His mom
Alice spent the rest of the day either watching the television or talking to Kie now and then in the Garden. She felt bad to see Kie chained and in the head collar.
'How thoughtful of my husband to tie the dog because he was afraid of it?"
She gently put food in its bowl and said, "I'm really sorry about that. I'll try to help Enzo overcome his fear of dogs, okay so you can roam wherever you want in the house. Here, eat your meal."
Kie just woofed at her as she got back inside. Her phone rang a familiar looking number flashed on the screen.
Their happy and funny conversations were interrupted by the ringing of Alice's phone.
"I received your text messages. But there's something missing in it," Enzo said in a serious voice. Alice's heart skipped a beat and tried to recall her text messages.
"Huh? What's that?" she asked ignorantly and heard Enzo's long deep sigh on the other side.
"Alright, don't take too long outside and come home early. I have another important meeting lined up so let's talk again later. I LOVE YOU Alice." Enzo said giving heavy tone on the last words.
Alice suddenly covered her mouth, 'Oh it's the word I love you.' She did not include that on her text message to him.
She blushed like a teenage girl talking to her lover on the phone.
Alice responded timidly, "Yes I will. I love you too."
After the call, Alice's smile was as bright as the sun.
Meanwhile, at the company, Enzo had been called by his mother that she was back to Liverpool. She was staying at their house in Liverpool.
In the evening, he went there.
"Ryu, see whose back? My prodigal child has visited us. I wonder what this brat needs now but I guess it's his mother that he wants." Old Mr Clinton said with an arched eyebrow.
Ryu is there before him again to see his mother.
Enzo just laughed and winked at both men. Then he shifted his gaze to Rhu and said, "Here you are again with this hideous old man. I will talk to you later. Where's mom? I'll go check her first." Enzo said still smiling.
"Mum's on the kitchen. Go and look there" Ryu Ken said playfully. The latter just smiled once more as he looked towards Old Mr Clinton.
"Thank you two for giving me and my wife our privacy" He said before leaving the two men dumbstruck.
Old Mr Clinton and Ryu looked at each other with creased forehead.
"What was that?" Old Mr Clinton asked as he arched a brow.
Ryu just shrugged his shoulder and said, "That's the power of Love Old man. You've experienced that also and you were much worse, don't you remember?"
"You.... Little kid"

"Hi mum!" Enzo Clinton hugged his mother from behind. He was very happy to see her again. He hasn't saw his own mother for 2 years now.
The woman smiled and hugged her son back. She checked his body maybe he's got any wounds or lapses with caring, "Look how handsome you've got son. You even changed"
"Yes of course mum, how are you? How's your health?"
They both walked to the kitchen table and sat there. "You look just like your father, very handsome and manly"
Enzo smiled, "I doubt that"
"Aren't you going to have dinner with us dear?" sbe asked her son when Enzo got up to leave and bid his farewell to her.
"No Mom, my wife is waiting for me," Enzo said smiling. He had told his mother about the disappearance of his allergy.
Mrs Clinton sighed and said, "I guess I should consider dying since my son didn't want me to see his wife not to talk of grandchild"
Ryu didn't say anything but just smiled, nodded and kissed his mom. "Don't worry mum, I'll bring Alice to see you before you go back to Paris"
Mrs Clinton let out a long sigh. She was relieved that Ryu had finally found a woman he loved and really cared about.
She could feel it in Enzo's aura; her handsome and cold son was no doubt in love after all his coldness has been replaced by a gentle warmth that melted her own heart also.
She was glad that her son had married for love and not for business or collaborations by an arranged marriage.
She was so disappointed in herself for being stupid enough to push her own son into a cliff due of her stupidity and awful past.
Thank goodness that father has now stopped interfering in selecting partners for the children of the family and the boys could choose whomever they wanted, though he still set up and arrange for dates for them until they have chosen someone in their lives.
"Sigh! Now I have to cancel the lined up dates I had set up for you."
Being part of the Family was hard and she just hoped that Alice wife was a strong headed and strong willed woman unlike herself who was still weak and incapable of handling all the matters on her own and lacked determination in so many things.
