Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1624 First-month Celebration For Luke's Baby (Part Three)

"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.

"I smell some jealousy in the air." Leena took a deep breath. She and Justin loved each other. Yet she

just would not let go of any chance to make fun of him and neither would Justin. That was the actual

way they got along.

"There must be something wrong with your nose. You're seeing things differently and that is causing

you to imagine things." Justin would be seven years old soon and he had become smarter than before.

He could easily understand a difficult concept with hidden meanings and came up with an excellent

response every time. This was in addition to his already very high IQ. He looked like a grown-up when

he stood and talked seriously. He was, without a doubt, an Edward junior.

"Really? I'm imagining things? Hey, kid, you know what? I feel that your mommy and daddy love

Spencer now." Leena raised her eyebrows to signal Justin to look to another direction where Daisy was

holding Spencer and Edward was jiggling him.

"Hmmp! You think that's going to work? Don't try to sow division between me and them. Daddy and

Mommy love me the most." Justin pursed his lips and told himself not to be jealous. Or he would be

walking into this lady's trap.

"Oh! Do they? I don't think so!" Leena said carefully while observing him. The truth was that she

overdid it and caused him trauma. Justin now had a haunting and crushing doubt about his parents'

love for him, "I'm not gonna talk to you anymore. I'll tell Uncle Kevin that you are bullying me again,"

Justin said in an angry tone and walked to Edward. He knew that his mommy and daddy would love

him the most. But somehow, he wanted to go over to them to make sure.

"Naughty and evil aunt." Tom came and saw what just happened.

"I didn't do anything, Tom. He made fun of me first," Leena explained in an innocent tone.

"You two naughty kids! You never get along in peace! Well, tell me... How's your diet going recently?

Do you eat as well as I told you?" Leena and Justin always quarreled. Everyone had already gotten

used to it.

"Yes. I'm fully aware of my nutrition. I am never picky about food. I even force myself to take that crap

tasting concoction of yours." She would do whatever it took to make sure that she gave birth to a

perfectly healthy baby.

"Good. Come to my office when you do your pre-natal check up a few days later. I need to give you a

bit more advice." Leena was in her second trimester now. There were notices and advice that he

needed to tell Leena. He just could not be more careful.

"Yes! I got it." Something just felt wrong. No matter how open-minded Leena was, and no matter how

hard she tried, she felt that she was unable to be so intimate with Tom like before. There was now this

invisible wall between them that could not be torn down.

She was not the only one having such a thought. At that same moment, Tom was equally frustrated

about it. He felt that Leena had become more distant in front of him. But there was nothing he could do

but let it be. It probably would not matter a lot, as long as she was fine. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

The summer came after the spring. The weather was getting hotter. Leena became more unwieldy as

the baby grew bigger in her belly. Kevin's worry increased as well.

"Nana, don't sit for too long when you are working on your drawing. You need to walk a bit to avoid

cramps." In the past, Kevin seldom called home. But recently, he made a call to Leena from time to

time. He was just too restless while he was away.
