Chapter 479: Future brother-in-law. (1/2)
A familiar scene was playing out among the group of friends. With Lucas at the airport and Jen giving him a teary goodbye. It was very early in the morning, and unlike last time, everyone was going back to their business after dropping him off.
”You look better than last time,” Lucas joked as he kissed her forehead before looking at her slightly watery eyes and Jen laughed at herself. She did not want to be emotional, but she could not help but feel sad at his departure.
”I'll see you in a couple of weeks,” Lucas said with a smile and kissed her lips. Jen smiled and nodded before she let him go. After Lucas said goodbye to his friends once more, he finally left for his flight. Jen let out a long sigh after she could no longer see his departing back.
”Let's go,” Alex said as she tugged at her sister's hand, who was a bit dazed after watching the plane fly off.
”Okay,” Jen said, feeling a bit down, but not like she was the first time he had left.
”We'll see you this weekend,” their group of friends kept chorusing before all their cars finally left the airport's parking lot.
Jen also got in the driver's seat of the large car Lucas had been driving and took off after Alex settled in the passenger's seat.
They had driven for about ten minutes before Alex was unable to stand the silence anymore. She looked at her sister, who was focusing on the road and pursed her lips together.
”Jen,” she called her, snapping her out of her thoughts in the process.
”Hm?” Jen responded and briefly glanced at her.
”Yesterday, Michael told me he liked me,” Alex said, and Jen accidentally hit the brakes. She was expecting her sister to say anything but that.
”Really?” she asked with raised eyebrows, and even though she wanted to look at Alex, she couldn't because she was on the highway.
”Yeah, I was more surprised than you were,” Alex exclaimed and proceeded to tell her everything that had happened between her and Michael the previous night.
”Wow, really? He just kissed you?” Jen asked, already forgetting about her low mood was after Lucas's departure.
”Yeah, then he told me he really liked me,” Alex continued, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes sparkling as she reminisced what had happened the previous night.
”And what did you say?” Jen asked her, curious about her sister's relationship status.
