Chapter 4: Assistant


    Keh rolled his sleeve up, showing his lean arm. “I’ll make the dinner.”


    “Here’s the apron.” Rachel tipped her toes and took the apron from the shelf. She spread it out, wanted


    to help him put it on. “Your shirt is white in color; it would be difficult to clean if there’s oil stain.”


    Keh gave her a glimpse and turned around, Rachel then quickly put the apron on him.


    As both of them were doing the house chores, they chose a bigger size when buying the apron.


    Although he was tall, it was still amusing to see him wearing this piece of cloth.


    Rachel did not leave the kitchen but stayed at the entrance watching him bustling around instead. For a


    man disying elegance, it was still pleasant to watch him doing these kinds of chores. “Well, why did


    youe back today?”


    Although during their marriage they had agreed that unless Keh needed to go for a business trip,


    he must go home every weekend, yet she thought he would note back when he had done so


    yesterday.


    Keh was busy washing the vegetables and did not turn his head back. “It’s weekend.”


    “Oh.” Rachel’s eyes dimmed.


    Of course, if not for the agreement on contract, it turned out that he would note back even if it was


    his own apartment.


    “Was there anything you wanted to talk to me on phone this morning?” Keh asked. He exined,


    “It’s my assistant who picked up the call and she told me someone’s looking for me. I realized it’s you


    when I check my phone.”


    Assistant?


    What kind of assistant would address her boss that affectionately?


    “I just wanted to ask whether you’reing back or not.” She still did not manage to ask him why he


    did not save her number as she felt ufortable just by listening to what he said at the beginning.


    She turned and went to the living room.


    She browsed through Weibo listlessly and felt anxious after a while. She then unconsciously opened


    Baidu.


    When she regained her consciousness, she realized she was searching ‘why my husband did not save


    my number’, ‘husband’s assistant being affectionate towards husband’ and so on all over on Baidu.


    She could not help but tap the bunch ofments open, which was all about ‘your husband’s been


    derailed, be careful’, and ‘check your husband’s phone to gather evidence for divorce to get more


    money afterwards’…She gave a wry smile and felt bitter inside.


    It was at this moment, Keh carried a dish out from the kitchen and called her, “Come and eat.”


    “Oh, yes.” Rachel hurriedly kept away her phone.


    They used to be silent when they had their meals. Rachel peeked frequently at Keh with a


    Keh washed the dishes and went back to their room.


    He must have been busy in his work recently as he went to bed straight after taking a shower. Keh


    was already asleep when Rachel went inside the room after putting on her mask. He slept with his back


    facing her, and Rachel felt that there was a huge gap between them that could not be bridged.


    Her eyes were fixed at his phone ced on the bedside cab. She stood there for a long time and


    finally could not help but take it over.


    She knew the password when she used his phone to take photos.


    After entering the password, Rachel browsed his mails which mostly concerned his work and was


    barely understandable to her. Her breathing stopped when she browsed until the message part.


    There was a read message with only a few words: Ken, thank you for today. I’ll treat you something


    delicious some day when I’m free.


    Sabrina Torres?

    So that’s the name of the assistant? Or is her just another woman?


    Rachel could not discern how she felt when she saw the message. Keh must have deleted it if it


    was an unimportant message.


    She shut the phone down and ced it back onto the cab.


    Rachel stared at Keh’s wide back and could not help but put her arms around his waist.


    Yet her hands were pushed away gently at the next moment and he even moved a bit further from her


    as if indicating an urge to keep a distance.


    Rachel felt even bitterer with his actions.


    He had banged her hard continuouslyst night but why can’t she asked for just a single hug from him?


    Could it be there was nothing else left besides that piece of paper and his libido fulfillment?


    Rachel figured that she might want to divorce after settling her father’s matter.


    Four years were too long. She was exhausted and could not wait for it to end any longer.
