At the lobby of S City International airport, Patricia paced restlessly whilst waiting for the arrival of her son Eden. As his flight had been delayed, she could not help but be nervous. What if sothing bad had happened? After all, plane crash rates had an imnse increase recently. The justification of her worries, she realized, psyched her out more than she already was.
Ever since Eden went abroad to study, his return beca a once in a blue moon kind of occurrence. Therefore, as soon as Patricia got wind of the news that Eden was coming back, she was quick to roll out the red carpet and redecorated his room at once to make him feel at ho.
The young man was still a little kid when he was sent abroad to receive a quality education. Although Patricia and her husband would go for a visit when they had the ti, it still made a huge difference to have him back in their own ho. It was due to growing up away from his parents' side that a sense of detachnt could be felt whenever they lived under the sa roof.
As ti passed by, Patricia grew more anxious and helpless. Just as she was about to start pacing again, a broadcast announced that her son's flight had landed safely. As a result, her heart responded to the news by thumping a normal rhythm once again.
When twenty-year-old Eden ca into view, he undoubtedly looked radiant and handso, carrying an aura of sophistication which he probably developed from imrsing in foreign lifestyle and education. He appeared a bit bohemian, arrogant, and possessed a hint of rebellion in those playful eyes.
"Eden, Mommy is here," Patricia said loudly, waving at her son. Upon seeing her, the young man cracked a smile and approached her. It had been a long ti since they saw each other.
"Mommy, you look more beautiful than ever," said Eden enthusiastically. Reaching his mother, Eden gave her a big, affectionate hug enough to smother her.
"Well, my boy, isn't that sweet of you?" Patricia said with a smile on her face. "But I'm telling you. At my age, I can't be called beautiful anymore." The proud mother observed her son with eagerness.
a flashing in her mind. But one look at her handso son who was the ripe age of twenty, and she knew that ti had long passed.
"Did everyone get to co back as well?" Eden asked curiously. Although he rarely stayed in China, his concern for his childhood friends didn't diminish one bit. All of them managed to have a special place in his heart.
Stealing a glance at him, Patricia said gently, "No, just Joyce. I didn't get to hear any news about Spencer and Huey coming back." With Owen and Richard both attending universities in S City, they were permitted to co back as they pleased. Richard, however, was enrolled in military school. So due to its strict nature, he was less prone to asking for ti off.
"I see! So does that an the two guys won't be at the party?" Eden asked, feeling a bit dejected. Huey's cold manner had the tendency to make people around him feel chilly, like staying in the Arctic Ocean, so Eden often felt intimidated by him. Compared to Huey, it was easier to get along with Spencer. Although the latter could be arrogant at tis, with Huey around, he could still be labeled as a warm guy.
"Don't worry, dear. They co back every year, and this year will be no different. They might just return a bit later than the usual. You young kids can still have the chance to hang out," Patricia assured him. Although she drove fast, it didn't affect how smoothly the ride was.
