"Jadden's? That you?" Jarvis looked closely at Jadden from foot to head, not expecting his brother's change.
"Who else?" jadden's short response was to stand up and face Jarvis and Floretta.
"You've changed a lot" Jarvis said.
Jadden suddenly pulled Jarvis in his arms. Floretta's hand on Jarvis's arm came off and he choked a few steps back. Fortunately, Floretta's balance is still good so it doesn't end up in the grass of the park.
Jadden actually watched everything from behind Jarvis' back. Unfortunately, he let alone the stiff Floretta while hugging his own arm.
Early Floretta heard from Stephanie that Jadden would return he was happy. Floretta confidently said she would attend the Meyer family banquet.
It's been ten years, there's nothing to worry about, Floretta thought.
However, as soon as he saw Jadden, was in close proximity and heard his voice, Floretta turned even grim.
Jarvis quickly untangled Jadden's embrace. During this and their not-so-familiar past as brothers, Jadden's sudden embrace makes Jarvis a little uncomfortable.
Jarvis realizes that Floretta is no longer next to him. He looked back and approached his wife. Jarvis didn't realize anything, he was just happy because Floretta first touched his arm earlier.
Floretta is embraced by Jarvis approaching Jadden.
"Jadden, did you have plastic surgery?" Jarvis continued his sentence with a question that got a laugh response from Jadden.
"Of course not. I just lubricate my eyes, change my hairstyle and get dressed, exercise to shape my body. Yes, here I am," he explained as he spread out his hands. Sometimes his eyes glanced at his own sister's wife.
Floretta is not interested in Jadden's story. His head just lowered. He wants to leave as soon as possible from there.
"It's worth 10 years to stay away, to change you drastically."
Jarvis' assessment made Jadden laugh out loud.
"Not everything in the past deserves to be preserved."
Floretta made an interesting gesture of a black casual suit that was also worn by Jarvis. It was like knowing his wife's wishes.
"Okay Jadden, Floretta doesn't seem to stand the cold." Jarvis could feel that the body of Floretta who was not covered in clothes was cold, he rubbed Floretta's arm slowly.
They left Jadden staring at the couple into the house.
"You all right? Your face paled" asked Jarvis, so he sat Floretta on a bench in the living room.
Floretta shook her head, she moved her shoulders, indicating that Jarvis would let go of his embrace.
Jarvis did so, instead kneeling before Floretta wanting to see Floretta's face directly from the front.
Floretta lowered her face, her mood was not good. However, thanks to Jarvis he can breathe a sigh of relief now.
Jarvis held up Floretta's chin with his finger. "You sad?"
Floretta shakes.
"Or are you mad at me for breaking my promise to come on time?"
Floretta nodded. That's the best answer, according to Floretta.
Jarvis chuckles. He held Floretta's fingers and held them. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, there's a little problem I have to solve." Jarvis touched his wife's face gently.
Floretta was not as rebellious as ever, though he was silent. His brain seemed to be hypnotized by Jarvis' presence.
Jadden did not expect that Jarvis, who had rejected Floretta outright, was now very comfortable and romantic with his wife.
"Hello all members of the Meyer family, please pay attention." Stephanie clapped her hand. All the attention was on him. Stephanie asked everyone to gather in the living room.
"Tonight we rejoice because Jadden Meyer has returned to the city of Heligore." Stephanie began her remarks with a happy smile.
"For us, your father and I, this is a very long-awaited moment, considering we are getting older and want to see the children near us."
"During this time Jadden lived in the country Kowabuda became a lecturer majoring in informatics, precisely at Gomahyt University which is in the city of Monortef."
"Let's welcome Jadden, the eldest son of Meyer's family." Family members applauded, Jadden walked to Stephanie's side.
"Give me your welcome Jadden" whispered Stephanie and shifted towards Jarish and stood beside him.
"Thank you for welcoming me home. Everything has been different from ten years ago, including me." Jadden's eyes looked at each member of his family.
"Jarvis has even had two cute kids with Floretta." His gaze stopped on Floretta who suddenly turned to look at another object.
"I left my duties as a lecturer at Gomahyt university. Here I developed the information technology consulting company that I originally started in the city of Monortef."
"I don't have the talent to take care of a woman's face like Jarvis with her skincare". Everyone laughed at him, not including Floretta.
"So morning, I had visited the grave of the mother who had given birth to me. He went home in a body under pain. There I promised to be a successful and successful Jadden Meyer. Not aided by anyone's wealth," flaming Jadden said, his words as if insinuating someone.
He raised a glass containing alcohol that is usually drunk when there is a family party. "Let's toast to Meyer's family."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them in a happy mood. Floretta followed that way too, even though the glass contained only warm mineral water.
After Jadden gave a speech that was given a standing ovation from family members, Jarvis had the idea to deliver a happy news from his small family.
"I'm going to announce your pregnancy" she whispered to Floretta, as Jadden embraced Stephanie and Jarish.
"No need," Floretta seemed to object to her husband's idea.
"What's the problem?"
"My pregnancy was young, we'll announce it later." Floretta shook his head and tugged at Jarvis' casual suit so as not to go to where Jadden and Stephanie were standing.
"Look Flo, now and then it stays the same, you'll give birth to Meyer's offspring again." Jarvis rubbed Floretta's cheek, ignoring his wife's request.
For Jarvis to have a third child is a joy for him, especially there is a different feeling in his mind than the experience when Dael and Rosalie in the womb.
"Please pay attention" Jarvis said, drawing attention from family members.
"Welcome back home to my brother, Jadden." Jarvis took the time to say it.
"For me skincare company is not only about women's faces, but also personally I appreciate women with any skin type and skin color. The old adage says 'women want to be understood', then my company will continue to grow in that field."
Jadden smiled at her, he turned his gaze to Floretta who was sitting staring flatly at Jarvis.
"On this occasion, I would also like to share with you the good news: my wife, Floretta, is currently pregnant with the third granddaughter of the Meyer family. Please support the family." The whole house cheered and applauded happily. Floretta replied with a smile anyway.
"As a sister, I hope Jadden finds a partner who is worth it to feel like a father and husband, not alone to feel the glory," Jarvis replied to Jadden's insinuation.
The family members laughed at it, they judged Jarvis and Jadden throwing jokes at each other. Meanwhile, for the two Meyer descendants, they like competing for their respective life stories.
Floretta observed the two sisters from a distance, they gave each other sharp gazes, despite smiling lips.
