As the?days?passed, Kevin gradually but steadily recovered. Meanwhile, Duke''s son had reached his first month after being born. They named him Spencer, a name given by his grandfather Lloyd. The boy had impressively taken after his parents, and was both cute and handsome. In addition to the advantages of his fine gics and physical features, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so it wasn''t hard to presume that he would grow up in wealth and privilege.


    Considering that the child was still new in the world and not strong enough, the Leng family decided to put off the celebration till he reached a hundred days, so that he could stay indoors to be protected from the alternating warmth and coldness at this time of the year. It was not a good time for a baby to stay out for too long.


    Leena adored her nephew very much. She would go and see the boy whenever she was free, so it had be a ritual for Kevin to go to Duke''s home to find his wife there after work. Naturally, they would have dinner there before going home every time. Leena joked about this matter by saying that they had no choice but to bum meals off them, since Kevin had donated all his money to the earthquake-hit area.


    Sometime before the celebration, Leena, Patricia and Michelle all went shopping together. This had be something that they seldom had the chance to do, now that they had their separate and private lives. As punctual people, Leena and Patricia arrived on time, but Michelle waste as always. She exined that it was because she was rushing to finish a painting.


    "Hey! What''s the matter with you, Michelle? Didn''t we set the date early yesterday? Why didn''t you finish your paintingst night?" Patricia ask


    Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.


    To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.


    "As long as I''m alive, I''m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."


    She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.


    Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few yearster, to his astonishment.


    e sense. Now that she had be Tom''s wife, she should look like one. The wife of the hospital chief must be someone who looked in tune with him and his status. She had promised herself that she would always change herself for the better, for the sake of her marriage, and for the sake of Tom.


    "Well, I can do it now, if you want! I have already finished all the work needed for the fashion week. So I am free and I''m all yours. Let me know what kind of evening dresses you want. But then again, why? Do you want to change your fashion style?" Leena asked. Knowing that Patricia preferred casual clothes, she was a bit surprised that she would show interest in evening dresses.


    "Yes, I do. After all, I''m the wife of a highly esteemed doctor now and I need to improve my public image. Besides, I''m helping my mother manage the gallery, so surely I need to look demure and sophisticated at the same time, in case I''m not in tune to its surroundings," Patricia exined with a sigh. She actually wouldn''t change a bit if she had the choice. However, everything has its price. Besides, she should give it a chance. Maybe she''d like it after all.
