Chapter 477 - Where to go? (1/2)
Mrs. Long was a bit frustrated when she saw her son still not given up on bringing the dear girl to his home. In her heart, being a boyfriend, he should learn to give in instead of following his l.u.s.t. She could guess what he wanted to do to the poor dear once they reached the condo.
Hmph... It seemed like she has to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him again.
”Ryn, my love, why do you insist to sleep at your place? Isn't the condo more comfortable?” she heard her silly son asked his girlfriend. She gave an invisible shake of the head at his words.
”J, do you need to do this now?” Ryn hissed under her breath, trying to maintain the calm on her face even though she felt like screaming at her boyfriend for being so childish.
He gave her a puppy-eyed look, hoping to melt her heart to follow him home.
But Ryn was no longer the old Ryn. Her heart was no longer melt easily at the right of his handsomeness. The wall around her heart, albeit no longer as thick as it used to, protected her from being hurt the second time.
”Please send me home or I'll take the cab, ” she insisted quietly.
”What are you doing there wasting time? Get into the car, ” the dowager's loud voice interrupted them from the conversation impatiently. She had been in the car for so long but these kids (even Mrs. Long she considered as a kid when she was getting angry) kept chatting outside as if they could not talk in the car or at home. She was getting exhausted. Her old age demanded her to lie on her comfortable bed and rest.
Mrs. Long, with a chuckle, went forward to grab Ryn's hand and pulled her toward the car. Luckily for her mother-in-law's interruption! Her son could no longer waste their time to change Ryn's mind.
Mika was unaware of what just happened. She sat beside her future mother-in-law and blinked her eyes at the family in confusion. What happened between them?
But pretty soon her heavy eyes failed to keep open and added with the comfortable air conditioner that was not too cold or warm, she started to get drowsy and almost fell as she started to shut her eyes. Jason's mother just smiled as she and Jason helped to adjust Mika's head to rest on top of her left shoulder.
”We should leave first. We'll send dear Mika home tomorrow, ” Jason's mother announced as she signaled her son to close the door. Jason looked at his future in-law and once he received their approval, he closed the door for the passenger side and went to sit in front. The driver already helped to transfer the bags into the bonnet while they were having their dinner.
The Long just waved at them. They were not worried about Mika being with the Wu family because they knew how much love the Wu had for Mika.
”Ryn, just sit beside me,” the dowager ordered as she patted the space beside her.
”Just drive,” he told the driver. He was hoping he could sit beside Ryn and coaxed her to change her mind but his own grandmother ruined his plan.
He sighed heavily.
The journey was quiet and silent. The elders knew the youngsters were still tired from the flight. They let the couple have their rest in the car, especially Ryn.
And Ryn used the time to sleep. She was so exhausted and could no longer hold it. She even unashamedly rested her head on Mrs. Long shoulder and dozed off.
The dowager looked at the younger woman, and then at her daughter-in-law. She c.o.c.ked an eyebrow.
Mrs. Long just smiled. She patted Ryn's head gently as the younger woman slept.
The driver glanced from the rear mirror. He was actually a bit confused. Where should they go actually? Should he drive to Miss Catherine's place or to Young Master Long's c.o.n.d.o.minium to send the couple? Or should he drive straight to the mansion?
Jeremy eyed the driver. He gave his order through his cold eyes.
