No luxury, no fame, but only warmth and harmony.
This was not the first time that Lena came to this house. She was very familiar with it.
But this time, things were different. Lena used to come here as the hostess's good friend's daughter
and often visited here. But now she was going to be the hostess's daughter-in-law. She was
inexplicably nervous, her hands sweating and her eyes drifting.
As a matter of fact, Cliff couldn't make time to accompany her this time because there was a small
problem with an international project and he had to deal with it abroad.
With no one being there for her, Lena felt extremely nervous.
"Come on!" Lena cheered herself up in a low voice.
"Baby, I'm not afraid. I can do it." She touched her belly and could already feel the baby's reaction. Her
expression became soft and her tension vanished.
She used to be able to cope with this easily, and she's confident that she could manage to do that
again.
Taking a deep breath, she walked slowly towards the sunlit house surrounded by green vines.
The smell of home came over, which was what she missed.
She liked here since she was a little girl. Every time she came here, she was reluctant to leave.
Especially when she slept in the beautiful sunshine greenhouse, she enjoyed the whole day's
sunshine, and she was lazy and comfortable all over.
"Laura, you are being too kind. It's enough. "
"Sherry, I made all these myself. I just hope you don't mind there's nothing fancy. I don't have much
hobbies. I like planting flowers and trees at home, and I'll cook some snacks myself. "
"Lena used to like eating these. But now she's pregnant, so I don't allow her to eat too much. After all,
she should be well balanced in nutrition. She always eats these food without self-control. I'm so worried
about her. "
"Now that you like them, you should try more. They won't be wasted," Mrs. Laura Huo looked in her
early thirties and was talking to Sherry Mu gently.
"Laura, please allow me to eat these delicious foods when we are in future. I think I am too skinny. I
think I should eat more. "
"Laura, you don't know that no matter what I eat, I won't get fat and weight. Every time I walk on the
ground, I'm afraid of being blown away by the strong wind or rain. "
"Sherry, is that possible?"
"Yes, Laura."
"Well, you are so funny!"
"I used to think you were like a girl in the painting, and you had your own way of speaking and doing
things. I didn't expect you to be so easy-going and interesting also..."
"Laura, those are just illusions..."
Although they were not mother and daughter, they looked like a real mother and daughter and behaved
intimately with each other. In particular, the atmosphere created by their words made Lena realize that
nobody could easily step in.
Why was Sherry here?
Did Cliff tell her?
Or is this Sherry's ambition?
Lena's mind was a mess. She felt bad and depressed.
She really wanted to rush over and asked, "Sherry, why are you here? What on earth do you want? " '
At last, she managed to hold back her anger. She couldn't do that. Otherwise, it would make Laura
think she was an unstable person and leave a bad impression on her. Especially after she became
Cliff's wife, the conflicts between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wouldn't go smoothly in
general...
Lena thought too much.
"Lena, why are you standing here?" Fannie the kitchen maid was holding a tray on which there were
many dishes of fruit which were cut into pieces. The dishes were placed in a beautiful style which
would easily arouse appetite.
"Fannie, are you sending the tray to the living room?" Seeing her favorite fruits and a plate of waxberry,
Lena swallowed her saliva.
"This is only because my ladyship asked me to prepare when she knew you would come here."
"Lena, are you going to eat it in the living room or in the garden house?" Fannie had watched Lena
grow up. Which is why she treated her like her own child.
She gave Lena a loving look. When her eyes caught her big belly, her smile broadened.
When she saw them before, she thought they were a perfect match. Now that they were going to have
a baby soon, she was happy for them.
"Fannie, shouldn't I come over to the living room and ... Inform mom? " Asked Lena softly.
"My ladyship knew you would come, so she told me to wait for you and bring you to the green house,
she will be there in a minute." Fannie added in a soft voice.
"Oh, I see!" Lena nodded, but her eyes were fixed on the two talking people and she was not willing to
leave.
Fannie smiled again and stopped talking. There were things she couldn't tell Lena. She had to find out
by herself.
"What do you think, kiddo?" She took the fruits and walked to the garden house.
Since she wasn't needed in the living room, she wouldn't go there for now.
Meanwhile, when Lena slowly turned around and left the ward, Sherry was speaking something sweet
to comfort Laura. The old lady could not help laughing from time to time.
"You are so funny. I really can't bear it any more, or I won't be able to keep my mouth shut."
"Sherry, you should come here more often, okay?" Laura said with a smile.
"Laura, don't worry. I'll come here often as long as you don't mind. " Hearing this, Sherry chuckled to
herself. Wasn't that exactly what she came for?
Now that her goal was achieved, and Sherry was extremely happy.
Mrs. Huo didn't see Lena just now, but she did.
Although Lena got the upper hand, she was not bad either.
'Cliff Huo, she had waited for him for so many years, but now she was forced to give up him to Lena,
'she thought.
She would never agree to that, and she would never let that happen.
No matter what Sherry thought, she knew that it was time for her to leave. Haste makes waste. She
needed to make a careful plan.
"Laura, it's time for me to leave. Next time, I hope you don't mind my attendance. I'll eat the dessert you
made, okay? " Sherry asked intimately, her eyes full of sincerity.
"Well, well, as long as you are willing to accompany me, I will absolutely welcome you to come." Mrs.
Huo was so glad to hear that. How could she turn her down?
After a while of chatting, Sherry left the room.
"Madam, Lena is already in the garden house." At the same time, Fannie appeared stealthily next to
Laura and told her about the arrival of Lena.
"Okay, I'll go later. I'll go to the kitchen to make some soft and digestible cakes. Lena hasn't eaten that
for a long time, so did the baby in her belly. It should have a taste of the cake made by grandma. " She
murmured as she walked towards the kitchen. Fannie followed her to help.
"Madam, Lena's belly is so big. Did the doctor say how many is there? "
"Oh, Cliff didn't ask from the doctor. I guess there are two of them. Because the B-mode ultrasound
picture will require us to take a picture of them. The belly is so large. "
"But I will love the baby whether it's a boy or a girl. It's my baby."
