267 Why dont you live with me? (2/2)

”I think it's a good idea. Don't you think so, J?” it was like natural for her to ask Jeremy's thought. She looked at him with her big eyes questioningly.

Jeremy cleared his throat and looked at the elder couple. They were giving him a questioning look as well.

Although he was team Ryn all the way, these two were his future in-laws. He had to make sure to get their blessing as well.

He looked at Ryn uneasily. Her Ryn was giving him an expectant look.

Then his phone rang.

Silently he let out a relieved sigh. Saved by the ringing phone.

He excused himself and went to the living room to take the call.

Ryn looked back at her parents. Supposedly right now there would be a crying session because Ryn would return to the city with Jeremy. But no. When she woke up, she went to her parents and saw her father was still complaining about her 'evil' treatment toward him in front of the doctor.

”It's not that I don't respect you. You have to understand. I am so worried about you two. I can't see you as frequent as I like and you're too far away. I miss you so often but I couldn't see you whenever I want,” she choked out. She did not want to be a nagging daughter but she was frustrated.

”But we are okay here. You can focus on your work without worry,” her mother acted as the spokesperson of the duo and told her.

”But…”

”Sorry to interrupt your discussion but Ryn, what time are we leaving?” Jeremy suddenly interrupted. The phone was against his chest. It was obvious he was still talking with the person on the other side.

”Erm… in another half an hour? We're going to have our breakfast first,” Ryn decided after she checked the time. She could not leave later than that because she planned to meet with Mei Li.

”So I'll see you around five in the evening? Yes, at the Red Dragon Restaurant,” Jeremy told the caller as he walked back to the living room. He had to call his assistant after this to book the room at the restaurant.

Ryn sighed as she looked at her parents. Her eyes were wet with tears but she managed not to cry. But then, she sniffed and went to hug her mother.

”I really am worried about you two. Why do you have to stay here instead of at our home? I even prepare the main room for you,” she choked out.

”But we love living here. And we know you're relieved not having to eat organic vegetarian food, right? You can eat whatever you want without hearing any nag especially from me. And I know I don't have to worry about your health and safety because you are surrounded with people who love you,” her mother said, trying to stay strong for her daughter.

”But…”

Jeremy paused at the entrance of the kitchen when he saw Ryn in her mother's arms with her father looked uncomfortable. Jeremy hid a smile and went to the living room. He might as well wait for the family of three to settle their feeling.

Even when the four of them were having breakfast, Ryn and her parents were still talking. Ryn did not forget to remind them, especially her father, to eat medicine and vitamins. She also wanted them to go to the clinic or hospital whenever they felt sick. She even said she would increase the money she sent monthly, to the horror of her parents.

Jeremy tried hard to cover his chuckle watching them. He also enjoyed seeing Ryn forcing herself to eat whatever her mother cooked. Despite her hatred toward bunny food, she did swallow whatever her mother put on her plate.

Soon enough, he found himself watching them saying goodbyes. He already said his goodbye after bringing all the bags into the car. He started the engine and adjusted the temperature. Then, he opened the door and went back to them, without closing the door. He put a hand on Ryn's shoulder, signalling her that it was time for them to leave.

Ryn sniffed and let go of her mother. She looked at them with tears in her eyes. When would she meet them again? Her schedule was so full she had no idea when she could come again. Her plan of bringing them back to the city was vetoed by the two of them and they refused to hear any excuse.

The parents waved their hands as the car left them. Then, they turned toward each other and let out a heavy sigh.

”Finally she left,” her father murmured.

”Next time remind me not to call her if the sickness is not that serious,” her mother said as both walked back into the house.

Poor Ryn did not know her parents were not happy to have their nagging daughter spent the time she could nagging at them instead of them acting like real parents to her.
