Chapter 183 Peterson's Return (Part Two)
However, Miguel took the initiative to talk to her, "Are you going to graduate recently?"
"Of course" Rena said while chewing the apple.
Miguel smiled and didn't mind Rena's rudeness. "What are you going to do after graduation?"
"Are you still thinking about Leena?" Rena raised her eyebrows.
Miguel replied, "I am just caring about her."
Rena rolled her eyes.
Maybe Spencer might have heard it, so he cut in while playing the game, "You can work in our
company after graduation!"
Rena immediately said, "What do you expect from a pig but a grunt!"
Yanni also joined them and said, "Brother in law, why does she always scold you? You are so pitiful!"
Spencer whispered to him. However, Yanni didn't save his face and said, "It turns out that beating is a
kiss and cursing is love is like this?"
Rena lost her temper at once and shouted, "Spencer, if you keep talking nonsense, you are doomed!"
Seeing that they were fighting fiercely, Miguel couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Rena and Spencer
were so lively, he thought of himself and Leena. At first, he and Leena were the first to know each
other. Through the two of them, Rena and Spencer finally knew each other. But now, they had been
together. Although they hadn't become boyfriend and girlfriend yet, they were obviously very intimate.
But he was more and more distant from Leena.
Miguel looked down at his palm and smiled helplessly.
As soon as Leena and her mother finished cooking, the dinner was ready. The crowd gathered around
a table to celebrate happily. They also forgot the embarrassment between Leena and Miguel.
It seemed that Mrs. Yang had something on her mind. She suddenly said, "Ask Mr. Carlson to have
dinner with us someday. We didn't invite him before because it's not convenient. We have no place to
cook at that time. Now we have found a place to live, and he did invite a famous doctor to help us.
Even if we have nothing to repay, we should invite him to have a meal."
Hearing that, the lively atmosphere suddenly became cold. Everyone's smile froze, especially Leena's.
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Leena looked at Rena subconsciously, and Rena and Spencer looked at each other again. At last,
Rena laughed and said, "Aunt, Leena has thanked Mr. Carlson before, there is no need to bother him.
He is indeed very busy."
Lowering his head and shaking the spoon in his hand, Miguel didn't say anything. He just listened to
the excuse of Leena and Rena.
Leena also said, "Yes, mother. I have thanked him in private."
"Well, can you let me thank him in person?"
Leena and Rena looked at each other and felt that Mrs. Yang was suspicious. Did she know
something? Why didn't she let go of that matter? But in this situation, it was not convenient for Leena to
ask Carlson over, especially when their marriage was not stable. If her mother knew that Leena had
married such a man, she would definitely be worried.
When both of them didn't know what to say, Miguel gave a hand to her. He smiled and said, "Aunt, Mr.
Carlson is really busy. If there is a chance, he will come to see you. You don't have to keep asking.
After all, Leena can't decide Mr. Carlson's schedule, right?"
Leena nodded immediately, "Yes, mother. Mr. Carlson is really busy. I'll ask him out when he's free.
You'll have a chance to meet him."
Mrs. Yang nodded and had to give up.
Taking a look at Miguel, she was a little grateful to him. Miguel smiled gently.
However, Mrs. Yang suddenly said, "You are not a child anymore. I don't know when you can find a
good husband." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing that, Leena's heart jolted again. Later, she even became careful when eating. Would her
mother find her another blind date or something? That would be really troublesome. What's more,
Carlson always wanted her to have a baby. Although she tried to use birth control, there was always an
accident. If she was really pregnant, how could she explain it to her mother? Leena began to consider if
she should tell her mother that she was married. Would it be disrespectful?
She was uneasy during the meal, because her mother always sighed, either over her or her brother
Peterson. Mrs. Yang always sighed, "Your brother said he would come back to see me, but he hasn't
come back yet. Alas, I don't know what he is doing."
It was difficult for Leena to persuade her. Later, Leena just pretended that she was talking to herself
and didn't say anything at all. Rena tried to change the topic. She didn't want Mrs. Yang worried about
those things all the time.
When the dinner was almost over, both Mrs. Yang and Leena were immersed in their own world,
leaving Rena, Spencer and Yanni chatting with each other. Sometimes, Miguel could say one or two
words, but most of the time, he was silent along with Leena.
When it was the most noisiest, Leena heard a knock on the door. The place she sat was the nearest to
the door, so she could hear clearly when there was a knock on the door.
Leena also felt strange. They had just moved here, and no one would know their address. Why did
someone knock on the door on the first day they came.
Leena guessed that it might be the people from property management or the landlord, so she stood up
to open the door. But the moment she opened the door and saw the person outside, she was shocked.
