Ch. 104 Anxia's Promise

"I didn't expect her to tell you, to be honest. The client's request shouldn't be leaked to strangers."

Anxia chuckled, hearing her husband's complaint as if he was disappointed with how Cerberus was working.

"Meng Meng and I are not strangers. She told me that she had decided to join them. I think she wanted to cheer me up by giving me this gift. You don't need to be pouting like this." Anxia pinched her husband's cheek playfully.

"Ah, Xia Xia. If I had known you were being this sweet just because I decided to save your friend, I would have told you earlier."

Anxia frowned as she remembered Richard had deliberately hidden this critical fact. "Why did you hide it from me? You didn't even tell me you were looking for my mother."

"Because you didn't ask." was his straightforward answer.
