"Well. Sometimes, I admire you a lot. You are very open-minded." In the past, Michelle did not know much about Leena. In her opinion, everyone liked Leena because of Duke. However, as time went by, Michelle gradually realized that it was too shallow for her to think like that. Leena deserved all the love that she got from her family and friends. She had her own personality and charm, which could not be measured or bought with money.
"Oh, don't. Maybe I am, but so are most people. It is very difficult to live life these days if you're not open minded." Most of the time, Leena did not struggle for something that didn't belong to her. She was optimistic that, what was meant for her would come to her when the right time came.
Leena had become another unique woman in Michelle's eyes. Just like Daisy, Michelle found Leena to be another inspiring woman. She had something that she did not have.
This party was held to celebrate Owen's first month of life. All the guests were mostly relatives and close friends. Everything went smoothly and everyone had a great time. Kevin was the only one missing as he was on a business trip.
Patricia arrived not long later. Somehow, Patricia felt that there was something wrong between her and Leena. They had not been as excited about each other as before. Their friendship seemed to begin to have a gap.
"Leena, how's everything going? Are you and your baby okay?" Patricia greeted Leena in an ordinary tone. However, in her mind, how she regretted saying those words to hurt Leena the other day. But there was no way to undo it.
"Yes. I'm good. No vomiting anymore. Hey, baby Eden, did you miss me?" Leena liked kids except for Justin. Probably because he was just too old for her to like. Plus the child always found a way to piss her off!
"Oh he missed you. But it is just exhausting to take care of him. He is just a handful!" Patricia did not realize how tiring it would be to raise a kid until she became a mother herself.
"That makes sense. Eden, you are so cute! You are going to grow up to be a handsome and charming man." Eden Qin had a small, round and fleshy face. He looked healthier and stronger than Spencer. His father was a doctor, after all. He was probably fed with a better and more balanced diet and his sleeping pattern must be perfect.
"Come on! Of course, he's going to be a super cool man. Like father, like son." Patricia couldn't help feeling helpless when she thought of the time when she shamelessly chased Tom.
"Good boy, you are going to be a handsome, charming and cool man." Should Leena not be pregnant, she would definitely hold this cute boy in her arms.
"Oh, no. Auntie Leena, are you having bad thoughts with that baby too?" Justin always chose a key time to appear. He must have gotten his mean tongue from his father, Edward.
"You have bad thoughts, not me! What? Could you leave us alone? We are very busy with these wonderful babies here that we love so much!" Everyone seemed to be showering love and affection on all the babies, except Justin.
"I'm not a baby. I don't need your love." Justin was taller than the time when he had just come back. It had been two years after all so he appeared more mature and more grown up.
