"Good morning Mrs .May ." Kuea greeted the elder maid in his house who was preparing the food early in morning,

"Good morning, young master , what can I do for you ?" She smiling asked kuea .

"Nothing, just call me by my name , you don't need to call me master ." Kuea implies.

"No that's not -"

"I'm telling you myself, I don't like it when you call me master ." Kuea said as he passed a warm little smile of his .

"Okay , Kuea as you wish ." She said with a expression full of gratitude and genuine smile as she caress kuea's cheek gently with her motherly hands.

"Can I ask you something?" Said kuea .

"Ofcourse you can ." She replied.

"What was wrong with Hia Lian yesterday." He said all his attention to get her reply.

"Don't mind him kuea , you know what he is short tempered,temper issues sometimes take over him, he must be too tired by work or something else happened that made him mad in office,
a servent was mistaken so he let all of us out , maybe he just wanted to be alone allover , he seeks out time when he's angry or frustrated, unless he yell at anyone that come onto his way ." She replied with her warm and comforting smile, her voice was so soothing as if nothing happened .

"But that's not a right thing, he should not do this to everyone because of such a small Mistake." Kuea said making a small pout as his lips likes to repeat it .

"You might be hating him because of his coldness and anger , but trust me his heart is filled with endless love and kindness, he is a good person from inside, I believe that , I have seen that ." She said in her fullest of motherly love voice that was so soothing, and reached kuea's ear for moment he thought it was his own grandmother who's no longer alive .

"You're too good for him , he doesn't deserve you ! " kuea said being a kid .

"Aww, for real ? " she said .

"I was just wondering that why that grumpy got a good loving person like you , why not me !." Kuea said making a pout with his cherry lips .

"Come then give me a hug ." Kuea instantly hugged her , she was just like his grandma ,
After he pulled off from that warm hug ,

"You are exactly like my grandma ." Kuea said with a faint smile.

"Oh well ! You love your grandma so much ? " she said as she was cooking something.

"Mmm... I loved her , but she's no more alive ." He said as sadness was clear in his eyes but he thought maybe nobody notice his grief.

"I'm so sorry my son , I didn't knew that , so sad to hear this." She said leaving her work coming back to kuea as she caressed his head.

"No that's totally fine ." He said .

"But , I can love you like your grandma, as I do the same to Lian ." She said with a bright smile appeared on her face .

As kuea heard that tears of happiness escaped his eyes as he hugged her tightly.
She wiped his tears .
