Chapter 181 - The odd couple (2/2)

”Ah... just treat us invisible. We're too old to even care,” Mr Long mumbled but his twinkling eyes betrayed the monotone and gave his approval of his future son-in-law.

Jason grinned from ear to ear as he pulled Mika closer to him. He did not feel himself as an outsider when he was with them. He felt like he was one of them, one of the family members. Nothing made him awkward... well... of course he would not be able to do more than kissing lightly against Mika's rosy lips in front of her parents, or his. It would be inappropriate to make public display affection in from of the elders.

He was not that shameless... yet.

Maybe after a year or two, he would no longer care what others think and just do whatever he wanted at Mika. Why should they just limit their love in the bedroom?

Ryn smiled watching how happy Mika was being spoiled by her fiance. Then, she sighed, wishing she could have someone who spoiled her too. But then again, she did not think she was ready for any relationship now.

The car stopped in front of the entrance of the hotel. The valet opened the door and Jeremy and Jason walked out first. Then, the men helped the women getting out of the car. Well, Jason only cared about Mika while Jeremy tried to help Ryn. But Ryn did not accept his hand. Instead, Ryn turned to help Mrs Long getting out of the car.

Jeremy dropped his hands and sighed heavily. Guessed Ryn was still angry at him.

Jason quickly told the man at the door about his order. To celebrate Mika being discharged from the hospital, Jason booked a private room in this exclusive restaurant. He, with the help of his mother, chose the menu and even arranged for the entertainment to entertain them while having a meal. He was so excited for Mika to be able to go home, he went all out with everything.

”Well, at least he no longer wants to marry Mika immediately tomorrow,” his mother whispered to her husband when she was done arranging everything with Jason. Of course, she did inform the Long's couple about the celebration and even warned about Jason extravagance arrangement.

”That's the best we can do to stop him from his silly idea. How on earth he got the idea to marry dearest Mika in the hospital?” his mother sighed with a shake of her head in puzzled.

And the celebration started just as the group entered the room. A trumpet blared loudly and two waiters blew the blowers. Two more waiters pulled a small tube blowing colourful confetti onto them, mostly at Mika.

The room was full with nitrogen-filled pink balloons until the ceiling could not be seen. One wall, the main wall, was decorated with another set of golden balloons, this time spelling 'Congratulations, Mika' and 'I love you, Mika'.

Mika looked at Jason in shock, too stunned with so many things hit her one by one. Of course, she caught the 'I love you, Mika' on the wall. He loved her and spoiled her so much until she felt like she was not worthy of his love.

It was so obvious who was planning this 'party'.

”I love you too,” she whispered and was rewarded with a kiss upon her lips by him.

”Maybe we should marry them quickly. They can't seem to be able to control their hands,” Mr Long murmured at his wife, seeing the couple was so into their kiss, they forgot about everyone else.

”Hush... we have to plan the wedding carefully,” Mrs Long told her husband. She refused to make last-minute kind of plan for her baby daughter. Everything must be perfect. Nothing can go wrong.

When the couple broke their kiss, Jason took a jewelled tiara and put it gently on Mika's head. Then, his hand gently wiped the tears on her cheeks, ”Why are you crying? Don't cry.”

”I love you so much, Jason. So-so much,” Mika choked out, trying to stop the tears.

Jason smiled. He kissed both her lids, then at her tear-stained cheeks before her lips again. ”I love you too.”

”That's enough, kids. We're here to eat, to celebrate. We're not here to see you kissing and crying,” his father suddenly interrupted their loving moment.

”Uncle,” Mika choked out, trying to hide her reddened cheeks against Jason's broad chest.

His father smiled tenderly. He was just teasing them. Of course, he did not mind seeing his son's love life was so perfect but it did not mean he wanted to see their PDA all the time. He was not blind and he needed to eat before going home to have his own PDA session with his wife.

”Alright. Alright. Let's eat,” Mr Long took charge of the group and ushered everyone to their seat. He offered his arm to his wife and led her to her chair. He even pulled her chair like a gentleman. Even though this was a celebration for his daughter but it did not mean he could not use the chance to deepen his love with his own wife.

The only odd couple right now was Jeremy and Ryn. But Ryn did not care, not a bit when seeing the three couples using the chance to nurture their love.
