Chapter 933: Close-Knitted Family

Chapter 933: Close-Knitted FamilyBy the time Shui Xian and Raelle came back home, it was already past noon. They only stopped on the way to eat a quick breakfast but it still took a while to get back home. Entering the manor's door, the servants greeted the couple politely and someone informed Shui Koshing who was having a lazy morning on this weekend.        

"Oh, the whole house has lit up just as you stepped inside," Shui Koshing laughed happily as he came to greet his son and daughter-in-law.      

"Bà, I didn't know you missed me so much," said Shui Xian sheepishly.    

Shui Koshing pushed him aside with an ugly expression, "Who is talking about you? Don't put gold on your face." Then his face blossomed once again as he looked at his daughter-in-law and went on, "My dear daughter-in-law, your father-in-law missed you very much. The house looked so lonely without you here. It's good that you're back." He took her hand in his own and patted the back of her hand lovingly.      

Raelle didn't pull her hand back. She had already accepted Shui Koshing's touch a while ago. Her father-in-law was actually very adorable. He always gave her that fatherly love that was missing from her life. She might not have needed it but once she had it, she found it quite precious.      

"You already got tired of living alone? Should I repeat myself? Who was the one who wanted us to move out to build our loving nest?"    

Shui Koshing scratched his chin as he said, "Daughter-in-law, I already told you. I'm old. I can make mistakes at this age. It's allowed. I get muddle-headed sometimes. But isn't that why I found myself a genius and rational daughter-in-law? Whenever I'm losing control, you can bring me back on track." He pulled her inside and made her sit while ordering the servants to serve her the whole world. Sighing, he caressed her head, "My poor Raelle, you have suffered. Look how much weight you've lost. It hurts my heart to see you like this."    

Raelle felt like these words sounded very dramatic but she could see that Shui Koshing meant every single word he just said.      

"I think it's Bà who has suffered more," she replied. "Look at how much white hair you got in just a few days. Your eyes show that you lack rest. Your spirit isn't looking good. Bà must have worked hard these days."    

Although Shui Koshing did work a lot these days and could feel that his spirit wasn't good. When Raelle said it, he could feel her care and concern, and surprisingly, it was enough to lighten up everything in his body.      

"How is that any of your fault?" asked Shui Koshing. He glared at his son, "It's all this unfilial son."    

"Bà..."    

Before Raelle could continue to stand up for her husband, Shui Koshing sighed, "I know, I know. I'm not supposed to say anything to your husband. You should stop standing up for him at every turn."    

"If he is wrong, I won't stand on his side," said Raelle. "I even sent him to work to lighten up your workload. He did whatever he could."    

Shui Xian didn't even join their conversation, he just sat beside Raelle silently and listened to everything. There was a time when his father used to wait for him and would always show concern when he didn't come home for days because of work. Now, the situation was different. All that attention had shifted to his own wife. So what if his father didn't pay attention to him now? He was happier now.      

Not only did his father was attentive toward his wife, but also his wife was there to stand up for him. What else could he ask for? Why would he ask for attention when he had such a warm and peaceful family?    

"I heard you went to the temple?" asked Shui Koshing.    

"Yes, we are just coming back from there," replied Raelle.    

Shui Koshing smiled gently and said, "Then you both must haven't had a good rest. Go. Go to your room and rest. We'll meet for lunch."    

"Bà should also rest," said Raelle.    

Shui Xian nodded along with her, "You should really rest Bà. I am back home. I'll take over the work."    

"What take over the work?" snorted Shui Koshing. "You obediently keep taking care of our Raelle. Take one step away from her and I'm gonna break your legs. Is it the time when you can leave her alone? Learn to be a good husband!"    

'I still have to learn that?' thought Shui Xian to himself and when he looked at Raelle, he nodded mentally. 'Okay, it seems he could really do an even better job.'    

"He is already a very good husband," said Raelle.    

Shui Koshing laughed helplessly at his daughter-in-law, "Raelle, I'm standing up for you. Can't you back me up?"    

"If I do that, my hubby will feel left out," was her response that left others with no way to react.        

Shui Xian happily took her hand and said, "Come. Let's go to our room."    

While they were talking, none of them noticed that Amiah had been watching them from a distance. This scene before her gave her a very complicated feeling. The three people in front of her looked like a close-knitted family. They all seemed to be teasing each other but in fact, it showed how close they were to each other.    

At this moment, she realized that even she had never been this intimate with her own father even before everything changed in their family, there was always a distance between her and her father. She always thought it was because her father was too busy and had no time for her or that he wasn't a gentle person. But looking at it now, it seemed he was still the same but everything still seemed unfamiliar to her.    

Was it really her who never understood her own father?
