My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

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 something bad had happened? After all, plane crash rates had an immense 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 became 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 home.

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 time, it still made a huge difference to have him back in their own home. It was due to growing up away from his parents' side that a sense of detachment could be felt whenever they lived under the same roof.

As time 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 came into view, he undoubtedly looked radiant and handsome, carrying an aura of sophistication which he probably developed from immersing 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 time 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.

ame flashing in her mind. But one look at her handsome son who was the ripe age of twenty, and she knew that time had long passed.

"Did everyone get to come 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 come back as they pleased. Richard, however, was enrolled in military school. So due to its strict nature, he was less prone to asking for time off.

"I see! So does that mean 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 times, with Huey around, he could still be labeled as a warm guy.

"Don't worry, dear. They come 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.
