[BOOK 1] The Typhoon's Wife

Chapter 145 - House Husband

After sending off Alicia,the father and son duo went to Ru's school to have a look around.Once Ru was satisfitied that the school had the requisite play area,they made their way towards the house.On the way,they went grocery shopping and even bought some flower seeds to plant.Ryu knew Alicia liked flowers so Ryu had made the landscape designer add many flowers in the garden.But a portion of the garden had been left bȧrė for his wife amd son.
O

nce home,Ru ran into his room to get his drawing book and colors.He was going to draw her a card for good luck.That place where his mommy went looked scary.He had seen his mother go inside the big black gate.All the people coming out had been sour faced.How was his poor mother going to go there everyday!He was tempted to call her back immediately.Plus as if it was not enough that his mother had chosen this university,those people had the audacity to test his mother!As if she could ever fail.With all these thoughts in his head,Ru Long went into the kitchen where his father was putting away groceries and set himself there.

Seeing his son busy himself,Ryu prepared the lunch and keeping it on simmer to cook,took his ŀȧptop and went to work.The father and son worked side by side.Ryu downloaded the information that the investigator had sent and after studying it,there was a complicated expression on his face.His suspicions had finally been confirmed.Taking a deep breath he emailed the investigator to stop digging into history and work on finding the present plans of Mr X.The links were now completed as far as Ryu was concerned.

Next he got to reading Assistant Yang's report.Looking at the time,Yang must be preparing to go to the meeting now.He shot a series of orderes and statements for Yang,his fingers flying on the keyboard.Once his orders were complete and he had received the confirmation,Ryu made a phone call.Once the phone was connected he asked,"Has he chosen yet?"A negative answer."Then who has he contacted?" Both was the answer he got.Nodding his head,eyes narrowed in thought,Ryu was lost in thought.Disconnecting the call,he made another one.This time the call was answered by a cheery "Hello". Returning the greeting,Ryu said a cryptic statement,"the ball is in your court now!You know what to do.""Yup..Everything is going according to the plan." was the answer and the phone was again disconnected.After a minute of contemplation,Ryu again made a call.

This time the ring tone was long and Ryu had to wait a longer time for the call to be answered.A whispery voice greeted in a traditional greeting.Greeting the caller politely,Ryu answered,Ryu spoke,"Madam I have finally found your son,Wang Wei.Your long wait is about to come to an end."Disonnecting yet again,this time to the sound of profuse thank yous and tears,Ryu Long opened an encrypted folder on his phone,wrote an emailattached a few pictures and and sent it to the email address that he knew belonged to Wang Wei.

Done with his work for now,Ryu Long got back to his cooking.Alicia came back home to the domestic scene of her husband grilling fishes.Ru,as always rushed to her and gave her the pretty card he had prepared.Thanking her baby,she talked to Ru while admiring the artwork and ignoring her hubby.Laying the table,Ryu called the duo for lunch.In a snit over the protein bar fiasco,he was still being ignored by his missus.Seeing the table filled with black bean noodles,grilled fish and prawns and lemon rice and chicken stew,Alicia felt her mouth water.Her hubby definitely knew how to cook!Taking pŀėȧsurė in the tempting food Alicia ate until her belly was full while Ryu kept adding meat and vegetables to her and Ru's bowls.Calling a temporary truce,Alicia told Ryu all about her day and the requirements at University.With her stomach full,Alicia slumped on her chair and did not even have the strength to beg her husband to allow her a dessert.As she was about to get up lethargically,a small macaroon was presented in front of her.Glowing and her mouth watering at the sight of her dessert,Alicia looked at her hubby and quickly ate it up without thanking him.She had forgotten all about her belly being too full.Once the dessert was in her stomach,she looked at Ryu with her adoring eyes and smacked a kiss on his lips.Quickly stealing the opportnity,Ryu deepened the kiss but only for a minute.After all a small light bulb was present here...

A sudden ring on the doorbell brought a frown on Alicia's forehead.A teenager was led in by Ry who had gone to answer the door.Introducing the woman as Tina,Ryu informed them that she was to be Ru's babysitter for when the both of them had to leave the house.Alicia spoke to Tina for a while and observed her interactions with Ru before she was ready to leave for the office.Still there was a frown on her face and she spoke to Ryu thoughtfully,"Are you sure this girl is trustworthy?Have you checked her credentials?"Ryu answered each of her questions patiently and even provided her access to the secret cameras he had installed at home as well as the guards placed around the house were made visible to her.On reaching the office,Ryu said,"You have three hours to meet everyone.They have been informed of your arrival..I am going to meet an old friend and then we will go back together."Laying a small but reassuring kiss on her lips Ryu gently pushed the nervous looking Alicia out of the door.
