258 Where did she meet him before? (2/2)

Hence, they were helping with the dowries (obviously) which were quite a difficult task when the daughter-in-law was a talented jewellery designer and fashion designer. So far they managed to find half of what they planned. Luckily for them, Jason knew what Mika likes and helped to make the list.

And now Min came here to talk about her birthday party. She tried not to make a face about the party. Why should she invite others when she could spend her birthday with her husband and son, and future daughter-in-law?

\”Aunty is here to help your mother here to plan her birthday party,\” Aunty Min said with a huge smile.

A party? Jason looked at his mother with a cock an eyebrow. Since when did they have a party for a birthday celebration?

His mother just giggled awkwardly. She ran her eyes from looking at him. Her cheeks reddened.

\”Ella here has a lot of experience planning and conducting a party, especially a birthday party. Tell us, Ella, about your vision,\” Aunty Min nudged her daughter to speak.

Ella straightened herself and smiled sweetly. She took out a notebook and started to read it loudly. But as she read, the face of the mother and son changed.

A luxury party with 100 guests? And the party would be on a cruise? A masquerade party on a cruise?

\”I'm sorry to interrupt your lovely idea but I have to go now,\” Jason interrupted suddenly. He could no longer listen to this crazy idea.

Ella's round eyes looked at Jason in shocked. She was trying her hard to show how clever she was in front of him but he wanted to leave?

\”Excuse me, everyone. Bye, mother,\” Jason leaned down to kiss his mother's cheek before he quickly rushed toward the door.

The driver was already prepared the car he chose. He quickly went into the driver seat and drove the car away. Finally, he was out of those two 'white foxes'.

He reached his destination in two hours. He got out of the car and headed into the entrance. The key was left for the valet to park the car.

When he entered the room, his friends were already there. He smiled at them.

\”Finally you're here. What took you so long?\” one of them asked.

\”Something happened at the house. Anyway, I'm here, right?\” he grinned sheepishly.

\”Drink these 3 glasses for punishment,\” another one said holding a glass of beer.

Knowing it was his own fault, Jason drank his punishment without argue. He was not angry at all even though everyone in the room knew he was not good with alcohol.

\”So, where is Jeremy?\” he asked when he noticed they were missing another man in the room.

\”He couldn't make it. He has to go to the studio or something,\” the man who punished him with the beer said with a shrug.

\”I should be busy too preparing my wedding,\” Jason mumbled.

\”I thought your family handle everything,\” another scoffed.

Jason just grinned sheepishly as he rubbed his nape. He had done all he needed to do. His mother would help him preparing everything. For the suit, he would be waiting for Mika to help him. He believed in Mika's taste and knew she would be the one designing his suit so it would look like a pair with her wedding gown.

\”Hey, I thought we're here to celebrate me. Why it seems like you're celebrating Jason's wedding?\” a man wearing a golden shirt muttered but those who heard him just laugh.

\”Of course we're here to celebrate your birthday.\”

\”Am I late?\”

Everyone turned to look at Jeremy who just entered the room. Jeremy looked at Jason whose cheeks already red from the beer.

\”How many bottles have you drunk, Jason?\” Jeremy asked as he went to his future brother-in-law and patted the rosy cheek.

\”Next time wait for Mika to drink for you,\” Jeremy said with a chuckle and went to gulp down 3 glasses of beer for his late punishment.

\”The Longs are really good with alcohol,\” one commented dryly seeing there was no redness on Jeremy's face.

\”Of course,\” Jeremy snorted.

\”I thought you couldn't come today,\” the birthday boy asked.

\”A chance to drink for free? Never refuse, man,\” Jeremy replied and was replied by laughter from the others.

They continued drinking and chatting with not even a woman in the room. It could also be considered a reunion for the group as they all were in a basketball team when in high school.

\”I can't believe Jason would get married to Mika. And you will become his brother-in-law,\” one of them commented.

\”I thought he's already my brother-in-law the first time he slept with Mika,\” Jeremy muttered, \”I almost killed him until I remembered he could bring that devil out of my life.\”

They all laughed at Jeremy's snort. They all knew sometimes Jeremy called his little sister devil for always interrupting his date with Ryn when they were still in school.

\”It was the week before prom, right? I remember how hard you threw the ball to Jason until the coach had to make us pulled you two apart.\”

\”Who taught him to call me big brother and the proceed telling me happily he slept with my little sister the night before?\” Jeremy groaned at the memory. But that day, once Mika knew he almost 'killed' Jason, she made it her job to 'punish' him in every way she could, even pulling Ryn in her team. And his poor innocent Ryn just followed Mika's order until she got sick of playing the game and focus more on her study.

It was a week of hell for him but afterwards, he accepted that the poor fella was head over heel for Mika and accepted him as his future brother-in-law.
