A Husband For Killer Mom

64 Ch. 64 Same Weakness

“Calydta, take the little princess back to her room.”

“Yes, sir.”

Calydta, the head maid, has worked in this palace for most of her life. And now, she has been assigned to serve Lori. During these two days, the two became close. Calydta’s patience and caring demeanor and Lori’s cheerful and fun conduct made the two relationships close quickly.

Lori made numerous fun new friends in just a short time. Of course, the friends in question were the maids and palace guards, but they were all lovely friends to Lori.

On the contrary, Anxia didn’t make a single acquittance since she created chaos on the first day. The maids and others disliked her unreasonable actions and viewed her as an evil mistress.

Lori still wanted to finish her meal with her parents. But since she understood her parents needed some private time to talk, Lori didn’t argue and obediently let Calydta pick her up and carry her food.

She didn’t understand why her father looked angry when her mother handed her the knife. But she knew her father didn’t like seeing her holding a knife, yet he didn’t understand why.

Unknowingly, the image of her mother playing with knives kept replaying in her mind. Later, when her father’s anger subsided, she would try to persuade her father to let her play with knives.

Meanwhile, in the dining hall, Richard looked at Anxia with a probing gaze. Even though his face was expressionless, Richard was trying to contain his anger.

.....

He didn’t mind if Anxia wanted to hurt him. Neither did he care if his wife gave a tantrum and destroyed valuables in this palace.

But he couldn’t accept that she brought danger to their daughter.

His heart almost stopped when he saw Anxia push the sharp knife at their daughter without hesitation. With just one touch, an adult’s skin would be torn, and blood would ooze out, let alone a baby’s soft and smooth skin.

He had never really heard little Lori cry because she rarely fussed. Richard was a little curious as to whether there were things that could make his daughter cry, but he had no intention of finding out or causing her to cry.

Now his wife gave Lori a knife that could injure her daughter? There’s no guarantee that Lori wouldn’t cry when she felt the pain from the scratches on her hands. That was why Richard was furious and could not tolerate his wife’s behavior.

While Richard was still calming himself down, Anxia started feeling restless in her seat.

Why did Richard say nothing? Why did the man give no reaction? She was sure Richard was angry that she had put Lori’s life in danger, but she had no idea that Richard would be so quiet.

Everything would have been easier if he had been mad at her. It was a basic rule that someone would make rash decisions when anger or hatred blinded him.

Richard once managed to make Anxia unable to think clearly and make rash decisions by accepting a sly marriage offer from that man. Anxia planned to use the same method to get the man to decide to kick her out.

But now, Anxia didn’t know what to do if the man became silent and stared at her probingly. She was worried if she made a slight wrong move to make him suspicious, her plans would be futile.

In the end, Anxia decided to keep quiet. So did Richard.

After a few moments of silence, Richard began to roll his brain. He recalled one by one what his wife had done since he gave her the paper containing the brief but dangerous threat from Master Yu.

The contents of the message indicated that Master Yu had captured Ling Meng and tortured her to reveal Anxia’s whereabouts and the reason Anxia left her four years ago.

Master Yu told Anxia to meet him alone at the appointed time and at a place neither Richard nor Anxia had visited.

He knew that if he had told Anxia straight away that Ling Meng’s life was in danger, she would have gone directly to save her friend. Judging from Master Yu’s character and way of hunting down people, Richard was sure that even Anxia would not be able to escape that person’s clutch and would be tortured to death.

How could he let her?

That was why he had deliberately brought Anxia to this place so that Master Yu couldn’t find them and Anxia wouldn’t be able to go that person either.

Nevertheless, he didn’t plan to hide Ling Meng’s matter from his wife because telling her was one of the plans to win her over.

So, he deliberately only gave the contents of the dangerous message when they arrived at this place. As expected, Qiao Anxia did everything she could to get him to bring Anxia back to Holland.

Starting from the actions that wanted to kill him but failed and instead got a punishment that the girl could never forget. Then make a fuss with the servants to smash the valuable treasures in this place.

Well, the antiques indeed belonged to him, but at the same time, they did not. At least it didn’t belong to his parents either, so he didn’t feel the least bit guilty about letting Anxia break all those expensive things.

In fact, he had ordered antiques to be delivered the next morning to accompany his wife’s frustration with his own money.

But, it seems his wife was bored and switched to other plans. And that other plan was... to use Lori.

After all, Richard would never allow anything to hurt his daughter, even though it was only a strand of hair. He was sure that Anxia knew it too.

Anxia knew Richard would never let anything hurt Lori, so the girl dared to present the sharp, dangerous-to-kid object to Lori because she was sure that Richard would stop her.

When he realized this possibility, Richard relaxed his tense muscles.

Ah, his wife was quick-witted by using Lori to provoke him. Now they both know each other’s weaknesses. Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, realizing that Anxia had recognized his weakness.
