Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 234 - Woman, Marriage, Babies, all at once

"Do you really think you can be with him?" Madam Li asked.

"Of course."

"He's not as easy to handle."

"I know."

"Even when he pulls a gun to your head?"

"Yes."

"Kris... he---"

"Madam Li." Lena interrupted her. "You're not the first person nor the last person who will warn me about Kris. And I know that you will continue to worry about him regardless of what I say because you are his mother... but I know."

Madam has liked Lena for a long time... she just doesn't want the girl to be hurt nor her son if something bad did happen. A part of her is thrilled but the mother of her is afraid.

Madam Li relaxed her insecurities and listened to what Lena has to say.

"I know what he had done... and already imagined the worst that he can do. I know his capabilities. I know who he had killed, what type of people they are, how he killed them and with or without reason. I know the pain that was inflicted to him and the pain that he inflicted to others.

I know... and I can feel that from the time that I have been with him. He's not perfect and you don't need to sell him to me nor warn me to stay away from him. Because I am not leaving him."

Lena grabbed Madam Li's hand and held it. "I am not perfect too... but together... we can be perfect with each other. And we're not alone either..."

Lena was referring to the important people in their lives like Madam Li and Kris' friends.

"And even if we are... it doesn't matter, because we just need each other to be able to conquer all the things that the world will throw at us."

Madam Li gripped Lena's hand that was on hers. "Then don't say I did not warn you. IF you ever hurt him... I will personally remove you from his life with my own hands."

"I know." Lena smiled. "And I can say the same thing to you. Even if you are his mother, I will battle his own blood if that meant protecting him and giving him the happiness he deserves."

Madam Li looked into Lena's eyes. She can see the fire and confidence in her eyes... like a strong Pheonix flying out its wings and guarding its territory with strong mightiness. Lena would need to battle Kris' own blood if she wanted to stay with him.

"Now... I can say one thing for sure. And it is that I am not 100% strong enough to be with Kris in my current state... more like 90%. But I am not going to let that 10% tell me that I am not worthy nor strong enough to be with him."

"I believe you." Madam Li spoke. "In my heart.... you are already 100%."

'Well... after you give me a grandchild that is...' She wanted to say.

Lena smiled and hugged Madam Li. "I really do love him." Lena cheerfully spoke. "But sometimes I wanna kill him too."

Madam Li laughed with her. "Don't we all?"

They both laughed together and talked about Lena spending more time with them at the Li mansion.

"Have you told your parents yet?" Madam Li asked.

"No. Well... my mother knows that I am with someone but I have not told her yet that he is Kris Li." Lena cleared her throat. "I was hoping to bring Kris to visit them after we officially go public."

"I think that is a good idea. If you need me to speak with your family, I can too."

"Ah no... my family will have no rejection of Kris at all." Lena was confident of it.

"Very well then."

The car stopped and Lena was finally able to look where they were. She was so immersed in the conversation with Madam Li that she did not notice where they were going.

The car stopped outside her apartment and she looked at Madam Li.

"What? You think I did not know you were living here?"

"Well... that was then... Kris was just trying to protect my woman's dignity."

Madam Li smiled. "I know. He's a good son like that... when he wants to be, that is."

"He is thankful to have a great mother like you."

Lena got out of the car and closed the door. The car window was still opened.

"Are you both living together yet?" Madam Li spoke.

"No. Why?"

"Hmm... I know the boy removed everyone's access to his elevator and penthouse... I was just assuming that he did not want anyone to bother him with his... private life."

"Ah..." Lena cleared her throat. "Did he now... I did not know that..."

"Well, Lena... take good care of him."

Lena nodded back at her as Madam Li closed the window and the car drove off. Lena took in a deep breath. That was easier than she thought... thankfully she was not nervous or acting weird... after all... she was still wearing no underwear.

Kris kept texting her about if she had gotten home yet or how things were. She just replied with a heart and then head up to her house.. using the speed elevator.

After dropping Lena off, Madam Li's car drove her to the Li mansion.

"Why were you late?" Madam Li asked Four.

"I was just finishing things up as you requested."

"And you were with Lena the entire time?"

"No, Ma'm." Four replied... but he did not know why he lied. "I lost her when she left with Kris."

"I see... and did you get noticed?"

"I don't believe so Madam.... however, I do think that Kris is getting wary of you."

Madam Li sighed... she knew that Kris would get suspicious of her someday. Her boy was really growing up. He was in the dark for so long and now he was in the light for too long. It was nice that he is able to still see the darkness in the light.

Kris needed to know how to spot those that are right and those that are wrong. Those who are there to help him and those who are there to harm him.

"Don't mind Kris. But I want you to find out why Lena visited the hospital the other day. And give me all her medical records."

The car stopped outside the Li mansion.

"Madam... if I may ask... why do you want all her medical records? Did you not say you trusted her?" Four questioned.

"I do... I just need to know if she can give me grandkids or not."

"...." Four had no reaction... of course, this was how Madam Li always was. 'Oh... I am sure she will be able to give you lots of kids... madam.'

Madam Li opened the door herself and got out. She took off her coat and hung it before walking to the living room. She immediately spotted her son, impatiently waiting for her to get him.

"Did you send Lena home?" Kris asked.

"I don't even get a welcome home?" Madam Li stared at her son who did reply back. "Yes, I sent her back to her apartment, safely and in one piece."

Kris looked up at his mother. "So you know."

Madam Li sat down on the sofa next to Kris. "Of course. But, were you ever going to tell me if I never found out."

"No."

"I was wondering why your relationship was kept so quiet.... it was because you are the one who wanted it to be so, am I right?"

"Your selfish son just want his woman for himself for a bit. You just saw her today and you already took her away from me. This is why I need to hide her."

"I was not complaining about that." Madam Li smiled at how sweet her son has become. "But... there is something I want to complain about."

"Is Lena pregnant?"

Kris was puzzled at his mother's question. "No. Obviously, your son is smart enough to not get a woman pregnant before marriage."

"Pity."

"What?"

"It would have been nice if she really was... did you see that face of your grandmother?" Madam Li chuckled.

"Aiya.... you should just get married already and have babies. Scratch that... I don't even care if you have babies before marriage, you can always get married later but babies cannot wait."

Kris put a hand on his forehead... old ladies... When you are single, they say to get a girlfriend. And when you do, they say get married. And after that, its babies. But with his mother, its everything in one day. Woman, Marriage, Babies, all at once.

"I can only give you one child anyways..."

Kris broke Madam Li's happiness as she herself remember the stupid curse of the Li family. She was supposed to be the breaker of the curse... but because the a*shole grandfather pushed another woman to Li Jun, it actually did not work.

Because the curse also said staying faithful to one woman... and even though Li Jun was faithful to Li Bai... the act of another wife and broken relationship that they had... it did not work out in gods' favor.

She should go visit the temple soon and talk to the old temple lady about what she can do to still break the curse.

"You should not worry about stupid things like that." Madam Li spoke. "After all, did she not say she was blessed?"

"I think she was just saying that at the moment of everything."

"Hmm..." Madam Li did not think that Lena was lying at all throughout her "acting." She wondered if Lena was truly blessed.

But then... Old Madam Li also said something about Lena killing her sister? Madam Li should also look into that more too... After all, she won't let the old lady bully her future-daughter-in-law.

Kris also remembered that his grandmother also said the comment about Lena and her sister. Kris did not think about it much but he knew that the comment did hurt Lena. He should actually go make sure that was alright....

Kris stood up and walked toward the front door.

"Where are you going?" Madam Li shouted at him.

"To make babies."
