The Law of Attraction

Luo was actually feeling nervous as she quickly typed a text message to her mother saying she was on her way home and would be dropped by the man she liked.

Her mobile phone vibrated as soon as she sent the message. Seeing it was her mother, her lips twitched and bit her lower lip. Her hands went cold a bit, and she nervously picked up the mobile phone.

"Aren't you going to answer?" Noah commented.

Luo cleared her throat before answering the phone call.

"You brat? Why are you telling us now that you're bringing a man? You did not even let us prepare for it first, like what food to serve and everything!" Her mother scolded that made Luo twitch her face more because as usual her mother spoke like there was no longer tomorrow without pause.

"Mom… Breathe… Inhale and exhale. Gosh, I can see your wrinkles from where I am. You will look more old, so stop stressing yourself out. Noah is a nice man and he can eat whatever you'll serve, okay. He is just a simple man like one visitor of ours, so please stop overreacting…" Luo quickly countered.

"You… Aren't you with him right now? He can hear you!" her mother panicked, making Luo chuckle as she said, "So what if he can hear me? He's not a prince, okay, so no need to treat him very special. Just act natural and be yourself mom. Don't panic that much. Now, you know why I'm not bringing any man at home?" Luo applied a reverse psychology to justify her sudden action to her mother of bringing Noah late.

Then she added, "I hesitated to introduce him before knowing how you and dad will act so exaggeratedly. So I will only bring him now since we are already in a relationship. I'll hang up now, mom… We are almost there. Love you…"

Noah smiled, seeing Luo's bickering with her mother. He could not help but admire how close Luo's relationship with her parents was. Very different from his. How nice could it be if only his mother was still alive? Thinking about that sorrowful past, Noah's gripped on the wheel tightened as his jaw clenched. His facial expression changed slightly while he was reminded of the past.

'It's that home-wrecker's fault!' he wanted to shout but tried his best to calm himself and erased that sudden foul memory of his.

"Sorry about me babbling too much. That's the only way to pacify their excitement," He heard Luo's comment as soon as the call ended.

"It's okay. I can see why you are one of the best lawyers…" he said in a jest.

Luo's eyebrows raised as she scoffed, "Why because I'm a good liar. Well, not at all. Besides, what I did is called a white lie since it's for you and their own good as well…"

Noah only shrugged his shoulders. For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt a bit nervous about meeting Luo's parents.

"We need to stop at a store to buy your parents some present," Noah mumbled, cursing on why he never thought of it beforehand and tasked one of his people instead. He did not even know what to buy. Good thing that there was an exclusive mall along the way.

"I told you… It's okay. You did not need to bring anything," Luo tried to convince as they went inside.

"First impression lasts…" Noah plainly answered. He pointed towards the saleslady and started picking things like some dresses and bags and also some more clothes for her father as well, as soon as Luo gave him their measurements.

Luo watched him buying the presents in a rush with an adoring smile. She thought to herself, "He is definitely a gentleman."

"He's making efforts. It's really a good sign Lana," she dreamily whispered because that was what Lana pointed out… For her to observe if Noah was making efforts to please her then it meant he had feelings for her.

"I wonder if it's only like or you are also falling in love with me already… Oh, this is frustrating," she murmured in a crumpled face because she was obviously the one falling so deep with him.

She smiled and walked towards Noah confidently when he finally signaled her that they should leave.

Finally, they arrived at Luo's house. Noah and Luo were actually greeted outside by Luo's parents, who were waiting outside.

"Aren't you two so excited? You can wait inside the house…" Luo teased and her mother rolled her eyes before it shifted to Noah.

She chuckled because her mother's jaw dropped seeing Noah. The scene was worth it, seeing her mother stupefied. The atmosphere became awkward, so Noah came to the rescue.

"Hello ma'am and sir. I'm Noah Yu…" He introduced himself with a smile and handed the paper bags to the helper whom Luo's father called.

"Noah brought it all for you," Luo announced proudly.

"Oh, you shouldn't bother son," Her mother with twinkling eyes whispered.

Luo shook her head because her mother suddenly hugged Noah as she added, "Oh son… You don't know how grateful I am that my daughter finally has a boyfriend. You just save her by showing yourself here as more than a present. I thought she would no longer have a boyfriend."

'He's already my husband mom,' Luo wanted to say with a giggle but then suppressed herself since like Noah said, they should do it slowly in front of her parents but the way she was seeing it… she thought doing it slowly would not be necessary since her mother was too mesmerized with Noah.

Her mother quickly pulled Noah inside without even bothering to greet her.

"Dad… She forgot to greet her daughter," Luo complained as she walked behind the two with her father.

She heard her father chuckle as he put his arm on her shoulder and said in a jest, "Don't worry… you always have me… you're the daddy's girl."

Luo rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Of course… I'm the only daughter…"

Her father laughed and pinched her nose. Luo smiled and made a face to tease him either by sticking out her tongue. They all were in the living room.

Luo gasped as she looked at Noah's back. She still could not believe everything that happened since it was quite fast. Last day she was drunk and now she got married. But then she knew that it would be the start of another chapter of her life… Her own love story which she never thought could happen like this...
