Chapter 276 - The first chapter. (1/2)

Lena put down her phone and cuddle in with Kris.

”How was your day?” Lena asked him.

”Good. Your family is not as tough as my family.”

”I know.”

Kris looked down at Lena who had her eyes closed and was happily contented next to him. He hoped that he can always make her happy like this.

”Lena..?”

”Hmm?”

”Is there... any enemies of the Shen family? Or someone who would want to harm your family?”

Lena opened her eyes and turned her body over. Her stomach was on the bed and her elbows were holding her upper body up.

”Why? So you can go take care of them for me?” Lena smiled.

”Maybe.”

”Hm.... not really. I mean our worst enemy was you, but then we're dating so you're off the list. Business enemies are normal... not anyone particular that wants to harm us. I mean there was that thing with the disease awhile back. But that was taken care of. So, no?”

Kris looked at Lena sternly. ”Are you sure?”

Lena looked back at Kris and tried to read him. ”Why?”

”I want to eliminate as many surprises as I can. You should always be safe and happy.” Kris placed a hand on Lena's cheek and caressed it.

”There is one thing...” Lena continued. She grabbed his hand that was touching her cheek and held it.

”What is it?”

”Well, I haven't got a chance to look more into it and I don't really know if I should or not. It's about my mother's first pregnancy.”

Kris carefully listened to her.

”The day I went with your mother to visit... her friend, she said a few things that made me wonder.”

”About?” Kris was curious.

”My mother lost her baby girl before she was born. The doctor said it was a natural death... but... what if it wasn't? A healthy baby dying seems odd enough to question it. The old lady said that some people don't want the baby to be born. I started thinking about it... but if someone wanted to harm my mother or her children, then wouldn't I had been dead too?” Lena shrugged. ”I don't really know.”

”Would you want to know?”

”Of course. If someone is really out there trying to harm my family, then I would want to know. It's just been a long time now... And with us now... we still have to get rid of some nasty pests.”

Kris laughed. ”Yes... yes we do.”

”Are you sure you can go through with it?” Lena confirmed.

”No. But it is a small sacrifice for the better of the future.”

”Alright then... I don't want to come home with you pounding on me all night long.” Lena teased him.

”Or...” Kris flopped over so he was on top of Lena. ”I can start now.” He lowered his forehead just so it touched Lena's.

”I didn't come here for that.” Lena pushed him off me and he rolled back to his side of the bed.

Lena gently got up. ”Close your eyes.” She said.
