36 Ways To Chase After My Wife's Love Chapter 20

Dexter looked at Kaili with a frown. Suddenly Kaili's whole body shook. Her forehead was almost filled with sweat, but Kaili easily dispelled the nervousness in her heart with a sweet smile. Showing her neat teeth. It can't be fooled, in addition to Kaili's shining eyes, her smile is also very charming. Anyone who saw it would be tempted, including Dexter at this time.
"Hemp ..." replied Dexter, while hiding a small smile that had filled his thin lips because of Kaili's charm.
"Wait ... I have something to discuss with you!" Richard Goh stopped Dexter who was getting ready to leave.
"Papa, Dexter has to go to work," Kaili answered. She did not want her papa to speak more nonsense and be heard by Dexter.
"To hell with his job! Even if he worked his entire life, he wouldn't be able to made as much as I made!" Richard's voice was loud. He felt that his daughter didn't respect him anymore, because she had repeatedly opposed his words earlier.
"Kaili, don't be a stupid woman, who always defends your husband. It's true what your papa said. Do you think if it weren't for something important, we'd be wasting our time coming here? If Doctor Dexter was working, your papa was the same. He even postponed his important meeting! Why Dexter just left? " Stella replied, after being quiet for a while.
"Mama ... It's not Dexter's fault either. You come unannounced and he is just about going to work. You'd better go home and come back on Sunday."
"Next week? Do you think we have a lot of free time? This is very important! How can you postpone it until Sunday? You've only been his wife a day, how come you could talk so presumptuously to your own parents!" Stella replied.

"Ma, that's not it ..." but Kaili immediately stopped when she saw Dexter turn around and sat back on the sofa.
"Dexter ... you didn't go to work?" asked Kaili carefully.
Instead of answering Kaili, Dexter spoke to Richard Goh. "Tell me ... what do you want to talk about?" he said coldly.
Even though this was Richard Goh, Dexter did not bother exchanging cold expressions and words.
"It's about your marriage to Kaili ..."
Dexter's cell phone sound interrupted Richard. He frowned at his cellphone screen. His face was sour but did not cover the worry in his expression.
Kaili knew that this time Dexter should meet Silvia. It had been more than 10 minutes. Even though her heart was reluctant to see Dexter with Silvia, but as a woman, Kaili was also afraid that Silvia would wait alone in the middle of the road.
"Um ... you better pick up that phone call first."
Dexter immediately went to the room without answering Kaili. There, Dexter looked for a contact name on his cell phone. No need to wait longer, the call was connected.
{Yes, young master? Where are you?}
"Silvia is in the middle of the border road between her apartment and the hospital right now. You should be there in 2 minutes!"
{Heuh? Two minutes—}
* Toot * the call was ended by Dexter before waiting for his assistant to finish talking.
On the other side, Brady frowned slightly. This wasn't the first time his master, —Dexter — had turned off the call before even finished speaking the order. It was always like that, brief and vague. Brandy, as Dexter's accomplice, must be alert in everything. Even if the task was not well explained, he must be able to digest every command that was given to him.

Such as at this time, Dexter did not say the reason, Brandy, had to go to the border of the road, but he could already guess, that Silvia was in trouble. He had to immediately contact someone who could take the young lady's car to the garage and drive Silvia to the hospital. It was guessed, and Brandy had to do it well.
"Sigh ..." Brandy sighed roughly. Without delaying any more time, he immediately went to the place the boss asked him to.
After contacting Brandy, Dexter went straight to Richard Goh and his wife. When he joined, Kaili gave him a worried look, it made Dexter's expression darken even more. Displeasure.
"Since I don't want to waste my precious time, I will get to the point." Richard Goh started the conversation.
Dexter was still to his expression. No surprise, anger, emotion, or displeasure was displayed on his handsome face.
"Frankly speaking, I don't like you." Richard Goh paused for a moment.
Richard's words did not surprise Dexter. He remained calm. Unlike Kaili, that woman's eyes had perfectly rounded. She wanted to say something, but his father interrupted it.
"To be precise, I never wanted a doctor as my son-in-law. I want to have a son-in-law with the same profession as me, a businessman. Mr. Peter Swan is the one I hoped for, but it all happened. I owe you for saving my face in public, but that doesn't mean I will give you my blessing ... "
"Papa ...! What do you mean?" cried Kaili. She interrupted his father's words. This was the first time in her life yelling at the father that she loved so much.
"Kaili ...! What tone do you use? Watch your words!" Stella yelled back at Kaili.
"Mama, but—"
"Just tell me what do you want, Mr. Goh!" Dexter spoke up after being silent.
"That is better. He he he ... "Richard Goh laughed. He thought Dexter was being reluctant and afraid of him. Gave him a big head.
"As I said before, you better end this marriage as soon as possible ..."
Kaili felt like she was going to stop breathing after hearing her father's order. Her chest felt tight. The lungs that were hiding in the chest seemed to be unable to pump the air properly.
"You have to get divorced within this week! I've talked to the Swan family, there is still a chance they will accept Kaili."
'Stuck!'
All of Kaili's internal organs seemed to stop. The blood vessels were no longer working. Her heart was no longer beating. Her lungs were no longer pumped. All seemed lost. Her soul seemed to go somewhere.
Were they still the parents she loved and respected? What hadn't Kaili been doing all this time to please the hearts of the two people she called "parents"? In fact, she sincerely gave up her love to follow their wishes, but is this what she got? Who did they think Kaili? Wasn't Kaili their daughter?
The question that had been stifling her mind, returned to pop, 'Am I an adopted child or an unwanted child?' Kaili's eyes turned red, holding back the heartbreaking sorrow. Her lips trembled as if to speak, but she didn't have the strength.
