Chapter 182
At the weekend, Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia went to the cemetery where Lim Toby is located. Standing in front of Lim Toby’s headstone, Cheng Lydia said gloomily, “Lim Toby, it’s been a long time, how are you doing over there? I know, I must be asking if I’m okay too, right? I’m fine and Isaac has been born and is over two years old.”
Cheng Lydia smiled slightly, “And you were right, Isaac is a boy, very mischievous and cute, you can rest easy.”
She stopped talking and placed her fingers against her nose, trying to let the sourness dissipate as quickly as possible.
Shen Ron looked at the sad side of her face, gently put his arm around her shoulder and said to Lim Toby, “Lim Toby, thank you for giving me the chance to be reborn, and don’t worry, I will love Lydia with my life. Although she can’t accept me yet, one day I will make her accept me as my rightful wife and the happiest woman in the world.”
Shen Ron paused, you glanced at Cheng Lydia, and said, “Lim Toby, I’m here today, and there’s something else I want you to help me with, and I hope you’ll witness my commitment to Lydia.”
“Lydia,” he called softly, gazing tenderly at Cheng Lydia in front of him, “Come back to me, will you? Let me love you well, for the rest of your life.”
Cheng Lydia’s tears slipped out of her eyes and she leaned gently into his arms.
“Thank you for the opportunity, thank you!” Shen Ron hugged her into a hug, moved to the point where his eyes were hot.
“Shen Ron, can I say no to that when you say it in front of Lim Toby?” She laughed bitterly in his arms.
“I’m sorry, I missed you so much back home.” Shen Ron laughed, a sly smile permeating his face.
He knew she wouldn’t say no in front of Lim Toby’s ditto!
He simply let go of her, took out the pre-prepared ring from inside the bag, got down on one knee in front of her, and said with a light smile, “Then I’ll be a little more shameless and do everything that needs to be done, so that you won’t leave here and you’ll backtrack.”
Cheng Lydia looked at the ring in his hand and twisted her head to look at Lim Toby’s smiling face framed on the headstone.
“Don’t look, Lim Toby must be waiting as long as I am for you to say yes.” Shen Ron craned his head to look at Lim Toby as well.
Cheng Lydia hesitantly held out her right hand, so Shen Ron grabbed it and slipped the ring between her fingers. A sigh of relief ensued, and he giggled at the ring.
At last the ring was slipped between her fingers, and his relationship with her was finally bound together by this small ring.
He raised his eyes to gaze at her and smiled lightly, “Remember? When I was so stupid that I knew you wanted a ring, but I played dumb and refused to buy you one, it’s so funny to think about it now.”
“Isn’t it? It made me sad all night.”
“But you have to admit, the woman I had in mind and cared about at the time was actually yourself.”
“Got it, get up.” Cheng Lydia tried to help him up off the floor.
Instead, Shen Ron gently hugged her, smiling with his handsome face pressed against the small of her back, “This feels so good, like a dream, I don’t even want to get up.”
“Well, you can’t stay on your knees like that.”
Shen Ron gets up from the floor and pulls her into his arms, I’m going to promise one more time, “I’ll only love you in this life.”
Cheng Lydia pressed against his heart, listening to his regular heartbeat, and whispered, “I believe you.”
The Bentley drove smoothly down the main road.
Isaac asked with an excited look on his face, “Dad, are we going to the playground now?”
Cheng Lydia stroked his little head and smiled lightly, “We’re going to see a friend now before we go to the playground this afternoon.”
“What kind of friends?” Isaac asked curiously.
“Well …” Cheng Lydia thought about it for a moment, neither knowing what to say to Isaac.
The car pulled into The Lim Family mansion and as soon as Cheng Lydia stepped out of the car, the butler sized her up in surprise and then exclaimed, “Oh my God, is that Ms Cheng?”
“Yes, I’m Cheng Lydia,” Cheng Lydia gave him a small smile and glanced around the room, “Is everyone in the house?”
“Yes, madam is home.” The housekeeper immediately turned her body into the house and said to Mrs. Lim, who was personally in the kitchen preparing lunch for her precious grandson, “Madam, Ms Cheng is here.”
“Ms Cheng?” said Mrs. Lim, a little confused.
“That’s Miss Cheng Lydia.”
“Really?” Mrs. Lim froze for a moment and immediately came out from inside the cook, surprised to some disbelief at the family of three that walked in, “Lydia, is it really you who’s back?”
“Mom, it’s me back.” Cheng Lydia walked up and surveyed her, “How have you been all these years and how are James and Alice and Lim Edith and the girls?”
“Good, it’s all good, Edith is married and just pregnant, and James and Alice are grown up.” Mrs. Lim excitedly took her hand, “Ron has been coming over to see me for the past few years while you were gone, and every time I heard him say he couldn’t find you, my heart ached and ached.
Mrs. Lim finished and suddenly asked, “By the way, I assume you and Ron’s children are old enough.”
“Be naughty and mischievous already.” Shen Ron picked up Isaac, who had been hiding behind him and was afraid to meet a stranger, and coaxed with a smile, “Isaac be good and call … right, what should I call it?” Shen Ron asked with a smile to Mrs. Lim.
Mrs. Lim smiled road, “Call it whatever you want, since Lydia has already recognized me as Godmother, call it Grandma, Grandma sounds affectionate.”
“Then it’s Grandma, Isaac be good.”
“Grandma.” Isaac called out good-naturedly.
“That’s a good boy.” Mrs. Lim smiled and reached down to take Isaac out of Shen Ron’s arms, stroking his head and praising, “Isaac is so good looking and so cute.”
