After their dinner was served, the group started munching on their ordered servings.
" What did they serve me. I didn't order this, bro just look. Brown and green absolutely makes a bad combination." Pushing his plate away from him, Troy frowned.
If he was a dragon, the people before her and the restaurant would be ashes by now.
" Didn't I ask you before and I what did you say to me? Since you are so familiar with the menu then just eat quietly. His mother chided him which made the other customers look their way.
" Am never coming back here ever again. I was cheated."
" Cheated?? You cheated yourself, now can you respect food and keep quite." Jade looked over at his brother. He then quietened and focused on eating.
By the time the dinner was over, it was around 8pm. Jade sent Phoenix back home as Troy drove Mother Paulson to the family villa.
The journey back home was quite and peaceful. Only the sound of music playing inside the car could be heard. ' From this moment' by Shania Twain started playing. Oh lala.
' Through weakness and strength
Happiness and sorrow
For better, for worse
I will love you
With every beat of my heart.'
A muffled laugh interrupted the singing Jade. Turning his head a bit to the side, his eyes met hers.
" Care to share?"
" Share what, do you like sharing that much?" Phoenix asked.
" Nah nah, I would share everything except you. So tell me, what's making you tear up while laughing?"
" Whatever you say. Just now you sounded like Minnie Mouse. It was unexpected but cute. I mean to say I never thought that that voice would come from you." Laughing loudly, she placed her palm to cover her mouth. Phoenix had no idea that she had poured a bucket of cold water on the man driving causing him to stop singing.
Throwing her a quick glance, Jade continued to focus on driving.
" Then you sing. Come on, sing cause am sure you wouldn't want to hear the irritating Minnie Mouse, right?" Frustrated that his singing was disturbed and that she had just likened his voice to Minnie Mouse, Jade snapped at her.
Though Jade had a baritone voice, a different voice was produced when he sang. When he was a teenager, his friends used to tease him using his voice. This was his perfect flaw, his smooth tiny voice which sounded like a female's always earned him gasps whenever he sang. Due to this, he never sang even when he wanted to in public.
The bedroom and bathroom were his safe haven for singing.
" Am sorry, I didn't mean to anger you. It's just that I truly wasn't expecting that. Sorry Baby Jade. I will make it up with this."
Lifting his free hand, Phoenix kissed its back and took a small bite while blowing on it.
A tiny smile decorated the side of Jade's lips.
## Paulson family Villa ##
On the big round bed, a middle aged man in his late 40s held a book on his right hand and his left hand caressed his young wife's back.
" Why aren't you sleeping. it's been hours since you have been looking at that book. Turn off the lights and go to sleep else you age faster." The woman said in a low voice, shifting closer to the man.
" I will be done soon, am I disturbing you?" George asked looking lovingly at the woman in his arms.
George Paulson was the second Master of the Paulson family. He only had a single older brother, Thomas Paulson, Jade's father.
When one look closely, they could say he was still in his thirties due to his small body frame. He wasn't burly like his older brother Thomas.
