My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Rain drove directly over to Waterside, where Leena had been living. Their homes were now much closer.

"Hey, you tightwad! There you go! Your wine." Rain tossed the gift bag straight into Kevin's arms as soon as Kevin opened the door. Kevin's request had been expensive, costing an exorbitant amount of money. 'If not for Kevin, I could have saved the money and bought Richard more toys, ' he reasoned.

"What's wrong with you? Did you run into shit again? Why are you so angry?" Kevin was confused by Rain's childish behavior. Though comical, something about his conduct smelt fishy.

"Worse! I was being taped out!" Truthfully, money was not an issue, as the amount was mere pittance to Rain. However, he didn't like to be fleeced or taken for a fool.

"Uncle, uncle." Richard ran towards Rain as soon as he heard him arrive. Rain was delighted as always by the cute angelic child.

"Hey, little man! You have grown so much taller already. Tell me, does your mommy feed you like a cute little piglet, ripening you for slaughter?" Rain scooped Richard up and placed a great big sloppy kiss on the infant's chubby cheek.

"Don't be so mean to me, Rain. From what I see, you are actually the pig, and not a cute one." Leena had heard Rain poking fun at her son and her. So the moment she stepped into the living room, she shot an annihilating look at Rain.

"No way! My dear sister, I see that you don't love your brother anymore, especially now that you have a son to replace him in your heart. I feel so sad!" Rain instantly turned into a professional, if overly melodramatic, actor. Hand clasped over his heart, he feigned extreme disappointment and suffered with a deeply furrowed brow.

"Okay, it's time for you to give it a rest now! Richard is going to laugh at you," Leena complained sourly, while looking over him from head to toe. She was immediately alarmed when she noticed his slightly red eyes. What happened to him? Had he cried before coming here?

"Richard, tell me, will you laugh at your uncle?" Rain continued teasing Richard. Prec

d everything. It was only natural for her to move on.

Leena opened her mouth, trying to refute this, but silence swallowed her words eventually. Only someone who had been in such a heartbreaking relationship could understand how it felt, and know that there were no words that could help.

A regular board meeting was held on Monday. During the proceedings, Vance kept trying to persuade the board members to vote Rain out. Uncharacteristically, Rain did not grow angry at all. Instead, he merely sat silently; not even trying to defend himself, and leaving them to their heated discussion. As the company's director, he should be open to all opinions, but he almost seemed disinterested.

"Are you done? If yes, then it's time to get down to business now." Rain suddenly shook off the appearance of being lazy and indifferent. He sat upright and cast a cool glance at the gathering.

"What business? We have been discussing the day's business. Haven't you noticed? Don't try to mislead everyone." Vance glared at Rain angrily. Rain's calm demeanor made him rather unsettled.

"Distribute the files to everyone, please. It's now time to voice our opinions." Rain turned a deaf ear to the fuss Vance caused and signaled his secretary to hand out the files. In his eyes, Vance was nothing but a clown, trying to stir up his audience. He decided to ignore his antics.
