Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1608 Michelle's Delivery (Part Three)

"Well, it doesn't have to be just Michelle. This could be for you, too, right?" Cynthia turned to Daisy and

smiled. She really hoped that her daughter-in-law would consider having another baby with Edward.

"It's not that easy," Daisy stammered. The truth was that Edward had already gone through the male

sterilization procedure; through this, they would never have another offspring again.

"Why not? Justin looks like he really wants a younger sister. Isn't that right, Justin?" In the eyes of the

elders, it would be better to have both a daughter and a son than to just have a son. Cynthia in

particular was no exception to this stigma. She thought Daisy and Edward were still young that they

could still have another child.

"Uh... Mom, it's really not in my plans at the moment," Daisy explained to Cynthia with an awkward

smile etched on her face. They had not told Edward's parents about the sterilization, so she didn't know

how else to break it to her mother-in-law.

"It's just a suggestion. No pressure," Cynthia said with a pitiful frown. She prided herself with being the

considerate mother-in-law who used no force towards her daughters-in-law.

"Mommy, please have another baby. That way I wouldn't have to befriend Aunt Leena, the devil

herself." Justin held Daisy's arm to plead.

"You brat! Are you speaking ill of me?" Leena's voice came from outside the room. Justin turned his

head in shock and fear, seeing Kevin helping Leena into the room.

"No, I am not. You misheard me!" Justin immediately denied. 'Justin, you have to hold back your anger

for the sake of a baby girl. Do not anger the vessel! Otherwise, your plan will fail, ' Justin thought to

himself.

"Huh? Are you saying I'm deaf?" Leena gazed at Justin as if Justin were gazing at the abyss. 'This kid

really never stops talking behind my back, ' Leena thought.

"Come on, Nana! Don't get angry! You're carrying a child." Kevin consoled his wife and rubbed his

temples as a notion of resignation. Why did the odds lead to crossing paths with Justin all the time?

"Oops, I almost forgot. I can't argue with you now but I'll set you straight after giving birth, you hear

me?" Leena threatened Justin with her naturally arched brows.

"Mommy, listen to her!" Justin did not dare provoke Leena, so he had to turn to his mother for defense.

"Don't involve me! Sort it out yourselves." Daisy was not the kind of mother who spoiled her child by

solving every problem that came his way.

"Uncle Kevin!" Justin resorted to Kevin as his options were narrowing down to one. He hoped Kevin

would at least say something to defend him.

"Don't fret, Justin. She's just trying to scare you off." Kevin knew his wife well. He also knew that Leena

was just teasing Justin and that it was out of her plans to get Justin in trouble after the birth of her child.

"Why did you still come here? It's getting late. Why don't you come visit Michelle tomorrow?" Daisy

asked, worried for Leena. Leena's health had been plummeting to risky levels. Her poor health had

burdened her all these years. Tom even said that she had to pay closer attention to her health.

"She's eager to see the baby. So, I came with her. I wouldn't let her come alone," Kevin said with a

smile. Leena really wanted to see the baby, and Kevin was not about to turn her down.

"He looks cute! Congratulations, Michelle!" Leena exclaimed as she looked at the baby in Cynthia's

arms. She didn't think it was necessary for her husband to come and assist her and thought he was

overreacting about her condition. Her friends persuaded her to move to the villa and even arranged

several servants for her. She was going to refuse, but Kevin would be relieved that his wife was under

the servants' care. She then had to move to the villa and accepted the special accommodation granted

to her by the servants. After all, the Grand Apartment would be too small after she gave birth.

"Thank you, Leena. I'm also looking forward to meeting your baby." In Michelle's perception, Leena

looked soft but she was a strong woman. Leena had suffered a lot because of Kevin, but she never

gave up on him.

"So am I. I will give birth to a cute and healthy baby." Leena gave Michelle a sweet smile and swore

that she would protect herself and her baby at all times, under any circumstance.

However, she did not know what was about to come her way.

Sitting at a table by the window, Leena flashed a smile and asked, "Rain, why are you suddenly inviting

me to dinner?" She was wearing a maternity dress, but she did not look big at all.

"Well, I haven't seen you in a long time. How have you been?" Rain asked. He had been so busy with

the KD Group that he had no time to spare to catch up with anyone, including Leena. He really missed

her.

"Really? I thought you've forgotten about me. You've been so caught up in so many things recently. Did

the Ke family members offend you? Have they threatened you? It must be tough." Leena knew the

situation between Rain and the Ke family, so naturally, she was worried about the man.

"Don't worry, I'm alright. They can't do anything to me." The Ke family members perceived Rain as a

mere outsider. They would not allow Rain to take over the company and take their shares. No matter

what they did in the dark, Rain decided to turn a blind eye so that he would not get caught up in a

conflict with the family. He was temporarily overseeing the company, but he had no intention of taking it

for himself.

"You know you have to be careful, right? Edward has arranged several body guards to protect you, but

you still have to know how to protect yourself," said Leena. The Ke family was a big clan, but Rain had

never regarded them as his family. Leena felt bad for Rain and she didn't want him to fall under the

harm of the Ke family.

"Don't worry, I know how to protect myself. Hey, eat more." Rain added more food onto Leena's bowl.

He was very cold to others, but he had a soft spot for Leena.

"Rain! It's really you. What a coincidence! Who is this woman? Is she your girlfriend?" Tiana walked up

to them. She was wearing fashionable designer clothes and accessories, grabbing the attention of

everyone. However, as a designer herself, Leena did not appeal to her style. She just put on all the ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

elements together without thinking of the coordination, which made her look like a mess.

"We're having dinner. We don't need you here," Rain told off the lady coldly. He would get headaches

here and there because of that woman. He had asked her to delete his photos not long ago and he

hadn't seen her for a while until now. He did not expect to come across her and he had hoped not to

see her ever again as she was really irritating. Rain couldn't help but frown at the coincidence he was

faced with.
