My Wild Rose's

FAMILY LUNCH

"Siang Ad," Jeremy who saw the figure of Ornado walking closer to the table where they were sitting at the Japanese cuisine restaurant immediately smiled and greeted him. Cladia who was sitting in front of Niela who was sitting next to Jeremy with her back to Ornado immediately turned her body to see the figure of Ornado who had just arrived. Without waiting, Ornado immediately took a seat next to Cladia, facing Jeremy.

"Hi Ad, it's good to have lunch together here" Ornado smiled at Niela's greeting.

"What do you want to order, Ad? Me and Niela had already ordered food, only Cladia and you hadn't," Hearing Jeremy's question a glance Ornado glanced at Cladia who was flipping open the menu book before him.

A waitress stood beside their table, ready to record their order via the tablet that was ready in her hand.

"I order shabu-shabu (a nabemono type Japanese food in the form of very thin slices of beef, dipped in a special pot of hot water on the dining table, and waving it in the gravy for a few times before it is eaten with a sauce containing sesame called gomadare or ponzu) meat only," Jeremy who was looking at the menu book raised his head to hear the words of Cladia who usually always ordered sushi (a Japanese food consisting of rice formed with side dishes in the form of seafood, meat, raw vegetables, and raw food, it has a sour taste soft because it is flavored with a mixture of rice vinegar, salt, sugar) or sashimi (a Japanese food in the form of seafood with prime freshness that is directly eaten raw with flavoring such as soy sauce, grated ginger and wasabi) in this restaurant.

"Meat shabu-shabu? You didn't get Cla's message wrong?" Cladia shakes her head to answer Jeremy's question, because with her pregnant condition now as much as possible she should avoid raw food for the safety of the baby in her stomach.

"No, sister, today I want to try this restaurant's meat shabu-shabu," Jeremy knitted his eyebrows, really strange, because since long ago in any Japanese restaurant Cladia would only order sushi or sashimi.

"Let me just order sushi salmon belly and sashimi fatty tuna, so that later Cladia and I can share," Ornado immediately mediated the two of them, cladia's eyes glanced at Ornado who signaled to waitress to record their order.

Ah, you Al, if you order that you're the same as pranking me, you don't know how I like your choice of sashimi and sushi, my favorite meal of the restaurant, anyways, Cladia grumbled inwardly, but of course she could not prevent Ornado from ordering it for no apparent reason.

"Eh, Ad, did Cladia tell you? This afternoon I borrowed her for a while to meet our EO," Hearing Niela's question, Ornado immediately nodded.

"So morning on the phone he told me that after lunch he would take you to your EO. How are your wedding preparations? Is there anything I can help you with?" Niela glanced at Jeremy hearing Ornado's question.

"There's Ad," Jeremy said with a suspicious smile on his face as he looked towards Cladia who immediately put on a tense face because he felt that her brother would be working on her soon.

"Just help me one thing, on my wedding day, if you want to help me and give me a gift, I want to hear the news about my niece-to-be" Cladia glared at Jeremy's words, while Ornado who had just sipped his drink immediately choked, his face flushed a little. Jeremy immediately laughed happily at Ornado's reaction.

"Punishment for you because of this case was Ad morning," Jeremy picked up the glass in front of him and casually sipped it with a satisfied face, while Cladia directly thrust a tissue towards Ornado who directly grabbed it to clear her lips.

"What happened this morning?" Cladia looked towards Ornado who was slightly glaring towards Jeremy who was smiling triumphantly.

Shit, you really fucked me Jer. Ornado cursed inwardly as he turned his deadly gaze away from Jeremy and turned his head towards Cladia, of course with a glance that instantly turned soft.

Jeremy and Niela smiled, looking at the way Ornado looked at Cladia lovingly.

"Nothing, I was wrong, often forgetting Jeremy's position as my brother-in-law, not just a business partner. In the future, however, I must always remember to honor her as more than just an ordinary business associate, if not to have her take back her sister from me" Cladia frowned, gritting her forehead, the sign that he really doesn't understand what Jeremy and Ornado just had to say. Niela who heard the story from Jeremy this morning just smiled at the actions of the two men.

"Ah, come on, don't think too much about Cla. Such was the action of the men when their childish nature appeared, no one would give in," Niela grabbed Jeremy's hand, placed it on the table and patted him.

