245 Crashing the party 3 (2/2)
”Who is she? A crazy woman?” Mika asked.
Jason chuckled hearing the label Mika gave to Ella. Yes. It was a correct word to describe that woman. Also, a gold-digger.
”My cousin. Apparently mom has a long lost little sister and that family uses her guilt to take advantage of everything.”
”Why would your mother has guilt? Did she make her sister run away?” Mika frowned. She finally remembered where she met that woman. The day she slept at Jason's, she saw a family sitting at the living room but she did not put much focus on them. She was too tired to think of anything else and just wanted to go home. She did not even remember the name they gave when Jason had to introduce her to them before he sent her home. So, they were his relative, huh?
”If according to her story, she did try to change her mind but you know how mother is. She gets guilty easily. She thought she did not work hard enough to coax her sister not to run away,” Jason sighed heavily.
”Aunty is very kind,” Mika murmured, knowing perfectly how his mother would react in this kind of situation.
”Hence why their gambling debt is paid and I have to help improve their children's social status,” Jason muttered. His eyes narrowed at the thought of how that family reacted when they were in his house. And then how Tank looked when he saw the car. Greed. Full of greed. All of them were gold-diggers!
”Gamble, huh? So there is a huge possibility for your family to pay the next debt as well... for the rest of their life?”
Jason froze. Luckily he managed to stable the car. He glanced at his fiancee, did not expect her to share the same thought as him. Why didn't his parents think about this too?
”Your parents didn't think about that, right?” she asked him. She could see how he reacted and did not believe it was because he did not think about it before. If he did, he would not think of this family as greedy and eager to show his disgust to the family behind his parent's knowledge.
”Jeremy and you think the same thing too,” Jason murmured. He was unhappy knowing how deep his mother's guilt until unable to think instead of saving her little sister's family but in the long term or maybe in just a short time will ruin the family.
”Jeremy and I are siblings. Of course, we will think alike,” Mika pointed it out dryly. ”And because we are soul mates and true love, we share the same thought as well.”
He smiled. He reached for her hand in one hand to kiss gently while another hand holding the steering wheel firmly. ”No wonder I love you so much. You understand me.”
”True mates and soul mates, remember,” she smiled widely.
He smiled. The frustration from having to spend time with the siblings already disappeared. In fact, he could not wait to spend more time with Mika alone.
”Where are we going anyway?” Mika asked. She looked at the road but still could not figure out where they were heading to.
”Somewhere we can spend the time together without any interruption,” he grinned.
”Like that explains a lot. But I don't mind. I love surprises,” Mika clapped her hands excitedly.
”And I love surprising you, my love.”

Ella did not know how to handle this. All the girls saw Jason left her for another woman. And Jason did not even care he was embarrassing her in front of her ex-classmates.
She stood there for almost fifteen minutes before slowly made her way back to the table. Whether she liked it or not, she had to face them.
”So he's not your rich boyfriend, huh, Ella?” a woman asked dryly.
”So it was all your fantasy that he's your boyfriend?” another asked and others giggled.
”Haven't you learned from school, Ella? You should stop pretending to be someone you're not. It's embarrassing even to us,” Jojo, the birthday girl laughed.
Ella kept her arms down but her hands were gripped tightly. She was ashamed. She did not know where to put her face. Jason should not treat her like this. He was not supposed to do this to her. How could he?
