Chapter 475 - Spend the night together (2/2)

She glanced at the real Mika and found her best friend was leaning sleepily against Jason as the man holding her carefully so she would not fall. He chatted with his parents but never once let Mika go.

Ryn's eyes softened at the sight. She felt happy for Mika and wanted nothing more than for Mika to be happy forever. She did not want to see her best friend sad.

Her eyes landed on her boyfriend, Jeremy, and sighed a bit. She could guess what he wanted and it was not the same as his mother. Obviously, he wanted her to follow him back to the condo, contrary to what she and his mother wanted.

Oh, she felt a headache coming. She was sleepy and did not wish to face this kind of problem. Was it that hard to just send her home?

She stole glances at Mr. Long instead, hoping the elder man could help her. Surely he would understand what she wanted and would support her. She was only the girlfriend, not the fiancee or a wife. It would not seem appropriate for her to go to either Jeremy's condo or the mansion.

Please, uncle, please understand my silent wish and fulfill it, her heart cried.

Maybe it was coincident or fate but Mr. Long suddenly turned to look at the trio. With a smile, he actually retracted his steps to approach his wife. His long arm casually wrapped around her waist.

”Love, aren't you cold standing outside like this?” he asked his wife after smiling at Ryn. He did not even glance at his own son. His entire attention was on his lovely wife. Hmm... maybe he could coax her for another trip around the world for their fourth honeymoon. Hmm... right after their youngest's wedding he would start his plan.

Mr. Long hid his cheeky grin as he bent down to look at his petite wife.

He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her.

As Jeremy finally noticed how useless a boyfriend he was for not being attentive to his love just like his old man, Jeremy quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it around Ryn.

”Useless,” Mr. Long muttered under his breath when he noticed his son copied what he did.

He looked at his wife innocently when he felt the tug from her. She was warning him not to 'scold' and make their son sad.

”I didn't say anything, ” he lied with a straight face.

”You...” Mrs. Long sighed when she saw how her husband was behaving.

It definitely did not suit his age and image.

Mr. Long just gave her a grin. ”Mother is waiting in the car. Let's go.”

”Ryn?” Mrs. Long did not follow her husband but turned to look at the younger woman. She noticed that Ryn hasn't given her answer yet.

Ryn chewed her lower lip uneasily. She did not want to hurt her but at the same time, she was not ready to go to the mansion with the family. She really wanted to return home, her real home. She did not mind that her apartment was way too small compared to Jeremy's condo or Long's mansion. She felt free there. She did not have to worry that she would do the wrong move and say the wrong words.

”She can stay at the condo. Mika will return to Jason's,” Jeremy suddenly spoke out. He held Ryn's hand, refused to let go.

Ryn looked at Jeremy, speechless. He just did not say that, did he?

”Ryn?” Mrs. Long looked at the younger woman. She refused to believe Jeremy's word even though he was her son. She wanted to listen from her mouth. Was she really going to spend the night at the condo instead of at the mansion?
