7 Extra extra butter popcorn

Hayden had no idea about the baby in the pretty lady's arm. However, in the room which was as big as his was. He couldn't help but stare at her. Unfortunately for him the baby stared right at him.

As a humble and a good baby, he knew that he was only staring at the pretty lady's baby because he was not immune to opposite sex. Not because he was attracted to the baby. No no . . no, that was only for the soul. He would not get attracted to the pretty baby.

He squinted his eyes when after a while the pretty baby didn't remove her eyes of him.

He tried so hard. But, Damn the pretty baby stared right at him as if she was looking at his soul. Like really hard at him. What was she doing?

"Lucy!!" A chilled voice rang in the room. It was too cold. Due to which, Lucy was not able to think straight. However, at that exact moment a cry rang out in the room.

Aren jumped up a bit. He was startled. He started pacifying Reina.

Finally, Lucy was saved. By the way, she did all of this for her baby. If Reina made two or three friends maybe her social anxiety would curb. But, as of this moment it felt like she was being helped by her daughter. Why did it feel like that Reina was wiser then her? As a mother she ought to be the wiser one and not the reverse. Lucy humphed on the side as her nose made a snort sound.

Baby Reina thought 'Mother could you stop being childish, it's all for your benefit.'

While Aren tried to coerce Reina into stop crying, Hayden felt like he had opened up a pandora box. He stared at Reina crying and couldn't help but feel pain. He knew by Reinas mischievous eyes that it was all a setup to save her mother. But, his heart still wasn't able to handle Reinas tears. He wanted to go to her, hug her, pat her back. He wanted to be in Arens place right now and he wanted himself to be the only one to be in Arens place.

These feelings were all new to Hayden. Inside his heart was screaming him to jump out from Alena's arms but his brain thought differently. His brain wasn't able to identify Reina as the soul. It stopped him from going further. This crushed Hayden from inside.

The room was filled with Reinas crying and the rest of the four people to be a part of Reinas scheme. What? Reina wanted to retain her happy family. That's why she acted. She had no idea of the turmoil Hayden was facing. For her, her mother was in trouble and as a kindhearted and a wiser person it was her duty to save her.

On the side, Emily couldn't help but 'tusk' under her breath. She was aware of Reinas tactics. That's what made Emily attracted to the baby.

However, one could see Alena holding Hayden tightly. She was jealous of Reinas parents. She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand. The poor handkerchief was miserably suffering the outcome of the bashful display of parental love. Alena looked away. She thought to herself of how she could pamper Reina if she became her daughter in law.

Alena's eyes sparkled. She had found the next motive for herself. She looked down at Hayden and smiled creepily.

She thought that no one would be looking her way. But, at that moment Reina has stopped crying and noticed Alena's creepy smile. She had now become aware of the hardships she was gonna face under Alena now. All the matchmaking, the romantic scenarios, Hayden being Hayden and Hayden's possessive streak.

"So, Lucy don't you dare runaway"

Lucy had just reached the door when she heard Arens stern voice. She turned on her heels and looked at Aren as if she had been caught stealing a candy.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to make Reina happy, so I got Alena here" Lucy smiled sheepishly.

"You know she had given birth to Hayden and Reina could make a new friend"

'Reina' that sounded really good to Hayden. He felt as if he had caught a golden bird.

Meanwhile, Lucy and Aren had their own conflict.

"Lucy, I told you that Reina has me" Aren glared daggers at Lucy. He was upset at Lucy. He knew that Lucy meant well. But, now that the boy had seen his Reina there was the possibility of Reina not staying with him. Inside Aren knew he was being impossible but he couldn't help that thought from floating in.

The room had somehow been divided into different factions. The son and mother pair were lost in their own world. While Arena d Lucy had their own Cold War going on now.

The main reason of the division was sweetly looking at them. She was kind of enjoying the theatric drama. However, she wished she could have extra extra butter popcorn. If only her baby teeth grew faster. She thought while sucking onto her thumb. Just like a royal baby looking at the subordinates.

After a while, Emily was not able to take in the happenings the adults were showing to little Reina. So she barged in.
