Winston and Melissa bid mother and son, especially surprised looking at Arsh excited to go out with his mother.

"How did Alan Morgan let his wife and Arna let her brother enjoy outside?" Winston generally probed walking next to Melissa who was controlling her wheelchair on her own without looking weak or embarrassed about being on wheels.

​​

Melissa faintly smiled, she was glad he wasn't attacking her with words but started off the conversation lightly. She glanced at the sports car that left the premises.

"Father and Daughter are in the kitchen in pink aprons cooking for mother by sending these two out to enjoy." She remembered Alan standing in a pink apron and chuckled.

"Mr. Wen, Ms. Morse, welcome to the Tea house." An old man warmly welcomed the duo with a smile.

The duo nodded in response adding a smile, then the old man continued, "President Cooper had reserved a table for you. Please let me know if you would fancy a different table." He guided them to the window seat which had good privacy and a good view of the lake and the forest on the other side of it.

In a few minutes, the duo settled and ordered the tea they liked and added some snacks hearing the recommendation.

Silence encircled without knowing where to start so Winston asked, taking a sip of his tea, "Chairman Morse, I just got to know about your relationship with Aria."

Melissa nodded keeping her cup down, "I asked her about you but she left it for us so that we could have something to start a conversation."

Winston understood she has no idea about him and she was as clueless as him, "I am Winston Wen, the senior cardiologist at Imperial main hospital."

"Winston Wen'' Melissa slowly uttered as she tried to remember where she had read about him. Thanks to her sharp memory she immediately recalled, "Professor Wen, an awardee and excellent professor for training more than fifty doctors. I have read your articles."

Winston responded with a small nod as if it wasn't noteworthy. Melissa continued, "You are famous as a doctor whose wife, girlfriend, and life is the medical field. You have an amazing career, why didn't you marry anybody?"

Winston's hand froze in the air but it was just for a second before he fluently handled it by taking a sip. Looking at Melissa's curious gaze, Winston undoubtedly tried to remember Emily Parker, for no reason he wasn't able to bring her alive in his imagination but look at Melissa.

Unaware his thin lips faintly curled up as he kept his cup down. Melissa thought she might have asked some foolish question so she wanted to change it but Winston spoke, "Because I wanted to get over your twin sister."

Melissa was at a loss for words. She didn't know how to respond to it.

Then Winston chose to tell her how he got lost in the medical field and their conversation went on effortlessly without the need of searching for topics.

Melissa was aware he was able to get comfortable with her because she looked like Emily but she wasn't offended but she liked to hear it. She even probed questions, made little fun of him.

Hearing him, she had no idea when she also started telling how much she missed a normal life.

While the blind date of the elder couple was on, Aria and Arsh were enjoying in the largest mall of the city grabbing everyone's attention. They didn't miss their snacks before they went to the game arcade.

Then they shopped a lot, a little one held quite a few small bags and Aria held the rest of the bags.

If any sales girls tried to talk or play with Arsh seeing him smiling and enjoying with his mother, they only earned a cold gaze or a polite answer if required. But most of them almost recalled Alan Morgan and admired them from afar.

In the Morgan mansion, Amelia and Roxy enjoyed watching Arna standing on an island counter and behaving like she was supervising the cooking while Alan cooked and Rian helped him wearing a floral apron, thanks to Arna who sweetly fooled him.

Roxy commented holding her baby looking at father and daughter taste chicken sauce and the daughter was excited, "Mom, Brother-in-law isn't only the best husband, he will be the best father."

Amelia, who was admiring her sons and granddaughter smiled hearing Roxy. "To make the best husband, he got a loving wife. To be a better father, we should see if Snow and Nemo could support them. Life of a parent is not that easy."

Roxy became curious and turned to Amelia. Her parents had no time to care for her, she had struggled a lot that made her strong so she wanted to know how it was difficult for Amelia and Rowan.

Rowan sat next to his wife and flashed Amelia a tender smile.

Roxy smiled to herself, She and Rian are loud and funny couples who always make everyone laugh, Aria and Alan always make them jealous giving countless couple goals by shoving lots of dog food. Whereas Amelia and Rowan are like role models on how to live and support each other.

Roxy wished her old age with Rian to be just like Amelia and Rowan.

Amelia looked at zoned out Roxy and chuckled, "What are you dreaming of?"

Roxy slightly blushed and shook her head. Amelia then told her why it's not easy to be a parent. "Love and care are never enough. As a parent, we expect them to be dutiful and filial but their life isn't just wrapped around us. They change in each stage of life."

Roxy glanced at brothers who are still the same as long as she knew.

Amelia continued seeing her perplexed, "Rian was a big cry baby and was always gloomy, then he had a lot of bad influence and learned a lot of bad things, now look at him."

The three turned to see Rian and Arna laughing happily.

Amelia continued with another instance, "Arrie was bubbly and too innocent. She used to sit and cry with Rian if she couldn't stop him from crying. But when she lost her mother, she wanted to be strong but was hurt every time she was hearing motherless. When she got to know her own grandfather wanted to kill her, thirteen Arrie drastic changes shocked everyone."

Roxy nodded aware of the incidents.

Rowan patted Amelia's hand, remembering Oliver Cooper's death and how Aria entered the Morgan mansion to live.

Amelia didn't mention it and moved to another son of her, "Alan, he was an active happy child for four years but a small incident of seeing Arrie crying due to injection was enough to change him.

And being a parent, you won't only worry about their growth, A bad habit of your son will be blamed on you and your nurture.

Remember when Alan and Aria orchestrated the wedding cancellation and Alan pulled all the blame on himself, people didn't only point at him but they said every nasty word and smiled sarcastically in front of us.

Thankfully it was just a show and my sons turned out to be good but it isn't the same with all. So being the best parent is more difficult."

Roxy gulped unknowingly and glanced at her son Rooney. 'I will try my best, My Roo, please be like your father.'

Amelia and Rowan chuckled looking at Roxy sweating thinking of the future. Amelia patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, we are all here."
