Untamed Charming Wife

“Alright,” Ethaniel gently smiled and took Kayla’s hand as she was in a daze, “Let’s go, Ollie is still waiting for us at school.”

“…,” Kayla turned her head awkwardly and symbolically struggled a bit but couldn’t break free.

Ethaniel led her to his car and leisurely said, “Stop struggling. You’re in my hands, where else can you go?”

Kayla couldn’t resist Ethaniel’s sudden, sweet words that came out of nowhere…

It wasn’t until she got into the passenger seat that she realized this was the same car with a paint job worth a million dollars!

Kayla couldn’t help but sigh, “Even if I didn’t eat or drink for the rest of my life, I could only afford the paint job on this car. Rich people are so sinful.”

“So?” Ethaniel asked nonchalantly, looking ahead.

Kayla laughed self-deprecatingly, “Some people would do anything, abandon everything, to drive luxury cars and live in mansions. But these external things can’t be taken into the grave. I’d rather drive my old police car and live in my old house, at least I have peace of mind.”

Ethaniel understood she was talking about her cold-hearted father. In his eyes, Sam was nothing more than a clown.

His woman was not someone a person like Sam could compare to.

He would give her the best of everything in the world, keeping her away from those unpleasant past memories.

The car stopped at the entrance of Prospect School. Oliver opened the door and sat in the back seat, “Daddy.”

“Hmm,” Ethaniel responded lightly.

Oliver glanced at Kayla in the passenger seat and pursed his small lips, “Miss Green.”

“… Oh, Oliver, I didn’t bring a lunch today. We’re going to have Japanese food…” Kayla felt nervous hearing Oliver call her.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

This kid was surprisingly well-behaved today and even took the initiative to greet her…

…

The Japanese restaurant was delicately decorated, with crystal and fine bamboo dividing it into semi-transparent compartments. The maple wood tables had a Japanese style, with matching white porcelain sakura-patterned tableware, and a woman in a kimono was playing the piano at the back of the hall.

It was Kayla’s first time in such an upscale restaurant. The exquisite decor and expensive tableware made her feel a bit inhibited.

The people eating here were either rich or noble, and looking at herself-wearing an ill-fitting traffic police uniform, with messy hair from Ethaniel-she felt completely out of place.

Kayla and Oliver sat opposite Ethaniel. After Kayla awkwardly sat down, a pretty waitress in a kimono walked over with small steps and bowed ninety degrees to the three of them.

Kayla had only seen such Japanese etiquette on TV. Seeing it in person, she found it somewhat exaggerated.

The waitress took out a menu and began to introduce the dishes. As soon as she spoke, Kayla was completely dumbfounded. What? Japanese?

Before she could react, Ethaniel started conversing fluently with the waitress in Japanese.

Oh, my god! Is there anything he can’t do?

After the waitress took Ethaniel’s order, she turned to Oliver.

To Kayla’s surprise, Oliver, imitating his daddy’s demeanor, calmly ordered in Japanese as well.

“…,” Kayla was still in shock when the waitress turned to her and smiled.

Ethaniel quietly enjoyed Kayla’s fascinating expressions, finding it extremely amusing.

Kayla was a genuine person who neither hid nor pretended, which was one of the reasons he was drawn to her…

Ethaniel’s thin lips curved into a smile, “Ollie, help Miss Green with her order.”

“Oh…” Oliver drawled, his purple eyes glanced at Kayla, and he mouthed, “Idiot.”

Kayla wanted to retort but realized it wasn’t appropriate to speak loudly here, so she could only glare at Oliver.

Unexpectedly, Oliver patiently explained the menu to Kayla and helped her choose dishes to her satisfaction.

Ethaniel’s gaze moved between the two of them.

Ollie liked her.

As a father, he knew this better than anyone.

However, Ollie was reserved and didn’t easily express himself, which is why he argued with her about everything to hide it.

Regardless, Ollie was gradually being changed.

“Buzz buzz-”

The sound of a vibrating phone interrupted them. Ethaniel glanced at it and said to Kayla, “I’ll take a call. You two start eating.”

“Oh, okay,” Kayla replied, but her eyes couldn’t help but dart toward the phone.

Ethaniel couldn’t miss her glance. Knowing she was peeking, he deliberately hid the phone in his hand, leaving with a sly smile.

Kayla rolled her eyes internally. Not letting her see it definitely meant there was something fishy-maybe it was Linda calling…

Kayla shifted her gaze to Oliver, who was eating elegantly, and an idea popped into her mind.

If she wanted to know about Linda and Ethaniel’s relationship, Oliver would surely know.

Kayla picked up a fried shrimp, her eyes wandering, and asked softly, “Oliver, is your daddy usually very busy at work?”

Oliver looked at Kayla with disdain, “My daddy is the CEO of Goldenshore Group and manages many other companies. Do you think he’s like you, just catching thieves?”

This brat had to praise his daddy while belittling her! Catching thieves was her career!

But to continue prying, Kayla forced herself to hold back, “I mean, your daddy is so busy, his energy is limited. He must have a lot of people helping him… so… um…”

“What exactly are you trying to ask?” Oliver saw through Kayla’s little trick. Such a low-level attempt at getting information, and she thought it was clever, tsk.

“… Nothing!” She wouldn’t admit that her sophisticated interrogation skills were easily seen through by a child.

Kayla put several pieces of arctic clam on his plate, “Eat up, little one. You’re so smart, be careful you don’t grow too tall.”

Japanese cuisine emphasizes savoring each bite, yet how can someone like her eat sashimi as a main course?

Though Oliver highly disapproved of Kayla’s dining manners, he still picked up a piece of sashimi and stuffed it into his mouth.

After eating a few pieces of clam, Oliver saw her struggling with a grilled sea snail. He took it directly to his side, using tools to skillfully remove the snail meat, discard the inedible parts, cut it up, and then placed it back in front of Kayla.

“… You’re so stupid. You can’t even take out snail meat. Stop staring and eat.”

This kid was so lovable yet so annoying!

While eating the sweet and fresh snail meat, Kayla asked again, “Oliver, I asked you, do you know the woman who works with your daddy, Linda?”

Oliver inwardly rolled his eyes at Kayla and bluntly said, “Yes, she and my daddy were college classmates. They’ve been together since before I was born.”

“Oh, before you were born…” That meant she wasn’t Oliver’s mother-wait!

Together?

Kayla’s expression froze for several seconds, her neck stiffly turning to Oliver, “They… are together?”

“Working together,” Oliver looked at Kayla as if she were an idiot, “Linda is my daddy’s senior assistant and also a shareholder of Goldenshore Group.”

“…,” Kayla’s heart, suspended in mid-air, settled back down. Talking to this kid was really bad for her health!

The rest of the time was spent mostly with Oliver and Kayla bickering.

As Oliver and Kayla continued their heated debate, a gentle voice suddenly came from the side, “Kayla, what are you doing here?”
