Regrets

The supermarket was packed with people of all ages and races

Yuna scooped Leo in her arms before taking a shopping cart which they'd need for their shopping "Woah, there's so much sweets" Leo pointed excitedly and Yuna picked whatever he pointed at without hesitation

At least she still had the money to spend

Why then be thrifty?

"Woah little aunt look at this" "little aunt look at that" Leo's rich voice could be heard as they shopped

He did have a lot to say

"Are you hungry Leo?" Yuna asked and Leo nodded "I didn't eat anything else other than my lunch" he pouted

"Little aunt is sorry she forgot about you" Yuna apologized sincerely "little aunt must not forget me any longer!" Leo stated loudly and Yuna nodded "Hmpf!" Leo snorted annoyed at the fact that

She really did forget him

"Little aunt will never forget you Leo" she smiled while still shopping

Leo stared at her smile

Which was way better than her straight face and calculated expressions

"You should smile more little aunt" he commented and Yuna chuckled "you're little aunt's sunshine, of course I'm happy" she said and he blushed

His little aunt was really shameless!

To say those words out loud!

His little face and ears reddened from blushing too hard "do you have a fever?" Yuna asked as she touched his head

"Put me down, I can walk!" His dace reddened even more as he anxiously got on his feet

Ignoring Yuna he proceeded forward

Yuna's phone rang

"Where are you both?" Oceana asked softly "the supermarket" Yuna replied as she continued to pick more things "it's getting late….. I just got off work I'll see you at home" Oceana sighed and then she hung up

Yuna threw the phone into her bag and continued on her way

"Sorry…." Ren smiled as he helped Leo up

The little boy had been too obsessed in the toy he picked, he hadn't looked ahead of his shirt limbs "not hurt…." Leo flared his arms and legs before walking off still entirely focused on his toy

"You're not blind are you? Almost crippling the kid" Yuna glared at him especially his pair of long legs

Did he want to trample on Leo?

"It was an accident" Ren forced a smile to which Yuna rolled her eyes and continued shopping

"Boss that's Yuna..... the one responsible for the deaths of sir Tristan's men" his surbordinate whispered

However staring at Yuna's small frame and harmless smile

It was hard to associate her with a cold blooded, ruthless killer

"She's the one protecting Oceana?" Ren chuckled with a hint of interest

"Yes, I've gathered all the data I can get of her, there's alot" his surbordinate added and he nodded as they both continued to shop

Like two best friends

Yuna couldn't be bothered with two strangers, she had a lot to buy for the new house hence she couldn't waste her time on unworthy things

"Leo!" Adrain waved happily as he ran over to Leo who was busy picking out more snacks "Adrain" Leo grinned still clutching the snacks in his hand "Have you made your choice?" Adrain asked as he also picked his own snacks

"Adrain...…..!!!! Jeez are you trying to kill me" Adrain's mom ran over anxiously. Her eyes darted around taking in Leo's form

"Mum he's Leo!" Adrain couldn't be bothered with his mother, he calmly followed behind Leo to pick snacks "Hi….. that's my son" Adrain's mom smiled as she held her hand out for an handsome

"Is your son a bully?" Yuna asked as her eyes trailed the two children but Adrain didn't look suspicious "my son isn't a bully" Adrain's mother Celeste declined

How on earth could her sweet boy be a bully?

Weren't they best friends

"You didn't pick up Leo earlier today why? Those two mother and grandmother are trouble makers!" Celeste voiced out "he's here right now, isn't he?" Yuna rolled her eyes and walked on

She really didn't have time to chat with a woman over a decade older

"Mom!" Lester clenched his jaw in anger

His blood shot eyes, clenched fists and strained voice told a lot about how he was trying to control himself

"Don't be pathetic Lester" Catherine sneered "shut your stupid mouth up!" Lester snapped angrily glaring daggers at the woman he once loved with everything he had

Oh he regretted it

"You're just a pathetic loser! A coward" she sneered coldly "All you do is insult my son all day! What have you done all your life other than insult him? What good have you done as a mother to your son? Gosh I've messed up!" Irene burst into tears

"You're even more pathetic than your son! Once that old man gets Leo then all this will be over! You think I wanna look at your stupid faces! My son will be CNN recognized by his family and he'll take care of me for the rest of his life!" Catherine sneered "he'd realize how much good I've done for him by then" she added

"What good have you done Catherine! What right do you have to call him you son!" Lester argued

"I have as much right as you do coward! I pushed him out of my body! I carried that ungrateful thing for 10 months, if you guys wouldn't cooperate then I will take matters into my own hands and there's nothing you all can do about it" Catherine chuckled darkly

"I've failed Oceana again. I've failed my daughter again and I won't let you blindside me anymore!" Irene glared at Catherine hatefully

"Blindside you? You're just a greedy bitch! Now you're scared cause the opponent is stronger than you... how pathetic you are Irene" Catherine chuckled and Irene clenched her fists

"You aren't fit to be a mother! You're selfish, just as I am" Catherine smiled widely

"I won't let you harm Leo! Catherine I've given you your last chance! I won't let you keep hurting my son!" Lester stated

"Same coward who was hoping to get recognition from family and make something of himself through their connections" Catherine laughed mockingly "are you even worth being called a father….?" Catherine sneered
