Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 264: Mortification

Noah joined the rest of the family for dinner and sat down at the head of the table with Hellen sitting on his right and James sitting on his left. He finally talked to his sons once he was seated.

He asked James some questions on how he was managing his company and offered advice on a few things. After talking to James he looked at Jason and felt like he was getting a headache.

Out of all his sons, the one that looked the most like him was Jason because even their eyes were the exact same colour, unlike Lucas who had his mother's eyes. But at the same time out of all his sons, he felt that Jason was the one that he could not see through.

He knew he would have made an amazing businessman as he had seen his potential since he was still a student.

He was smart, he knew how to handle his interpersonal relationships and had a way with words but when he suddenly told him he wanted to be a musician, he felt like he had been speaking to an imposter.

"How is work?" Noah asked Jason.

"It's okay, I have to move houses again so I'm staying at the hotel at the moment," Jason answered. Noah nodded and didn't have anything else to say. He did not know what else to say since he had never cared for the entertainment scene even when he was younger.

"Mmh. Lucas, how was the event yesterday?" Noah asked even though he knew how it had gone, he wanted to hear it directly from Lucas.

Lucas explained what had happened the previous night and all the people that he had talked to and had made contact with. Jen was surprised that he remembered everyone that he had talked to. Noah listened to him attentively and when he was done he nodded in approval.

"Good job. I'll have to increase your responsibilities" Noah and finally started eating and the mood relaxed almost immediately.

Jen looked at Lucas and saw the slight frown on his face. She could guess what he was thinking. If he had more responsibility it just meant that he was going to get busier.

Dinner went well as they all talked about random stuff and once they were done they all moved to the garden with the exception of Noah who went to freshen up.

It was already 8 pm when they were sitting outside. The night was a bit cool which was nice since the summer heat could get suffocating. Jen was nursing a mug of tea with Lucas sitting next to her with an arm thrown over her shoulder.

Hellen was talking to James and Jason, mostly trying to coax James into talking about Laura. She found the concept of her son dating once more quite interesting.

"Are you cold?" Lucas asked Jen who was still concentrating on her steaming cup of milk tea. Jen shook her head to show that she was not cold but Lucas was not really looking for an answer since he pulled her close to him so she was snuggled next to him.

Jen did not complain since she truly did feel more comfortable with Lucas so close to her. She turned her head to look at him and was met with the hickey on his shoulder.

"Why did you choose to wear this t-shirt?" Jen asked remembering how she was teased by the guys the night before.

"It shows off my pecs. I thought you liked them" Lucas said and readily received the light punch on his chest from Jen. She was really embarrassed when his brothers had pointed out the hickey. She was glad that Noah did not say anything about it during dinner or she would have slid under the table.

"There won't be a repeat of this morning next time," Jen said still feeling slightly annoyed. Lucas chuckled and bent to whisper in her ear.

"I thought you enjoyed. You seemed to be having a good time I even thought we could continue from where we left off tonight" Lucas said in a low voice that only she could hear and before she could pull away from him he caught her earlobe with his teeth soothing the area that he had just bit.

Jen's hands shook and her cheeks became flushed as she pressed her legs together. Lucas chuckled at her reaction as he could obviously read her body language and to be honest he found it hot. If only they were home, he would have taken her to his room.

"Look at these two love birds shamelessly flirting," Jason said popping the couple's bubble. Hellen slapped his hand with a small laugh.

"Please continue, don't mind us," Hellen said. SHe couldn't resist the temptation of joining Jason in teasing them.

"I really don't mind," Lucas said joining in with the banter and received a pinch from Jen and cried out exaggeratedly.

"What are you pinching me for?" Lucas asked exposing her actions making Jen bury her head in his chest in embarrassment making everyone laugh at her expense.

"I didn't know you were so shy, sister-in-law. But you were still able to leave such an obvious mark on Lucas" Jason said and this time even James gave a low laugh.

On the other hand, Jen was feeling mortified by what he had just said. Lucas chuckled and Jen could hear his chuckle even more distinctly since she was so close to him. If she was not so embarrassed she would have glared at him.

She came to realise that if you did not grasp the situation earlier on Jason had the ability to tease someone to death. Last time it was James but today it seemed like she had a target drawn on her forehead.

Jen felt slightly betrayed. She wanted her idol to go back to how he used to be. He was such a sweetheart to his fans was she being treated like this now because of her relationship with Lucas? She was okay with his behaviour as long as she was not the target. She lifted her head and glared at Jason's direction

"I think you're about to lose a fan," Lucas said to Jason his voice filled with amusement. After laughing a bit more Jason figured that he should not try to antagonise her anymore and decided to stop teasing her.