Outside the door stood a man in a suit. He was really in a suit. His hair was well combed and his tie
was neat. He looked like a white-collar who just came back from work. She hadn't seen the man
dressed like this for many years. He discarded his jeans, T-shirt, sunglasses and peaked cap, and put
on such a suit. He looked rather handsome. Handsome, he was really handsome. She had never
thought that the handsome man in front of her was her brother, Peterson.
Leena was too shocked to say a word. She even froze when she held the door, staring at the man in a
daze.
The man smiled at her and said, "Long time no see, Leena."
His handsome face and bright smile reminded her of the sunny young man in her memory, who hadn't
experienced the subsequent training, or the hardship of being oppressed by life. He returned to his
teens and was still a good brother who would give her bowknot.
Leena was still in shock. At this time, her mother came out and asked, "Leena, who is it? Why don't you
speak?"
When Mrs. Yang came over, she opened the door completely. Leena didn't stop her. She saw the
person standing outside after her mother opened the door. At last, her mother was stunned. A few
seconds later, she said in surprise, "Peterson, is that Peterson? Is that you?"
Peterson still smiled gently, but the emotion in his eyes could not be concealed. He tried to calm down
and said, "Mom, it's me. Your disobedient son, Peterson, has come back!"
"Peterson!" Mrs. Yang hugged him excitedly, tears streaming down her face. This was a mother who
had been thinking about her son for nearly ten years. She didn't know whether her son was alive or
dead. She always thought about him every day, even though she was incurably ill. Now her son, whom
she had been missing day and night, suddenly appeared in front of her, how could she be calm? How
could she not be excited?
The others in the room were also stunned. They all stood up and looked at this scene in surprise.
Yanni also cried and rushed up, "Brother, you're back. I miss you so much..."
The scene in front of them immediately turned into a tearjerker. They all burst into tears. The three of
them hugged together, and even Peterson, who was the most difficult to cry, had cried. Standing aside,
Leena didn't get close to them. She felt that the scene in front of her was still a little different from what
she had known, and the three people didn't seem to notice her. Even if she didn't go up, no one called
her up, as if she should be wandering around their periphery.
Peterson cried so sadly that even Leena was convinced that he was truly repentant. But not long ago,
he swore to Alina that he wouldn't come back. Why was he here today?
Although she had a lot of doubts, Leena was sensible not to question Peterson now. At present, as
long as her mother was happy, she didn't mind hiding the previous facts for Peterson.
Mrs. Yang invited Peterson to sit at the table, and the others also arranged a seat for him. From then
on, Peterson was the only one in Mrs. Yang's eyes. She kept caring about him and no one else
seemed to matter.
Leena went to cook a few more dishes because they had almost finished all the dishes when Peterson
came back. She couldn't let Peterson eat leftovers, so she had to cook a few new dishes.
At this time, Rena followed her into the kitchen and whispered, "Leena, didn't you say that your brother
wouldn't come back easily after he joined the Empire Group? Why did he suddenly come back today
and how come he knows your address?"
"It's very abrupt. But what can I do? As long as my mother is happy, I don't care about anything now.
Even if it's just a show." Leena wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve.
"Sometimes I really think aunt is partial. When your brother comes back, she Is it because you are a
girl? But your mother has two boys, so she doesn't prefer boys to girls, does she?" Rena said, curling
her lips. Seeing that Leena was cooking hard, she felt sorry for her.
She had known Leena since high school. She lived frugally in high school and worked hard after class.
She worked hard for this family until now, but aunt didn't feel sorry for her a bit. On the contrary, when
the eldest son and brother who hadn't taken any family responsibility for 9 years came back, Mrs. Yang
cherished him very much. Didn't Aunt prefer boys to girls?
Leena didn't tell Rena her identity, so Rena still didn't understand why Mrs. Yang was so unfair. She
smiled bitterly and continued to cook, without refuting.
However, at this time, Miguel also came in. Seeing him, Rena glared at him and said, "Mr. Miguel, what
are you doing in the kitchen? There is a heavy smell of oil and smoke here. Be careful not to choke
you!"
Ignoring Rena, Miguel said to Leena, "Leena, there's something fishy about your brother's return today.
I received a call from Alina at noon. She said she had no choice but to ask me to save her. At that time,
I thought she was playing some tricks again and ignored her. Later, Alina seemed to be very angry and
I was worried about it, and your brother came back tonight."
Leena stopped what she was doing and looked at Miguel.
Rena pulled Miguel's sleeve and asked, "What did you mean by that? What's the connection between
Alina's calling you for help and Peterson's coming back?"
