Chapter 1794 The Reunion (Part One)


    "Richard, I haven''t seen you for ages. You are taller and bigger now," Owen said. At university, he


    majored in finance which was not his favorite. He was jealous of Richard because unlike him, Richard


    could study what he liked at his favorite university. Owen had to do as his fathermanded even


    though he had no interest in his major. He knew his dad forced him to major in finance because he


    wanted Owen to help in his brother''s work in the future. But Owen really hated to do something he


    wasn''t passionate about. Working in the financing industry wasn''t his dream. His dream was to be an


    astronaut.


    "Are you kidding? I thought I had stopped growing," Richard said surprised. Richard straightened his


    back and approached Owen, he found that after all these years, he had indeed grown much. They


    were almost the same height.


    "No kidding. Uncle Kevin and aunt Leena are both very tall. You inherited all the tall genes passed on


    from your parents, so you wouldn''t be a short guy," Owen said. Besides Jasmine, Owen also liked to


    talk with Richard because he was full of youthful spirit which Owen himselfcked. He had achieved


    what Owen hadn''t. Whatever he saw in Richard, he wanted for himself. He had great admiration for


    him.


    "Joyce,e over here," said Jasmine waiving her arm at Joyce. She wasn''t expecting her at the party


    and was excited to see her.


    "Richard and Owen are all back. But I heard that their holidays are supposed to start in a couple days,"


    Joyce wondered. Catching the hems of her full-length gown, Joyce walked towards Jasmine. Joyce


    was a beautiful girl with long ck hair and dark eyes. She liked to wear gowns along with diamond


    nes and she looked fabulous and graceful when she wore them.


    "Joyce, I haven''t seen you in a while. You look gorgeous tonight," said Richard not taking his eyes off


    her. He was totally obsessed with her.


    Owen on the other hand was more reserved, he wasn''t vocal with his feelings. He was too shy to give a


    girl apliment so he just smiled at Joyce and didn''t say anything.


    "Really? Well, thank you. You are so sweet. I''m ttered. But I bet you say that to every girl that you


    meet," Joyce teased crossing her arms. She didn''t buy it at all.


    "I can''t believe you said that, that''s so offensive. I''m a soldier and I have my dignity. Don''t put abel on


    me and regard me as a random yboy," Joyce''s words irritated Richard. He praised her because she


    really did look stunning tonight. As a soldier, he represented the army. He couldn''t stand that she


    mocked him.


    "I agree with Joyce. Why can''t you be a yboy?" Jasmine said thoughtfully as she looked at Richard''s


    handsome face with a smile. She found it interesting to make fun of him.


    "Jasmine, you''re not entitled to judge me. It''s none of your business," said Richard angry. He and


    Jasmine got along very well. He was surprised that she chose to join Joyce in making fun of him


    instead of supporting him.


    "Everyone is here now. Eden, do you know all the people here?" asked Patricia with a friendly smile.


    She wanted to know how many people he already knew before she introduced him to them.


    "You''re Eden! So nice to meet you. I have heard so much about you," said Jasmine walking towards


    him. His face was familiar. He reminded her of her uncle Rain for some reason.


    "You must be Jasmine. Come here and give me a big hug," Eden said opening his arms wide. He


    quickly recognized the girl in front of him was Jasmine, he wanted to show his warmth by giving her a


    hug.


    "Oh my gosh! How did you know that I''m Jasmine?" she asked surprised that he recognized her even


    though it was his first time to see her after so many years. Feeling his warmth, Jasmine walked towards


    him and hugged him.


    "It''s quite easy. You guys are different. My mom told me that you are pretty lively, while Joyce is more


    gentle and quiet. So from the moment I saw you, I knew that you had to be Jasmine. I can tell who you


    are from the way you behave," Eden said with a smile on his face. Although Joyce and Jasmine were


    close in age, they obviously had different personalities.


    "Really? You are amazing! I must say, you aren''t at all what I imagined," said Jasmine. She was a little


    curious about him. She always thought that doctors would be serious and never joke around. But he


    was different, he was a lively person and wasn''t serious at all.


    "Is that so?


    So what do you think I should be like?" Eden asked surprised. He didn''t expect she would say


    something like that. He thought this girl was different. He was curious about what a doctor was


    supposed to be like ording to her.


    "Doctors are supposed to be quiet and calm because they need to work meticulously. But you don''t act


    like a doctor at all. I think you''re not serious enough to be a doctor," said Jasmine boldly. She told Eden


    exactly what she thought of him. She saw him as an easy going person and not stuffy at all. As a


    member of The Mayfly, she really needed to be trained not to speak her mind so openly.


    "Ha-Ha. Who told you that a doctor must keep a straight face all day? A doctor must be warm to make


    his patients feelfortable. If you went to see a doctor and the doctor glowered at you, would you go


    to that clinic again? So I think there is nothing wrong with my personality, instead, it''s my advantage,"


    Eden challenged Jasmine. He started to get more and more curious about this girl.

    What he said made Jasmine feel embarrassed, "You are right. I''m sorry about what I said. I think I''ve


    had the wrong impression about doctors."


    "And you must be Joyce. I haven''t seen you since I went abroad. You''ve changed a lot. You are getting


    more and more beautiful," said Eden looking at her. After all these years, she had already grown to be


    a beautiful girl. Compared to Jasmine, Joyce''s personality was totally different. Jasmine was the cute


    girl next door type who you could easily get along with. Whereas, Joyce, was the goddess because she


    was beautiful and unapproachable. Men were afraid to approach and chase girls like her, because she


    was too perfect and they would get stressed to be with her.


    "So you mean I was not beautiful enough when I was younger?" asked Joyce acting as though she was


    angry. She knew he didn''t mean it that way, but she wanted to tease him. She found that Eden and


    Rain had simr personalities. Although Eden was not his son, they were both easy going and liked to


    joke.


    "No! No! No! Don''t get me wrong. I mean, when you were younger, you were a cute little girl. Now you


    have grown up, so I think it''s more appropriate to describe you as a beautiful youngdy. Of course you


    were beautiful all the time. I think you are more than beautiful. You are perfect," Eden defended himself


    eloquently. He should have been awyer instead of a doctor.


    "Eden, I think you are jumping a fence and taking my job. Who did you learn that from?" Richard said.


    He was good at praising girls which was one of his unique skills. But now he found that Eden did a way


    better job than he did when it came toplementing girls. Eden''s presence posed a huge threat to


    Richard.


    "You''re not jealous of me, are you, Richard?" Eden joked raising an eyebrow mischievously. He was


    still a junior high school student when Edenst saw him a couple of years ago. Time really passed


    quickly. He used to be a shy boy, but now he was outgoing and popr among the girls. He even made


    jokes to please girls. He had already grown up into a mature man and looked handsome.
