Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1803

Louisa's eyes rested on Richard. The young man and Kevin were so much alike!

"Oh, this is my son. Richard, say hello to Aunt Louisa," Leena said gently. If it was fate that they met again, she didn't want to dwell on the old unpleasant things that happened between them in the past.

"Hello, Aunt Louisa!" Richard said politely, but frowned at this woman whom he didn't know.

"Oh! Hi! You resemble your father so much!" Louisa sighed sadly. She thought that she had forgotten Kevin. But when faced with anything connected to him, the blurred memories deep inside her suddenly became clear and brought fresh pain.

"Does Aunt Louisa know my father?" Richard looked at her doubtfully. He felt that the way she looked at him was a little strange and discomforting.

"Miss Ye, is this your daughter?"

Upon hearing Richard's question, Leena immediately steered the conversation away from the topic. She feared that Louisa would say something that should stay in their past.

"Oh! Yes. Connie, say hello to Aunt Leena and Richard," Louisa ordered harshly, as she suddenly remembered her daughter next to her. She didn't seem like a kind mother.

"Hi, Aunt Leena! Hi, Richard! Nice to meet you!" The girl greeted timidly, with lowered eyes. Then she shuffled back a few steps to stand behind her mother.

"Hi, nice to meet you too. What a nice girl!" Leena smiled gracefully. She noticed that the girl didn't take much after her mother, probably she inherited her appearance more from her father.

She absently wondered what kind of man Louisa had married.

"You haven't changed much."

Louisa felt a little upset. It seemed that Leena had been well cared for, and she still looked very young, just like a girl. Looking at herself, Louisa considered that she was getting old and had already lost her youthful looks.

"You're flattering me. I'm already the mother of a teenage boy. I'm becoming old." Leena laughed lightly. It was the truth, but Louisa didn't think so. She felt that there was an ulterior motive behind her words, and that Leena had said this intentionally to insult her.

"Leena, I don't need you to remind me that I am lowly compared to you. So, if you just want to make fun of me, go ahead!"

Louisa was several years older than Leena, and clearly she had endured a hard life. Truthfully, it was normal for her appearance to be older than Leena's.

"I didn't mean that. Miss Ye, I think you misunderstood me."

Leena furrowed her eyebrows. 'Does Louisa still hold a grudge against me?' She wondered.

"You are clear, whether I have mistaken your words or not. Connie, let's go!"

Louisa glared at Leena indignantly, and then hurriedly pushed the shopping cart down the aisle.

The teenage girl turned to them with an embarrassed smile just before the pair disappeared down the next lane.

She seemed very sorry for the altercation. Although Louisa was not a nice woman, her daughter seemed well educated and had an agreeable manner.

"Mom, who is she? She was so strange and very rude. And why were you so polite to her?" Richard asked angrily. The incident with this strange, and obviously crazy woman had ruined their good mood in shopping. What an unlucky day this was becoming!

"It doesn't matter. She is probably in a bad mood today." Leena shrugged. She didn't want to tell her son the old resentful stories of her foregone youth.

"Yes, you're right. She must have had a row with her husband, just like y - " Richard flinched as the words slipped out, but before he could finish, a heavy blow clouted his head.
