"What''s is it?" The three elders looked up at him.


    Harry put down the chopsticks before he replied, "You have seen the video in which I proposed to L, Nicole''s mother." he paused before suggesting, "So, I thought maybe you could go to A Country with me over the next few days, for dinner to meet L''s parents." Honestly, he thought, he should just be calling it an engagement party.


    Bang! the sound startled him, and he looked over at Rose. Rose mmed her chopsticks onto the table, her face dark with anger. She hadn''t nned on discussing the video today; however, since her son brought it up himself, she would voice her thoughts.


    "How dare you!" she began, "Did you even bother consulting the elders about this proposal? Is that woman worthy of such a magnificent and luxurious wedding?"


    Harry''s heart sank at his mother''s criticism.


    Kevin put his hand on Rose''s and reminded her, "Don''t be so tough on Harry. Let him do what he wants."


    Harry''s grandfather did not say anything.


    "You may ept this but I can''t. I would ept anyone except L as my daughter-inw." Rose raised her voice as her frustration grew.


    She thought L was a calcting woman and had something to do with what happened when Ynda did not marry Harry. Rose would not abide that woman as her daughter-inw.


    Nicole looked at the elders with curiosity at the mention of her mother.


    Kevin noticed and looked at his wife. "Rose, did you see how grown Nicole is now? You would not want her to leave her mother or live with a stepmother." he calmly stated.


    He thought L was a fine choice and was happy for his son.


    Rose nced at Nicole affectionately responding to her husband, "What''s wrong with a stepmother. If we can find a good daughter-inw, who treated her even better than her biological mother."


    "I do not want a stepmother." Nicole added. She finally figured out what the adults were discussing. She mmed her spoon down. Her mouth turned down as she pouted.


    Harry''s mood immediately turned and he smiled. She was so like L.


    Rose hurr


    "Do you know what you did wrong? It''s alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"


    When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.


    Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to me for Hannah''s misfortune...


    she felt.


    Harry got down to the business before he could be distracted as he was before, "Tell Wendy, nothing happened between Jordan and that woman." Rumor was, that the woman didn''t tell the truth even when she was threatened and that it was when she thought her family''s lives were endangered by a sword of Damocles had she spoken honestly.


    L smiled, she knew her brother had been wrongly used. L replied happily, "Hold on, " She tossed the phone on the bed, put her pajamas on and ran out.


    Harry figured L must be trying to tell her bestie the good news.


    He was right. L knocked on the door next to hers.


    Jordan opened the door, he was trying to help his pregnant wife, Wendy, to rx and rest unsessfully.


    "Where is Wendy? Where is Wendy?" L asked excitedly, craning her head to see in the room behind her brother.


    Wendy sat on the bed with her back to the door.


    Hearing L''s voice, she got up gradually and walked towards her, "What''s wrong, L?" She asked L.


    "Jordan, please leave us." She pushed Jordan back into the room a bit. Jordan looked at the two women in the doorway helplessly and walked inside.


    L whispered into Wendy''s ear.


    "Nothing happened between my brother and that woman."


    Wendy, blushed, and nudging L backward, "Thank you, I will be able to sleep now. Go to bed" Her heart was finally at ease.
