Today's cloudy, neither too sunny nor too hot. Vanessa had informed her mother that on this day she would go shopping to pick a few evening gowns, after all she had to look her best when wooing the young master of the Quinns.

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on her door softly while she was getting her hair done in preparation to go out

"Nessa dear, it's mummy. May I come in?"

The past few days while Vanessa was recuperating at home, she managed to establish a beautiful mother and daughter relationship, one that looks like they have never been apart. She refuses to lose her mother's love. Not in this lifetime.

"The doors not locked, come in mum."

Maureen happily pushed the door open and entered, pacing towards her beautiful daughter. She said "Dearie, it's quite cloudy today.

    Not knowing how to deal with being called disgusting without lashing out, Francis immediately changed the subject. He looked at the store behind her and asked "Vanessa, this is a men's boutique. Are you shopping for your dad?" " I don't think my shopping is related to you in any way. But be rest assured, I'm definitely not shopping for you. " Vanessa's retort made him speechless as this is his favourite brand for clothing, and she was constantly shopping for him at this brand because he loves the clothes. Everytime she was here, she would shop for him and send them to him as gifts, but right now, she said that she wasn't shopping for him. Which means she wouldn't get him anything!

    Although they are not married and he can't claim her for himself, there wasn't even a foundation of trust or love between them.

She was even buying clothes for another man, while dating him! His face darkened so much that you could see literal thunderstorms in his eyes.

    "where are we headed?" Vanessa asked while looking outside the car window. "We? What are you still doing here?" Leonardo asked while glaring at Vanessa. "Huh, Leo-" Vanessa was ruthlessly cut off by Leonardo's icy voice. "Stop the car!" The driver immediately found a spot to park and before Vanessa could recover from the abrupt stop, Leonardo opened his mouth "Get out" "Why should I-" Vanessa's speech was cut short by Leonardo's glare. 'What's gotten into him? I'm sure he was alright a couple minutes ago? did I say something, well no, I didn't. What could be the problem.' "Tobby, help Miss Lawson out of the car. It seems she can't get it done on her own." Leonardo's cold voice brought Vanessa back to the present and out of her trance. "I can do that on my own" Vanessa got down from the car and glared angrily at Leonardo who had an expressionless look on his face. "Hmph!"

    The shop attendant beamed at Yvette "Miss Crawford, you are as kind as ever. Let me pack this dress for you." The shop attendant then turned to Vanessa."You don't have to do that.

I used to work as Ms DeLane's assistant but I am a designer now. Ms DeLane told me she couldn't get past her creative block after you left. It's been difficult for her. "The Manager's jaw dropped after listening to their conversation.The shop attendant then whispered to the manager. "Isn't Ms DeLane the founder and chief designer of L'amore?"The manager shuddered at the thought and staggered almost instantly.'Dear God, who have I offended!'Meanwhile, Yvette was at a loss for words at the turn of events.'Not only does this country bumpkin know miss Hudgens, but she is also friends with the great DeLane! The founder of L'amore! Did Miss Hudgens mistake Vanessa for some one else? 'That was just Yvette's wishful thinking. Judging by their banter, it was clear that they were close acquaintance.

    "Enough with your act! Aren't you from the country side? How did you know a designer from L'amore when you stayed in a village!"When Vanessa was about to defend her self, Claire stepped in. "So, what you're trying to say is that I don't know who I am talking to? Do you think I am blind? We don't welcome such uncouth customers in our store.

    Leonardo thought about it but could not think of anything to say that would scare her, so he simply added, "If you lose and want to cry about it, then come back and cry about it to me. I will avenge you after all, you are my woman."He would be getting married to her, and regardless of what their relationship was like, she would still his wife. It was within his power to protect her. If anyone mistreated her, he would avenge her. Vanessa was moved beyond words by his promise, a faint pink color painted her cheeks. In her past life she had rejected his proposal and angered him and the Quinn's family because of it. But when she fell into a state of despair, he was still willing to step forward and lend her a helping hand. It was then that she knew that he was not as cold and uncaring as he appeared to be. He was truly a good man. It was just that... his temper was a little unpredictable. His emotions flipped like a switch sometimes."Leonardo, I'm positive that I'll be able to hold on

    What a cunning fox! By the time the couple finished their meal, they received word that D'Angelo had arrived. The bodyguards cleared the table.Vanessa went forward and pushed Leonardo's wheelchair out of the pavilion. When she heard that D'Angelo had come, she kept looking around for him. Leonardo noticed her movements and turned around to ask, "Do you like D'Angelo?" "Nope. I like you, Leo!"Vanessa was not foolish enough to step on this landmine set by Leonardo. In any case, she was telling the truth She had no feelings toward D'Angelo in her past life, she never got to make an appointment with him to do her hair. It was her lingering sense of regret that drove her to look around for him.Leonardo's temper was appeased by her declaration. He commented neutrally, "Not many people have the ability to convince D'Angelo to make a house call.""I know that. Thank you, Leo. You've been so nice to me!"Vanessa was a master of flattery. While Leonardo hated flattery from others, he d

