The CEO's Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 85 - Little Bits of the Past

Since he knew that Xi Ana would still be waiting on the phone he tried to finish showering as fast as he could. When he's done, he went out and picked up his phone upon seeing that the call is still connected his heart feel warmed.

Not being able to contact Xi Ana the whole day made him realize that he could really be clonfy to this extent.

"Still awake?" he sat down on the bed while drying his hair with a towel with his free hand.

"I told you I'll wait, right?" the curve on his lips grew bigger at her words although the woman said that she will fall asleep if they are not talking her voice didn't contain any hint of sleepiness.

It's rare that his wife is doing something like this so he knew that there must be something she wanted to say as for what it could be, he only has an idea but it may not exactly be correct.

"Do you have something you want to talk about?" he tried to initiate the topic but it doesn't mean he would force her to speak.

"I do." you could her the determination on the firmness of her voice whiles saying those words.

"Did something happen today?"

Lim Yi Sheng already had someone investigate if there is something that happened in City M but today but the only significant thing that happened was the house that was burned at the suburbs which is a property of Fang Wenna's uncle which the police concluded that there was a possibility that it was done by an arsonist.

This matter shouldn't really concern him if it was a normal day but his instincts tell him that Xi Ana and her friends are somehow connected to this it's just he wasn't sure what is that 'connection' itself.

"Uhm."

There is something in the way Xi Ana answered he just couldn't figure out whether it's hesitation or what.

He sighed, maybe she's not yet ready to tell him anything. "Were you hurt?"

"Not really."

"Then that's more than enough. You talking to me right now means that you are safe, if that is the case then I can be at ease at some point."

"You won't ask anything about it?"

"I want to." I really want to, I've been wanting to ask you questions ever since the day I became your husband Ana. Those were the thoughts that's been lingering on his mind.

"Then why don't you ask? Is it because you're afraid I would lie to you?"

"You might hide things from me but you won't lie to hide it, I could at least see the silver lining in between the two. Furthermore, I don't want to ask is because I'd rather you tell me on your own than to force you to answer my questions. The fact that you told me you want to talk about it is enough for me for now because that means you are, at the very least considering the idea of talking about it with me."

They may have been married for more than half a year now but it does not change the fact that they also have known each other at the same amount of time. Their personalities and past experiences unconsciously limits their feelings for one another.

"Don't you think you're being too considerate of me. You know that I'm keeping a lot of secrets from you right?"

"I know."

"Then don't you think that I am not saying those things to you is because I don't trust you enough?"

Those words unconsciously made him pause, if it was her ho said it does sting a bit.

He thought for a while before answering, "Of course, there are times when I felt like you don't trust me enough and I felt like I have to work hard to gain that. I want to be a person you can rely on. I'm just a man, I get insecure but whenever those times happen I always try to convince myself that maybe it's not about not trusting me but that you have other reasons why you can't tell me those things."

"I don't know how you could say something like that."

"You also know about it right? That there are also some things I don't tell you so who am I to ask for something even I couldn't completely do?"

This is also one of the reasons why until now they haven't gone further into their relationship because they are keeping too much from the other that they are subconsciously holding themselves back.

"I'll tell you next time about what happened today, for now let me tell you something about my past."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/little-bits-of-the-past_50208730968551449">#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/little-bits-of-the-past_50208730968551449</a> for visiting.

He was quite shocked with her words he didn't expect her to open up, "Are you sure? You don't have to force yourself, Ana. I can wait."

"Since I've already decided to tell you about myself I should do something before I start backing out again."

Before he could process this fact Xi Ana already started speaking, "I bet you already half of this anyway. That I witnessed my mother's murder."

Hearing what she said, Lim Yi Sheng was utterly surprised. This is hist first time hearing this from Xi Ana herself.

"I heard about it from Grandfather Xi, he talked tonme about it."

Isn't it that she can't remember about that incident? Did someone tell her?

"What you probably know is that I can't remember about it and that I may have that condition called Cognitive Dissonance where one subconsciously alters his memories of a certain event in his life to regain that balance they always had. In my case, that was their ȧssumption."

Did she perhaps remember everything? "Ana, do you know what happened that night?"

"Rather than knowing, it's more appropriate to say that I have never forgotten."

"So you are saying that up until now you were just pretending that you can't remember what happened?"

"You can say that because all the things that happened that time, every single thing is clear and vivid in my mind. There is no such thing as Cognitive Dissonance."
