"Mommy, Aunt Michelle, what are you two doing? Are you two..." Justin studied his mother and Michelle, a thoughtful look on his face. It seemed that he had something more he wanted to say, but he hesitated, unsure of how to say it.
"What? Huh? What are you trying to say?" Daisy raised her eyebrows at her son, waiting for him to continue his words. If he rudely said what he was thinking, then he would be punished for sure. She was his mother, after all. So, how could she not know what his little brain was thinking right now?
"Umm. Nothing, nothing. You two continue. I didn't see anything. Really. You can just ignore me." Justin's face had fallen, and he looked at his mother with sad eyes. His mother only knew how to threaten him. He was just stating what he had seen, that was all. He wished she didn't have to be like this.
"But you have already interrupted us. So, come on. What do you want?" Daisy rolled her eyes at the look on her son's face. He was becoming more and more brazen, just like Edward. She didn't know what the two were doing and talking about when they were alone without her. All in all, her son was no longer the tame and docile child he had been.
"Daddy asked me to tell you that, maybe Uncle Luke wouldn't get jealous when he sees you two, but daddy would surely get jealous seeing you hug so tightly." Justin snickered at his own words. His father really was the jealous type. Well, he had just said what his daddy told him to. His mother wouldn't get mad and punish him for that, would she?
"Ha ha! It seems that Edward is getting jealous." Michelle was bemused at hearing Justin's words. At the same time, she was also envious. She really wanted a loving relationship like that which Daisy and Edward shared. They were faithful to each other. And most importantly, they loved each other deeply. Michelle hoped to one day have the chance to know the workings of a happy marriage.
"Don't mind him. Th
catch you out." After berating Justin, Luke's gaze traveled to Michelle's face. She looked better, but her face was still a bit swollen. Luke was confused about his feelings for Michelle. He just knew that he worried about her, but he was still annoyed that she kept her distance from him.
"I wasn't saying bad things about you! I just wanted to tell Aunt Michelle some interesting stories about you, so she could know more about you. Well, now that you are here, you can tell her yourself. I won't bother you two any further. Bye!" With these words Justin scampered away. In his little mind, adults were annoying sometimes. They all had each other for company, but nobody was here to play with him.
"Did you finish work?" Michelle raised her chin and glanced at him, a faint smile playing on her face. But as soon as she remembered what Daisy had just discussed with her, the smile on her face quickly disappeared. She put on an emotionless facade, trying to again keep her distance from Luke.
"Yeah. We can go back now." Luke had, at first, wanted to take her small hand and lead her back, but as soon as he saw the indifferent look fixed on her face, he changed his mind. He was not sure if his touch would be welcomed. He didn't want to embarrass himself, and so, he didn't even try.
