Chapter 194 - Have My Heart (2/2)

”That I can promise,” said Darren without any hesitation at all.

”Alright then, see you soon.” Clara took the flower pot from Xiu's hand and said, ”And you come back inside after saying your goodbye.”

Xiu nodded her head and watched her enter the apartment. By the time, she looked back Darren was looking rather displeased as he asked, ”Are you embarrassed by me?”

”What? No. Not at all,” answered Xiu without even taking time to think about it. ”If anything I actually want to stick to you and show you off.”

”Then why didn't you want me to meet her? She's like a mother figure in your life. Or do you think it's too soon?”

Xiu held his hand and said, ”As much as I love her, that can't change the fact that her temper is no joke. She's a criminal lawyer and if I let you talk to her alone, it'd turn into an investigation instead. I'd rather be at ease if your first meeting with her is in the presence of Uncle Ge.”

Darren knew that her explanation made sense but he wasn't completely convinced. Xiu shook his hand saying, ”Come on. You can't be upset over this. Besides, you wouldn't want me to meet your mother in your absence, right?”

Darren furrowed his brows at her question and asked, ”Why wouldn't I?”

”How will your mother like me without you trying to show her my good points?” Darren stared at Xiu weirdly as she went on, ”Because, in your absence, she won't find anything good about me and end up rejecting me.”

Darren flicked her forehead and said, ”Silly! My mother would love you anyway.” Xiu forgot about her sore forehead as she heard his remark and looked into his eyes as he touched her head and said, ”I don't know why you're insecure but my mother would definitely love you even more than I do.”

Saying that he kissed the top of her head and waved his goodbye. ”I should turn my lie into reality and should actually pay a visit to my godmother now.”

”You have a godmother?” asked Xiu in a daze.

Darren nodded and said, ”Didi's mother is my godmother. Oh, and don't make plans for tomorrow. We're going somewhere very special.”

As he turned to leave, Xiu stood there watching him with a complicated feeling mixed with happiness. His comment about his mother loving her really had struck a chord she didn't know existed. It felt special and it actually gave her a feeling of belonging. Oh, this man was definitely out to get her heart. Oh, wait! He already had it. What else was he after now?!
