It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 1802 There Was Louisa Again (Part Two)



Since he had given his promise to her, he would always act with fealty, and love her till death.

"Okay, I will forgive you since you apologized so sincerely. Try the Pu'er tea I just made and tell me if you like it."

Unlike many other women who tended to take certain things too seriously, Daisy was a woman who knew where to stop. She would not sulk, or make things too difficult for Edward.

"Thank you for your benevolence,"

Edward said with a playful half-bow. Then he took a sip from the dainty tea cup and savored the delicately flavored brew.

Truthfully, life was, just like the tea ceremony, an order of priorities. When making the tea, we had to consider the amount of leaves, and more importantly, the water temperature and tools to make the tea. Likewise, in our life, we needed to manage good interpersonal skills. And more importantly, we needed to learn about forgiveness and gratitude.

On most days, Leena was an exemplary wife and mother, but at times she withdrew into her solitude, just like today.

She didn't want to do anything, except for reclining on the sofa, staring blankly through the window.

"Mom, you have been lying there for almost three hours. Could you please make me some food? I am starving!" Richard finally interrupted her reverie, and reached out his hand, trying to pull her up.

"Go ask the housekeeper to make you some food. I don't want to serve anyone today."

Leena still rested motionlessly on the sofa, gazing at the breathtaking sunset framed in the panoramic window.

"But Mom, I don't come home every day, and now that I am here, you just ignore me. You can't treat me like this!"

Richard sat beside her and studied her with some concern. 'Did she quarrel with my father? Or, is she perhaps ill?' Richard wondered.

"How would you like me to treat you? Do you want me to worship you, like the Bodhisattva?"

Leena turned her head to him and fixed a cold eye on him. Then she resumed her observation of the scenery beyond the window.

"No, of course not like that. I was just hoping that you could make some delicious food for me."

Richard managed to crack a smile, trying to make her happy. He blamed all this on Kevin. It must be him who had annoyed his dear mother, and that was why she was so unhappy and so indifferent to him.

"I don't want to move,"

Leena said shortly, not wanting to waste any words on an explanation.

"Okay, fine. I will eat out in the city then,"

Richard said and stood up. With his Dragblac Card, he could dine at any of the nicest restaurants in the city.

"Wait, take me with you."

Leena suddenly came alive. She straightened up immediately, no longer as lazy as she had been only seconds

before.

"Oh! But didn't you just say that you didn't want to move?"

Richard looked at her doubtfully, concerned by her sudden excited mood.

"Cut the crap. There is delicious food waiting for me, and any one would move for food.

Wait a moment, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes,"

Leena said, darting towards the upper floor. But after a few steps she suddenly stopped," Don't leave without me, understand?"

"Mom, are you sure you really want to go with me? What about dad when he comes home?"

Richard looked at her helplessly. It seemed that her mind was made up and she would follow him today.

"He can mind his own business, why should I care?"

Leena snapped and trotted towards the stairs. She really was in a foul mood today.

"They must have had one hell of a fight,"

Richard mumbled. He just knew it!

His mother had always been vigorous, and her sudden low spirits worried him today.

He was certain that it was all Commander Gu's fault.

It was still early, so they didn't go straight to the restaurant. First, they went to the supermarket and bought some snacks and other daily necessities. Richard could carry the heavy groceries, so Leena didn't have to concern herself about buying only what she could carry.

"Hey, Mom, are you really not planning on calling Commander Gu?"

Richard followed her like a submissive child, sensing that the crisis had not been averted yet.

"No. But if you want to call him, please, go ahead."

'Why should I call him first?' She brooded.

She was always the one who caved in first, but this time, she would not be that stupid again.

"Come on, I'm not crazy. I am surely looking for a reprimand, if I call him right now."

She was the one who had issues with his father. If she didn't call, then neither would he. He would not get himself involved and court trouble.

"You are indeed crazy. I suggested that you should go study overseas, but you insisted on attending the military school. I will wait and see if you can find a wife in the future." Leena grew angry at herself for mentioning this. It was a sore point to her.

"It won't be a problem for me. Your son is most handsome and smart. You don't have to worry that girls won't like me."

Richard had truthfully, never worried

about this. He was very confident in

himself. Moreover, his father was good example, because he had easily found a beautiful wife, who later became Richard's mother.

QUMS

"Do you think that the girls of today are still as silly as your mother was?"

Leena was clearly disquieted today, otherwise she wouldn't be so cynical.

"There may be exceptions. Nothing is impossible. Probably those one or two exceptions may happen to like me."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Richard was quite optimistic. He had never considered his marriage would be a tough task in life.

Leena smiled with genuine admiration of his carefree life-view. His calming attitude meant that he and Leena were more like friends than mother and son, and his sanguine attitude lifted her from despair.

"Then good luck!"

Soon, they teased each other and

laughed happily while buying the groceries. It was a harmonious scene. Many people who saw them mistook them as a couple, not mother and son, due to Leena's glowing skin. She always retained her youthful appearance due to her careful beauty routines.

"Leena, it really is you! What a surprise!"

Louisa cried out. She was pushing a shopping cart. A teenage girl of around 13 or 14 years old stood beside her. The girl could barely cover her surprise at noticing Leena who was so young and beautiful. "Miss Ye, it's you! It has been a long time since I saw you last."

Leena held back her smile and examined Louisa carefully. She looked more haggardly than before. Obvious she had suffered a hard life.

"And who is this?"☐☐☐☐
