“Haha!”
Jasper was amused.
Sure enough, no matter how long it had been, and no matter where they were, Wendy was still the same person who could not stand being teased.
“What are you afraid of? We’ve been together for so long, so what does it matter if I kiss you?”
Jasper squeezed Wendy’s hand and walked forward. He said with emotion, ” The land of my hometown is so reassuring. Even the air in my hometown i s sweet. How nice!”
When Julian saw that the two had finished reminiscing, he walked over and said excitedly, “Jasper!”
“You rascal.”
Jasper punched Julian’s shoulder playfully and said, “We’ll be busy very soon. Are you ready?”
“I can’t wait!” Julian said excitedly.
“Speaking of which.”
Wendy interrupted and said, “You have to find some free time next week.”
“Why?” Jasper asked suspiciously. “Julian is getting engaged.” Wendy
covered her mouth and giggled.
“Originally, the woman’s family had chosen a suitable date and they should have been engaged a long time ago, but Julian refused because he claimed that you were not back yet, so they forcefully delayed it until next week. He insisted on waiting for you to come back.”
Jasper was surprised. “Really?
You rascal, I gave you a break for this period and you have already found a wife? Do you want me to let you rest a little longer so you can have a baby too?”
Julian scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “Actually, everything was planned by Miss Schuler and my sister. think that woman is pretty nice too, so that’s why I made this
“Jasper.”
Before Jasper could finish, Julian interrupted him. He said, “You’re already my benefactor so I can’t accept those gifts. Besides, I have a lot of money after adding up my salary and bonus from all these years. I can already live a comfortable life.”
“No.”
Jasper shook his hands and said, “You’ve been through thick and thin with me, and I’ve never given you anything. Your salary and bonus are nothing. You very well deserved those things and now that you’re engaged, I am your boss and your half-brother, so of course, I have to help you with this happy occasion and I have to do it impressively.”
“He’s right.”
Wendy chimed in, “Don’t refuse the
shops and gifts, Julian. Still, Jasper, the woman’s family says they will be the one hosting the engagement party because they want to host it according to their local customs so we shouldn’t fight them over this. Moreover, the woman’s family might be pressured if we host a huge party.”
Jasper nodded and smiled. He said, ” Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
