Chapter 177: Tailing
Yera coughed hearing her husband’s jokes. She looked at her aunt who obviously forced a smile out of her prim and proper personality. But Yera knew her aunt did not seem to be pleased even a bit with Xander’s joke. But thankfully that made her aunt Juliet stop giving her too much attention.
During the opera she could feel a pair of eyes constantly digging into her, when she looked around to confirm her suspicion true enough it seemed that her aunt Juliet was sneaking glances in their area often as their eyes occasionally met.
"She’s curious about you I think. Oh haven’t I told you that she tried to set me up on a blind date with her daughter..." Xander whispered in her ear. Yera flinched because Xander bit her earlobe, sending chills running down her body.
She creased her forehead and said in a raspy voice, "I did hear about it. To be honest, I strongly objected to that idea because you were so well known as a womanizer then that I didn’t want her to be wronged. Though I don’t have a good relationship with Jam, I did care for her."
Xander gulped and countered, "I told you..."
"Shhh darling. Let’s talk about it later." Yera interrupted because her husband was distracting her concentration on the show by trying to be flirty. He held and caressed her hand then would write something on her palm with his fingers. If her guess was right, he wrote ’I miss you’ and ’I love you’.
She chuckled silently because her dear husband looked so bored that he would rest his head on her shoulder to nap but she would intentionally shake her shoulder whenever to wake him up.
"This is not our bedroom and definitely not a place to sleep..." she murmured, scolding her husband for sneaking a sleep.
The show ended well and the performers gained a standing ovation from the audience. Yera did enjoy the opera too and she had a pleasant conversation about it with her father-in-law.
"I can see that you might finally get a daughter-in-law after a long line up to select by your son." Yera’s uncle commented in a jest as he walked past them. Senior Yang laughed but did not say a word and just exchanged a farewell nod with Yera’s uncle Roy. Yera nodded too and gave them a cheerful smile including her eyes.
"You look somewhat familiar," her uncle Juliet commented. "I doubt it Madam Go because my girlfriend’s eyes are very unique and the prettiest among all." Xander commented followed by a loving touch on Yera’s cheek. Madame Juliet Go stared at Yera closely but Xander covered her and mumbled, "Darling, let’s remove the mask and let me kiss you."
