Chapter 156 - A Deal

Dexter looked around, there was only a small food stall with a blue tent. His brow furrowed, "Are you sure we eat here?" It was street food, in an open and noisy place.

"Is there something wrong?" Kaili asked back while pulling Dexter's hand, "Husband, come on!" Dexter followed her. They sat down after choosing a clean place.

"What do you want to eat?" A man wearing an apron smiled at them, then gave an ugly and outdated menu. This menu should have existed for about 15 years.

Dexter shuddered. He had always kept his identity hidden, but that didn't mean he had to eat at a place like this. It was the first time!

"You choose!" Dexter handed the menu to Kaili. It was not easy still being so gentle in a place like this!

Kaili didn't refuse either. She ordered 2 types of meat and vegetables, then closed the menu book, "Thank you, we'll order that!"

"Alright, wait a minute. We'll prepare the order." The man was so friendly. He always had a warm smile.

After the man left, Kaili laughed.

Dexter frowned, "What's so funny?"

"Just look at you, making too many weird moves! If not looking down, looking at the table, or looking around. Haven't you ever eaten at a stall?"

Dexter didn't cover it either, "No!"

Kaili didn't want to discuss it anymore. She just nodded.

"Oh, then I've chosen the wrong place. But don't worry, all the food here is delicious. Seriously!"

"Is that so? But is it hygienic?" The place was open like this, and noisy!

"Hygienic? Of course! See, they wash everything before they are used and cooked."

Dexter: "..."

"Come on, don't frown like that. You have to try the food here."

"..."

Kaili was at her wits end and unwillingly said, "Or should we find another place to eat?"

Seeing his wife who had been cheerful, Dexter couldn't bear it, "No need. This is your recommended place to eat, I want to try it."

Kaili was happy to hear that. Her husband really couldn't see her sullen face!

"It's just that I didn't expect you to eat at a place like this."

Kaili looked around, then replied, "Ughh, what's wrong? Is it really weird that I eat at a place like this? Dexter, not everything that happens in this world is predictable."

Haha... Dexter laughed in disbelief!

"I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth."

That's right, she did often visit simple restaurants like this, not for no reason, she did it all because of this man in front of her.

At that time, even though they were not in a good relationship, even at the stage of hating each other, Kaili ridiculously thought that one day she could marry Dexter. Hence, she prepared herself for a simple life. Of course, because so as not to burden the man.

"But it's so hard to believe. You come from a wealthy family and your parents always pamper you. Even though your family isn't crazy rich, they could afford a very comfortable life for you."

Kaili didn't want to lose, "Oh, yeah... that means you don't really know me. I probably come more often to this place than the daughter of a poor family."

Dexter "..."

He didn't know Kaili, how could that be! He always asked someone to look after this woman! He reported everything that happened to her, including the repeated failure of her date with Peter.

But thinking about it, it was true, he missed many stories of this woman, for example when she was almost depressed because of the night he raped her.

Remembering that, his heart became crumpled, a feeling of guilt enveloped his heart.

Not long after, the food arrived. As usual, Kaili would eat voraciously. While enjoying the meal, the television, which had been on for a long time, presented the latest news.

At first, neither Dexter nor Kaili were very interested in hearing this, but when the name 'GohCorp' was mentioned, only then did Kaili stop shoving food into her mouth, and focus on the news, with the headline, 'Swan Enterprise took all the capital and shares ever reported on gohCorp, and the cooperation between these two companies ended.'

Kaili's body was shaking violently. Suddenly, she felt nauseous and wanted to throw all the food that had just entered her stomach.

Dexter was worried to see her. He held Kaili's hand, "Honey..."

He himself was at a loss for words to comfort his wife.

A reporter continued to share the news, "The shocks GohCorp experienced a few years ago had a bad influence on its operations, which led to it lending so much money from Swan Enterprise. Reportedly, the company's finances are still stable, if they have to repay all the loans, will GohCorp still be able to handle it?"

The reporter kept reading the news and now it was even hotter than the previous Swan Enterprise news.

In an instant, the GohCorp news had become the hottest topic, both on the internet and across television and radio channels.

Dexter felt guilty. If he didn't touch Swan Enterprise, then the GohCorp company wouldn't come at this stage! He was wrong!

Moreover, seeing Kaili's condition that had been silent for a long time, without any tears and trembling body. He couldn't help but blame himself! The mastermind behind all of this was him!

"What kind of news is this?" Dexter immediately turned off the television. The people around also felt a little scared seeing the dark aura in his eyes!

He pulled the chair closer to Kaili. The woman's body was still trembling and not a single word came out of her mouth. Dexter knew, his wife was so scared that her soul felt thrown into a dark abyss right now.

"Kaili, baby… Speak, don't be silent!"

Kaili: "..."

"What if we go home? Let's just go home, okay?" Dexter was about to lift her.

However, Kaili dodged. She grabbed Dexter's hand and held it tight. "Dexter... Papa, how is he?"

"I'll find out, okay. But please calm down. Don't be panic, let alone react like this! It hurts me so much..." Dexter's tears almost flowed. He was so devastated to see Kaili like this.

Those words didn't make Kaili relax. Fear was still evident in every movement of her body. Dexter really wanted to kill himself! He was so stupid, not thinking about the repercussions of his actions.

"Honey... Let's go to the car. Let's just go home." Dexter put the money on the table. He immediately carried Kaili regardless of the woman's refusal.

Arriving in the car, he hugged his wife tightly, so tightly and warmly! As if he wanted to convey peace to her. "If you want to cry, just cry! Don't hold it in. Don't worry, it's only us here. You are free to cry to your heart's content."

Dexter kept whispering those words. Occasionally, he kissed the top of Kaili's head.

"Kaili, you can pour all your worries over to me. Don't you believe you can rely on me? Don't be like this, you scared me so much."

Kaili realized, she looked at Dexter intently and held his hand, "I... It's not that I don't trust you. Dexter, I'm just afraid papa will be stressed because of this. He worked on the company from zero, what we enjoy now is the result of his hard work. I know very well how he feels when the company is in trouble."

"Kaili, it's common in business to have such a problem. He's a pretty great businessman. It's impossible not to have experienced this before, right? And in the end, he made it through it all. This time he will be able to pass it too."

What Dexter said made perfect sense, the taller the tree, the stronger the wind. But... Didn't his father's company survive because he borrowed a lot of money from Peter's family with the promise of marriage? This time, how would his father deal with it all?

Dexter seemed to understand his wife's concern, he whispered, "Maybe I can't help him with capital, but I will find investors who can handle the financial problems of your father's company. According to GohCorp's good performance, it shouldn't be difficult to get investors."

Kaili raised her head, her eyes fixed on Dexter's black eyes, "Dexter... Are you serious?"

Dexter nodded, he kissed Kaili's forehead before replying, "Hmm... I give you my words."

Kaili was excited. She hugged her husband tightly, "Dexter... Thank you. I'm going to call papa now so he doesn't have to worry about company matters." Kaili took her phone.

But Dexter stopped her, "Don't rush, I haven't even looked for it yet. Moreover, if I manage to find that investor, don't say it's because of me." 

Hearing that, Kaili's face darkened again, "Do you still hate my parents?"

"Ughh... Did I ever say that I hate them?"

"Then why don't you want papa to know you're going to help him?"

"There are many reasons. Especially, I don't want to be accepted as a son-in-law because I helped him. I want to be accepted because they are ready to accept me."
