Convincing her (Jen and Lucas) - Chapter 512

Five minutes before the arrival time, Jen got out of the car and walked into the airport building. She was wearing a white sun dress and a pair of nude coloured wedge heels which made her look quite refreshing.

Fortunately, it was a private plane and she did not have to worry about things like flight delays. Jen sat there as she absentmindedly listened to the announcements in the VIP area while looking at decorating ideas online. She had wanted to have the wedding at the beach after seeing the catalogue the previous day and even though Lucas was hesitant about it, she still wanted to have a beach wedding.

As she was distracted, she heard someone call her name and she abruptly looked up. As expected, the one that called her was Hellen. Jen stood up and took off her shades as she walked towards the two women.

When she was close to them she was immediately enveloped in hugs. It was a heart-warming scene but also a bit funny because of how Hellen was considerably shorter than the both of them.

The nerves that had plagued Jen before their arrival had completely vanished after seeing them. If anyone had to worry, it should be Lucas, who was trying to avoid being teased like Ethan had been when he got Leanna pregnant.

When the three of them got to the large SUV, Jen was pulled to sit in the backseat with them since Hellen had so many things she wanted to ask her about. Fortunately, she did not probe on why they decided to get married suddenly.

Jen did not know that Hellen avoided the whole topic all together because she thought bringing it up would make her over think and maybe even change her mind later on. She would ask the miscellaneous questions after everything is done.

Diane who had experienced her fair share of troubles the previous day when she went to visit her parents was also not in the mood for questions. So she just sat silently as she listened to Jen’s calm voice filling them in on what things they have already organised with the wedding planners.

The three of them continued to chat as they made their way to the hotel. When they arrived, the two women were shown to their rooms and Jen left them to rest for a while before they went to see the wedding planners in a few hours.

Jen went back home and took another shower before climbing back to bed and covering herself with the fluffy duvet. She took out her cell phone and called Lucas since she wanted to talk to him.

Lucas was busy approving a bunch of proposals and was so immersed in work that he hadn’t even bothered with lunch. He felt a bit annoyed when his phone started ringing but when he saw that it was Jen that was calling, he couldn’t stop the smile that appeared on his face.

“Jen,” Lucas said the moment he picked up her call.

“When are you coming back?” Jen whined while acting spoiled. Lucas couldn’t stop himself from smiling after hearing her tone of voice. If she was next to him he would have already kissed her silly.

“I’ll get off work at five,” Lucas said and looked up at Martin who had taken up more responsibility since Lucas had decided that his work days will end on time as he was now a ‘family man’. So his single self just has to suffer. The only comfort he got from this was that his salary had increased a lot and he was going to get more bonuses.

“I’m back home already, we’ll be going to the wedding planners in about three hours,” Jen informed him as she hugged his pillow and buried her face in it. Even she became aware of how clingy she has become since her pregnancy.

“Then I’ll come and pick you up from there. We can go out for dinner then go back home, okay?” Lucas said, his voice softening a lot.

“Mmmh, it’s just been a few hours but I already miss you,” Jen complained and Lucas became silent for a while. He was a bit flustered because she wasn’t normally like this.

“Lucas?” she called when she didn’t hear anything from him.

“I missed you too,” Lucas said, his voice so greasy that Martin had to get up and leave the office. He did not want the image he had of his boss to crumble even further than it already had!

Lucas ignored him and continued to flirt with Jen until she said that she was feeling a bit sleepy so he ended the call so that she could rest and he could continue to slave away at work.

Jen hung up with reddened cheeks and hid herself under the covers because of how embarrassed she felt with how she had behaved. Despite her embarrassment, she was happy. With a smile on her face, she eventually fell asleep.

When she woke up again, only an hour had passed. She had another hour and a half before she had to leave so she went to take a quick shower to chase away her sleep before going to the kitchen to fix herself something simple to eat.

She turned on the music in the house as she looked through her fridge to find something to eat. She picked up an apple and went back to her room to get ready. She gave up on making food and just settled for a snack instead. She realised she was not that hungry anyway.

Since they were going to go out for dinner later, she couldn’t dress casually. So she carefully went through her wardrobe to find a decent dress to wear. She ended up choosing a dark blue dress that she hang up next to her vanity.

After finishing her apple, Jen sat down and started doing her makeup. Since she had a lot of time she was very meticulous with it. She took her sweet time styling her hair as well before getting dressed. Once she was done, it was already time to leave. She called her mother to tell her to go downstairs before she too left the suite.
