Untamed Charming Wife

“How much longer are you going to hang around here?” Viola glared at Kayla while turning the tofu in the pot with chopsticks.

Kayla lay slumped over the table at the street food stall, playing dead, her lively eyes staring blankly at the ground without focus.

Viola kicked the chair Kayla was sitting on, “Stop playing dead and get up to help!”

Kayla wobbled to her feet, her mind so blank she had no idea what she was doing. Her attempts to help only made a mess of the business.

“… Kayla!” Viola was furious, dragging her to the side, “Are you trying to ruin the reputation I’ve worked so hard to build?”

Kayla kept her head down, saying nothing. She had the right to remain silent!

“Just stay over there and wait for me to deal with you when I’m done!”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Kayla went back to lying on the table, playing dead. Viola frowned, scooped a few pieces of tofu from the pot, and placed them heavily on the table. “If you’re going to die, at least eat first.”

Kayla really loved Viola’s fried tofu.

No matter how sad she was, the aroma of the fried tofu made her head perk up. She mechanically grabbed the tofu and stuffed it into her mouth.

When Viola finished her work, she turned back and looked coldly at the dazed Kayla. “What happened? What’s wrong with you?”

“…” Kayla slowly turned to look at Viola’s beautiful face, blinking her sore eyes. After a moment, she finally spoke timidly, “I pushed Ethaniel away today…”

“Ha! That was the right thing to do!” Viola snorted. “So, do you regret it?”

Kayla shrank back and mumbled, “Even if there’s a tiny bit of regret, I would still make the same choice…”

“That’s true,” Viola nodded, “You and Ethaniel are too different. Getting entangled with him wouldn’t do you any good.”

“… Right,” Kayla managed a weak smile, “So I resolutely cut ties with him. But, Viola, my heart hurts.”

Viola looked at Kayla calmly. She had known her for many years and understood her well.

Kayla was very lonely.

She had no friends growing up, accompanied only by her deranged mother. Every step she took, every decision she made, wasn’t for herself.

Rejecting Ethaniel was probably the first decision she made for herself.

However, this first choice was so difficult. Facing a man as exceptional as Ethaniel, how many women could easily refuse?

Viola sighed softly, “I understand… It will get better over time. Time will help you forget many things. You’ve known Ethaniel for less than seven days, so spend twenty-seven or thirty-seven days forgetting him. It will work.”

Kayla stared quietly into the distance, answering softly, “… Okay.”

After that day, Kayla didn’t go to Ethaniel’s house anymore. She stopped picking up and dropping off him and his son and didn’t even need to go to the convention center.

Because she had been transferred.

From the Major Crimes Unit to the Anti-Prostitution Unit.

The transfer order came suddenly, and when Viola found out, she cursed Ethaniel for half an hour, convinced that the transfer was his doing.

However, Mick was surprised that the hot-tempered Kayla accepted the transfer without much resistance.

To her, it didn’t matter whether it was the Anti-Prostitution Unit or the Major Crimes Unit. She was still a police officer. As for Ethaniel… like Viola said, she would forget him in time.

…

The villa in RosenBay had been quiet for many days. The usually silent Oliver knocked on Ethaniel’s study door that day.

Ethaniel was looking down at a report, his expression cold and serious, just like he was back in Tandoria.

Oliver called softly, “Daddy.”

“Hmm?” Ethaniel raised his eyebrows, looking up at Oliver.

Oliver hesitated for a moment and then said quietly, “I haven’t seen Kayla in a long time…”

“… Hmm.” Ethaniel lowered his eyelashes, his tone indifferent as if discussing something unrelated.

Oliver had always both respected and feared Ethaniel. Normally, he wouldn’t have asked further.

But this time was different.

“Daddy, did you have a fight with her?” Oliver, knowing that the foolish woman wouldn’t please his daddy, still decided to ask clearly.

Ethaniel replied coldly, “Don’t mention her again.”

Oliver felt a blockage in his heart, lowering his head and obediently replying, “… Okay.”

He knew very well that his daddy’s words meant Kayla would never appear in front of him again.

…

Q: What’s the biggest difference between the Major Crimes Unit and the Anti-Prostitution Unit?

A: One works during the day, the other stakes out at night.

Since being transferred to the Anti-Prostitution Unit, Kayla had basically become a night owl.

Although she was removed from her position as Deputy Leader of the Major Crimes Unit, Kayla remained very dedicated to her work!

Not only did she meet half a year’s quota in just a week, but she also showed a rising trend.

This made the leader of the Anti-Prostitution Unit quite troubled. If this continued, the Northern District would soon be known as the Anti-Prostitution Zone.

Kayla didn’t care what her leader thought. According to her plan, she took her subordinates to conduct a surprise inspection at the largest nightclub in the Northern District of Seatowne tonight.
