Laura arrived at Los Angeles airport. She was picked up by their family chauffeur.
"Welcome back, Miss Evans." David, the chauffeur greeted them while taking her luggage from her.
"Thank you, David," she replied and got into the car.
While on their way home, she asked,
"How is your wife, Mary doing?"
"She is fine, ma'am. She is so excited about your coming, she has prepared your favorite meals."
"Really! Well then, I can't wait to have those delicious dishes she always prepares." Laura said smiling.
They got to Laura's family house, which was a huge and beautiful-looking mansion. They had many maids working for them. The driver stopped in front of the mansion, Laura got out of the car while the driver went to take her luggage out from the trunk of the car. Laura's mom, Stella came out of the mansion to welcome her daughter.
"I can't believe that I finally get to see my daughter after all this time."
Laura smiled and went to hug her mom.
"Hi, mom. I've missed you so much."
Laura felt so happy feeling her mom's touch and warm embrace once again.
"You know we have a lot to talk about."
"Mom, please not now. I need to rest, I'm really tired right now."
Okay, sweetie. Just go shower and come have lunch."
"Okay, mom."
Laura went into her room waiting for David to bring her luggage to her room. While waiting for him, she decided to give Scott a call to let him know that she had arrived in LA.
"Hey, babe" she began,
"Hey, beautiful. I've been waiting for your call."
"I just arrived and I'm about to take a shower."
"I wish I was there with you. You know what I mean." he teased.
Laura started blushing just thinking about what they usually do together while showering.
"I'm missing you already,"
She was on the call when David walked in with her things.
"I have to hang up now. I'll give you a call later, okay?" Scott said.
"Okay, I love you."
"Love you too, beautiful." And he hung up.
Laura thanked David and dismissed him.

After having lunch, Laura sat in the garden with her mom. They were having a little chat about friends and things they had done in each other's absence.
"Mom, how's the company doing so far?"
"Everything is going smooth and fine, it's just that your presence is also needed there, Laura... I won't always be around to take care of it. Besides, it's yours and I'm supposed to be resting at this age, you should know that."
Laura felt hurt by what her mom just said but she knew that was the truth. She has been away from her dad's company for too long.
"I know, mom. It's just that I want to expand my own business."
"And let your dad's efforts go to waste?" Her mom asked.
"Honey, you have Daniel to take care of that, so why don't you come down here and take care of your dad's company or are you going to tell me that your company hasn't grown enough?"
Laura knew where her mom was heading with this discussion.
"I will when I'm ready." She replied to her mom.
"And when will you be, Laura? You've been saying this for some time now... Tell me, does this have anything to do with Scott?"
No, mom. It's my personal decision."
"I won't pressure you into doing anything but I'll be honest with you, Scott is your distraction, honey. You're being deprived of making your own decisions because you care about what Scott would say, think, or feel thereby forgetting about yourself... I know I can't do anything to change your mind when it comes to Scott, but I want you to realize that you're neglecting a lot of things because of him."
"Mom, this isn't the kind of discussion I intend to have with you. I thought we were going to have a good time and not bring up these sorts of issues?" Laura asked her mom because she couldn't understand why her mom didn't like Scott one bit.
"I know, love. I know... I just care about you and your well-being and I don't like the Laura I'm seeing now."
What are you trying to say, Mom?"
"Honey, you aren't the same anymore and I want my Laura back. I want my baby back."
Laura was touched by her mom's advice but she didn't feel she had changed, she felt that she was a better person now.