Cheng Lydia looked around the house and saw no sign of James and Alice, asking as she did, “Where are James and Alice? How come I haven’t seen them both.”
“Oh, Ann’s taking them on a tour of the new school and will be back in a few minutes.”
“Really? James and Alice are both ready for school.”
“Isn’t that right, you’ve been gone for a long time.” Shen Ron said as he put his arm around her shoulders.
“It’s good to be back now.” Mrs. Lim hugged Isaac and greeted the younger two as they sat down on the couch for tea.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as they sat down, there was the sound of an air car engine at the door and Mrs. Lim laughed, “Guess it’s Ann and the kids coming back.”
No sooner had the words been spoken than a cheer of little children came in through the door, “Grandma! We saw the new school, it’s so beautiful …”
“Really?” Cheng Lydia greeted them and took James and Alice into her arms one by one, smiling as she surveyed them, “Is the school really beautiful? So are the James and Alice children ready to go to school?”
The smile on the face of the James and Alice children faded as they surveyed Cheng Lydia naively asking, “Who are you?”
“I’m an aunt.”
“Auntie?” James and Alice cocked their little heads as the two siblings looked at each other, clearly not expecting an aunt to suddenly appear.
“Lydia!” said Feng Ann, coming up in surprise and sizing up Cheng Lydia, “It’s really you? When did you come back?”
“Just got back not too long ago.” Cheng Lydia stood up and surveyed Feng Ann who was more feminine than ever, “It’s been a while, looks like all of you are doing quite well.”
“Yeah, everyone’s pretty good.” Feng Ann looked down at James and Alice and said, “Where James and Alice heart, you guys haven’t called your aunt yet.”
“Auntie.” The siblings called out in unison.
“Good boy, auntie loves you.” Cheng Lydia resumed her crouch and took the two little ones by their tiny hands and said, “James and Alice are getting more and more like Lim Toby, they’re practically made out of the same mold.”
“I hope to be as productive as Lim Toby when I grow up.” Mrs. Lim said.
“There will be.” Cheng Lydia smiled brightly and said to James and Alice, “Auntie has brought her little brother over to play with you oh, are you happy?”
“Yikes, you and Ron’s son is so big.” It was then that Feng Ann saw Isaac who was standing behind Cheng Lydia trying to play with James and Alice and was too embarrassed to come over.
“Two and a half years old and about to go to school.” Cheng Lydia said.
James and Alice led Isaac to the side to play, Cheng Lydia looked at the cute and beautiful pair of dragon and phoenix children, her heart was vaguely sad, if only Lim Toby could see that he had such a lovely pair of children, he would be overjoyed, right?
Look at James and Alice’s look, their frown, they’re just like Lim Toby.
She couldn’t imagine how Feng Ann had survived all those years with a son and daughter who looked so much like Lim Toby.
“It must have been hard for you all these years?” She asked.
Feng Ann smiled and shook her head, “As long as I get to see James and Alice every day, I feel happy and cheerful.”
“It would be nice to think of it that way.”
“It’s not easy to keep a love, so …” Feng Ann twisted her head to look at her, “Have a good life with Ron, this happiness is something that many women can’t expect.”
“I know, I will.” Cheng Lydia nodded.
Re-stepping into the playground was a family of three together.
Fearing that what happened last time might happen again, Cheng Lydia rushes after a good-natured Isaac, running up and down.
Shen Ron laughed as he pulled her back and said, “Don’t you get busy, let him play on his own.”
“No, there are so many people here, what if we lose them?”
“Don’t forget whose territory this is, you can’t lose it.”
“That’s not necessarily true.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve sent someone to follow him.” Shen Ron pulled her into the crook of his arm and said with a smile, “This playground was built for you, wouldn’t you like to go and have a good experience too?”
“Experience what? Too exciting for me to play.”
“Then we’ll go experience the unexciting ones.” Shen Ron raised his hand and pointed ahead to the mo head wheel, “It’s open there today for you only.”
Cheng Lydia froze for a moment… a charter?
“It’s not good, so many tourists.”
“It’s okay, the amusement park gave every visitor a discount today, they can go play something else.” Shen Ron swept her in the direction of the Ferris wheel.
At Shen Ron’s insistence, the two boarded the Ferris wheel together.
Sitting inside the Ferris wheel, with a view of the entire playground through the window, Cheng Lydia exclaimed in her mind, “It’s so big and grand!”
I thought this area was pretty big at first, but now that I’ve taken a look at it, I feel really surprised by how big it is.
“Do you like it here?” Shen Ron hugged her from behind, resting his jaw on the nook of her shoulder.
“Love it, Isaac loves it too.” Cheng Lydia lifted her hand and took his palm, “Thank you.”
“Thanks for nothing, as long as you like it, it’s all worth it.” Shen Ron played with the ring on her finger, “We’re all going to be busy next so let’s just take today to relax.”
“Very busy? Busy with what?”
“Busy with the wedding, of course.”
“Weddings …” Cheng Lydia was surprised.
Shen Ron kissed her hair, “I messed up the last wedding, I’m going to make it up to you this time with a bigger, more romantic one.”
“I actually don’t care about any of that.”
“I care.” Shen Ron’s kiss moved to her lips and kissed gently, “I told you I was going to make you marry me in style and be the wife I love most in Shen Ron’s life.”
The Ferris wheel spun slowly, carrying the happiness of two people.
Cheng Lydia reached around his waist and fell silent with him in this deep, passionate kiss.
The happiness she wants is actually quite simple, a family of three, together forever and ever!
And now, she finally got her wish!
Life, too, is complete.
