My Cute Wife novel Chapter 3

Maybe Ryan wasn't that scary.

Maybe the people in that chat box were only overreacting to who Ryan really was. Mino turned on her laptop and typed it into the search bar. 'What if someone offended Ryan by accident?'

Shit! That was the last thing Mino thought of when she saw the screen.

"According to the browser's policies, searches that include blood and violence are automatically blocked. Shit," she murmured over and over again, running her hands down her hair. Then she just shut off her laptop with a loud bang.

She wasn't going to give up easily. Trying to sort out her thoughts, she pulled out her phone once again.

The next day, at the cafe.

"Mino, long time no see!" Cherry placed her limited edition handbag on the table for everyone to see.

Mino almost jumped at being called. These days, her nerves were a complete mess, especially after searching all those things on Ryan.

She had missed Cherry so much. Right now, she was her only hope. However, Cherry had other plans for the day. She held her friend's hands, smiling. "Want to go on another 'catch the adulterer' escapade with me?" she teased lightly.

As soon as Mino heard that, hot tears were already bursting from her eyes. When she raised her head, Cherry's eyes widened.

There were dark circles right below her eyes and her cheeks had tear splotches all over them. It felt as if she hadn't slept for days. If someone were to placed horns on top of her head, she might as well look like a monster out on a run.

"I'm in trouble." Mino hiccupped, trying to blink the tears away.

Cherry was one of the most popular girls living next door to the Xu Family during Mino's childhood years. Although they lost contact when the Mo Family moved out, they reignited their friendship when they found out they went to the same university.

Given that she was charming, Cherry jumped from various middle-aged men, making sure to get her money fix from them. Mino, being just a second year student, helped her in those times by catching them during their adulterous acts.

Now, Cherry was the best chance she got.

"What did you say?" Cherry blinked after being told what had happened. "You provoked Mr. Ryan?"

"Should I buy my own gravestone now?" Mino buried her head deep in her hands as she closed her eyes, trying to imagine what pit he'd throw her into once he was done.

"No, we're getting you a plane out of here." Without another thought, Cherry rummaged her phone from her LV bag before making a call.

"Hello? Get me the earliest ticket to America for my friend. Book a room at the Hilton Hotel for two weeks for her too."

"What? They're just too expensive, Cherry," Mino protested.

"I'll pay for it." Cherry hung up her phone with a shrug, waving her hand dismissively.

"Seriously, what's the point of all this money if I don't get to help you in times of need?"

If successful middle-aged men had seen this, they would have thought that their vindictive girlfriend would be surprisingly sweet and innocent.

Mino was deeply moved by her words, shaking her head. "But you said about catching your boyfrien–"

"Let him have it! I'll collect an even bigger fee by the time this is over anyway."

Cherry winked at her playfully before resorting back to the serious expression she was wearing. "As for your mother, I'll hide her to my villa first. If things get worse, then I'll wait till you get back to China. If you don't, I'll find another way to send her to America. Your father died early. I won't let that accident happen again."

"His death wasn't an accident," Mino interrupted coldly.

However, just as she said it, Mino couldn't help but feel guilty over her words. Cherry was already helping her through this, and this was how she'd thank her.

But ever since she'd remembered her father, cold and lifeless, Mino couldn't help but feel a sense of rage mulling her over like the tide calling for the seas.

She shook her head, ridding the thoughts from her mind.

"You're a savior, Cherry. Thank you," she said sincerely.

"Savior, huh? Oh shit! The old ladies!" Suddenly, Cherry's face changed.

Before Mino could register what was happening, Cherry shook of her grasp. "John's wife's coming with her friends. Help me stall."

"What?" Mino's eyes widened, not believing what she'd just said.

'John's wife?' Turned out, Cherry's boyfriend had a family now.

Right at that moment, Cherry had already taken her sunglasses and ran off, handbag in her hand.

Sitting upright, Mino could already feel her fingers shaking. This was worse than being hunted down by Ryan!

"I saw the bitch. She is here!"

Now, as the wife stepped nearer, Mino realized why John was suffering from impotence. It seemed as if the woman was holding the pants in the relationship.

"The girl must be associated with that slut!"

One of the women pointed at Mino.

Cherry, meanwhile, was making a gesture to Mino to help her. "Hold them back!

I can't deal with them."

She'd already promised to take care of her mother, so Mino just had to help her!
