"When Hyson asked about your divorce, I was there," she answered honestly. It's not like she wanted to act like a thief back then. It was all because of Hyson for asking that question at the very moment, she got there. 

"No wonder, Yue Fai asked me that question out of nowhere," said Shui Xian in understanding. He was finally able to understand why Hyson asked that question. "Your best friend is really cunning."

"It doesn't matter whether you heard that or not," he told that to her. "It wasn't like it was a secret. And even if it was some kind of a secret, you are allowed to know it." He stood up as he added, "Because you're my wife."

Raelle followed him as she asked, "So, you don't mind it?"

"I don't," he answered. He tucked her hair behind her ear, "Have you been feeling guilty about it? Is that why you've been so silent?"
