Mr. Greedy

"I already prepared the Shin Grand Hall for your engagement party tomorrow night". Romina informed her son about the plan she made. It's been a week already since her son asked her to help him to plan a wedding for his beloved wife and soon her only favorite daughter-in-law.

"Why do I need another engagement party if were already married?". Jack was confused. He thought about the wedding but not the engagement.

"We need to introduce her properly to the public. Besides every woman needs to be handed by their father to their future groom..... Well that's the Shin tradition anyway but I want to apply it to her". She is very strict to the so called tradition of their family. Azalea will be a part of their family that's why she needs to practice it early.

Jack thought about it for a while and he thinks his mother is right. He didn't ask for Azalea's hands from her father in a proper way. He needs to do it right. He needs to be a gentleman and ask for Charles Son's blessing, his father-in-law.

"Okay, if you think that's necessary. Do whatever you want Mom. As long as we can have a nice wedding. That's all it matters". Jack sigh. He don't want to argue with his mother because he knows she's right and she's doing the best she can plus the fact that she's overly excited.

"I know you will say that". Her voice sounds a bit exaggerated and confident. "About your suit and Azalea's dress. It's already prepared".

"Thank you, Mom..... So that means we are the only ones needed in your plan?". He is grinning. His mother really knows what to do it's like she already planned everything before he even ask.

"Yes". She simply replied.

After he hung up. Azalea came back from the bathroom. She took a hot bath and left her husband in their room when his mother called.

"How is she?". She was curious about their discussion it took longer than before but she don't want to intrude.

"She's fine and excited". Jack took his wife's hands and pull her near him. She was standing in front of him. He hugs her waist and looked up at her face.

"Excited.... Of what?". She became more curious by her husband's words and it registered on her face.

Jack chuckles when he saw a questionable look in her eyes. But he wants to keep it a surprise.

"I'll tell you tomorrow". He is planting kisses on her hands and arms. "Tonight let's talk privately". He grabs her nape and lowered her head to him. He grants her a very passionate kiss.

Morning.

The couple were surprised when they see Romina early in the morning in their living room.

"Good morning ma'am". Azalea was the first one to greet her.

"Why are you calling me ma'am?.... I'm your mother-in-law". Romina is not surprised when Azalea is still not calling her mother she hasn't giving her a proper blessing yet. "Can you call me mother from now on?".

"Really!". Azalea was very excited when she heard her. She never had a mother for a long time. "Mother". She giggles and hugs her. She can't contain her eagerness to hold her new mother.

Romina was very delighted with her attitude. She knew how innocent she is and she loves the fact that she can easily be please.

"What do you want". Jack lazily asked his mother and grabs Azalea away from her. He saw his wife looked at him wondering.

Romina chuckles. She never expected how possessive her son is, but she decided not to confront him. "I need the both of you in the hotel this afternoon".

"But why... Mother?". Azalea almost forgot how to address her. She still feels shy calling her mother.

"Oh silly girl.... You almost forgot how to address me, come here!". She taps the side of her seat and Azalea quickly sits beside her. "Do you want to practice the word mother to me?". She patted her head. She always wanted to have a daughter before but never happened. She have some nieces but all of them was afraid of her.

Jack grabs Azalea back to his side. He don't want his mother to be more fond of her because he knows she will drag his wife everywhere with her when they become close.

"We will be there. You can count on us". He is giving Romina a cold gaze but he only saw her shrug her shoulders.

"You are so greedy. I won't snatched her from you..... I'm just going to borrow her from time to time". Romina tries to piss her own son. She can see he is knitting his eyebrows and she wants to laugh from his reaction.

"My wife is not a toy that you can borrow anytime you want". He gave his wife a warning look. He knows she will react differently from his words and he don't want to give her mother any hint of chance to take her away from him.

"Okay Mr. Greedy..... I won't take her but you still need to go to the Shin Hotel this afternoon for your final fitting". Romina rolled her eyes. The sweetness of the two is killing her. She can't really win against her own son.

"Why do we need to go to Shin Hotel?". Azalea asked them out of curiosity. She don't understand what they were talking about and why do they need to go there.

"You didn't tell her!". Romina was surprised and her eyes focused on his son. She can't believed he haven't told her yet. Her new daughter have no idea what's going to happen tonight.

"I forgot..... But I will tell her after you leave". He looked at his wondering wife. "I'm sorry I forgot to tell you after our private talked". His eyes are very apologetic to her.

"You already had a private talked but you forgot to tell her". Romina speaks with sarcasm on her tone and she is giving him a sharp look.

Azalea laughed in an instant then covered her mouth. She was thinking about the other private talk that Romina is referring to but then she saw her mother-in-law giving her a silly grin. She thinks she already know.

"Oh well, I think I shouldn't meddle with you little lovers... Just drop by at the hotel as early as possible so we can start everything early. I don't want a chaotic scene". She rose up from the grand couch and gave both of them a peck on their cheeks. Romina patted Azalea's head like a child. She can't understand why she likes her so much. But she thought maybe it's because she's the reason why her son is talking to her again after so many years. She is also the reason why Jack is very happy even if he don't let anyone see it she can tell because she is his mother.
