My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

"Well. Sometimes, I admire you a lot. You are very open-minded." In the past, Michelle did not know much about Leena. In her opinion, everyone liked Leena because of Duke. However, as time went by, Michelle gradually realized that it was too shallow for her to think like that. Leena deserved all the love that she got from her family and friends. She had her own personality and charm, which could not be measured or bought with money.

"Oh, don't. Maybe I am, but so are most people. It is very difficult to live life these days if you're not open minded." Most of the time, Leena did not struggle for something that didn't belong to her. She was optimistic that, what was meant for her would come to her when the right time came.

Leena had become another unique woman in Michelle's eyes. Just like Daisy, Michelle found Leena to be another inspiring woman. She had something that she did not have.

This party was held to celebrate Owen's first month of life. All the guests were mostly relatives and close friends. Everything went smoothly and everyone had a great time. Kevin was the only one missing as he was on a business trip.

Patricia arrived not long later. Somehow, Patricia felt that there was something wrong between her and Leena. They had not been as excited about each other as before. Their friendship seemed to begin to have a gap.

"Leena, how's everything going? Are you and your baby okay?" Patricia greeted Leena in an ordinary tone. However, in her mind, how she regretted saying those words to hurt Leena the other day. But there was no way to undo it.

"Yes. I'm good. No vomiting anymore. Hey, baby Eden, did you miss me?" Leena liked kids except for Justin. Probably because he was just too old for her to like. Plus the child always found a way to piss her off!

"Oh he missed you. But it is just exhausting to take care of him. He is just a handful!" Patricia did not realize how tiring it would be to raise a kid until she became a mother herself.

"That makes sense.

rap tasting concoction of yours." She would do whatever it took to make sure that she gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby.

"Good. Come to my office when you do your pre-natal check up a few days later. I need to give you a bit more advice." Leena was in her second trimester now. There were notices and advice that he needed to tell Leena. He just could not be more careful.

"Yes! I got it." Something just felt wrong. No matter how open-minded Leena was, and no matter how hard she tried, she felt that she was unable to be so intimate with Tom like before. There was now this invisible wall between them that could not be torn down.

She was not the only one having such a thought. At that same moment, Tom was equally frustrated about it. He felt that Leena had become more distant in front of him. But there was nothing he could do but let it be. It probably would not matter a lot, as long as she was fine.

The summer came after the spring. The weather was getting hotter. Leena became more unwieldy as the baby grew bigger in her belly. Kevin's worry increased as well.

"Nana, don't sit for too long when you are working on your drawing. You need to walk a bit to avoid cramps." In the past, Kevin seldom called home. But recently, he made a call to Leena from time to time. He was just too restless while he was away.
