The Law of Attraction

Chapter 338: I Care For You

Luo was silent as she quietly thought of a good way to approach her husband. The man deserved a hard beating because only scolding won\'t do for what he just did back there.

No matter what his reasons for doing such a thing were, she could not help but get disappointed to see how Noah handled things childishly like that.

She heaved a long deep sigh and murmured, "Would you like to go with me to a place I love hanging out at? To be honest, I want to go to that place tonight. Let\'s stop at a drive through and buy coffee and some bread as well. But first stop at the side and let me drive…"

Noah did not say a word but followed Luo and stopped his car at the side. Luo knew Noah was still not himself so she wanted to bring him to a place where he could find some solitude.

She went out of the car and opened the door of the driver seat.

"Get out and sit on the passenger." Luo said and she had to snap before his eyes to bring him back.

Noah was still silent as he went out to sit in the passenger seat. Luo then drove to a cafe and ordered some coffee and bread because both of them did not have any dinner yet and surely Noah did not have an appetite for it..

Afterwards, she drove at the hill where Lana had told her before, and parked the car there. She smiled to see the bench and table they could use that Lana said she and her friends had put there for their personal use.

She pulled Noah there and the both sat on the bench where they could look at the bright city lights.

"Here," Luo handed Noah the bread and coffee.

"So, how often do you come here?" Luo heard him finally talk.

"It\'s my first time here and it\'s indeed beautiful." Luo replied.

"But I thought you said you like hanging out here." Noah whispered. He wondered what Luo was thinking about him now. But he was sure it wasn\'t anything good.

"Oh, that\'s a white lie. I said that so you\'ll come with me here knowing I know the place. Lana\'s mansion is near here and she told me I can hang out at this place anytime I wanted, especially when I needed some time alone or am in deep trouble. You know she gave me a pass." Luo explained.

It was an exclusive residence and no one could easily enter but because of the VIP pass that Lana gave her, she could enter in and out as she wanted.

"Eat your bread and drink some coffee. I\'ll tell you one dramatic story of mine…" Luo stated.

Noah did not comment but he started eating.

"I\'m actually an adopted child. I was left at my parents\' doorstep when I was just a baby. I guess I\'m lucky enough that I grew up with good parents who loved me as their own blood." Luo narrated and told Noah how she just recently found out about her being just an adopted child.

"You see, I wanted to know who my biological parents were, so I tried looking for them. I could not help but feel resentment and hate. I wanted to ask them why they left me but I only ended up in an endless maze.

I told Lana about it and she asked me this, \'Are you happy and content with what you have right now?\' So I said \'YES\' because I\'m really happy and content with what I have right now.

Then Lana asked me the reason I was looking out for them? Because once you find them you can\'t help yourself to hate and resent them more, no matter what. That bad and painful past of yours will only destroy the happiness and fulfillment you currently have, so why not let go of it and just focus on how well your life is right now.

Lana was right, you know. Everything happens for a reason, whether it is good or bad. We all have bitterness in life but we must not let ourselves dwell deeper into that. We must learn to appreciate how we manage to have a good life despite those bad things we experienced.

So, I tried that... I let it go and just focused on my current life and my future… Enjoying the love I can receive from important people in my life."

Luo then grabbed Noah\'s hand and gently squeezed it.

"I am your wife and I will always have your back… I will support you with all my might, Noah. But that doesn\'t mean I will tolerate you if I witness you doing something bad. That\'s how I care for you…

Tonight you did something… And you are old enough to know if what you did was right or wrong. I know you have your reasons and I will appreciate it if you will be open about? them for me to understand you better, but you are not obliged to do so because I will respect your privacy if you want to keep certain things to yourself.

Noah, I want you to walk at the right path together with me as much as we could. No one is perfect. Each of us have our own weaknesses and I hope I can be your strength in the moments you feel weak, and you also can be my strength whenever I\'m weak."

Luo was hoping Noah could see and feel her genuine intention. She would not beat or scold him now but she was hoping he could reflect on his action. It was a tiring night so she would let him be for now.

She waited but Noah only darted his eyes on the city lights and there was again a moment of silence.

"You\'re right. But I couldn\'t help it. I can\'t stand that woman\'s face smiling like she is the happiest woman in the world when she just stole that happiness from my mother…"

Luo looked at Noah intently, hoping Noah would also share an important piece of his life with her.
