Untamed Charming Wife

Kayla opened the door and walked over to Oliver, peeking over his shoulder at his homework.

Oliver turned his head and complained bluntly, “I told you I’d finish this. You don’t need to watch me.”

Kayla retorted, “I know you think these practice problems are childish, but finishing your homework is the least respect you can show your teacher.”

Not wanting to discuss such a boring topic, Oliver changed the subject, “Are you moving tomorrow?”

“Yeah,” Kayla’s mood worsened at the mention of it, “No one around me is willing to help. Am I that much of a failure with people?”

“You are indeed unsuccessful with people,” Oliver said bluntly.

Kayla felt a stab in her heart. This kid’s words were too sharp!

However, Oliver added, “But, Dad and I can help you…”

Of course, he wasn’t helping Kayla specifically, but helping his dad, and incidentally, her!

“You?” Kayla looked at his small frame and suddenly laughed, “Forget it, you just stay home and play.”

“Hey, are you looking down on me?” Oliver was not having it, glaring at her with his round eyes.

Resisting the urge to pinch his cheeks, Kayla teased back with a smile, “Yeah, I’m looking down on you. What can you do about it?”

“… You stupid woman who only knows how to fight!” Oliver ignored her and turned back to his work.

Watching Oliver work at lightning speed, as if without any thought, Kayla raised an eyebrow and asked, “Writing so fast, you’re not guessing all the answers, are you?”

“You’re the one guessing! These elementary school problems don’t require thought!”

Kayla laughed, “Oh, right, el-e-men-ta-ry school!”

Oliver got even angrier at her teasing.

Kayla finally couldn’t resist pinching Oliver’s cheek lightly. “Don’t be mad. Your face puffs up like a bun when you’re mad.”

“…!” Oliver’s face turned red, both embarrassed and angry. “You’re the one like a bun!”

Kayla laughed happily and tried to pinch him again. “Little bun, let me pinch again.”

“No!” Oliver, red-faced, refused to let her touch him and quickly stood up to run out of the room.

Kayla grabbed him, “Be good, let me pinch… Oh, why is your face so soft!”

“Let go! You rough, stupid woman… Dad! Dad!”

“Don’t call for him. It won’t help.”

“I don’t want to… Dad…”

The noise from upstairs was loud enough to almost lift the roof, but Ethaniel remained calm downstairs, reading his documents. He even sipped his coffee slowly before continuing to make notes.

Poor Oliver had become Kayla’s new toy…

The next day, Kayla was still asleep when she heard knocking at the door.

She checked the time; it wasn’t even seven o’clock. Who could it be so early…

After quickly tidying herself up, she opened the door and was stunned. “Why are you all here?”

Standing outside were not only Mick and Viola but nearly the entire Serious Crimes Unit. They all smiled at Kayla, “Good morning, Kayla. We’re here to help you move.”

“Huh?” Kayla was baffled. What was going on?

Viola rolled her eyes at her. “Don’t you get it? Moving. Stop wasting time. I have things to do this afternoon.”

“But…”

Viola was the first to enter the house, and the rest followed, starting to move things.

“Weren’t you not coming?” Kayla asked Mick, confused by his sudden change of mind.

“I didn’t want to, but a certain big shot disagreed,” Mick frowned at Kayla. “Why are you moving to RosenBay anyway?”

Kayla felt this wasn’t something she needed to hide, so she explained clearly, “My mom was kidnapped a few days ago. I don’t feel safe staying here anymore. Ethaniel found me a very secure place to move to temporarily.”

“Kidnapped?” Mick, who had been unhappy, was shocked. “Who kidnapped your mom? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Kayla lowered her head and said softly, “It’s my private issue. I didn’t want to bother the department.”

Mick looked at her. Kayla wasn’t someone who liked to hide things, except when it came to the Green Family. It almost certainly involved the Green Family.

If that’s the reason she’s moving to RosenBay, he could accept it…

“Captain, what are you thinking?” Kayla asked, seeing Mick in a daze.

Mick snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head, “Nothing, let’s get to work.”

With that, he joined in to help.

After moving, Kayla started arranging for Essem’s treatment.

Not far away was the most famous hospital in Seatowne. Kayla found a mental health specialist who believed there was a good chance of curing Essem, but it required consistent treatment.

Knowing her mother had a chance to recover, Kayla finally felt relieved.

The expert group suggested a fully enclosed treatment for Essem, recommending Kayla to hospitalize her mother for observation and then create a treatment plan.

Though the hospital’s fees were exorbitant, Kayla agreed. Ethaniel had said she could use the black card he gave her anytime, and the bill would be settled with her salary card.

With the new home and her mother’s treatment underway, Kayla felt like she was reborn.

The once gloomy life was far behind. She had Ethaniel, Oliver, her mother, Viola, and many people who cared about her.

She was very fortunate…

However, while on a routine patrol one day, she encountered a street robbery!

It had been a long time since she’d seen such daring fools in her territory!

Using her brutal methods, Kayla beat the gang of robbers and handed them over to the nearby patrol officers.

Seeing the frightened victim hiding behind a tree, Kayla handed over the expensive wallet, “Hey, is this your wallet?”

The person, who had been crying softly, froze at her voice. Then, a pair of beautiful eyes widened. “Kayla!”

“… Clifton?” Kayla was also stunned.

“Kayla, Kayla!” Clifton stood up, crying and ran directly into Kayla’s arms, stammering, “Kayla, Kayla… I’m scared… I was so scared… I don’t know them…”

Kayla was quite adept at handling people in this state of confusion, coaxed Clifton into the police car and handed him a tissue. “Don’t cry. Anyone would be scared in a robbery.” But Kayla was curious about something else. “Why are you here alone?”

The Caden Family protected Clifton so well. How could he suddenly appear here and encounter a robbery?

“I wanted to get out… I don’t want to stay at home…” Clifton started to cry again.