"Do you want Cla?" Suddenly, without a doubt Cladia, Ornado thrust her half-serving sashimi more towards Cladia, quickly shaking her head and sliding back the sashimi away from her face, although in his heart he actually wanted to taste at least a piece of sashimi in front of him.

"No, today I'm not eating sashimi" Cladia said, trying hard to act appropriately and not gulping her saliva. Ornado looked at the face of Cladia who seemed fun eating her shabu-shabu because she wanted to distract her from the sashimi in front of her.

"Then let me eat it, then" Jeremy directed his chopsticks at the sashimi in front of Cladia, but quickly the Ornado chopsticks blocked the chopsticks Jeremy, Cladia and Niela who saw the incident smiled amusedly. Watching their chopsticks clamp one piece of the same sashimi. Cladia directs her chopsticks there, hitting her chopsticks at Jeremy and Ornado's chopsticks, signalling that they remove their chopsticks from the sashimi in front of her. Ornado and Jeremy looked at each other before finally pulling their chopsticks together.

The chopsticks Cladia was holding quickly clamped the 2 pieces of sashimi in front of her and placed them on Jeremy's plate which instantly smiled mockingly at Ornado. Ornado slightly moved his body and right hand which held the chopsticks forward, towards Jeremy, but suddenly he stopped his movements immediately because Cladia's left hand suddenly held his right hand to give a code so that he did not continue his joke with Jeremy. Cladia's hand was not just pulling the fabric of her sleeves or clothes as usual, but actually holding the back of her palm. Although the touch of Cladia's hand was only a few seconds but the action made Ornado immediately speechless because of shock, even Jeremy and Niela also looked quite shocked by what Cladia had just done to Ornado.

Not to mention Ornado could control his shock suddenly Cladia took out a piece of sashimi with her chopsticks and pointed it at Ornado's mouth, which for a while his mouth had remained tightly clenched until the eye of Jeremy who sat in front of him and the soft kick of Jeremy's leg towards his calf resuscitated him back and gave a sign to immediately respond to Cladia's actions I would feed him with sashimi.

"Ehem, thanks to Cla," Ornado said after successfully swallowing the sashimi Cladia had just fed into her mouth. Cladia just smiled at Ornado's thanks, while Niela and Jeremy immediately took the attitude of pretending to focus on the cuisine in front of her so as not to make the atmosphere awkward.

Just this time you had the intention to touch me without looking scared, your actions just made me want to cancel my departure to Italy tomorrow, if only I could make you come with me to Italy, Ornado said inwardly.

"Ehem," Ornado slightly cleared his throat, feigned a slight choking, his left hand deliberately patted his chest slowly to divert attention that actually he was trying to calm his chest that was so pounding while glancing at Cladia who had returned to enjoy her shabu-shabu.

Cladia herself was actually quite shocked by her actions just now, which to her was reckless. He had no idea how he suddenly had the courage to touch Ornado's hand. For him everything happened so suddenly without a second thought and at this time he himself also tried hard to calm his heartbeat by pretending to enjoy the meth in front of him. When he asked Ornado to ask him to dance some time ago at the party he really tried to prepare and gather his courage, but today.

Seeing the incident just now Jeremy hastily grabbed his phone, opened his screen and started typing a message to Ornado. As soon as the message was sent Jeremy coded Ornado through his eyes to check his phone lying on the table in front of him, who had just given a notification that there was a new message coming in.

You have to thank me, if it wasn't for me working on you today there's no way you could have gotten a special gift from Cladia today.

Ornado smiles reading a message from Jeremy and quickly replies to Jeremy's message.

My good sister-in-law, how do I thank you for your special surprise today? Tell me what gift do you want to repay your kindness?

Ornado sent a reply to Jeremy who quickly read and replied to him. And Jeremy's reply again made Ornado glare at Jeremy with a reddened face.

I didn't ask for anything, just as soon as possible there's news of Xanderson's descendants who will call me uncle. Give me the nephew as soon as possible. You have 6 months from now until my wedding day, otherwise Niela and I will precede you.

Jeremy had to really hold back his laughter seeing Ornado's reaction that looked increasingly misbehaved.

You think I don't want to? My desire for it is greater than you can imagine!

Ornado's last message was finally answered only by Jeremy with an icon laughing out loud.
