Chapter 538 - The paparazzi are having a blast (2/2)

”Okay.” Jeremy did not push Ryn. He looked at the loving couple silently. If only Ryn would allow him to treat her like Jason does to Mika.

He sighed a bit.

The Dowager, Mr. and Mrs. Long were talking with Jason's parents. The younger two couples sat together, not wanting to interrupt them, and just stayed at their table while waiting.

”It's ready,” Jeremy said after he received a message. He stood up and went to the elders to inform them. Then, he took her hand and headed to the exit. They were going to the gate where the plane was waiting for them.

The Dowager led the way climbing up into the place, following behind the elders, Mika and Jason, and lastly Ryn and Jeremy. They did not bring any luggage as the luggage was already on the plane, being carried by the helpers.

Ryn sat beside Mika and smiled when Mika focused her camera phone on them.

”Oh, it's live,” Ryn murmured when she realized Mika was streaming. She smiled for another second before she accepted Jeremy's hand and sat beside her boyfriend. She let Jason replace her to sit beside Mika.

”So far how many have agreed to come?” she heard the question when she and Jeremy sat at the table with Mrs. Long and Mrs. Wu, Jason's mother.  She watched as the women were looking at the name list.

”All agreed to come. Some of them have arrived at the hotel,” Mrs. Wu replied. She put on her glasses as she stared at the list. Mrs. Long looked at her son. ”The kids?”

”They're taking the next plane,” Jeremy replied. He already arranged everything. Some of the maids would follow to accompany the kids, along with two workers from the orphanage. He also ordered his team from the music agency to come along to help, especially to watch over the musical instruments.

”Are you sure she did not know anything?” Mrs. Wu asked in a whisper. The whole family knew about the surprise performance, all except for the couple. Even Jason did not know the extend of what Jeremy has planned for the wedding and the reception. They actually thought Jeremy was just inviting two singers for the performance while the others would only be music. Jason knew about the new arrangement hence the music idea.

”Yes,” Jeremy nodded. His little sister could be so clueless and with him always made her angry by 'stealing' Ryn now and then, she did not smell anything about the plan. Besides, whenever Jeremy and Ryn spent time for the practice, Jason and Mika were not allowed to follow along. Even for the recording for the show, the crew already promised that they would only plan that episode after the wedding so as not to blow the cover.

Ryn glanced at Mika silently. Mika and Jason were chatting while she was recording. It seemed like she was so excited about the wedding day was finally here. Well, almost. They were going to the venue and soon enough she would become Jason's wife.

”The rehearsal... how will you do it?” Mrs. Wu asked worriedly. They would have a rehearsal before the wedding and with the time left, what about the performance?

”Don't worry, Aunty. I have a plan for it,” Jeremy ȧssured the elder woman with a glint in his eyes.

Ryn looked at her boyfriend speechlessly. How could they do rehearsal without the performance part? She needed to check the microphone too or would someone else do it for her?

”Don't worry. Everything will be fine,” Jeremy ȧssured her when he noticed the worry in her eyes. He leaned to kiss her forehead gently before joining back the conversation with the elders. Ryn sat beside him quietly. She wanted to know what she could do to help once they arrived. As the only bridesmaid, she felt like she did nothing for Mika and felt useless.

The conversation stopped when a stewardess approached and told them the plane would depart. They pulled the safety belt and waited for a while before they were allowed to unbuckle and continued their discussion.

Ryn just kept quiet but at the same time took note of what she could do to help. She let Jeremy rest his arm on his shoulders with once in a while he would rub her back absent-mindedly. She did try to sit somewhere else but every time she tried to stand up, he would hold her. It seemed like he wanted her just to sit beside him even though she did not contribute anything to the conversation.

”Why don't you go to sleep, dear? You look tired,” Mrs. Long said when she saw Ryn's trying to fight her sleepiness. It was not as if the conversation was boring but her body automatically went to the sleepy mode when she was in a plane and did nothing.

Ryn looked at Jeremy and her boyfriend could only let her leave unhappily.

”Just let the poor girl breathe. It's not as if she can run away in this plane,” Mrs. Long told her son. She did notice how many times her son stopped Ryn when she tried to leave.

Jeremy just smiled weakly. He did not reply to the words, knowing his mother was right but he just wanted to feel her close to him. He knew after the wedding and honeymoon, she would get back to work and it would be hard for him to spend time with her with their busy schedule.

Jeremy narrowed his eyes as an idea hit his mind.. He glanced at where Ryn was heading and pursed his lips thoughtfully.
