Chapter 395: Proud To Be Your Mother

At Sy Building.

The next morning, Mrs. Huang unexpectedly visited her daughter at Liam's office to bring her some lunch.

"Why did you not call?" Lana asked while she peeked inside the paper bags her mother bought.

"It's a surprise visit since I suddenly missed my glutton daughter. I brought all the food that you like. Well, you like all kinds of food so there… Let's have lunch together. Where's Liam?"

"He had to go out for a lunch-meeting outside. I was too lazy to join him and I wanted to sleep after eating," Lana commented as she and her mother walked into the pantry room inside Liam's office.

Lana opened the television so her mother could watch something while she prepared the table. She was startled when her mother suddenly touched her belly.

"Hmm, still small…" her mother whispered before she sat down and scanned the television and stopped at a movie.

"Mom, let's eat…" Lana said with a smile as she sat on the chair and began eating. Her mother was watching some suspense thriller movie while eating so Lana also watched the same while she ate.

"That dummy. His father is old already and I'm sure he will understand. He should choose to save his lover instead." her mother commented at the scene where the villain threw the male lead's father towards the other side of the ship and the male lead's love towards another side. Both did not know how to swim so the male lead was in a dilemma about which side to jump on and whom to save.

"I bet he will choose his father. He can always find another lover but a good parent is hard to have." Lana nonchalantly commented as she focused on the screen.

"Let's bet. He will save his lover…" Her mother commented.

And when the male lead jumped to the side where his lover was, her mother gawked, "I won! I told you. I would have done the same in that situation. The father is old already and he will surely understand his son's reasons."

Lana's face twitched as she mumbled, "That's a stupid movie with a stupid plot! Mom, so what if the father is old? He is still his father, how can he not care about his father's life or death?"

Her mother heaved a deep sigh as she looked at her and explained, "Dear, it's not about the age. What I mean is the father is mature enough to understand the situation… You will understand a parent's heart once you become a mother, you will soon know how being a parent feels.

If that happens to me and you save me instead of Liam, I will feel burdened seeing my daughter sad with the choice she made knowing how much she loved her partner but lost that partner because she chose her parent over the partner.

I will not be happy as a parent. We are already old and have achieved everything in this world by merely having the precious gift of giving birth to a child. And the one thing we will want would be for that child to be happy with someone she cares for and have her own family.

I'm not saying this will happen to us but if in any case, it does, I want you to know that you must always choose Liam over me… Think of your unborn child as well..."

Lana's eyes rounded in horror as she scolded, "Stop that already mom! I don't like what you're saying, okay…"

Mrs. Huang chuckled and said, "Alright I will stop. You're so serious. I just want you to know my heart and to understand that I want you to prioritize your own family now… the family you are now building…"

Lana no longer debated. She did not respond and just continued with eating her food because she knew her mother, she would not stop if she entertained the topic any further.

Instead, she twitched her mouth and could not help but childishly whine, "Just switch the channel mom, and don't watch frustrating movies like that."

Mrs. Huang chuckled and switched the channel so her dear daughter would not get stressed anymore, she could see those wrinkles all over her forehead.

After having lunch, the mother and daughter bonded for some time, while sitting on the couch while Mrs. Huang had some tea and Lana ate more fruits.

"It's a good thing that everything is fine now. Dear, you should just relax and focus on your pregnancy." Her mother commented. All she wanted was for her daughter to live a peaceful life with her future family.

"Yes mom but somehow there's still a fear in my heart for some reason that I can not understand…" Lana voiced out.

Mrs. Huang held her hand and gently caressed it as she said, "It's probably because you are pregnant. You tend to have mood swings and mixed emotions. By the way, let me stay here with you while Liam is not around. Let's play like we used to. I miss playing chess with you…"

Lana smiled and said, "Wait I will get Liam's chessboard. I would love to play with you mom, or else my brain will get rusty pretty soon."

Mrs. Huang laughed. Lana was about to stand to get the chessboard but Mrs. Huang suddenly held her hand and pulled her in for a warm hug.

"Oh, it's been a while since I hugged you and held you this close for a while. I still remember, when you were small and would always snuggle with me when you slept. Let me hug you now, while I still can because sooner you'll have a big bump on your belly that it will be so hard to hug you like this dear.

Seeing how you eat… I'm sure that this belly of yours will soon get really big." Mrs. Huang teased, making Lana pout her lips and complained, "You can still hug me mom, from behind. Stop teasing me for my future size for now, when I'm not even that big yet."

Mrs. Huang chuckled and said, "I wonder what would be the gender of my first grandchild. I hope she will be as pretty as you, my dear. And if it's a boy, he should be as handsome as his father."

"Hmm, I only hope that my future children will inherit the good heart of their grandmother." Lana commented with a smile and was startled when her mother kissed her on her cheek and said, "Thank you dear for coming into my life. I'm so proud to be your mother…"
