91 Ch. 91 Richard’s Cousins

Richard traced her earlobe with his tongue, inflicting a sensual tingling spread to her nerve system. Anxia could no longer push her husband’s advances.

Anxia felt that if she let Richard continue to touch her, eventually, Anxia would yield in, and she was still not ready to give him her whole heart. She stopped his deadly seduction before it was out of control.

Anxia used all her strength to free herself from Richard’s grip and then placed the sandwich plate on the table. She ran out like a kitten trying to escape from a dog right after she found an opening.

Seeing Anxia escape without even glancing at him made Richard laugh out loud.

“Ah, she ran away.” Richard took a bite of the sandwich. He brought his coffee cup to his desk because he wanted to continue his investigation of his mother-in-law.

Ting!

A notification sounds indicating someone has sent him a message.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

One of Richard’s eyebrows rose when he heard the notification tone repeatedly, and only then realized that the incoming message came from his cousins. The group chat members were Richard, Raymond, Kendrich, Diego, Henrich, Celdrich, and Theo. They often played together and pranked adults when they were teenagers.

.....

And this group was created to discuss their delinquency strategies as well as to play online games together.

Kendrich, who likes to play, has opened a new division in his company. This division develops special design programs for games.

‘Hey, free up your time next week.’

‘Why?’

‘My team has finished testing the online game The Dark Witch. I want to fight the main boss on the hundredth floor. You guys have to help me.’

‘The Dark Witches? It sounds great. Put me in!’ (Diego)

‘I pass. I can’t come.’

‘Okay, who else? I need five people.’

‘Me’ (Henrich)

‘I can’ (Richard)

Richard hadn’t played with his cousin for a long time, so he joined.

‘Me too, then.’

The last chat came from Raymond because Theo and Celdrich couldn’t join.

‘How about your wife?’

‘Our baby will not be born in two weeks.’

‘Okay. See you three days at eight in the evening.’

At eight? It means it would be two in the morning here.

At least he could play contentedly without disturbing his time with his wife and daughter.

‘Btw, Richie. I heard you’re married?’

Richard, who was sipping his coffee, suddenly choked on reading the chat from his brother.

How did he know?

‘Kenken! You told him??’

‘What? Not me!’

‘Not KenKen, but Diego.’

Richard was at a loss for words reading his brother’s answer. He knew Diego had Miyu as his digital assistant but never expected his older cousin would infiltrate his private life!

Richard was a real hacker, and his cyber security was second to none. But still... he was nothing against Miyu, the Tiffany II created by his father.

‘Richie is married? Since when?’

‘Does Chleo know about it?’

‘Hey! Why didn’t you say anything? When did you guys get married? Why not invite the family?’

Richard stroked his forehead as if he suddenly felt tired. This was why he didn’t want to tell his cousins about his marriage.

Men generally didn’t like to gossip, but it was a different story if a man gathered with his close friends. They would be like gossipy women who talk about whatever they want without brake.

In his case, they weren’t his close friends but his cousins. Not surprisingly, they all grumbled and tried to fish out about his wife when they heard that Richard had secretly married.

‘Richie, what’s your wife like? Diego, do you have a photo of his wife?’

‘I do. But I won’t send it. I don’t want Richie to hate me.’

‘Right. I will hate you if you reveal my secret more than this.’

‘Haiya, Richie, since when have you been hiding secrets from us?’

‘Since ancient times.’ Richard replied matter-of-factly, causing his cousins to send many angry demon head emojis.

‘Hey, you guys are going to New York for Christmas, right?’ this time, Theo diverted the subject, realizing Richard had no intention of enlightening them.

Theo was curious about what kind of girl had captivated his cousin, who fancied traveling to various countries. Therefore he used another tactic.

If Richard came to America for Christmas, wouldn’t that mean they would meet his wife?

‘Ah, right. My father had told me we would have Christmas differently this time. The elders will gather at Uncle Vincent’s house, while our generation will gather at dad’s resort. You guys have to come, otherwise...’ Kendrich added an emoji like someone in a mysterious robe carrying a knife to kill someone.

Of them all, Kendrich was the youngest and the liveliest. That’s why he was the most liked.

Richard was still reading every chat post from his cousins ??without joining in. He wanted to come to hang out with them, and he also really wanted to introduce Anxia and his daughter to them.

Instead, he wanted to show the world that Qiao Anxia was his wife and Lorraine Summer Richie was his baby girl.

But...

Richard remembered that Anxia really hated Michelle, and he still had to focus on investigating his mother-in-law.

He knew Anxia wanted to save her mother, but what if that older woman didn’t want to be saved? What if her mother turns out to be an unexpected enemy?e

Moreover, his mother-in-law’s capacity to walk around Europe without being caught made him inevitably have to be vigilant. If only his father’s home camera hadn’t captured Loraine Shu, Richard would never have known that his mother-in-law was still alive.

That’s why he didn’t answer Theo’s question or say no to coming to America for Christmas.

He still needs to find out if his wife would go to the states and meet Michelle without causing trouble. He firmly believed that even if Anxia were sweet to him, that woman would not want to act the same in front of his sister-in-law.

If he hadn’t met Anxia and hadn’t fallen in love and had an extraordinary daughter, Richard would have come to join his family in America.

It wouldn’t matter where he is, even at the North Pole; Richard will definitely get on a plane and head to the states only to be with his extended family.

But now that he had found his love and his daughter, Richard would always prioritize them both.
