My Sweet Wife

At the bar, Sophie Sabastian was picked up and the rest of Alicia was about to get ready to go back.

Standing beside her, Deputy Director Walton sighed, “What can we do now? We’ve offended Alvin, he’s not investing in the program, and we won’t be able to find such a big investor for the time being, so our program will be put on hold and delayed. Time is money!”

Alicia didn’t even want to listen to Deputy Director Walton nagging about this.

At that moment, the cell phone she was carrying called, she glanced at the caller ID and put the phone to her ear to answer it, “Where are you?”

“I’m at …,” Alicia hadn’t even finished her sentence when she saw an oncoming Issac Shaw.

Alicia greeted him, “What brings you here?”

Deputy Director Walton steps forward to greet him, “Hello President Shaw.”

“I’m bad.” Issac Shaw gave Deputy Director Walton a cold look, then looked at Alicia and said, “Who told you to follow me to a place like this?”

It was the first time for Alicia to see Issac Shaw so angry, and she didn’t dare to speak.

Issac Shaw took Alicia away and got into the car, and Alicia spoke in order to lighten the mood, “Issac, just don’t be angry. I didn’t spend much time there tonight, and I’m fine, nothing at all.”

“With Deputy Director Walton with me. Besides, Kennedy, the owner of the place, is another good friend of Leonardo Cooper’s, and Sophie came here to say hello to him, and he came over to see us himself.”

When Issac Shaw arrived just now, it was to see Kennedy watching his men beating a short, fat man until he was lying on the ground unable to move.

Issac Shaw wrinkled his brow, “Deputy Director Walton is not someone I can put my mind at ease with, and also, don’t come to places like this again.”

“Uh, I’m not coming.” Alicia responded.

Between the two of them, it was always her who was quiet and obedient, except for the inferiority complex in her bones to be stronger, the two of them had never had any quarrels, after all, Issac Shaw was also a gentle and good-tempered person.

Alicia watched Issac Shaw’s frown loosen up before she smiled and found a topic to chat with him, “President Shaw, that entertainment center just now, have you ever been there?”

“Been there once.” Issac Shaw confessed.

He also had some friends who loved to have fun, especially in business, it was inevitable that he would encounter immodest ones who liked excitement and asked him to accompany them.

Alicia turned her face to look seriously at Issac Shaw, “So have you ever been thrown?”

After all, she knew him, that’s the kind of situation, straight to be adopted, although she knew his character, but which man will not be a little past? Especially a rich man, surely there would be a few women in his past.

Just thinking about that made Alicia’s heart very uncomfortable.

“There have been.” It took half a minute for Issac Shaw to say this back to Alicia.

Then he pulled the car aside and also looked seriously at Alicia as he said, “But, I didn’t take it.”

“So, have you ever been with another woman before?” This was something Alicia had always wanted to ask before, but opened her mouth not to ask.

Because she didn’t think she was qualified.

A smile emerged from the bottom of Issac Shaw’s eyes, a smile that was as gentle as jade, “Honey, are you starting to check your accounts now?”

Asked him this question, Alicia’s face appeared red, then she also smiled back to him, “Why can’t I? President Shaw, have you ever had another woman before? Tell me, so I can be prepared, in case someone comes to my door one day, I won’t at least see someone and not know who it is.”

“It won’t come to that.” After a pause, a serious look appeared on Issac Shaw’s face, “Women, however, there is one.”

“Who?”

Alicia’s heart was sore when she heard it, but then she heard Issac Shaw say, “My mom.”

“…” Alicia hadn’t known before that Issac Shaw had a humor cell.

The look on Issac Shaw’s face remained serious, “I’m serious. We have a difficult person to deal with right now, my mom. She popped over to our place, saw your slippers in the foyer and asked me about it. So I told my mom about us being licensed.”

“… this, did Auntie get mad?”

“You should change your name to mom.” Issac Shaw corrected before following up by speaking, “She’s not mad, she’s just staying at home, just waiting to see her daughter-in-law.”

Alicia looked at him quizzically, “So, our mom doesn’t know you’re married to me?”

“Uh-huh. She was waiting to see you at home, and you told me you were going to accompany Sophie Sabastian on a business meeting with Deputy Director Walton today, so I drove over to pick you up when I realized you were here. Now our mom is home alone.”

Listening to what Issac Shaw said, Alicia was as apprehensive as a drum.

Before they got the license, she had agreed with him that she would hide her marriage for the time being, after all, she had only just started to have a little success, and she still wanted to go to the Louvre to stabilize, or wait until she was pregnant again, and then let Issac Shaw talk to the people at home.

Think about it, at that time she wanted to go to the Louvre to work, afraid of Issac Shaw does not agree, and he negotiated for a long time, and finally she and he softened, took the initiative to pull him to get a license.

At the door of the house, before entering, Issac Shaw took Alicia’s hand and told her, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

He led her through the door, so Alicia felt a lot more at ease.

