On the other side in the old Tang mansion, Kathryn was on the phone patiently coaxing a certain angry "princess".
She couldn't understand why her son behaves the way he does !
'Does he find happiness in tormenting me? ' She felt her blood boil
"My dear, don't worry about anything, I will make this arrangement work. " Kathryn said over the phone
Louisa beamed with smiles, she knew it. 'Her mother in law will fulfill all of her wishes! '
"But mother, what if Emil doesn't listen to you? If he refuse you, then I will be the talk of gossip"
If playing innocent doesn't work, then one has to play the quilt trap !
"Emil will never disobey his very own mother " Kathryn stated without considering the word POSSIBILITY.
In this life, each and everyone has the right to make his own decisions. And sometimes our imposing attitudes make others go beyond their limit.
In as much as children has to obey and respect their parents, parents in the same way shouldn't provoke their children to go beyond their limit.
Kathryn in her haste to fulfill her promise and self interest, has forgotten about one basic rule.
'The rule of the Bible'. Parents shouldn't provoke their children.
"Then, I will wait for the good news mother " Louisa coquitishly said
Kathryn's heart melted when she heard the humble voice of her soon to be daughter in law
"Just be happy because the good news will come very soon. I've already made plans"
Yes, she has made plans. The date video will help her arrange the engagement ceremony very soon! Kathryn was happy with her deduction
They exchanged some few words and call ended. Louisa stared annoyingly at the phone in her hand and chuckled
"What did Kathryn say about his son's behaviour? " Leah emerged from the kitchen with a cup of tea in hand, she handed it over to her daughter
"What could she say other than to console me !After all there's no better candidate other than me to be the daughter in law of the Tang's. " Louisa arrogantly said as she took the cup from her mother and sat down on the sofa.
"You're right baby, no one can be compared to you" Leah stared proudly at her daughter
'Of course her daughter is the best ! She's her mother after all.'
"But mummy, do you think Emil already has someone he loves? " Louisa couldn't help but ask
Although she trust her beauty and herself, she couldn't overlook the tiny fear she feels.
What if.....
"Who cares if he has someone he loves ? You are his betrothed and nothing can change that fact! Also, the Tang's has a reputation to protect so am sure Kathryn will fulfill her promise ". Leah said with her head raised high.
Her daughter was incomparable!
Louisa regained her smiles and happy face. Her mother is always right ! Whatever her mother says is always the truth.
Just like many years ago, when her mother had told her not to play with her cousin because she was a bad kid.
"Mummy do you think Yvonne has grown more beautiful than me? " Louisa gazed at her mother as she spoke
She remembered even as kids, her cousin had always been the choice of many people. She was quite pretty as a child and she,Louisa was envious of the attention her cousin got.
What worried her now is Yvonne appearing suddenly in her life and world.
She was the only person who in her opinion can surpass her beauty!
"Yvonne.... " Leah was taken aback by her daughter's sudden inquiry
"Why are you suddenly mentioning about your cousin? " She questioned back
"Nothing. Just that.... " Louisa stretched out but didn't continue
She didn't want her mother to know about her insecurities towards her cousin
"If nothing, then don't mention that name ever again to me ". Leah warned, stood up from the sofa and walked off to her room
Louisa stared at her mother's departing figure and felt confuse
'Why is mum being so hyper? Is it just because I mentioned Yvonne's name or is there something else? '
Louisa shock her head to get rid of her thoughts.
Whatever ! she shrugged her shoulders
Leah in her room pulled a drawer, she took out a photo album and opened to the middle. She took out a picture from the album and stared coldly at an adolescent boy who stood beside her.
'You gave me no choice Junior' She distantly muttered to herself
Back in the mansion, on the second floor, in Yvonne's room and on her bed were two occupants. Yvonne was still in held tightly in Emil's arms. She had her eyes closed and her face look quite pale.
No one knew if she was sleeping or not, and Emil didn't want to rush her to finish her story.
He just kept quite and held her tightly.
Though they both have different thoughts, but their heart still beat as one.
