Chapter 334 - GETTING ALONG SO WELL
Most of the guests were adults and there weren't many children around. Jade didn't have anyone of her age to play with but she didn't feel out of place because the people around her talked to her frequently.
"Mom, I'll go get some sweets." Jade told her mother while pointing his little finger on the table where foods, drinks and desserts were placed.
"Sure. Be careful okay. If you need help, just asked one of the big brothers for help, okay?"
"Hn." Jade climbed slid off from her seat and walked towards the food buffet area.
Luiz was also looking for desserts and saw little Jade looking at the food. "Jade, what do you want? I'll help you get it."
"I cannot see the food from here. It's a little bit higher for me to reach."
"How about I carry you to see the food?"
"No, I cannot allow you to do that. You will be tired because I'm heavy now."
Luiz chuckled upon hearing her response. She looks so small yet she knows how to be considerate of other people. "I won't be tired." Luiz walked closer to her and hold her up to her waist and carried her while they both looked for food that they wanted. "Do you want to have sweets?"
"Hn."
"I'm looking for sweets, too." Luiz exclaimed and the two of them gave each other a high-five. "Let's see what we have here. You point out which one you like and I'll get it for you, deal?"
"Deal." Jade looked around the table full of food and she started pointing out her hand to the desserts that she wanted to eat. There were pies, cakes, marshmallows with chocolate fountain, different kinds of mini trifles, doughnuts, brownies, cupcakes and a lot more. She wasn't allowed to eat lots of sweets due to health reasons so, Jade could only choose three as the maximum.
Luiz put her down on one of the vacant chairs so that he can get the desserts for her. "Just stay here while I get the desserts for you."
"Okay." Jade sat down properly and waited for Luiz to get the desserts for her. After few minutes, Luiz came back with two plates of desserts. One was for her and the other one was for himself.
"If you like to taste the other desserts just let me know." Luiz reminded her with a smile. "Should I help you bring this to your table?"
"Can we sit here instead?" Jade asked while looking at her plate.
"Sure. Let's sit here." The two of them got along so well and started to eat the desserts they chose.
Jade was happily scooping her mini berry cheesecake trifles which Luiz got for her. "Brother Luiz, earlier it was announced that you have a scholarship from the governor. Which school will you be using that?"
"At first, I thought I'd still go to X university's college department since that's where my brother studies. After receiving the scholarship, I decided to try enrolling for Trine Elite University this summer."
"Go! That would be good. I study in Trine Elite University with my friend and I can introduce you to him next time."
"Hopefully, I'd get it."
"I'm sure you will. You're so smart." Jade praised him with genuine smile and encouragement. "There will be lots of opportunities for you if you study in Trine and their curriculum is really good. I'm pretty sure that you will have a great time studying there."
Luiz smiled at her and rubbed Jade's hair. "Thank you for the encouragement. I'll let you know when I passed the exam."
They continued to eat their desserts, sharing with each other's food happily. Luiz was happy to talk with Jade.? He finally felt how it's like to have a younger sibling. After all, he's the youngest in the family.
Jillyanna saw that her daughter was having fun with Luiz so she let her stay with him for a little while more.
Since Luiz and his classmates needed to leave tomorrow for the after party, and because Cayenne had to go with them, the celebration was ended rather early. At five in the afternoon, the graduation celebration was ended but everyone had a lot of fun.
One after another, they left Stefan's place while they congratulated Luiz once again. Jade didn't forget to cheer him on to pass the examination for Trine Elite University where she's studying.
The catering services started to clean up as well and Jonas watched over them to make sure that they won't damage any of the flowers in the garden. Cayenne and Stefan was sending off their guests one after another with smiles on their faces. She looked across the street and found that the lights inside Cole's house were still off.
"Aren't they home?" Cayenne mumbled while looking at the lonely house.
"Cole asked for one week leave to help his family settle down. I think they'll be home on Sunday." Stefan answered his wife. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her a little closer. "Are you worried for them?"
"Just a little." Cayenne answered honestly. It's impossible for her not to care for them since she still thought of them as acquaintance. 'Seiji didn't come, too.' Cayenne thought to herself. She was thinking that the two of them has reconciled so he invited Seiji to come over but he didn't respond to her messages.
"What are you thinking?" Stefan asked her when she had gone silent.
"Honestly, I thought that Seiji and I have reconciled so I invited him over today but he didn't come. I'm just wondering if I did something against him."
"Seiji? He went back to Singapore. I heard that his father gave him a new project to handle."
"Why do you know that?"
"I need to know what my rivals are up to." Stefan whispered and kissed her temple. "I need to be prepared just in case he'd do something to take you away from me again."
Cayenne rolled her eyes at him and nudges his side with her elbow. "Don't make me remember something awful."
