The Law of Attraction

At Yu's Residence

It was the weekend, so Noah and Luo decided to just chill inside their house and bond more doing some household work.

"I will take care of everything so you just sit here and relax," Noah stated as he led Luo to the living room and switched on the T.V. so she could watch some television series or movies.

"You're such a killjoy!!… Don't you see I want us to work together? I will only do some simple chores anyway," Luo complained.

Noah bent his knees before Luo and touched her stomach with a smile.

"I don't want our baby getting tired…" he whispered adoringly while he caressed her tummy as if feeling their baby inside.

"I see, so you just care about our baby… and practically not about the mother, huh?" Luo lamented with lifted brows and pouty lips.

Then Luo jested, "Wow, that's a 360 degree turnover for someone who was too afraid of being a father before."

Noah chuckled and leaned his head on her belly and whispered, "Baby, look your mother is feeling jealous. How come she's jealous of you when she clearly knows how much I love and care for her? Isn't she happy that I'm showing so much care for you? Oh, I can't wait to know your gender!"

Luo shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes. Noah lifted his head to stare at her and whispered with a roguish smile, "I love you, baby…"

Luo, although already melting with those words of her husband, tried her best to act as if she was still sulky.

"Alright, you can just…" his words were interrupted with the sudden ringing of their doorbell.

"Brione?" Luo mumbled since it was only Brione who could automatically enter their gate outside.

Noah stood up and said, "I'm not expecting her. I wonder why she came so suddenly."

He opened the door and saw Brione crying outside.

"What happened?" he worriedly asked but Brione pounced at him as soon as she saw him and hugged him tightly.

"He… He is dying," Brione whispered.

"I know that we should hate him but when I hear his weak voice on the phone pleading and begging to see us…" Brione cried more.

Noah froze.

Luo, who felt that Noah was taking up too long, walked towards the door and heard what Brione said.

"I don't know what to do brother. Somehow I still want to go see him. Can we please see him one last time?" Brione asked in between her sobbing.

She felt conflicted and Noah understood his sister's emotion. Brione and their father spent time together before Brione got to know the truth, unlike him who totally avoided him.

"Come inside first…" Luo interrupted them and had the two sit on the couch in the living room to talk properly.

"I'll get you two some drinks," she said and left the living room to go to the kitchen.

While preparing some tea in the kitchen, Luo could not help but sigh.

It had been a year already since she started persuading Noah to bury his past grudges regarding his father and Carie. His father and Carie often contacted both Brione and Noah over the past year, hoping the two would see them somehow but Noah only shut them off and she heard Brione would do the same.

The siblings simply cut their ties with them and did not want anything to do with the two anymore.

The two stayed far away in another country but after Noah's father learned that he would die soon with cancer, he probably wanted to die peacefully by seeing his two children and hoping that he would be forgiven before his last breath.

Another sigh came out from her mouth as she put the cups on the tray. Her husband never commented whenever she would ask or open the topic about his father. She personally preferred Noah to be freed from any remaining hatred he had for his father and Carie, as she knew that it was not good to harbor a strong emotion such as hatred in someone's heart.

She walked to the living area and saw Noah patting Brione's back as he consoled her with her continuous crying.

"She must be totally conflicted and confused at this point," she could not help but murmur.

She saw Brione freeing herself from her brother's embrace and ask, "What are we going to do now? Are we still going to brush him off and ignore him?"

Luo too waited for her husband's answer. She wanted to know what he would do now? Would he remain unbudging? Or would he forgive his father and let go of his hatred?

Noah heaved a long deep sigh and whispered, "I think the right thing to do now is to see him Brione. I'm sorry that you have to suffer like this because of me. If only I hadn't told you anything back then…"

"Stop that! I was sad that you told me too late. You suffered alone while you let me off, free from all those pains… I'm really grateful that I found out the truth brother, so please don't feel bad. I will free my schedule and let you know. Let's go there together." Brione sniffed.

Luo smiled as she approached the two and handed the first glass of water to Brione.

"Wow, I should join the trip. I haven't been to country C…" Luo interrupted with a grin, easing the depressing atmosphere.

"No way! It's not safe for our baby to travel…" Noah burst out making Luo's mouth twitch and face crumble.

Brione chuckled seeing that because Luo already complained to her several times about how exaggerated Noah can be when it comes to protecting her and their baby. He was so paranoid that he would not allow Luo to even lift a finger when he was around.

"Okay, I will stay here and not go with you. I'll just meet Lana and some of my friends while you're away," she mumbled and sat opposite him.

"I will not be away for too long baby, so just stay at home. I will buy anything you want so you won't feel bored. I will ask Lana and your friends to visit you here instead of you going out to visit them," Noah reasoned.

"Such a clingy father!" Luo snickered with narrowed eyes because Noah would not allow her to go out often without him. Noah didn't say anything but only mouthed the words 'I love you' to her.

Luo helplessly dropped her shoulders while Brione chuckled some more watching the two lovebirds banter. She was very grateful and happy that her brother Noah was having a good life with his wife above anything else.
