of that all of this. He really didn't know what to say about this.

Cloe shook her head, "Okay! Let's forget about this all now. I'm here on a mission."

"Mission?"

"Yes!" nodded Cloe. "My mission is to find the culprit. I have to find the person because of whom you ended up in the hospital. So, let's start from the start and tell me in detail what happened."

"Um... About that... Mmm..." Hyson was hesitating, not wanting to continue this matter.

"You can stop dawdling," said Cloe. "Even if you don't want to pursue this matter, Chief won't let this go." She took a brief pause and added, "You know I've spent years with her. And yet, this was my very first time seeing her leaving an important meeting halfway through. I was shocked. I always believed, she did everything for profits and benefits. She would never take a loss. And that is why I concluded that she is kind of heartless. But now, that belief is shaken, Hyson. For the very first time, I have seen her giving a reaction."

Hyson knew Raelle better than Cloe, so how could he not understand her words?

"I think she is overreacting," he said.

Cloe shook her head at his words, "I don't care. At least, it's a reaction. She never even reacts when people hurl abuses at her face. She finds it troublesome to act against people. Especially since it won't bring her any benefits. But this time, she is willing to overreact for your sake. It finally feels like she is somewhat human."

Hyson smiled at Cloe, "She is human. In fact, she is a lot more human than you think. And trust me, she isn't heartless either. If anything, my best friend has the most beautiful heart in the world."

Cloe was stunned. Not because of his words but seeing the tears that had brimmed up in his eyes when he talked about Raelle.
