It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 1782 Jasmine Ouyang (Part Three)



released from the hospital and now stayed at home. She soon arrived at her destination and parked her car.

Leena loaded her car with the gifts and closed the door. When she deemed everything ready, she got into the driver's seat and drove to Daisy's place. She was busy with preparations for her fashion week abroad last week so when she flew back, Daisy was already The gates of the house opened and she carefully stepped inside. "Daisy, I miss you so much," exclaimed Leena. She brought a lot of presents with her, in an effort to make up for her absence in the last few days.

"How's your work going? Is everything going well?" Daisy asked. She looked at Leena softly, a gentle smile on her face. Unlike other birth moms who usually lay in bed, Daisy preferred to stay in the garden doing a lot of sunbathing.

"Yes! We successfully signed many new contracts this year so we will make a great profit." Leena replied with a big smile. The brand LN Fashion was getting more and more popular these years and of course, Leena got much busier. However, Leena did well to balance her family and career. For her, her family was more important than her job and that would always come first.

"Congrats! That's great!" Daisy felt genuinely happy for her. 'It seems that Richard will have enough money secured in the future, 'Daisy thought to herself. Daisy congratulated Leena heartily. Leena was a girl who was born into a rich family but she worked the hardest. Daisy spoke highly of such behaviors.

"I should be the one saying congratulations to you. Where is the baby?" Leena said. She looked around, but no one else was there.

"Inside the room?" Leena guessed. "Yes. Her grandma is taking care of her. She's too young to be carried outside," Daisy replied. "I'm just staying outside for a while, but her grandmother worries about me a lot. She believes that all new birth mummies should keep on the tradition of staying inside the room for a whole month because that will be good for my health--but I can't stand it. Staying in my room for a whole month will drive me crazy," Daisy said apologetically.

"Alright then, I'll go see the baby inside," said Leena. Leena rushed into the room excitedly and quickly opened the door to the house. She was happy like a little girl and no one could tell that she actually was a mother herself!

Daisy walked in the house as well after Leena. She had not seen Leena for a long time and wanted to ask her about Claire.

"Hi, Aunt Cynthia. I came here to see the baby," Leena greeted Cynthia politely when she saw the elder woman in the house. She was rocking the baby back and forth in her arms. Leena was always the gentle girl, still as kind as ever.

"Hi, Leena. Nice to meet you. Jasmine, look! It's your aunt Leena," Cynthia cooed to the baby after greeting Leena. The baby giggled a little as Cynthia put the baby into Leena's waiting arms.

"Wow, how cute you are!

She's so adorable. Is her name Jasmine?

Aunt Cynthia, is this her pet name?" asked Leena, a bit puzzled.

Leena kissed the baby on her soft, chubby cheek at the same time.

"No," Cynthia answered.

A smile came onto Cynthia's face.

"It isn't her nickname? It is her formal name? Jasmine Mu. It sounds so strange!"*

*TN: In Chinese, the pronunciation of Jasmine is 'Moer' which sounds like the family name Mu, so when the name and the family name are read together, it sounds strange. Leena did not understand at all.

"No. It will be Jasmine Ouyang." Cynthia explained to Leena. Cynthia was also confused when she heard the baby's name at first. Then her son, Edward said that the name was meaningful. The reason why he let his daughter use the family name Ouyang, her mother's family name, was that he hoped in the future for Jasmine to remember the hard days when her mother was pregnant with her.

"Ah, I see. Jasmine follows Daisy's family name!" Leena was quite surprised at this as she could not imagine Edward, who was a proud man would do that for Daisy.

"Yes. That it is," said Cynthia. "Edward insisted. So we have to agree with him." To tell the truth, Daisy never expected that Edward loved her so much. Even before she asked, Edward had made up his mind to name their daughter Jasmine Ouyang. He said he wanted Jasmine to remember the hard days of her mother's pregnancy with her, but Daisy actually understood his real reason. Since Edward was not together with Daisy when she was still little, he hoped this would show some of his love to little Jasmine, to make up for it in some way.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Dear Jasmine, you daddy has a great expectation of you," said Leena. Leena knew that choosing to do so must have a special meaning. Only he and his wife understood what it meant.

"I don't expect she will make great achievements. I just wish she could have good character like you do, which everybody loves," Daisy said to Leena. That was the real expectation Daisy had. There were already many excellent girls in the world and she did not wish her daughter must be forced to be another one. What she truly wanted was for her daughter to grow up peacefully and happily.

"No. I don't agree. Little Jasmine, you understand? Please don't follow my footsteps. You should be as strong as your mummy," Leena said. Leena did not think that she was a good role model, so she opposed quite strongly.

"Our little Jasmine will learn from nobody. She is just herself. She will have her own characteristics." Cynthia could not help but to interrupt the two ladies when she heard the conversation between Daisy and Leena.

"That's true. The little girl looks so beautiful and she must attract many boys when she grows up," Leena said as she stroked the baby's soft, tiny fingers. She liked little Jasmine so much. She didn't want to put Jasmine down as she continued to play with her. "Oh, no. If that is true, it will be hard for her to find her true love," Daisy said. Daisy did not want her daughter to follow her steps as she was too defensive to find her true love. She really hoped that her daughter could easily find her Mr. Right.

"Daisy, you are worrying about Jasmine about her love now? Is it a bit too early to think of that?" Leena laughed at Daisy. "You are a really good mother!" Despite joking with Daisy, Leena envied her at the same time. She understood that she would never have such a happy time of bringing a baby into the world in her life again. It was very fortunate for her to have Richard and she knew she had gotten enough.

"On the contrary, I'm not the one caring for her too much. You can see how much her daddy spoils her. He takes her as the apple of his eye," Daisy said. Daisy found herself a little jealous of her daughter when she thought of that. It was said that a daughter was her father's lover in his another life. Now, that saying had proven itself true because Edward focused all his attention on Jasmine and had seemed to forget about his wife Daisy, his current lover.

"I can imagine it. But the one who loves Jasmine the most should be Justin," Leena said. Leena said so because she knew how much Justin wanted a younger sister for quite a while, and now that his baby sister was born, he must be thrilled.

"I think he would be another Mr. Cold, who spoils his younger sister too much," said Daisy. She didn't doubt it at all. Her little daughter would be spoiled rotten by the two most important men in her life.

"Yes, of course! Duke has a successor now," Leena said. "I really look forward to seeing that." She got excited whenever she thought about it as it meant that she got a good excuse to tease Duke, the ever serious and overbearing businessman.
