After an hour or so, a maid ca to tell them that the preparations were ready and they could start their lunch whenever they wanted. After hearing this, Hellen pulled Jen back into the house, leaving the guys to head to the other garden by themselves.
After the guys had settled down Hellen ca out of the house with Jen trailing behind her holding a birthday cake and a cute hat on her head.
Hellen happily sang him the birthday song which always made him feel embarrassed greatly amusing Jen in the process. After he blew out the candles, he looked at Jen who was smiling happily at him.
"Happy Birthday Lucas"Jen said making Lucas smile.
"Thanks" Lucas said and instinctively bent down as if to kiss her but was interrupted by Jason who coughed loudly as if to remind him where he was.
Jen felt her face grow hot before circling around him and putting the cake on the table together with the other dishes.
"Mom, why don't I get cake?"Jason complained once Hellen sat down next to him.
"Once you get a girl that will nicely carry it over for you i'll buy you cake" Hellen said and smiled sweetly at him.
"Have you decided to favor Lucas just because he is dating?"Jason asked.
"Yes" Hellen said.
"Are you okay with this?"Jason asked Jas who was silently sipping his wine. Jas' grey eyes lazily looked at Jason before he smiled sarcastically.
"If you think it's unfair you can try dating"Jas said although it sounded like advice to everyone else Jason heard a threat.
Jason looked in Lucas' direction and watched as his younger brother kept putting food in Jen's plate looking completely lovestruck while Jen urged him to eat his own food. He did not want to admit it but, he was envious.
By the end of their lunch Jas was slightly tipsy since he had just eaten a few bites of his food and drank more than a bottle of wine.
It was correct to say that he got carried away. Jason had a slightly sour expression because his mother was being affectionate with his father and Lucas' attention was completely on Jen.
After their lunch the family sat together for tea and talked about mostly how Lucas used to be as a child.
As expected, everyone had their own perspective, as Jason said Lucas was annoyingly upright, Jas said Lucas was cute when he was young triggering Jason's competitive nature but as expected, Jas did not entertain him and sipped on his wine.
"How are you having so much wine while you have to drive to the estate later?" Jason asked feeling slightly fed up with Jas.
"You're driving aren't you? We'll just go together"Jas said lazily and refilled his wine glass.
Hellen on the other hand watched them bicker and started feeling impatient. It was not a big occasion but for so reason she felt tired. Noah noticed that Hellen was already fatigued and decided to chase his sons away.
"Aren't you going to leave?" Noah asked as he pulled Hellen's figure closer to him so she could lean against him. Jen couldn't help but feel that the movent was familiar but did not think too much about it.
Lucas looked at the ti and saw that it was a few minutes past 2pm before looking at his father.
"We'll go now, besides, mom looks drained so we should let her rest"Lucas said as he stood up pulling Jen up with him in the process.
"Mmh, we'll also go now" Jason said and watched his mom who had already dozed off while leaning on his father's shoulder.
"Drive safely, and take Jas with you don't let him drive" Noah said as he looked at his sons seriously.
"What about mom?" Jason asked.
"I'll let her know once she wakes up. She got up very early to prepare for your birthday" Noah said.
They all said goodbye to him before they left the garden.
"Who are you going with?" Jason asked Jas who was carrying a bottle of wine. He could feel an impending headache. Jas didn't drink often but he always went all out during these events.
"With you obviously, as much as I like Lucas more, I don't want to be a third wheel" Jas said bluntly before handing the keys to his Range to Jason. He was not in the mood to get into a sports car especially with how Jason drove.
Jason handed the keys to the butler and they stood with Lucas and Jen who were also waiting for their car.
"Are you alright?" Lucas asked Jas who was standing next to Jason with his sleeves rolled up his arms and the first buttons of his shirt undone. Jen could see the gold chain that hung on his neck and a teasing view of his collarbone.
She had never seen Jas look so relaxed before so she beca slightly dazed as she looked at Jas getting herself caught by him. His heavy lidded grey eyes looked straight at hers before he smiled lazily. Jen gulped and tried to discreetly check in case she drooled.
Lucas and Jason were very handso and had very prominent features where Jas looked like he was otherworldly as he was a mix of both soft and hard features. He was the type of person that looked otherworldly and now that he was so relaxed he looked like soone you want to corrupt.
"I'm fine" Jas said and turned his gaze towards Lucas. Jen sighed already pitying the two n.
"I have to apologise in advance on behalf of my friend" Jen said suddenly and two pairs of grey eyes looked at her making her flustered.
"Why?" Jason asked.
"You'll find out" Jen said with a sigh. She could already see how Laura was going to go overboard.
Jason furrowed his eyebrows in confusion when he heard her but did not say anything further.
Jas on the other hand looked at Jen with interest. He was suddenly curious about this friend that made her apologise in advance.
For so reason he felt that this ti, Lucas' party would be very lively.
