Chapter 1623 First-month Celebration For Luke's Baby (Part Two)
"Well, I don't know, either. At least not yet." Not knowing the baby's gender might not be a bad thing. Leena did not ask the doctor about it either. It was a blessing from God, whether it was going to be a boy or a girl.
"What's up, you guys? It looks like you are getting along quite well today." Michelle was not as slim as before. After she gave birth, she had become more calm and mature, as could be told from the gentle expression on her face. She had become a mother. For those who knew nothing about her past, it would be hard to believe she used to lead a wild and carefree life. "Auntie Michelle, something must be wrong with your eyes. Me and her? Getting along well? That's not gonna happen. Ever." Justin wanted a female cousin.
"Oh? Really? So this is all a mistake then?" Michelle exchanged a look with Leena. She joined Leena in making fun of Justin, to Leena's delight.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Of course, it is. Me and her get along? We are just like the water and the fire which would never get along. Never, ever, ever. Auntie Michelle, you'd better keep close watch over your baby. Keep him away from someone with horrible intentions." Justin cast a sidelong look at Leena. Obviously, the someone he was referring to was Leena.
"You little brat. What did you just say? What the hell? Horrible intentions? Don't talk bad things like that about me again. I'm offering you a chance to take it back." Leena was sweet to most people. But things would always go differently when she was with Justin. If there was any possibility between them to stay in peace, planet Mars would collide with Earth.
"Listen, Auntie Michelle. You heard it. She is saying rude words. There's no way that she could say kind words to me. Oh, do you know that she has been doing prenatal education? I seriously doubt it, if the education would work. I'm so worried about my future cousin!" Justin said in a concerned tone as if he was helpless against his Auntie Leena.
"You'd better worry about yourself!" Leena retorted back in a seemingly angry tone and moved threateningly towards Justin.
"Uh-oh! She's pissed off. I'm not gonna talk with you anymore." Seeing Leena angry, Justin responded quickly and decided to run away. He would be a fool should he continue quarreling with her.
"Haha! Leena, there's no way you can win against that boy." Michelle burst into laughter. She was greatly amused by Justin's antics.
"Are you taking a kind of dark pleasure in it?" An evil smile cracked on Leena's face as she glanced at Michelle and pretended to roll her eyes.
"Oh, Owen might be hungry now. I should go check on him." Michelle stopped laughing immediately. But deep in her heart, she was still giggling.
"Come on! All of you make fun of me now that I'm so heavy with this extra human being in my belly," Leena pouted. She still looked cute even while carrying a baby.
"Hey, Leena. I heard you from a mile away. What's up? Who's making fun of you? Tell me. I'll go after him. No one messes with my Leena." Rain walked towards Leena leisurely.
"Hi Rain. Thank God, here you are, finally. Hey, I thought you were gonna stay at KD Group forever." Leena did not see him since the accident. Although he cared enough to call from time to time to check on her, seeing him in person was a totally different thing.
"Oh, no. That bitch! She has gathered investments from outside in the name of the company, and then used the money to invest in stocks. All those investors came to me directly. It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to deal with!" Rain frowned deeply upon talking about the business in KD Group. He had spent lots of time taking measures to turn the crisis around. Fortunately, he had many connections in FX International Group. Otherwise, he might have ended up as a big failure.
"How about now? Is everything okay? Are you able to fix it?" Leena did not know much about large conglomerate businesses. She could do nothing to help him except ask him questions so that he could at least vent a little. "Almost. Where is Edward? I haven't seen him." When Rain came in, Edward wasn't in sight.
"Oh! He is in the study. He is probably having a video conference with an overseas office." Edward was busy at work now. That was why she was so bored that she came here to play with Owen.
"Okay. I'll go to the study then. Oh, another thing. Michelle. Here you go. Here's my present for your baby. Congratulations!" Rain took out a red packet and put it on the baby's bed before Michelle said anything. Then he rushed upstairs as if running away from a pack of hunters.
"Why was he in such a rush? I wasn't gonna refuse his gift." Michelle could not help laughing. Luke had told her to accept all the gifts for their son and there was no need to decline. All of their friends were rich, anyway.
"Haha That's Rain. Probably there's something very important for him to discuss with Edward. That's why he left in such a hurry. Well good luck with that, if he could get Edward's attention." Leena shook her head slightly. She felt that Rain was acting a bit weird as well. "Never mind. Where is Patricia? She hasn't come yet, has she?" Michelle waited for Patricia for a long time. But she just did not show up yet.
"She's probably getting her baby ready! You know, a mother would have tons of things to prepare before she goes out with her child." Leena was learning what a mother had to do in different situations, thanks to Belinda. Spencer was more than one year-old now. But every time Belinda went out carrying Spencer, she had tons of things to prepare first.
"That makes sense. By the way, where is Belinda? I haven't see her either." Michelle agreed with Leena's possible explanation. She decided not to worry about Patricia.
"She is in the garden with Daisy. They seemed to have something important to talk about." That was probably why Spencer liked to cling to Justin. Their mothers always left them together.
"When will Kevin come back?" Michelle played and teased Owen while chattering with Leena. She did not have to go out to deal with the guests because her parents-in-law were the ones doing the entertaining.
"Not today. He called me last night and said that it would be another two days before he got back." Leena had already gotten used to this kind of life, being the wife of a military man. She had to be strong enough to endure the days of being apart from him. "Is he away to attend a meeting?" Daisy mentioned something about it to Michelle so she knew a bit.
"Yes. Nothing to worry about." Leena reached out and touched her belly gently. She did not feel like complaining. Instead, she tried to make the most of the moment and feel happy while waiting for Kevin to come back home. A reunion was always especially precious after being apart for a long time.
