As they walked passed by the corridors, Xiao Yun continued her little talk with Mrs, Sophia, talking about the garden,the painting she found, and how Xiao Yun's company had grown vast that there were her friends abroad who wished to be able to buy the gowns and dresses. Xiao Yun felt grateful but she can't shake her guilty emotion she felt as they would ask a secret hidden under the family.

"Have you met with Andy, aunty?" asked Xiao Yun as they were about to reach the family room where Mrs. Sophia led them too.

A silence ensued between her question. Xiao Yun saw the smile which was spread wide over Mrs. Sophia's smile didn't reach up to her eyes that had grew stale. She stared back at Xiao Yun that made her feel as though she had stepped into a land mine.

"Andy?" she questioned back her voice was cold. "I didn't. We don't often see each other after all that boy had always moved from one place to another," she chuckled and at a snap of a finger her expression became like mother who was proud of his son, saying, "I can't expect anything more from him. He jumped classes, outsmarting everyone, and excel in everything he tried just for the first time, just like his mother." her tone was smiling as she said the words, sounding as if she had recited the words for many times.

"Yes, he is amazing. To be able to juggle as a doctor and model, it takes what he had." replied Xiao Yun her eyes looking at a large framed painting to see that it was a picture of Mrs. Sophia, Mr. Cheng, and Andy who looked in the age of ten or eleven.

"This picture is..." Xiao Yun whispered her eyes looking at the picture.

"A picture we once took, it's the best that we could find." replied Mrs. Sophia looking at Andy in the picture and laughed pointing her finger to the small band aid covering the wound on his leg. "That boy always fall down stairs often, some times he even ripped apart my dress when he was about to fall. But that is how that boy had always been very careless."

"Is that so?" asked Xiao Yun, she recalled Andy to be a very outgoing person like what Mrs. Sophia had said, but she had never seen him as a careless person.

"Yes, but with how adorable he is, how could I possibility get angry with him? Even his naughtiness are adorable to me."

Wang Li Lei swept his eyes, from the spot he was, he didn't say anything nor react to anything. When they stopped he stopped, his ears was open wide but his lips stayed one over another. One could say that Mrs. Sophia had nothing but praises to Andy, however, if Wang Li Lei took her words in different context, he could clearly hear the astonishing difference.

"But I remember you don't have house Mrs. Sophia, is it alright for you to bring the picture here?" he asked, his eyes shifting to her.

"Oh, you didn't hear it from Andy yet? We are moving here to China starting from now."

Xiao Yun felt her heart heavy, "We didn't." then she realized to ask, "Aunty you could contact Andy?"

"I can't." said Mrs. Sophia curtly. "I tried to call him but his phone seemed to be out reach so I sent him a voicemail, he should be able to hear it once he open his phone again."

Xiao Yun felt something tugged in her heart. If Andy was out of reach for days, shouldn't Mrs. Sophia be worried? But from Mrs. Sophia she faced with, she saw no worries at all. Instead, she looked very leisurely, her expression seemed to be open but somewhat closed at the same time.

"You couldn't also reach him, Xiao Yun?" asked Mrs. Sophia as they began to continue walk.

"Yes, I had something to talk with him." which wasn't a lie.

"Just leave him a voicemail. He doesn't stay at once place at a time so contacting him will be hard and takes time." Mrs. Sophia stopped at a room and Xiao Yun followed suit. They sat one the couch near to a tall window which was covered with a fleece-like curtain and Mrs. Sophia excused herself to take drinks and left the two alone in the room.

"I didn't feel any bad feeling from Mrs. Sophia but I don't know, even though she was smiling, she just felt somewhat empty, like the gaze she had." said Xiao Yun a minute after Mrs. Sophia left.

"I felt the same," replied Wang Li Lei, his hand moved to squeeze her hand. "You don't have to feel burdened I can talk about it instead of you." he said. "It is not easy to bring up other's secret and I know you are having a hard time."

"Thank you, Li Lei," she smiled, happy at his consideration he had always gave her to them say, "But I feel like I have to do this myself."

"I don't want to see you hurt. If Mrs. Sophia took your words as offense, I don't think it will end with only a talk." he said, telling her the consequence of bringing Andy's birth and Adam's.

"And you will be fine if someone hate you?" she asked, her black eyes fully looking at him with a deep look.

"Another one wouldn't hurt." Xiao Yun felt her heart ache for him.

She held his cheek, feeling his warmth to confirm that he was in front of her. She smiled warmly, her white teeth showcased as she smiled. "But like you, I don't want to see you hurt. Don't worry I had expected this since before we come."

Wang Li Lei saw her eyes turning to a determined one and smiled. Each day passed and Xiao Yun grew stronger. He could tell how she was shock and surprised when she first learn of Andy's from Liu Yan Hui and so was he. But unlike him, Xiao Yun didn't only felt surprised by the fact, she was worried and there was the part of her that was saddened and confused. But Xiao Yun still faced every twist and turn all without taking a step back and strengthen her believe.
