Chapter 212 - More time together (1/2)

Lena did not know what time it was when she woke up the next morning. Somehow, her alarm did not go off but her biological clock still woke her up.

She looked at her phone and noticed that Kris stayed with her for another full hour after she probably went to sleep.

Lena: Good morning <3

Kris: Morning

Kris: Remember tomorrow

Lena: Yep

Lena got up and hummed. It was so nice to go to sleep with goodnights and wake up with good mornings from the person you love. Lena could somewhat already imagine waking up next to him every day.

Lena was going to wear some business casual pants today but there was a slight knock on her door as she was getting dressed. She put on a light rob and walked to open her door.

”Mom?”

”Lena, we are not going to work today.” Shen Milli clarified. ”I already called our work that we are not coming in today.”

”Then, what are we doing today?”

”I was thinking, we can go shopping and then go eat something together. It's been a while since we went shopping together. I don't even know what you like anymore. We should spend more time together.”

”Ok. Let me change.” Lena spoke.

”I'll see you downstairs for breakfast. We can leave after that.”

Shen Milli closed the door and Lena went back to decide what she wanted to wear today instead. She checked the weather and it was nice and sunny today. It was a good day to wear a dress. She picked up a cute burgundy colored dress.

Lena put on some slippers and went down to eat. Her dad was already out so it was just her and her mother.

Today, Lena would be driving her mom and her to go shopping. Lena was considering if James should come along but since he would be working with her this weekend, she gave him the day off.

Lena's first stop was a small bakery. Although they just had breakfast, it was nice to get some warm sweet bread in the morning as other shops are just opening for the morning.

After that small stop, they went shopping for Shen Mao first. The entered a store were men's clothing was sold at. Shen Milli picked up a gray suit.

”Do you think your dad will like this?” She asked Lena, but Lena's mind was focused on the set of ties they had displayed.

”Hmmm?” Lena replied after a few seconds.

Shen Milli smiled. ”Are you thinking about getting something for him?”

”I think he only wears specific custom made tailored suits and clothing.”

”I was referring to you dad... not your man.”

”Well--- I...” Lena paused. ”I think dad looks great in anything that is not bright.”

Shen Milli laughed. She put the grey suit back where she got it from and walked pass Lena. ”You should get him something. He would wear whatever you get him and you know that.”

Lena walked over and picked up a tie. ”Yeah....”

When they left the store, Shen Milli bought several items for her husband while Lena took a very long time to pick a tye for Kris. He was too simple and Lena did not want to get something that would not match his personality anyways. She just chose a nice, simple, charcoal black tie.

After that, Lena had to drive them to a different store. Shen Milli wanted to go to a store that she frequently visited. As Lena was driving slowly on the smaller road, a young child suddenly popped out of nowhere in front of her car.

Thankfully, she was able to press her breaks on time. Both her and Shen Milli's body jerked from the quick stop. Lena checked that her mom was fine before she went out to check the situation.

”Are you okay?” Lena asked.

”I... I am fine..” The young girl spoke.

”FINE?!” An older woman walked up to the street.

As if Lena's situation did not catch people's attention, the loud voice definitely caught more eyes. People stopped on the streets and looked at them.

”How can you be fine?! You are scratched and might have internal injuries!” The older woman yelled and pointed at Lena. ”You! You crashed into my daughter and you think you can get away?”

”I am very sorry. I can call the police right now to report the situation.” Lena sincerely apologized and took out her phone.

”Police?! Why do you need to report to them? Because you think you are rich, you can just report it and leave. We all know nothing will get done since you are so rich, young miss.” The mother continued to rage at Lena.
