Chapter 234 - Woman, Marriage, Babies, all at once (1/2)
”Do you really think you can be with him?” Madam Li asked.
”Of course.”
”He's not as easy to handle.”
”I know.”
”Even when he pulls a gun to your head?”
”Yes.”
”Kris... he---”
”Madam Li.” Lena interrupted her. ”You're not the first person nor the last person who will warn me about Kris. And I know that you will continue to worry about him regardless of what I say because you are his mother... but I know.”
Madam has liked Lena for a long time... she just doesn't want the girl to be hurt nor her son if something bad did happen. A part of her is thrilled but the mother of her is afraid.
Madam Li relaxed her insecurities and listened to what Lena has to say.
”I know what he had done... and already imagined the worst that he can do. I know his capabilities. I know who he had killed, what type of people they are, how he killed them and with or without reason. I know the pain that was inflicted to him and the pain that he inflicted to others.
I know... and I can feel that from the time that I have been with him. He's not perfect and you don't need to sell him to me nor warn me to stay away from him. Because I am not leaving him.”
Lena grabbed Madam Li's hand and held it. ”I am not perfect too... but together... we can be perfect with each other. And we're not alone either...”
Lena was referring to the important people in their lives like Madam Li and Kris' friends.
”And even if we are... it doesn't matter, because we just need each other to be able to conquer all the things that the world will throw at us.”
Madam Li gripped Lena's hand that was on hers. ”Then don't say I did not warn you. IF you ever hurt him... I will personally remove you from his life with my own hands.”
”I know.” Lena smiled. ”And I can say the same thing to you. Even if you are his mother, I will battle his own blood if that meant protecting him and giving him the happiness he deserves.”
Madam Li looked into Lena's eyes. She can see the fire and confidence in her eyes... like a strong Pheonix flying out its wings and guarding its territory with strong mightiness. Lena would need to battle Kris' own blood if she wanted to stay with him.
”Now... I can say one thing for sure. And it is that I am not 100% strong enough to be with Kris in my current state... more like 90%. But I am not going to let that 10% tell me that I am not worthy nor strong enough to be with him.”
”I believe you.” Madam Li spoke. ”In my heart.... you are already 100%.”
'Well... after you give me a grandchild that is...' She wanted to say.
Lena smiled and hugged Madam Li. ”I really do love him.” Lena cheerfully spoke. ”But sometimes I wanna kill him too.”
Madam Li laughed with her. ”Don't we all?”
They both laughed together and talked about Lena spending more time with them at the Li mansion.
”Have you told your parents yet?” Madam Li asked.
”No. Well... my mother knows that I am with someone but I have not told her yet that he is Kris Li.” Lena cleared her throat. ”I was hoping to bring Kris to visit them after we officially go public.”
”I think that is a good idea. If you need me to speak with your family, I can too.”
”Ah no... my family will have no rejection of Kris at all.” Lena was confident of it.
”Very well then.”
The car stopped and Lena was finally able to look where they were. She was so immersed in the conversation with Madam Li that she did not notice where they were going.
The car stopped outside her apartment and she looked at Madam Li.
”What? You think I did not know you were living here?”
”Well... that was then... Kris was just trying to protect my woman's dignity.”
Madam Li smiled. ”I know. He's a good son like that... when he wants to be, that is.”
”He is thankful to have a great mother like you.”
Lena got out of the car and closed the door. The car window was still opened.
”Are you both living together yet?” Madam Li spoke.
”No. Why?”
”Hmm... I know the boy removed everyone's access to his elevator and penthouse... I was just assuming that he did not want anyone to bother him with his... private life.”
”Ah...” Lena cleared her throat. ”Did he now... I did not know that...”
”Well, Lena... take good care of him.”
Lena nodded back at her as Madam Li closed the window and the car drove off. Lena took in a deep breath. That was easier than she thought... thankfully she was not nervous or acting weird... after all... she was still wearing no underwear.
Kris kept texting her about if she had gotten home yet or how things were. She just replied with a heart and then head up to her house.. using the speed elevator.
After dropping Lena off, Madam Li's car drove her to the Li mansion.
