135 Ch. 135 Alexander Howard
Ever since she was young, Anxia had keen senses, so she became the best-trained hitman by Master Yu. She didnât need a camera or visual night goggles when infiltrating a dark place.
As soon as she was at the door, Anxia could immediately guess how many people were behind the door. Even if she was wrong, it only meant that an unexpected person had appeared from afar.
Most of the time, Anxiaâs guess was accurate whenever she was about to open a door somewhere. And she was sure that only Sheylie lived in this place. Yet now, she sensed that there was more than one person in this place which meant the other two existences were uninvited intruders.
As soon as Richard was about to open the door to Sheylieâs apartment, Anxiaâs magical instincts kicked in and immediately prevented her husband from opening the door.
Richard lets his wife in like a thief while carrying a knife as if ready to pounce on someone. After all, he knew there was no threat of danger inside Sheylieâs house.
Before Richard had time to tell Anxia about this, a cold voice sounded from within threatening words.
âYou better fling your weapon, miss, before I blow your head.â to prove his threat was not a bluff, the man pointed his gun at Anxia and prepared to pull the trigger.
Richard widened his eyes in shock when he saw that person pointing a gun at Anxia. Immediately Richard stood in front of Anxia, blocking the personâs view.
âAlex, keep your gun away from my wife.â
.....
Anxia and Alex both frowned at Richardâs suppressed anger in different thinking. Anxia wondered if Richard knew this older man named Alex. While the other frowned when he heard the word âwife.â
âRichard? Alex?â a womanâs voice was heard, and suddenly the roomâs lights turned on drastically.
Previously only a tiny lamp was the light in the main room, but three adults could see their surroundings. At first, Alex didnât take out his gun when he heard someone open the door, but when he saw a girl enter carrying a knife, he couldnât help but reach for the gun and point it at the girl, thinking that the girl was a criminal targeting his family.
On the other hand, his wife, who had just entered their daughterâs room, did not have as sharp eyesight as the three. But she recognized the voices of her husband and Richard very well.
She wondered why Alex was uttering threatening phrases and realized that her husband was threatening Richardâs wife. Thatâs why she immediately turned on the roomâs light so they could see each other.
As soon as the room became bright, Anxia could see the figure of a gray-haired but fresh-looking older woman standing there with a gentle smile.
âRichard, itâs been a while and Alex, why are you pointing a gun at Richard?â
Alex lowered the gun back down and tucked it into the back of his jacket. âYou canât blame me. That girl came in first like a hooligan, â snorted Alex, then walked over and casually sat down on the sofa.
âXia Xia, let me introduce to you the two of them are Sheylieâs parents, Alexander Howard, and his wife, Kirena.â
Anxia nodded her head once to Kirena. âIâm sorry; I didnât mean to attack you. Itâs just that, as far as I know, Sheylie lives alone here. So when I sensed the presence of two strangers, I immediately went on guard.â
Everyone who heard it, including Richard, widened their eyes in shock.
Anxia could feel the presence of two strangers even though the girl hadnât entered the room yet??
Richard didnât know whether he should be proud or worried about his wifeâs unique gift. He was worried that his wife would experience a similar situation when she entered a family memberâs house in the west, especially if she entered Kinsey Alviancâs house as she did before.
In contrast to Alex, who still held the trigger of his gun, Kinsey would have immediately shot without finding out who was entering the house suspiciously.
Imagining this made Richard shudder and wish that something like this would never happen.
It was another case with Alex, and he wondered about Richardâs wifeâs past life before she had a marriage with Richard. People who could detect human presence without using tools were not ordinary ones. Not to mention, which normal girl would enter a house with a knife? It would only make the occupants of the house misunderstood!
âIs this your daughter?â asked Kirena, trying to defuse the tense atmosphere between her husband and Richardâs wife.
âYes. She is sleeping. Can you check her up and alsoâ¦â Richard glanced at Anxia, which his wife immediately understood, and took the vile. âThis is the antidote, but I donât know if itâs the right one.â
âOkay, Iâll test it.â
Without saying much more, Richard brought Lori into the room, then carefully put her on the bed. Anxia glanced at Alex briefly before following her husband to the guest room Sheylie had prepared for them.
âRichard. Your baby is charming.â praised Kirena in a voice as low as possible not to wake up this beautiful sleeping princess.
Richard smiled proudly as if the older womanâs praise was meant for him.
âWait here with Kirena; Iâll meet Alex for a while,â whispered Richard to Anxia.
Then Richard walked out and sat down next to Alex in a casual manner.
âFirstly, you told no one that you were married, and secondly, you had a baby out of wedlock. And now youâre dropping another bomb by marrying an abnormal girl??â
âDonât say that. Xia Xia looks normal to me.â
Alex rolled his eyes lazily at Richardâs reply with a mischief smirk.
âThat is not what I mean. Did your father know about it?â
âOf course. We stayed at his house for a few days.â
âOh? And he said nothing?â
âSir Howard, trust me. My dad has already lectured me at length, so I donât need yours.â
âIf you say so. But I still couldnât believe it. How could she detect someoneâs presence behind the door? Iâm a bit in awe of him.â
Richard chuckled at that, once again feeling proud as if the praise was meant for him.
âIsnât she amazing? This is also the first time I know of my wifeâs unique ability.â
âLove is blind is truly not an understatement, huh?â
âAs if youâve never fallen in love.â Richard sneered without hesitation.
âHahaha⦠I guess youâre right.â
