Chapter 3 - Aunt Mei

Linda drove by herself to her family mansion. On the way she couldn't help thinking the reason her mother called her over. After 20 minutes of driving, she finally stopped at a big front gate. The guards were approaching her as to confirm who's inside the car, so Linda opened her car windows slightly and removed her black sunglasses.

The guards immediately recognized her and opened the gate swiftly. On the way she were greeted by many various of plants, but Linda didn't have time to appreciate all of it. Because her mind were fully focused on what will happen later. A few seconds later she arrived in front of a big fountain. There are two expensive cars already parked there. Linda raised her eyebrows seeing this but didn't say anything and just stepped out from her car.

From the car, she can see a slightly worried expression on her most trusted maid. Just as she stepped out from the car, the maid immediately running toward her while bringing a umbrella. The maid raising it umbrella upward and Linda get shielded from the sun by it. Linda smiled seeing the maid didn't change at all. From when she was a kid till now, the maid always treat her warmly.

"Aunt Mei." She stepped forward and hugged the person before her tightly. Aunt Mei cannot push her away nor she want. So she just standing there, while patting the head of Linda with her other hands.

Linda already thought Aunt Mei as her second mother the moment her real mother died. When her mother died, Linda mind were in so chaotic mess. Her father sudden married after her mother dead were making it worse. If it not because Aunt Mei, Linda would have ended up becoming a madwoman.

When Linda decided to become an actress, the only things she regret was that she cannot bring along her Aunt Mei. Aunt Mei already being contracted to Lim family for the lifetime. So the fact Linda cannot bring Aunt Mei along with her, is the most things she regret on her lifetime.

Its been a few years since she left her family mansion and seeing her Aunt Mei face bringing a lot of her old memories. She shook her head slightly to erase all those thoughts because right now she need to focus on what her step-mother trying to do.

She broke the hug and eyed Aunt Mei from head to toe. Aunt Mei were feeling uncomfortable by Linda intense stare but can't do anything.

"Why are you getting skinnier, Aunt Mei??" Linda concernedly asked but Aunt Mei were dumbfounded by her question. Should i the one who ask that question????

"What are you saying. I should be the one who ask you that question." Aunt Mei slapped Linda head gently.

"Ouch." Linda rubbed her head as if it was painful.

"Stop pretending. I know that my slap wasn't that strong." Linda smiled sheepishly at her words and immediately hug Aunt Mei side arms.

"So, can you tell me why my mother suddenly call me over here?" Aunt Mei smile froze at Linda question. Right! I totally forgot about that matter.

"Ummm...It's like this young miss-" Aunt Mei words were stopped by the glaring of Linda.

"How many times i have told you that you should call me Linda instead of young miss." Linda said with a warning tone. Aunt Mei gulped her saliva at her words and nodded her head obediently.

"You already know that i've long regarded you as my second mother. So please just call me Linda." Linda speak in sad tone making Aunt Mei cursed herself for making Linda sad.

Aunt Mei immediately hug Linda close and patted her back, "I'm sorry Linda. I promise that i'll always call you Linda from this time onwards. So don't be sad anymore, hmm?" Linda nodded her head happily on the shoulders Aunt Mei.
