Chapter 108 - Why would she doubt him? (1/2)
People could cheat on their girlfriends, but Tyler had proven himself trustworthy. Why would she doubt him?
Although she trusted him whole heartedly, what Wan Jia said earlier struck a chord in her mind. She really had not met any of his friends. Even if he was so secretive, he should at least have a few friends who, like her, don't know his identity, right?
Hence that night, as she lay her head on his chest, she casually asked. ”Why is it that I haven't ever met any of your friends?”
”You want to meet them?” He asked.
”It's just normal for me to get to know my man's circle of friends, don't you think? Unless my existence is a secret and...” they know you have someone else.
He pinched her ear lightly. ”What nonesense are you thinking? Of course you're my only woman. I don't have any close friends I trust so....” He paused as though there was something else he was hesitating to say.
Yun Xuan completed the puzzle. ”The ones you have think your wife is Ruolin?” She remembered he had mentioned that the agency wanted them to pretend to be a couple. So to make his life seem normal to the people he hang out with, he introduced his 'wife' to them?
”Darling, in case someone wanted to look me up, they have to see that I have a complete lifestyle with friends and family. But that's not the main issue.”
Of course she understood the first part. It was just as she thought. ”If that's not the issue then what is?”
”There is something I didn't tell you before....it's not that I didn't trust you, but I've been trained not to let my guard down.”
Many men in his profession had gone down as a result of tricks of seduction. Women were their most feared species, he just had to be extra careful. But since Yun Xuan was already his woman and loved him so much, there was nothing wrong with coming out clean.
”What is it? Wait wait, if it's something too shocking...could you phrase it in a not so shocking way?” her emotions were too unstable lately and she could not handle too much shock.
”It may be quite shocking...” he hesitated.
”Just say it. If you're not coming out of the closet then it should be fine.”
”Who's coming out of the closet? I had a girlfriend before you.”
”Only that?”
”We have a five year old son together.”
”Oh, so what's the shocking thing you wanted to say?”
Tyler shot her a puzzled look. ”You're not shocked?”
So the shocking thing was the news that he has a son. But he was already thirty two. It would in fact be even weirder if he had never been with a girl before her.
