21 Just a temporary husband

"Oh, I see..."

 Dexter's answer which sounded very relaxed, hurt Kaili even more. 'What? Even her own husband didn't try to hold her back and just gave herself up to strangers?'

 This was totally unfair. Kaili felt that her world was destroyed. Who could she use as shade?

"Then, if Peter didn't accept Kaili, what would you do? Marry her to another man? "

Bump!'

Dexter's statement was like a meteor falling from the sky. Everyone fixated, included Kaili.

In fact, in this case, Dexter mentioned Peter's name without using the word 'mister' in advance. Likewise, when he mentioned Richard, Dexter thoughtlessly called the skinny man 'you'.

Richard was deeply offended by Dexter's statement just now, especially regarding the nickname used by the cold man which was obviously deliberately disrespectful.

However, seeing the calm expression on the corner of Dexter's face, which was showing no feeling of guilt, Richard did not become angry. For some reason! But the calm face on Dexter's face as if it were still water indicated that there was indeed a danger.

"It's none of your business, Doctor Dexter! All you need to do is to divorce my daughter."

"Oh ..." Dexter raised his eyebrows after that returned to silence. As if there were no words to say next.

After waiting for Dexter's next words for a few seconds, but Dexter did not speak, Richard opened his voice.

"I have...."

"What if I say I have an objection?" Dexter interrupted Richard in a loud voice. Indeed this was what the cold man was aiming for, he wanted to interrupt Richard. He wanted to show his blatant impoliteness.

"You?" Richard was now filled with anger. "This is irrelevant. I don't care whether you agree or not! Nobody awaits your approval!"

"I see ..." Dexter looked at Kaili, accidentally that moment Kaili also looked at him. Their eyes knit for a few seconds. Then Dexter looked away lazily.

"What if I say, my consent is indispensable in this matter?"

Dexter could see Richard's expression in deep displeasure. Anger was clearly visible in the heart of this skinny man who was more than half a century old.

As Richard wanted to say his displeasure, Dexter spoke up again. "As you know, I am Kaili's legal husband."

Hearing her name mentioned and being juxtaposed as the wife of the man she loved, made Kaili's heart tremble. Did she hear it wrong? Could this be a good sign of their relationship? Dexter didn't hate her anymore?

Too bad, Kaili is too naive! She also realized that how naive she was right now. She knew Dexter couldn't say all of that without a purpose, but still, even so, Kaili couldn't take away the happiness she just got from Dexter's last words.

"Divorce cannot happen without my consent!"

 The Goh family rounded their eyes. They were stunned by what Dexter said. Richard and Stella did not think that Dexter would dare to say so. Didn't he love his life anymore? Richard Goh vows that he will make it difficult for Dexter to live his life.

 Meanwhile, Kaili, with a heart that felt like jumping from its place, stared at Dexter intensely. This man ... Is he defending their household now? Could Kaili expect that from someone who hates her?

 "Doctor Dexter! Don't make me feel uncomfortable with you! I appreciate your kindness in saving my child and don't go over the top for it! " Richard Goh exclaimed with great emotion.

 "Great, if you still remember that I saved your daughter. It means without me, you can't even see her now. Moreover, I am her legal husband. Who do you think has more rights over her? "

 "You ..." Richard Goh growled. "Believe it or not, I can make your life difficult! You could easily lose your current job!" threatened Richard.

 Instead of responding to Richard's threat, Dexter said something else, which was getting out of his mind.

"Moreover, in marriage, there are no 'outsiders' who can intervene the household consists of husband, wife, and children." Dexter deliberately emphasized the words when he said "outsiders", he really wanted to slap Richard slowly.

 "But, Kaili is my daughter, I have the right to her!" said the Gohs couple in a compact manner.

 "Well, but don't forget that I'm her husband too. When you want to marry her off, you both know that you are no longer responsible for her. She will belong to her husband. I am now her husband. "

"You're just a temporary husband and the title of a husband will expire in one week."

"Is it true? I don't like repeating my words. There wouldn't be a divorce if one of us didn't agree! Right, honey? " Dexter looked at Kaili. "Divorce will only happen if you want that," he continued then lifted Kaili's chin, kissed her gently in front of Kaili's parents.
