My Wife Is A Gift From Heaven novel Chapter 3

After the rain last night, the air was fresher than ever.

The dark clouds finally cleared out, giving out a mix of colors of bright blue and yellow. The wind blew, its gentle breeze moving the leaves that had fell from last night.

Admiring the view, Lena sat in the balcony with earphones on hand, enjoying the serenity of the moment.

Outside the green grasses, a graceful lady entered with a wide smile. Her posture was slender and thin like a tall willow.

A handsome man sat adjacent towards her. From the way they laughed and looked at one another, one could really feel the love that radiated from them.

They must've known each other for a very long time.

"Sorry, have you waited long?" The woman had a soft voice, like one of those violins you'd hear at the orchestra. There was something so enchanting about her face that one couldn't simply look away.

Lena narrowed her eyes at the view below her, only to freeze at the sight of Cliff with another girl.

'Who is she?

Why is she with Cliff?'

She peered closer. There was so much gentleness in Cliff's gaze towards the woman, and from the way they moved closer to one another, they were already very comfortable with each other's presence.

Lena staggered up, moving down the steps. She needed to find out who the girl was!

Once she reached the first floor, she was already panting. Not being able to recover much from the rain yesterday, her condition was still weak. She leaned over the doorframe, coughing heavily.

Her face flushed red from the adrenaline that pumped in her chest as she rushed down the steps.

Upon hearing the abrupt noise, Cliff turned around, rushing over to Lena's weak body. He patted her shoulder and asked the servants to fetch some hot water for her.

Sadness flashed in the unknown woman's eyes as she moved towards them.

"Cliff," she exclaimed, plastering a smile on her face. "Is this the woman you've been talking about?

It's just like you said. She's truly very delicate.

Nice to meet you, Lena. I'm Sherry, Cliff's friend.

I've known him since we were in primary, even went to the same schools together till college. In fact, we've been studying abroad. He'd been taking care of me this whole time."

Sherry Mu laughed lightly, beaming at her. She had heard of Lena, obviously. The name could barely stray from any conversation she had with Cliff. Every single time, he always found a way to bring her up.

Lena smiled gently.

In a few seconds, she managed to control her coughing spree, wiping her red rimmed eyes.

"I'm Lena. It's nice to meet you." From the way Sherry Mu had placed it, it seemed she had a stronger relationship with Cliff,

but so what?

Could it be deeper than the ties she and Cliff shared?

Ever since she learned how to walk, Lena had already grown up in the Huo Family. Apart from coming back home every New Year, she always had a room here the Huo Family prepared for her.

However, no matter how sensitive Lena was with these things, she couldn't sense any malice from Sherry's voice. It was just a matter-of-fact one from her.

So what did this woman want from her?

Lena still didn't know.

"Sherry," Cliff warned and Sherry's heart skipped a beat, bitterness pooling over her.

So just like that, he'd take her side?

Why?

Wasn't she good enough?

Wasn't she prettier than Lena?

She was talented, well-educated, rich, and had a pretty stable job. It seemed she should be much superior than Lena.
