Chapter 460 - Challenge his patience

Jason finally made up his mind. He put away his plate and pulled Mika's plate closer to him. He cut the steak into smaller pieces and poured the sauce on top. He then stood up and went to his fiancee.

He waited patiently until his fiancee was done talking and started to feed her one piece at a time. He allowed her to speak with Jeremy.

"I have nothing more to talk with you. My food is getting cold," Jeremy finally said as he walked to the dining table, where Ryn was still enjoying her meal silently.

"Do you like the food?" he asked her.

She lifted her head and looked at him with the piece of steak in between her rosy lips. She chewed it with no rush before swallowed it.

"Jeremy!" Mika cried when she felt like she was being ignored by her big brother.

"Baby, don't argue with him. You need to eat your food. You don't want to get sick, do you?" Jason coaxed. He showed another piece of steak to her and allowed it to slip between her red lips. He smiled seeing her chewing it.

With a huff and a crossed arms, Mika stormed back to the dining area and sat beside Ryn. She gave Ryn a sad look but this best friend of hers was focussing more on food rather than the siblings.

She was too hungry to get involved with their silly bickering.

The siblings were finally silent when they realized she was too lazy to talk with them. She lifted her head again just to call for another set of steak and that was that.

Both shared a look and gave a long-suffering sigh. 

Ryn dabbed her lips with the napkin provided once she was full. She refused to count how many steaks she ate. All she could feel was happiness as there was no more noise while she was eating. The siblings were quiet. Jason was quiet too as he took his job as Mika's feeder seriously.

She looked around and saw the siblings were doing their own activity. Jeremy was deep in his doc.u.ments while Mika and Jeremy were cooing with each other. Ryn looked down at the plate she just cleaned perfectly and smiled. Her stomach was full and she was happy to do anything before they went to bed for the night.

She stood up and walked to the entertainment area. Instead of playing a movie or starting karaoke, Ryn simply took out her phone. She just remembered that she hasn't posted anything for her daily picture in her account.

It would be a waste of time trying to take pictures when everything was dark outside. So she thought she could find something to post in the entertainment area. She looked at the magazines and newspapers arranged neatly in the rattan basket. She pursed her lips.

Nothing seemed to be interesting enough in her opinion.

"What's wrong, love?" Jeremy asked. He noticed she was finally done with her meal so he closed the file he was reading and went to her. 

"Nothing," she replied. She sighed and looked back at Mika and Jason. The engaged couple was kissing and murmuring sweet words.

She did not want to disturb them just to take a photo for her Instagram account. 

Oh, what should she do now?

He watched her frowning and pursing her lips with a smile. He could guess what made her uneasy when he saw her screen was flashing with her IG account. She still hadn't posted anything for today's photo. 

"Why don't I take a picture of you?" he suggested. He wanted so much to take a photo of both of them to cement their relationship to the public and a way to shout to his love rivals that Ryn belonged to him alone. But, he knew if he was to suggest that, she would flat out say no. She did not like to be too personal in her account but at the same time did not want it to be too business-like. Photos of her selfie were so rare as she liked to post pictures of something else; what she ate or drink or just plain scenery. Of course, when she was working with any brand, she would make sure to promote her work to her fans. But it seemed like today Mei Li forgot to take pictures of her during her walk.

Ryn looked around before she chose to sit on the sofa. She looked straight at the camera seriously.

"Love, this is not a serious matter. Why are you so stiff?" Jeremy asked in amused. Of course, if he was to take a photo of her right now, it would be perfect but he did not really like this type of photo.

She sighed. She really had no mood actually but she still needed to post something today.

Of course, she was happy being full but taking a photo for her Instagram account with just a few hours left was not fun at all.

"Do you trust me?" he asked. His heart pounded so hard.

She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Why would he suddenly ask her that question?

He gulped.

"A picture... of us?" he asked, "together?"

She frowned.

"We... we did announce our relationship to the world so... isn't it normal... for us to take a selfie together?"

She looked back at where Mika and Jason were. Those two were so deep in their own world, they did not even notice what was going on between Jeremy and her.

"Love?" Jeremy asked full of hope.

She checked the time and let out a sigh. She patted the space beside her silently.

With a huge smile, he quickly took her offer and sat beside her. Without warning, he wrapped his arm around her and took the phone from her. With a skilled finger, he quickly took a few selfies of them.

"Why didn't you call us?" Mika cried as she hurriedly came to them with Jason following behind.

Jeremy frowned. Why didn't his silly little sister just focus on her fiance rather than playing the gooseberry between them? And it was not easy for him to get a chance for a selfie with his beloved to post to Instagram. So frustrating!

Ryn smiled widely as she scooted to give way for Mika. Mika plopped her butt beside Ryn and secretly gave a stare at Jeremy behind Ryn's back

Trying to 'kidnap' Ryn from her? Dream on.

Jeremy no longer has the mood to take pictures but the other three did not share the same thought. Jason took the phone from his friend's hand and adjusted it to fit the four of them. He took several photos so Mika and Ryn could choose the best to post. Of course, he would post it as well.

Jeremy still smiled even though he did not feel like it. He knew he was the odd one in the group as Mika and Ryn started to pose intimately. 

Ten minutes later, Ryn and Mika started to check the photos they took earlier. Jason and Jeremy moved to sit on another chair, not interrupting the girls.

"These three photos?" Ryn asked.

"Yes," Mika confirmed. She waited impatiently for Ryn to send the photos to her and then, she sent the photos to Jason. Jason would know what to do once he received the photos.

Ryn handed her phone to Mika, too lazy to tag everyone. She yawned and watched sleepily as Mika happily tagging and tapping her phone.

"Done for yours. Mine next," Mika announced happily as she handed Ryn's phone back. She turned her attention to her phone but instead of sending the photos directly with only the tags and caption, Mika got busy with editing the photos. She wanted to make them more cheerful.

Jason did not do what his fiancee was doing. He, like what Ryn prefered to do, just went straight with the tagging and captioning. Even his caption was short; the four of us.

Jeremy received the photos from Jason and pursed his lips silently. Ryn did not even choose one of their selfies. 

He glanced at Ryn who was holding her sleepiness. Maybe she thought it was still early for them to go to sleep.

He sighed and quickly posted the photos after tagging Ryn and Jason. He deliberately ignored Mika in his post because he was still unhappy with the thought of this gooseberry who kept trying to squeeze her way into them.

It did not take time for his fans to notice his post. Soon enough he received so many likes and comments but he did not read any of them. He only cared to see what Ryn put as the caption.

"With my best friend, @MikaLong"

Jeremy's face darkened. Immediately he knew whose work was this. 

Good. Very good.

He would remember this one and get his revenge on his little sister. He would not do it now. No. It would not be right to punish her when they were thousands in the sky. He would wait for the right time and that silly sister would learn not to challenge his patience.
