Respect Is Earned

Even after the call ended, it took Shui Xian a moment to come back to himself. No matter how familiar he was with his wife's sharp eloquence, today seemed different. She actually got into an argument that was so not like her. 

He still remembered when he saw Raelle at the jewelry outlet, she didn't bother sparing a second glance to the one who tried to insult her. But now she actually shot back.

He walked over to the bed and laid down right beside her. Raelle extended his phone towards him saying, "Did you hear everything?"

"Almost," he replied without hesitation. He didn't think there was a need to lie about that. 

Raelle silently pondered over something before asking, "Do you think I said something wrong?" Shui Xian turned his head to look at her and she elaborated, "I told you I know my words tend to get hurtful. And I also know that since she is my husband's sister, I shouldn't have been harsh on her."
