246 Something is wrong with Mika? (1/2)

He went downstairs, heading to the dining room to have his breakfast. He did not have to go to Mika's to have breakfast. She said she would have her breakfast with her family before going to work with Jeremy.

”Jason.”

He was about to greet his parents when his name being called when he entered the dining room. He paused and looked at his mother. She was giving a sad look at him. Silently he groaned to himself. He bet that 'problem' had gone and complained about him. They were quite fast in this kind of matter.

”Good morning, father, mother,” he still greeted them and took his seat. A maid quickly came to send his breakfast. Today they were having porridge with fried bread. There was even a small bowl of fruits consist of strawberries, watermelon, apple, pineapple and orange. A cup of hot steamy mocha was included in his set of breakfast.

Jason reached for his drink and sipped it slowly, enjoying the taste of milk and coffee blended together. Then, he put it down and reached for his fried bread.

”I heard that you left the siblings at the club?” his mother started, narrowing her eyes suspiciously at her son. Jason was such a good child and always obeyed all their orders and instruction. She had no idea why this time her son was being rebellious. Didn't he understand why she told him to do what she told him to do?

”I gave them money for the cab,” he replied, reaching for the second fried bread. It was so fluffy and small, it only took him three bites to finish one.

”Jason,” she sighed heavily. She looked at her husband for help but he was busy eating. Fried bread dipped in porridge was his favourite dish to eat for breakfast, especially when his lovely wife made them for the family.

”Husband,” she called, trying to grab his attention.

He finally lifted up his head and looked at her. He covered his puzzles by reaching his hand toward her and patted her hand gently and lovingly. Then, he continued focussing on his food like nothing else mattered.

She gave him a look but he did not see it. His focus was on the porridge, digging for more meat and little cute carrots. Sometimes his wife would deliberately made a love-shaped carrot for him, buried deep in the porridge.

”Are you going to the office first?” his father finally broke his focus on the food and looked at him.

”Yes. After the meeting, I'm going to the airport. Mika is going to Switzerland and I need to send her,” Jason explained his schedule.

”Sit down, Jason. I haven't finished yet,” his mother ordered.

Jason made a show of checking his watch before looked at his mother with a hint of a smile. ”I'm sorry, mother. I have a meeting this morning. I'll see you tonight. Goodbye.”

Without waiting for her reply, Jason quickly rushed to the underground garage to choose the vehicle to bring him to the office today. He chose red Ferrari. It looked best against his outfit. He, after all, was going to meet the love of his life so he needed to be careful choosing a suitable car to match his outfit.

”I don't know what I should do with him, dear,” his mother sighed heavily once the son left the building.

”He's grown up. Let him be. Besides, I do think it is not good to follow whatever they want even though you feel sorry for them, especially toward your sister,” his father commented.

”But she is my little sister and I feel guilty. If not because of our relationship she would not...”

”Hey, hey, my love, stop torturing yourself. You are innocent in this matter. It was I who chose you. I did not choose her. The one I love is you, not her. Even, if you both are not siblings and you haven't appeared in my life, I would still not choose her. I would wait for you forever,” he pulled her into his arms and stroked her back gently, soothingly. Then, he pressed a kiss on top of her head lovingly. ”The one I love is you.”

She nodded and buried her face against his chest. She felt guilty for stealing his love from her little sister. If she did not insist on meeting him that night and confess her feeling, her little sister might not be running away from home and even joining with those bad guys.

The maids who were in the dining room waiting to serve them silently left the room. One of them even slowly closed the door to give the couple privacy.

Ryn stretched her arms and yawned. She looked around sleepily before buried herself deeper into the bed. The second day of filming the advertisement and she was exhausted.