    Leonardo did not pick up her call. However, Vanessa did not give up, and on the sixth attempt, he finally answered his phone. "Leo," Vanessa greeted in a sweet voice. He did not respond. "Leo, I can't find my way in. Can you get someone to lead the way for me?" No response again. "Leo..." Vanessa's voice grew soft and pleading. Perhaps her tone had been sweet enough to melt the iceberg of the man because he uttered coldly, "Stay where you are. Someone will come get you." "Okay. Thank you, Leo." Leonardo was the one who caused her predicament, but she still had to thank him. Vanessa was rather disgruntled, but she had no choice. After all, she was the one living under his roof, so she had to be the one who gave in. After hanging up the phone, Leonardo called his butler over and instructed him, "Mr. Clayton, go and lead the way fo her. She doesn't remember her way in." Vincent nodded respectfully. "Alright." Leonardo was about to move away in his wheelchair when a though

    What did it have to do with him if the driver wasn't afraid of getting into an accident and liked to speed?Leonardo's motorcade kept a safe distance while following behind the Porsche that was being driven like it was a plane.Meanwhile, the driver of the Porsche was Vanessa. She was in a hurry to return to the Quinns, so she drove quickly.Actually, she wasn't a newbie, but this was a new car, and she cherished it. That was why she placed that sticker to remind others not to knock into her vehicle. At first, she didn't know the motorcade consisting of cars that cost millions belonged to her Boyfriend. However, when she saw the cars were still behind her after she stopped at the entrance of Quinn's Mansion, she finally realized that the motorcade belonged to Leonardo.-As she realized that, Leonardo also guessed the identity of the Porsche. He was the head of the Quinns Family, so he knew all the license plates for each car owned by the Quinns. Since he was unfamiliar with the Porsc

    Just as the family of three exited the building, Khloe came chasing with the bouquet Francis brought."Nessa." She ran with the flowers and stopped in front of Vanessa before giving them to her while explaining with a soft and gentle smile, "Francis asked me to help give you these flowers on his behalf. He said you had misunderstood him and were unwilling to receive these flowers. Actually, you did misunderstand him, Nessa. He didn't visit you because he was swamped. Now that he's done with his work, he came to visit you immediately, didn't he?" However, Vanessa didn't accept the flowers. She looked at the bouquet and found it was arranged with roses and baby's breath. Although it was arranged beautifully, they weren't flowers that she liked."I don't like roses," she stated as she looked at Khloe. Then, she argued, Mommy and I decided to come over in a spur of a moment, so how could Francis have known that I would be at the office and to come with flowers? Can he predict the futu

    Finally, Francis couldn't control himself any longer and wrapped one hand around her waist while still holding on to the flowers he was reluctant to throw away. After the kiss, she caressed his swollen cheek and asked, "What did you do to make her slap you?" Francis explained aggrievedly, "Actually, I didn't do anything to her. She ignored me, so I wanted to grab her hand, but then she turned around and slapped me. Her movement was so quick that I didn't have the time to react and got slapped right in the face." He continued to mumble, "Why didn't I discover that she was so nimble and, not to mention, very strong? When her slap ended on my cheek, it burned, and I could even feel it swell up." Resentment appeared in Khloe's eyes as she snarled, "Your family and I aren't even willing to touch a strand of your hair, but she dares to slap you. Just wait until I get my hands on her. Afterward, I'll help you get your justice and make her pay twice as much, don't worry this won't go un

    "Can you walk all the way back to my residence? If you can't, then you better head back now. I'll cut off all your hair if you're still late after I've been generous enough to give you sufficient time to get home. Don't say I didn't warn you Vanessa." "You... You chameleon!" she scolded in anger. "What did you just call me?" When she heard Leonardo's voice growing colder, she immediately became a coward and changed her comment. "I said you're very handsome, and my love for you is like the rolling sea, never- ending. It's... " "Nessa." The couple's conversation was suddenly interrupted by Francis' voice. Vanessa turned her head and saw him carrying a bouquet while striding toward her. He ignored Adrian's secretary while the secretary didn't even try to stop him. Meanwhile, Leonardo heard Francis' voice from her end of the phone and angrily hung up. "Leo? You hung up on me again! Just you wait. It will be my turn to hang up on you someday!" As she mumbled, she stuck her

    It was then he realized that his girlfriend seem to love smiling. "When will Mr D'Angelo be arriving?" "12:00PM, so you must be home before noon." As she looked at the time,Vanessa suggested, "Can't I arrive home before 12:30PM? My dad is taking us to Paradise hotel for lunch. Its said to be New Haven's best hotel and it has the best dishes." Her mouth couldn't help but water at the thought of all the dishes she would get to eat . This was her second lifetime, but no one has ever brought her to Paradise hotel for a meal.As she thought about it, she has failed as the heiress of the Lawsons. Leonardo could hear the unwillingness in her voice and softened his tone. "If you make me happy, I can let you eat at the paradise hotel's restaurant, live in their most luxurious room and enjoy their best service every day." After that, Vanessa commented, "That's right! How could I forget that your family owns Paradise hotel? By the way, do you like the heart I gave you? Remember i

    As Khloe was talking, Vanessa was eyeing her. She knew that Khloe did not want her to enter the company. Meanwhile, Khloe looked calm the whole time. Vanessa withdrew her gaze and explained, "Dad, I think mum is right. It's our family matter and we should be able to make decisions ourselves. I only need your approval to work in our family company. " Previously, Leonardo mentioned that Khloe would still see her as the enemy regardless of whether she wanted to fight over their parents' inheritance. As long as she was the biological daughter of the Lawson house hold, she would be a threat to Khloe. As she thought about it, she figured Leonardo would support her decision to enter the Lawson corporation, as joining the corporation meant she was competing against Khloe. Adrian glared at his daughter while trying not to mention the Quinns' house rules because Khloe is present in the room. "Let's talk about this later." He replied while deciding to still ask for Leonardo's opinion
