The weather is sunny and the atmosphere is warm. It's the perfect day of summer. The birds are chirping and the hot rays of sun are falling on the ground, making it hot like a frying pan which is left on the gas.
Inside Chin's mansion,
Jim and his mother was sat on a luxurious couch in the living room. The room was filled with different types ancient and luxurious things. A sweet music was playing inside the room, making a delightful mood. Jim and his mother was drinking tea.
"Jim, last time I saw you three years ago. This time just spend more time with mummy." His mother said with a smily face while looking towards him. Jim hadn't been home for almost whole three years and this made her mother worried for him because she really cares for him. Almost every mother care for her children so why can't she care for him. Although it's not Jim's fault that he left the home for whole three years.
"How long would you like to keep me here?" Jim snored with his right eye while drinking his tea.
She replied while laughing, "Not for a long time. Just till the christmas" Jim suddenly puked his tea when he heard this. It was totally unexpected because it's the month of June and she is trying to hold him until the christmas, means total 6 months away from Japan and from her beloved Tina. He can die rather then stay with his tricky mother and his fiance sage.
He frowned his brows and said while looking at his mother, "Mom. I'm quite busy with business. I can't stay for so long...." as he was about to say further but suddenly his mother started crying while holding a handkerchief in her hand, "Eh! A child will no longer listen to the mother when it grows up. If only your dad were still here...." Her tears were totally looking fake. She was just trying to hold him at any cost but Jim is fully aware of her all tricks. So, he didn't fell for her trick. He took deep sigh and thought, 'Old trick!' Then said with a serious look, "Mom, I came back because Uncle Guan told me something serious had happened, but seems all is fine."
"This time is another pretext, to get me back. Right?"
His mother got startled and the drops of sweat appeared on her face. She never imagined that his son could be this bold that he will say all of this in front of him. "Ah it's...."
She was not able to think any excuse at that time but suddenly she cupped her right hand and pointed her little finger towards him. The finger was wrapped in a bandage. "Yesterday your mom tried to cook and have her finger cut. Is this a big deal?" She said while laughing awkwardly.
Jim got dissapointed on her excuse because even an idiot couldn't fall for it and he said with a sigh, "Now that everything is ok, I'll just be back tomorrow." as he was about to leave the room but suddenly a voice came from behind, "Jim!" He immediately turned around. There was Sage and Uncle Guan. Sage was holding a delicious pineapple cake in her hands. "Here comes the cake!" Sage said with a smile. The cake was looking very tasty with two layers. The bottom layer was lemon yellow coloured and the top of the cake was filled with cream and the toppings of strawberry. The strawberries were looking very juicy and tasty. Sage specially made this strawberry topping cake for Jim. He loves the strawberries since his childhood.
She put the cake on the table while saying with a smile, "Jim, this is my handmade cake."
His mother said, "Sage has learned making this for three months. Have a try, Jim."
Sage cut a piece of cake and pass it to Jim, "Jim, this is for you!"
Jim get surprised when he looked at sage because she is looking like Tina in place of Sage. It's an illusion of Tina's love and Jim had totally lost in it. His eyes were widely open and he was just staring her with a romantic look in his eyes, "You are so capable!" Suddenly these words came from his mouth. Jim also didn't know that what's going on but it was happening on their own.
"Really? Is this how you thinks?" Sage got totally cheered up. She was learning to make this cake for whole three moths for especially Jim and today he liked the cake and also give her the compliment. It made her very happy but she didn't know that Jim said it while thinking about Tina. Suddenly Jim snapped out of it and replied with an awkward face, "Eh. Yup!" Jim's mother and Uncle Guan was also surprised on seeing Jim's romantic behaviour. "Hey, Mr. Guan, can you fell something different in Jim's attitude towards Sage... Seems he is a little bit into her." His mother whispered to Uncle Guan.
Uncle Guan lowered his head and whispered, "My lady, quite different from what it was...."
"Miss. Yuan is the lady of your company and your nominal daughter. You know about her affection towards Jim."
"The old master also mentioned that the marriage is beneficial to both families."
"If only Sage could be my daughter-in-law!" She said while smirking.
"If only they could spend more time for better relationship."
"Your lady will be the one to handle this."
Next Day at morning,
Jim is going outside with an angry face.
Suddenly two maidens saw him and got shocked, "The Childe has just passed by?"
They were shocked because he was wearing his old night suit which is quite short and he is looking like a claun. "But....Why did he came out dressed like that?"
"Mom!" He yelled at his mom in anger, who was sat the the garden and drinking some tea. She smiled and said with a happy look, "Oh, my boy! You've got up."
"Come and have some tea with mummy!" She knows that why is Jim yelling in anger but she is acting like she didn't know anything.
He got pissed and yelled, "Mom, where is my mobile phone, passport and clothes!"
