Alexander gingerly laid Yan Xiaoran's body on the bed without waking her up. He then put the blanket over her body and slid off her shoes from her feet.

Behind him, a woman wearing a grey dress and had eyeglasses on said, "Alexander… What's going on?"

She was extremely shocked when the maids rushed to her room and told her that Alexander, her nephew brought a woman in his house.

This was the first time, she's heard of this and thought that the maids were just fooling around and wanted to lie to her and give her false hope so, she couldn't believe them.

Having a nephew who was never seen outside with a woman in his arm or rumored to have dated a single woman, Haruka was having doubts about her nephew's sexual orientation and wanted to introduce him to some Japanese wealthy heiress she knew but that idea was instantly rejected by Alexander.

Being a Japanese modern woman, having a family member with different sexual orientation wasn't that frowned upon but if it was the other countries with more strict and complicated judgemental society, Haruka knew that Alexander wouldn't be able to escape the persecution of the public.

That was why she was in constant worry for her nephew and kept on pushing him to live in Japan. At least in Japan, there wouldn't be too many people who will throw things at him for his sexual orientation.

However, it seems that she didn't have anything to worry about since Alexander really did bring an unknown woman in his room and even treated her so tenderly that Haruka would believe it if someone told her that the woman lying on his bed was his girlfriend or wife for many years.

She watched as Alexander took the young woman's shoes from her feet and tucked her beneath the blanket as if he was afraid of letting cold wind touch her.

When Alexander finally stood up, he turned to his aunt and said, "Let's go out first."

The two of them went outside of the room and slowly closed the door.

When the door was completely closed, Alexander said, "I don't know how I can explain this but I don't have enough time. I need to go to Japan and come back as soon as possible. Haruka-san, can you please look after her and make sure she gets well?"

Haruka blinked at her nephew, already used at how he kept on calling her Haruka-san rather than, Aunt Haruka.

"You want me to take care of a stranger? Wait. That's wrong. Knowing you, you will never let an unknown woman come inside your house much less, let her sleep on your bed. So, who is she?" She said, wanting him to explain.

Her nephew suddenly brought a woman to their house but that didn't mean Haruka would just let things be. She knew how several women wanted to get Alexander's attention and who knows if the young woman in his room was pulling off an oscar award-worthy act to seduce him.

Thus, Haruka was becoming suspicious on behalf of her nephew's safety and protect him from being scammed.

However, she totally didn't think that Alexander would be so shameless and without a change of emotions on his cold face, he confidently said, "My wife."

The gentle and full of affection face he had when he's with Yan Xiaoran earlier in the car was gone.

However, when he called her his 'wife', a smile swiftly appeared in the corner of his lips before vanishing like it never came in the first place.

Seeing this, Haruka became more concerned with him since she didn't want him to have his heart broken into pieces by someone knowing the things he experienced at a young age.

"Alexander… I never heard of anyone in this house getting married and most definitely, I never heard of you getting a wife when you left this morning." Haruka frowned at him.

"I know." Alexander shook his head and said, "Haruka-san. I finally found her."

…

Haruka pressed her temples as she sat on a chair near the bed where the young woman her nephew brought home.

She first didn't believe the maids nor Alexander words but after seeing the truth and hearing the identity of the young woman sleeping on the bed from Alexander's lips, she couldn't stop sighing.

Haruka was Alexander's aunt from his mother's side who belonged to a Japanese family. However, his mother died early and as the only person who could take care and guide Alexander when he was younger, Haruka had to step forward and took him away from the toxic and hateful Qu family.

She could still remember when Alexander almost died after the Qu family tried to kill him and cover things up as a traffic accident a few days after his father's death. That day was intense and Haruka almost had a fight to the death with the Qu family. Thankfully, Alexander woke up and stopped her before she could do anything to them.

Thinking about it for the 63rd time, Haruka wished nothing but to continue where things were left off in the past and get her hands on anyone from the Qu family for what they did to Alexander and to her sister and brother-in-law.

As a woman who came from a yakuza family, Haruka learned how to fight and make other people suffer. However, it was only at that time in the past that she was unable to protect her sister's family.

If it wasn't for Alexander stopping her, Haruka would have already called her father and let their men exterminate the entire Qu family.

Haruka sighed and thought about the words her nephew said earlier before looking at the young woman's pale and frowning face. She suddenly shivered in fear as she couldn't believe that he really found her after a long time.

The woman he was looking for was the same young girl he told Haruka that he promised to marry in this life and the same young girl who almost killed him after stabbing him in the chest.

Sighing deeply, Haruka said in the dark, "Why do I have to babysit again?"
