Chapter 12 - Your Mothers Last Wish (1/2)

At Oriental Tea Dessert Spot

Susu arrived before Shen Wen and ordered for both of them. Ever since young, Susu treated her like her own mother and they would often hang out for some afternoon tea. Oriental Tea was one of their favorite spots to chill and talk about random topics.

While waiting for both the tea, dessert, and Shen Wen to arrive, Susu checked her social media and frowned when she came across a post that Tian Yuo uploaded an hour ago. It was a letter from Karen. Even though her name was blurred out, she recognized the rose stationery that Karen stole from her.

'How could I not recognize my own design? I got so angry that time that I actually yelled at her for going through my laptop. Who knew that she took my design because it was pretty and made it a print for her exclusive stationery set.'

Tian Yuo's message: ”I'm not sure if you are seeing or reading this post, but if you are, I just want to tell you that I love you and will forever wait for you.”

The picture that he uploaded showed Karen's letter to him saying, ”I'm sorry, but it is best for me to leave. I love you, and it is too difficult for me to stay here. If I do, I will only be your burden and stand in everybody's way. One day, I will be back and hopefully ...”

The letter was never finished and only trailed off with dots. Susu smirked while reading the letter, ”So this time she is playing the fishing bait game. Interesting. Using a letter with just a few words as the bait and the hook ending to lure the fish. Hah. Very well played. Victim once again.”

”Susu~ You're here earlier than expected!” Shen Wen sounded surprised when she called out to Susu.

”How could I make a beautiful lady wait for me? Hehe, I haven't seen you in a while~ How are you doing?” Susu got up from her seat and spread her arms wide to give Shen Wen a big, tight hug.

”How could I be well when my favorite daughter haven't hit me up? Tian Yuo almost made me puke blood when he said disrespectful things too! Geez, Honey, you've lost some weight. You need to eat more!” Shen Wen caressed Susu's cheeks.

Shortly after settling down, the waitress served the tea and dessert. Susu elegantly poured the freshly brewed fruit tea for Shen Wen and smiled, ”Here auntie, I remember you always liked this tea from here. See if you need to add more teaspoons of sugar. I told them to add two teaspoons when making the tea already.”

”This child... you remember everything about my likes and dislikes. What about yourself? You ordered just this teapot of fruit tea and a platter of cakes. Is this enough for you?” Shen Wen observed the table of pastries and tea. Everything that was ordered was to her liking and not Susu's favorites.

”I'm fine. Lately, I don't have much appetite, so I wanted to limit myself from tea and sweets.” Susu stirred the fruit tea in her cup gently with a spoon.

”Oh dear, could it be that you are...” Shen Wen was hoping for a grandchild, but never thought that the possibility of having one would be this high.

As if understanding Shen wen's thought, Susu shook her head and denied, ”I've been feeling like this even before that night. I think it's my sleeping habits and irregular meals, but I'm okay. Really. Anyways, Auntie, I know that you loved and doted on me like I'm your own daughter. I also treat you as if you're my mother.”

Shen Wen held Susu's hands and interrupted, ”Wait, before you say anything further, I want you to see this and listen to me first.”
