Obviously, Raelle didn't have to go to the pet store to get Coco in person but she still did. In her opinion, since she was borrowing someone's property, she needed to show some sincerity. And that's how she ended up going to get Coco from the pet store.
Coco was just as excited as always. Coco was the kind of dog who spread happiness. Coco jumped around Raelle who involuntarily took a step back. Even when she arrived home, she kept her distance from the dog. But Coco was somehow charmed by Raelle and insisted on trying to rub against Raelle's leg which Raelle would definitely not allow happen.
"Keep this thing away from me," Raelle ordered in a flat voice.
The people following her pursed their lips to hide their smiles. They never thought a dog would end up putting Raelle Xiang in a difficult situation.
"Missy, that's a dog," stated Anna. "Not a thing." Raelle gave her a blank look which made her change her statement almost immediately, "Definitely a thing."
Raelle didn't care about these details at the moment, she saw Shui Xian's car driving in and said, "Untie the leash."
And as soon as Shui Xian stepped out of his car, he heard...
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Hearing that excited barking, Shui Xian was stunned and as he looked up, he was taken aback by the shadow that jumped on him. It seemed Coco did have an impression of Shui Xian as she tackled him down on the ground and started licking his face all over.
Shui Xian laughed heartily, "Oh my! Where did you come from?" He petted Coco's head lovingly. He was genuinely surprised to see her here. When he noticed Raelle standing not far away, he didn't even have to think to know what was going on. Who else would do it for him if not her?
He cupped Coco's face and kissed the dog's head, "I take it that you missed me as well. I did too."
With her arms crossed against her chest, Raelle continued to watch this scene play out in front of her with no change in her expressions or her emotions. The only change about her was the fact that she had been watching that big smile on Shui Xian's face intently. He looked really happy and from that Raelle could deduce that she had taken the right decision.
Not like she ever doubted her own decisions but it was still good to know that she managed to bring a huge smile on her husband's face back. After all, she found his laughter to be the most beautiful.
Shui Koshing also came out to the front garden and stood beside Raelle as he watched his son having fun with Coco. His eyes moved to his family's daughter-in-law who stood beside him and his eyes softened.
"My daughter-in-law is really thoughtful," he commented.
"Am I?" questioned Raelle. "But I only did what I thought was right."
Shui Koshing smiled at her answer, "The most beautiful thing about you is the fact that you don't even know what you're capable of."
"Bà," she called out after a moment of silence.
"Hm?"
"I'm not really that perfect," she told him.
Shui Koshing chuckled at her words and lifted his hand to rub her head gently, "No one is asking you to be perfect, Raelle. I did not choose you as a partner because I found you perfect. You just have to be you, somehow that's enough."
Raelle thought about his words and nodded her head, "I understand."
"Are you planning on staying there the whole night?" Shui Koshing called out to his son was rolling around on the grass in his suit that was completely ruined by now. Forgetting all about his image or status, currently, Shui Xian was just like a kid. This scene actually reminded Shui Koshing of Shui Xian's childhood.
"You can go inside," replied Shui Xian. "I'll be right there with you."
Shui Koshing shook his head at him and said to Raelle, "We should go inside now. Let him be. He'll come inside when gets tired."
Raelle nodded her head and turned to Anna, "Bring that dog back to her home."
"Yes, Missy."
"No, wait! Feed her something first," instructed Raelle.
"What should I feed her?" asked Anna on purpose. For some weird reason, she felt like teasing Raelle right now.
"How would I know that?" retorted Raelle. "I'm not a dog. How would I know what dogs like to eat? Just do your own research."
Anna nodded her head and lowered her head while biting down on her lower lip to stifle her laughter. And when Raelle went inside the house, she couldn't hold back. Raelle wasn't a dog person. No, it'd be right to say she was just not an animal-loving person. That didn't mean she hated animals, it just meant she kept her distance from animals. Pets had never been something she wanted to keep.
The ever so silent, Aiden finally opened his mouth to say, "Team leader, you shouldn't tease Missy like that."
"I couldn't help it," replied Anna. "It's not every day you get to see Raelle Xiang being so clueless."
"It's the way she is that sets her apart from the world," Aiden pointed out.
"For people like us who have become accustomed to seeing dark hearts and worst parts of human nature, it's novel to meet someone like her," said Anna to him. And that was the reason she had chosen to stay beside this girl as a bodyguard. Leaving the path of blood that she walked on as a mercenary, she had never thought she'd come across someone so unique like Raelle Xiang.
For people like them who walked on the road of darkness, people like Raelle were fascinating and equally scary. After all, the light that emitted from Raelle's soul was too bright.. Sometimes darkness has a yearning to embrace that light and sometimes, darkness is scared of being devoured by that light.
