Chapter 82 Late dinner (2/2)

~*~*~*

Ryn stirred the soup slowly. It was almost done. She glanced at the man who was busy making drink.

”Don't put too much sugar, ” she reminded.

”Yes,  Milady, ” Jeremy smiled.  He brought the jug and glasses to the dining table where Mika was busy arranging the cutleries.

”Rice is done.  Go take it, ” he told his little sister.

”Hmm... ” Mika skipped happily to the kitchen.  She could not wait to have their dinner.

Ryn cooked for them!  It had been ages she tasted Ryn's cooking.  The smell from the kitchen made her stomach growled.

Oh my God,  please let her eat now!

”The vegetables and meat are done.  You can bring them out, ” Ryn told Mika.

Mika,  instead of following Ryn's intruction,  skipped to the dining table happily like little kid and tapped Jeremy's shoulder,  ”Ryn wants you to bring the dishes out. ”

He did not question her words,  just walked toward the kitchen.  He knew it was impossible for Ryn to ask him to do it when she has Mika in the same area but knowing how lazy Mika can be sometimes,  he just gave in.  Of course it would help to give more brownie points to him for being so helpful.  He grinned at the thought and quickly just did that.

Ryn did not question why it was Jeremy who brought the dishes out.  She simply brought the soup out carefully and placed the huge bowl to the centre of the table.  Then,  without even asking,  she started to scoop some portion into small bowls to distribute to each of them.

It was a peaceful dinner,  albeit quite late.  They had to go to the nearest convenient store first to buy the ingredients when Ryn agreed to cook their meal. Then, they spent the time preparing and cooking according to the menu,  well,  mostly Ryn did the cooking while Mika and Jeremy helped with the washing.  All in all,  the day went away peacefully.

”Later you can send me home, ” she told them after they were done doing the dishes.

Well,  this time it was Jeremy who did the work.  He told the girls to watch the television or something and just let him do the dishes alone.

”Why can't you stay for the night?” Mika cried.  She had already planned to have pyjama party tonight with her beloved Ryn.

”It's getting late and I need to sort my luggage, ” Ryn replied simply.

”You did say it's late.  Just stay for the night.  Tomorrow morning Jeremy and I can send you back after breakfast. ”

Jeremy nodded at Mika's words.  They could have breakfast first before they send her home.

Ryn chuckled seeing Mika's puppy face. She hugged her best friend tightly.  ”How are you going to be Jason's wife if you are this spoiled? ”

”If he loves me,  he has to accept me as I am.  Don't you love me? ” Mika asked worriedly.  She was not worried about Jason,  her fiance,  but she could not picture her life without Ryn in it...  Again...

”I love you.  We all love you, ” Ryn pinched Mika's tiny nose playfully. ”Fine.  I'll stay for tonight.  Tomorrow send me home. ”

Jeremy silently blew out a relieved sigh.  He did not even realize he was holding his breath when he watched Mika and Ryn's conversed.  Good.  He still had time to...

Mika shrieked and hugged Ryn tightly.  Then,  before either Ryn or Jeremy could say anything,  Mika pulled Ryn upstairs to her room.  They were going to have their pyjama party now!

So happy!

Jeremy shook his head in bemused.  Guessed he just lost in his little sister's quick hand.
