Capítulo 28: Meeting future father in law
"Have I told you that you nag a lot?" "Yeah, only to those I care. Wait! You are the first that I nag and expand so much of my energy. So do you plan to compensate me?" he gave her his most sexy smile, he hovered over her like a hungry beast.
"Uh, you don't seem like someone lacking energy." she said while trying to squirm her way out of the cage he made using his body. "When it comes to you, my energy seems boundless." He claimed her lips with such ferocity that she could only accept her fate. Their activity was disrupted by his ringing phone. He groaned grumpily because of the interruption, he was just about to dive into her ample bosom.
"Hello!" he answered with a gruff. "Erk.. did I interrupt anything? Such grumpiness in the morning. Your father has regained his consciousness and is asking for your presence." Steven reported. "Mmph. Okay, I'll be there." Derek replied instead.
"I am going to demand a rain check later." He said huskily and gave her a deep kiss. "Can you accompany me to meet my father?" his previous confident and demanding demeanor disappeared in puff and was replaced with a timid appearance. Jade found his demeanor change hilarious. "Where did my valiant knight disappeared to? What have you done to him?" her voice had some humour in it.
"Here. Still here." he pouted. She patted him and said "Alright. Let's get ready." They headed to Queen Hospital which is only 2 mins walk.
Master Lee was surprised when the two of them entered the room. Derek was holding Jade's hand tightly as he spoke, "Father, how have you been and how are you feeling?" It was a rather awkward moment and the air felt rather stifling. The awkwardness between the two was very apparent. "I heard your actions saved my life" "I am glad you are better."
Observing the way this father and son interacted, if she did not know better, Jade would have suspected that these two most probably had undiagnosed Asperger's. She was brought back to attention when she saw Master Lee's gaze on her. "This is the woman I'm going to marry." Derek said with full resolution. "Hm. You are Jade Lu?" "Yes sir. I hope you have a speedy recovery and please do not stress too much as it is not good." She intuitively gripped Derek's hand tightly when she spoke to Master Lee. Her big and small movements were all observed by the sharp Master Lu. He nodded with approval this future daughter in law of his and approved of his son's protective nature. Since the kidnapping, his son had perfected the bilateral facial palsy expression. This moment, he could see variety and multitude of micro and macro expression.
"Hm, when will you hold the wedding? My condolences to you on the passing of your grandmother Miss Lu." "Condolences accepted. I haven't received a ring yet, Master Lee and I'm still waiting." "Derek, you brat, such high confidence level you have, want to marry but you cannot even provide a ring? Such embarrassment." He shamelessly acted as if he was embarrassed by his son's action. He patted his chest lightly. Jade could see that shamelessness runs deep in this family but she didn't have the heart to expose him. "Uncle, it's okay. He promised me he will present me a ring soon." She released Derek's hand and approached Master Lu's side and patted his chest lightly as if she was soothing a child that was showing tantrum. This action of hers earned her more brownie points. "Call me father once that brat put a ring on that finger of yours. It seems I need to teach this brat a lesson or two once I'm well." Derek could not help but applaud them for their acting and he was secretly please that his father approved of their relationship.
After spending around 30 mins, Derek sent Jade to the airport. "I don't think I can come over tonight, I would love to but I can't." "It's okay, I understand. I will claim my rain check later, okay?" He kissed her passionately on the lips, gave her a tight hug, she fits nicely under his chin. He then kissed her forehead gently.
Derek felt a part of him left as he saw her moving further and further away from him. He was surprised with the attachment he had for her. It seems he really need to finish up his work here faster so that he can return to her side. Ronald just informed that the rings would be ready by next week.
He then returned to the hospital to check on his father's condition and was welcomed by a scene of a young lady trying to forcefully enter his father's room and was making a ruckus. His timely arrival calmed the situation and the ruckus contained. He gave the lady an annoyed look and then he ignored her presence and focus on the guards. They explained that she claims to be the future Madam. Derek got even more irritated with the lady. "I didn't know that my old man was getting me a stepmother." His brows were furrowed as if he was in deep thoughts. The guards explained further that she meant that she was planning to be his future wife not Master Lu's. The guard was sweating profusely and was praying for his life.
Derek remained calm, "No wonder you didn't allow her in. Good job. Throw her out." "Derek... we've met once. You don't remember me?" "Excuse me miss, please refrain yourself. We are not familiar with each other. People might misunderstand. Guards, what are you guys waiting for? Throw her out!"
He furiously dialled a number on his phone, "Jason!!!" he roared. "How come my whereabouts have been compromised??! Find the culprit and make them suffer!" and he ended the call. He took a deep breath and gave Jason another call. "Sorry buddy. I had to deal with an annoying fly and I suspect someone is selling me out. Can you please help me investigate this matter? Thanks." "Annoying fly? Alright, alright. I will look into it and I demand an explanation later." "Thanks buddy"
Derek recognised April but unwilling to admit to avoid giving her any satisfaction that he knew her. April was embarrassed and angry that he did not spare her another look.
