340 The dress fitting 01 (1/2)
She obviously has forgotten the fact that her only daughter would get married in less than four months. In her eyes right now, her daughter was still small and needed to be instructed all the time or she would choose the wrong path. What if her
Ryn scooted closer to Jeremy, still feeling uncomfortable. Could they just leave this place? They could return once these two women were done with their excitement.
”It's okay, babe,” he coaxed, patting her hand comfortingly. He was shocked too but in order to be the knight in Ryn's eyes, he pretended not to be bothered with his mother's weird behaviour.
”Mother, can you stop giving us those weird blinking eyes look?” he told his mother.
”What did I do? Ryn, dear, are you scared?” Mrs Long looked at the younger woman with her puppy eyes.
Ryn looked at Jeremy for help. She did not like being stuck in this kind of situation. She did not like being asked and give that kind of look by them. Why couldn't they just treat her like they used to?
No wonder she was so reluctant to reveal their relationship!
”Mother, stop giving that look. Mika, stop pulling your face,” Jeremy decided to take charge of the situation and spoke out.
Both Mika and their mother shared a look before sticking their tongue out at the same time at Jeremy. They found that this Jeremy was being jealous over them. How couldn't he? Ryn was so close to them and would tell them anything.
Hmph…
Jeremy rubbed his nape awkwardly. Although he knew and used to Mika being childish but right now his mother was acting childish as well. This was embarrassing.
He glanced at Ryn but he saw her putting a mask on her face, made it hard for him to understand what was in her mind right now. She was looking so serene as if nothing was wrong right now.
”Anyway, I thought you want me to bring Ryn here for the bridesmaid dress fitting?” he quickly pulled their attention to the reason why Ryn came here.
”Oh yes. You just remind me,” Mika slapped her face with her hands. She actually forgot about it once she saw Ryn coming. She did tell Jeremy to pick Ryn up for the fitting while she handled grandma at home.
”Dress fitting?” Mrs Long's eyes brightened up at the thought. Her daughter's wedding was getting closer. Of course, she needed to be involved with the fitting too. She could not let her childish daughter ruining the wedding by going against the theme.
Jeremy watched as his mother went along with them. He cocked an eyebrow. He knew his appearance was not needed in that room. It was better for him to continue with his work. It was better doing something productive while waiting. He went back to his room after telling the butler to make coffee for him. He needed all the caffeine to keep his focus.
He entered his room and sat on the chair. His computer was still lit up but in sleepy mode. So he simply logged in back and found more emails to read. He sighed heavily. When would this busy life end?
He cracked his neck and his hands before starting to start working. Later, he would check on Ryn. Of course, he wanted to see her in the bridesmaid dress but knowing Mika, it would only be revealed on the day of the wedding, just like her wedding gown. No one except for Ryn and her mother could see it.
