A magical place!

Soon the next morning had come and it was the day that his parents were supposed to come back, at least according to the flight information he got from Garry. He quickly got ready for school and went downstairs. The driver, Alfred, was already waiting for him and gave him a polite smile and nod as he entered the car. Jason did not sleep well last night as he was thinking about a lot of things, so he wasn't in the best of moods. But he did not want to skip school. If was to remain at home he knew he would only receive a scolding from his parents and his mood would only get worse. At school he could at least go up the roof or hang out with his friends.

The plane touched ground and Jenny, Susan, Stephen and Jenny's mother had had some time to get to know each other on the plane ride over. Jenny told the couple a bit more about herself and they in turn told them a bit about Jason. As they were getting heading towards the exit of the airport and to the car waiting for them, Susan informed Jenny about what she had planned. She told her that she had applied for a second ID for her with the name Jenny, so that in England her name could be that officially. They had chosen the last name "Charlston" for her. This was a sophisticated name and suited her well. Though Jenny thought it was unnecessary as she hadn't even met their son yet, let alone the outcome of their trip, but she did not object. Besides, Jennifer Charlston had nice ring to it, she thought to herself. For her mother they had settled on the name Mary, because her kindness reminded Susan of mother Mary and her actual name started with the letters "Ma" as well. This was a simple name and "Mary" for the time being agreed to have that as her name when in England.

Soon all four were headed towards the Westwood mansion. Once they had reached the gate leading them to the entrance, Jenny and Mary were looking in awe at what they saw around them. It took them almost ten minutes by car to reach the front door and all around was a beautiful garden with multiple fruit trees on a large grass field, a fountain at the center, and the circular path going around the fountain was laid out with milk white gravel. Not a even a single blade of grass was out of line and as she pushed the button to open the car window, the sweet smell of the lemon and orange tree came rushing to her nostrils. This was truly a magical place!

When they exited the car they were greeted by an older man and two rows of servants all dressed in a sharp uniform. This look surreal. Jenny decided at that moment that regardless of what she thought of their son, this image made her trip to England worth it. But her happiness about her decision to go on this trip had come too soon, because Susan and Stephen had not revealed everything. As a matter of fact they had left out a very important detail, namely that Jason knew nothing of this matchmaking. How would an unannounced meeting with a grumpy devil go?

Stephen took his leave from the group as soon as he went inside for a change of clothes, because he was expected at big meeting in the office. The three women waved Stephen goodbye and went in for some thee. "Mary, will you join me in the kitchen. You can help me pick out the right flavor of thee and snacks for thee time." Susan had deliberately brought Mary along with her, because her son was expected to be home from school any minute now and she wanted them to meet without the parents present. She informed Mary of her intentions and she agreed to leave Jenny in the living room by herself as Susan would show her the backyard and the rest of the house. This should give those two plenty of time. Hopefully Jason would behave.