As soon as she entered the door, Issac Shaw’s mom, who was sitting on the sofa inside, smiled and got up to greet her, but the moment she saw Alicia, the smile on her face was instantly frozen, “Issac, didn’t you say you were going to bring your wife … No, you’re licensed to be married to her, right? !”

“Didn’t you just say that you married Dragonflies, the painter of the Louvre? I just inquired about this Dragonflies person … how now …”

Issac Shaw’s mom felt very messed up.

Issac Shaw pressed his hands on Alicia’s shoulders and slightly pushed her towards his mother, “This is Dragonflies, Dragonflies is her stage name.”

As painters, it was all about having a stage name, something simple and memorable.

Of course there were quite a few who used their real names, Alicia chose to use Dragonflies, simple and memorable, with the meaning of metamorphosing into a butterfly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“This …” Issac Shaw’s mom looked at Alicia in shock and didn’t know what to say for a long time.

Alicia bowed to Issac Shaw’s mom and said, “Mom, I’m married to President Shaw, I love President Shaw very much and I hope you can accept me.”

She didn’t know what she should do to make Issac Shaw’s mom accept her, she could only show her 100% sincerity.

Issac Shaw’s mother back to the sofa, did not say anything, a mouthful of water, as if in the soothing of anger in general, after a long time, she exhaled a long breath, looked to the still bowing did not raise her head Alicia said, “just, just, since you have already been married, what can I say what’s the use! ”

“You have also impressed me nowadays, being able to enter the Louvre, which is the highest hall of painters that some people can never enter in their whole life.”

Hearing Issac Shaw’s mom say this, Alicia just breathed a sigh of relief, and just after being helped by Issac Shaw to stand aside, she heard Issac Shaw’s mom say again.

“It’s just that I’m really not comfortable with you there at home. In the past when you were with Issac, the people in your family, although they didn’t know about it, but in order to look for you, there were several times in front of the radio station.”

“Issac stepped in to smooth things over, and even went to your old home to give money once, so that they agreed to sign a severance letter with you.”

“Issac, he went through a lot of trouble for your sake, and since you were out of the country all these years, he didn’t have a good time either. I asked him to go on blind dates, and although he listened to me, he muddled through every time.”

“After all, he is also in his thirties, if he continues like this, I’m afraid that he will have a child even later than even his younger brother.”

Mentioning Issac Shaw’s brother, a very unnatural look appeared on Issac Shaw’s mom’s face.

After all, Tiana was the one she saw and left to her eldest son, although she still became her daughter-in-law, but she really sulked in this regard, her two sons are both outstanding, Tiana is just a better family, where can she still pick her son.

Alicia also knows about Tiana and Issac Shaw’s brother, and Tiana is pregnant.

Anyway, now that the situation is like this, Issac Shaw’s mom is anxious to get her eldest son, Issac Shaw, married, and she is not so repulsed by Alicia.

Issac Shaw looked at Issac Shaw’s mom, “Mom, then since you agree, I’ll bring Alicia home tomorrow and meet dad.”

“Uh-huh.” Issac Shaw’s mom answered.

After sending Issac Shaw’s mom away, Alicia sat down on the couch in a weak state, looked at Issac Shaw and said, “President Shaw, that’s nice. This time our mom just agreed without saying anything, I thought I wouldn’t be able to get through this.”

Issac Shaw sat on the couch and let her lean on his shoulder, “When my mom goes back today, she will definitely talk to my dad about setting our wedding date.”

“Can this … not be a wedding? You also know that there is no one in my mother’s family, if we have a wedding, I …”

Alicia was still worried that people would talk about her and think she was not good enough for Issac Shaw.

Issac Shaw also knows what she is thinking, “Then let’s have a Chinese wedding, and say that the area is far away, and do it on both sides.”

Alicia nestled in Issac Shaw’s arms and thought quietly, after a while, she spoke, “President Shaw, how lucky I am to have met you. Those people in my family, they gave you trouble, and you didn’t blame me at all, you didn’t even mention it to me.”

“President Shaw, what exactly do you like about me? Obviously by your side, there are a lot of women with outstanding family background and good looks and qualities, why did you choose me?”

Thinking about their encounter at the beginning, if he hadn’t gone to that place, the two of them, who were from completely different worlds, wouldn’t have had the possibility of meeting each other.

Issac Shaw kissed her brow, “What I liked about it I don’t know, all I know is that I just took one look at you back then and decided that you were the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.”

“President Shaw, I didn’t think you could talk about love before, did you say that to coax me on purpose?” Alicia smiled brightly.

Issac Shaw stared at her with burning eyes, “No.”

“Then you took one look at me and decided, I don’t look like a vixen, I’m just a very ordinary person, how could you look at me? You must be coaxing me …” Before she could speak, her words were swallowed up by him as they were.

She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him back, telling him with her actions that she loved him.
