Chapter 260 - Dinner and small talks. (1/2)
Ace walked over and sat down on the seat across from Old Madam Li and next to Elder Li.
”Have you got into contact with Chen Xu?” Elder Li asked.
”I have.”
”Set up a meeting with him. I will go personally go see him.” Elder Li coughed.
Ace nodded.
”Husband... what about the dinner tomorrow?” Old Madam Li spoke.
”Didn't you hear what she said? If we push closer, she'll leave him. I won't be alive to see what he will do next... and it's not yet time for me to leave.” He coughed.
He knew that he was getting old... and karma was knocking his doors... but he needed to do some things before he leaves.
Lena was right... whatever good part is left of him still have a concern about Kris. His greediness got the best of him.
Ace stood up and left the two old couple alone. He walked out to the back of the mansion and looked into the vast emptiness. He was empty...
”Today is Saturday... so Lena must have met her already.” A small smile form on Ace. ”Becca... I wonder how she has been?” He placed a hand on his heart and then folded it into a fist, closing his eyes.

The next morning, Lena woke up every early. Shen Milli had Lena running around the house, cleaning and preparing the house to be perfect for tonight.
It was just dinner... not an engagement meeting. Lena did not know why it was such a hype... Lena smiled, watching her mom be the great mother she was. Lena wondered if she will be like her mom when she has her own kids.
Lena looked at her ring and smiled.
When it was close to dinner time, Lena head to her room to get change. Her parents were already set up and ready to greet the guests.
After a few minutes, Lena could hear the noises of car doors opening and the loud voice of her mothers. Lena took her time to put on her dress and made sure she was looking just right for today. Nothing too fancy, but not too plain either.
There was a light knock on Lena's door.
”Just a minute. I'll be done soon.” Lena shouted.
She finishes putting on her earrings and went to open the door. Right as she opened the door, a soft warmth covered her lips as a handheld her back.
”Kris!” Lena spoke after he let her go.
”I miss you.”
”What if someone sees us?”
”So? They would have pretended to not see it anyway.”
”Seriously, you. What are you doing here?”
”I came to get you, of course. Don't you know it's rude to keep your guests waiting?” Kris replied.
Kris grabbed Lena's hand and they both walked down the stairs together. But before they reached the dining room, Kris stopped and turned to Lena.
”Can I get another kiss? I won't be able to until tomorrow.” Kris gave Lena the puppy eyes.
Lena rolled her eyes. She pulled her face up to his and gave him a kiss on the lips before walking into the dining room first.
”Lena... why are you arriving so late.” Shen Milli scolded her but then smiled.
”Sorry.” Lena sat down next to her mother.
