607 Are you confessing? (1/2)
[back to the wedding]
After a few events, Rika Song and Jaime Liao had their first romantic dance as husband and wife. They moved slowly with the touching song as if they weren't being watched by their guests.
It was evident that this lovers were madly in love with each other. The smile on Rika Song never once left her lips while the gleam in Jaime Liao's eyes twinkled being with his partner.
As they watched the couple, Andy Chang smiled as her thoughts were happy for her idol. Until now, being accepted in Lexi's circle, being friends with her boss' friends, and witnessing this wonderful wedding, Andy Chang wondered if she was still dreaming.
It just felt so surreal — considering her background, Andy Chang had a life she never thought she could achieve.
”Here,” As Andy Chang watched the couple in the middle of the hall danced, she snapped upon hearing Nico Zhuang's voice from her side. Turning to him, she looked down on the handkerchief in his hand.
Andy Chang then realized that tears were already staining her cheek. ”Ah, thank you.” Accepting his handkerchief, Andy Chang dabbed the tears.
”He seemed to enjoy the snacks.” Nodding his head, Nico Zhuang then shifted his gaze to the desserts section for kids.
As Andy Chang wiped her tears, she followed his gaze, and it instantly landed on a young boy snacking with other kids. ”Hmm... just today.” Slowly, a gentle smile on her face resurfaced.
”How about his mother?” Watching the little boy, Nico Zhuang asked.
After Lincoln Lu's incident, Dylan Lu's condition that night was not any better. Nico Zhuang had a glimpse of Dylan Lu that night and he didn't need to ask that Louis Lu gave him a night to remember.
Louis Lu, though he didn't kill Dylan Lu, he made sure he'd be a cripple for the rest of his life. Not to mention, the charges against Dylan Lu piled up as Mia Chen and his other accomplice agreed to stand as witness for his illegal activities.
On the other hand, Lincoln Lu also faced numerous lawsuits as his secret activities in the underground world were discovered. Therefore, both men were facing grave sentences ahead.
Meanwhile, Dennis Lu voluntarily stepped down from his position after the incident. Nico Zhuang didn't know the details as it was Edward Lu who dealt with him.
One of the good news was that they finally found the whereabouts of Avah Tong and Dennis Lu's son. Dylan Lu didn't harm the child, but rather trained him to be a skilled child.
It still surprised Nico Zhuang that the kid was now fine — although the kid was kind of odd. Regardless, considering how he grew up, he was still innocent on child stuff that Dylan Lu robbed him to experience.
”How can she trust me to be a good mother? I don't even know how to raise a child — I never had one.” As Andy Chang continued, Nico Zhuang cast her a side glance and scrutinized her side profile. It wasn't a surprise for him to see that instead of hate, Andy Chang's eyes gleamed in doubt.
”But after meeting him, after having our first meal, after putting him to bed for the first time... I just wanted to protect him. He had gone through a lot since his birth — I just want to shower him with unconditional love, but... I don't know if that's enough to be a good mother.” Andy Chang slightly bit her bottom lips.
To her, she already accepted the obligation of standing as his nephew's mother. However, the fear of being clueless and the fear that she might fail him, terrified her.
After all, how can she stand as a mother if she never had one?
”Accepting him and treating him with love... you'll do good.” Watching her anxiety creep out on her face, Nico Zhuang spoke his mind as he stared at her.
