The Law of Attraction

Chapter 209: Unmarried Wife

At Sy mansion.

The whole family gathered at the table for breakfast and senior Sy could not help but say, "Is it okay to leave your mother-in-law alone as soon as Lana left? You should go back there and look after her. Is she doing well already these days?"

It actually shocked him when he saw his son joining them in the dining area since he was not informed of Liam's arrival beforehand. He then understood that Liam might have arrived late last night when he was already sleeping heavily.

"Yeah, mom is doing well now. I bet you won't be even able to win with her in a race at running." Liam answered while he sipped on his coffee. He then looked at his father and added, "She actually kicked me out saying you must be missing me… But I guess I'll just go back and tell her that you're not welcoming me back to home so warmly."

"This brat… Of course, we love you to be here, I am especially happy to see you here now that Jorge has to leave. This Miley will definitely follow him everyday and have less time for me now, you better not ignore me now" senior Sy scolded.

Liam looked at Jorge and asked, "Is that today?"

Jorge nodded with a grin. The day when he had to shift into his family mansion had finally come. It was in fact such good timing because Liam was back and would stay with the family for a month, after Lana would be back they would then together decide about their living arrangements .

He, in the meantime had planned to convince Miley for marriage in that short span of time as well, Jorge was confident Miley would accept his proposal for an early marriage, but suddenly a stern reminder rang in his ears…

"You can't have a marriage ceremony unless I do it first with Lana, a grand wedding ceremony… Don't forget that."

Liam's words were hard as a rock and Jorge ended up gulping his food in a state of panic as he turned his head quickly to look at their father, then Miley. They both were shocked and sat there like statues trying to understand if they heard wrong or was Liam really becoming more and more petty and shameless every passing day.

None spoke for a while, so Jorge scratched his head and jokingly replied, "How about you have that grand ceremony as soon as Lana passes the licensure exam?"

"Hmm, but I heard from sis directly that she does not like grand celebrations and being married in civil like they both did, is enough for her." Miley butted.

"Then that means you can marry without my approval. I want my marriage to be witnessed by the whole world. I will not allow you to marry without me accomplishing that."

Miley's eyes rounded in disbelief. "Do you want me to be an unmarried wife bro???! You know sis Lana. She's stubborn and when she said that I could tell that it's final already." She cried with a crumpled face.

Senior Sy laughed. He looked at Miley and said, "I thought you wanted to delay your marriage, dear? Your brother is simply helping you with that… You should be thankful."

"But bro wants to not only delay it instead make it not happen at all! There's a big difference in this situation father… in delaying and not letting it happen…" Miley complained.

Jorge loomed at them and shook his head. He thought of how he would miss this kind of bantering while dining with the wonderful family he grew up with.

Before Jorge left the dining area, senior Sy looked at him and said, "Let me go with you guys. It's been a while since I last visited your parents' house."

*****

At Grey Mansion.

Senior Sy did not go inside that instant, but walked at the newly renovated garden of the place. He smiled, seeing Jorge kept the bench swing in its place. He walked towards the swing and sat on the bench. He and Jorge's father made that swing together as a surprise for Jorge's mother.

He sighed how tragically they both died at that time while enjoying a cruise trip together.

'Till death did them apart,' Senior Sy mused because the couple ironically kept their vow intact, dying together. They all had been close friends since high school and the two of them were like his own siblings.

"Father, you're in deep thought." Jorge commented as he joined him inside the swing.

"Well, I was just thinking of your parents and whenever I think about them, I can't help but bring a smile on my face." Senior Sy commented with a genuine smile as he touched the carvings of Jorge's parents' name on the bench.

"I miss them." Jorge whispered.

"I know. I miss them too. I'm sure they are happy where they are right now seeing how you have grown up to be such a fine and handsome man, Jorge."

"They will be more thankful to you, father for everything that you did for me after they left." Jorge sincerely commented.

"How dare you leave me inside!" Miley's loud voice interrupted the serious and emotional atmosphere.

Jorge laughed, seeing the annoyed face of Miley. She went inside the restroom and asked him to wait outside the door, but Jorge played a prank on her and left instead to look for their father.

"Why are you still afraid? Can't you see how new my mansion is now from head to toe? Even the landscaping outside is so superb that you won't even think of the words haunted house as you look at it."

Miley's face twitched because for her it was still creepy.

"I still feel the goosebumps Jorge! How dare you leave me when I asked you not to…" Miley snorted. She was still feeling uneasy with the place for some reason.

Senior Sy clicked his tongue and commented, "It's all in your mind, Miley. You feel scared thus you are having the goosebumps. How about we join Jorge tonight and do a housewarming party and sleep over? Go call your brother as well and tell him to come here directly."

Jorge's eyes lightened up as he quickly said, "That's a good idea, father. I will ask the helpers to prepare everything…"

Miley did not comment anything, but her silence meant yes. She did not want Jorge to sleep there alone at all. Then she grinned at the thought of sneaking inside his room and? sleepover at Jorge's room later.

She would really do that because she definitely would not be able to sleep alone in any of the rooms of Jorge's haunted mansion or else, she would end up having a nightmare.
