Chapter 458 - Just ignore him (1/2)

Confused with the sudden burst, Jason lifted up his head and looked at where Mika was pointing her finger at. His eyes widened.

”You?”

Ryn, also confused with Mika's weird exclamation, lifted her head and when she saw the other person, she did not even realize that her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. What... what was going on?

”You... what are you doing here?” Mika cried as she stormed toward the calm man who was putting down the newspaper he was reading.

”Why can't I be here?” he asked her back. He lifted the cup of coffee from its saucer and drank the still steaming black liquid. This trio really took their time to come here. He even finished reading 4 magazines and 3 newspapers while waiting for them. If they took any longer, he might start to do his work!

”You... you shouldn't be here. Why are you here?” Mika cried. She could not believe he would do this to her. How could he?

He put down the cup and stood up. He straightened the cuff of his shirt and smiled at the two confused and still silent people behind the fuming Mika. ”You're finally here.”

Jason blinked his eyes before he sighed and put his hands around the still fuming Mika. ”Stop being so angry, love. You don't want to get older faster, do you?”

Mika crossed her arms and stared at her big brother. She was beyond fuming. How could he be so despicable? With nary a word or a warning, he suddenly appeared here as if he deserved to be here, acting all lofty and mighty and expected them to greet him with open arms.

As if!

”You... get out,” she pointed at the door dramatically. She refused to take her pre-wedding photos with this huge lightbulb. She did not want him to critisize or comment about her decision. This was supposed to be her 'holiday' with Ryn and Jason. Not with him too!

Ignoring his little sister's tantrum, Jeremy's attention was caught by the still shock Ryn. He smiled tenderly as he tried to walk pass his silly little sister and Jason. Of course, that stupid girl tried to block his way but her fiance, blessed his heart, caught her properly and ushered her to one of the cushy chairs. Jason even called a stewardess to bring them some drinks in order to cool her down.

”Surprise. Are you happy?” Jeremy asked gently as he smiled at Ryn tenderly.

”I... I am not sure how should I feel,” Ryn blurted out without thinking.

”You should be angry. How dare he comes here to interrupt our little holiday,” came the shout from the still furious Mika.

”Kid,” Jeremy shrugged his sister off. She was not important in his mind. Ryn was. All he wanted to know whether Ryn was happy with his appearence.

Ryn glanced at the couple. Jason was busy making use of all his charms to pacify Mika. Then, Ryn looked at Jeremy with a slight smile.

”At least, I don't feel like a huge gooseberry between them,” she finally shrugged. She did feel weird being the extra in the trio although Mika's focus was almost with her. She felt sorry for Jason and did hope this trip could strengthen their relationship. But of course Mika's silly mind would always land on her and almost completely forgetting about her own fiance. That was why when they were going into the flight, she deliberately slowed down her pace and let Jason took over the space beside Mika. All was oblivious by her silly little best friend.

The stewardess, the same who served Mika and Jason, approached Ryn was she chose a seat beside Jeremy and served the couple a drink and hot towel.

Ryn took a sip slowly, enjoying the cold drink after she wiped her hands with the towel. Jeremy, oblivious with the stewardess still standing beside them, took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Ryn's face gently.

”Wait until your face is dry of the sweat before you wash your face,” he instructed as he kept his soiled handkerchief into his pocket.

”Hmm...” she nodded. She continued drinking her drink before handed the empty glass back to the stewardess.
