Chapter 117 - My girl (2) (2/2)

”Do you mean me, mother? I am on my great path and with her. ”

He nodded to Wirata. Wirata knew by their gestures that it was the way they talked to one another. Nothing serious but it was how they showed love and sincerity within them. And she acknowledged that Stefan was like his mother in the way of their open and direct speaking. No hidden agenda.

Jacqueline looked at her son in his relaxing lying down and turned to look at Wirata, who was looking at him with smiled on her face and there was a lot of care in her beautiful eyes. Jacqueline lighted up a smile to see the lovely display.

”I hope you don't mind, Wirata. My son and I, we just talk like this. It's run in the family.”

Jacqueline said again to Wirata. She liked the young lady and felt the love flying in the air since the young couple got off the car. Jacqueline would be glad if Stefan finally found his match and soulmate. But who knew the future. She could only pray for the best.

”I don't mind. Please don't worry. I am used to this style of talking.”

She said and the person on the couch sent her a glance. Because he knew she meant him, the man who said things without thinking first.

Wirata felt relaxed and no more feeling nervous. She gave the puppy a small bone to play with and he took it to sit near Stefan and started to nibble it.

Wirata missed Sam. Sam was a gentleman through and through. Even though he was cheeky sometimes but his true personality was the finest man every woman could dream of.

But his brother was a different story. Stefan Mackenzie did not only have a killing look but killing words. His sharp tongue could slide you into pieces if not careful. That was the impression he gave to people who did not know him well and he did not care to show off his fine side. It seemed he liked to show it only to people he cared about and that was it.

And to Wirata, he chose to show his insidious side with her most of the time. But now she saw when he was with his mother. He was relaxed, gentle and easy-going. He liked to tease her and kissed her cheeks and hugged her a lot. That was why it made Wirata missing Sam.

However, time was the best tool to proof everything. A man was like a book. We should not judge it by its cover. Especially, the book named Stefan Mackenzie.

To Wirata's eyes, the cover itself had a demon in the form of Satan. On his head was wearing horns. His eyes were red with fire blazes. So scary that she would be afraid to pick it up to open the first page.

But if you could bear the cover image and hold your breath then read. There might be some interesting things in there and might not be too bad after all.

Wirata was on the front page now, so she still was not sure what to find in there. Probably she might have to give the book a little more chance.

”Good job you are used to it... My son, he likes to think he can say anything he thinks in his head, especially, the negative one.”

Said the mother.

”Oh, mother, please give me a break. Wirata will be here quite a while to hear you burn me to death and she might help you to do so as well. Since I am not good enough in the eyes of my mother or anyone else. ”

The harsh voice protested and sent Wirata a dark glance. Jacqueline had to smile and shook her head.

”Alright. I will have a break myself. Because I missed you so much and I had lots of things to say. That how a mother shows her love to her son. Let's have lunch. Wirata must be hungry. I have prepared some of your favorite dishes, son. If you still remember and haven't changed your liking yet.”

She said to her son as she knew how quick Stefan got bored with things. But for food, she just made a teasing with her beloved son. She knew he loved her cooking. And then Jacqueline turned to Wirata.

”And I hope you will like my cooking as well, honey. Let's move to the dining room.”

Jacqueline said and rang a bell. Only less than a minute, two servants came in.

”Take these suitcases to the Master's room.”

She ordered. The servants bowed and hurried to take the suitcases up the big stairs.

Stefan sprang up at the same time as his mother and Wirata stood up. He walked to stand in the middle, put his arm on Wirata's shoulders and another arm around his mother's waist. He kissed his mother on her cheek and then turned to Wirata.

She sent him a DON'T DO IT warning look, but Stefan bent down and gave her a quick kiss on her mouth without care.

Wirata blushed and Jacqueline turned to hide her smile. They then walked towards the dining room next to the living room.
