Chapter 27：The Auntie 3

Tim started the engine and drives away.

Helena told him that his auntie is in the villa.

He has bad feelings about this.

He knew his auntie's attitude!

She might have learned about his marriage to Kira!

-----

"Auntie, why you didn't tell me that you worked for the Tan family before?" Kira asked as she helped Helena sit on her bed.

Helena froze, it took a while before she spoke, "L-Let us not talk about it, dear, it was a long time ago, after all!" Helena said.

She's anxious, but she tried her best not to show it to Kira.

Kira did not notice Helena's anxiousness.

She thought that Helena just doesn't want to talk about it, so, she did not insist on talking about it.

------

Tim hurriedly run inside the house and called Kira's name.

"Kira?!" He called out as he took a step upstairs.

He headed to their room but Kira wasn't there!

Tim got out of the room again, and coincidentally, Jane the younger servant came out of the guest room.

"Where is the Missus?" Tim asked Jane.

"The Missus is in the kitchen, Young Master," Jane replied.

"Is she eating?" Tim asked.

"No, Young Master. She is preparing food for lunch." Jane replied again.

"What?"

"Madame Gezel ordered her to cook for lunch."

Tim sigh as he heard Jane.

And then he runs downstairs and headed to the kitchen.

He saw Kira near the sink, she is cutting the vegetables while Madame Gezel is standing beside her, with her arms crossed in her chest.

Madame Gezel seems like she is observing Kira's every move.

"Ah!" Kira cried and held her hand when she accidentally cut her finger!

She was so tense with Madam Gezel's presence and can't concentrate on what she's doing.

"It's just a simple task, yet you can't do it correctly!" Madame Gezel said sternly.

Tim walks towards Kira with his dark expression," What do you think you're doing?" He asked sternly as he holds her wounded finger.

"T-Tim!" Kira blurted out!

She didn't expect him to be home before lunch!

"Hello there Tim!" Madame Gezel greeted her nephew but Tim seems to hear nothing!

He ignores his auntie, he brings Kira on the sink and washed her wound.

"You shouldn't be doing this. " Tim said to Kira as he wiped her hand to dry.

Madame Gezel was offended by Tim's behavior.

"So, you're just going to act like you never seen me here?!" Madame Gezel said in a sulky voice.

Kira turned her head to Madame Gezel and then to Tim, but Tim seemed like he heard nothing from Madame Gezel.

"You should have asked the servants to do the works in the kitchen," Tim said without turning his head to his auntie.

"I just want to know how much she knows the works in the kitchen." Madame Gezel was the who answered.

"Wives should at least know how to cook for their husbands." She added.

"I did not marry her to cook foods for me." This time Tim turned his head to his auntie and he throws her a cold gaze. " I did not marry her to be my cook," Tim added.

He turned his head back to Kira, grab her hand and they walk away from the kitchen.

"Let's go!" He said and then he guided Kira out of the kitchen.

Madame Gezel let out a sarcastic laugh as she watch the couple walks away from the kitchen.

"He even ignored me because of that woman!" She mumbled with her unbelievable expression.

-----

Master's bedroom...

Tim let Kira sit on the bed.

He took his first aid kit in a medicine cabinet and started to apply medicine to Kira's wound.

"Why did you do that?" Kira asked Tim who is putting a plaster on her finger.

"Did, what?" Tim asked back.

"Why did you treat your auntie rudely?"

Tim looked at Kira, "And why you keep on following her orders?" Tim asked back again.

His expression is as cold as ice.

"I am just being polite to her," Kira replied.

"Being polite?"

"Kira, can't you see it?"

"She's trying to intimidate you, she's bullying you!"

"There should be a limitations to everything, Kira. It's alright to be polite, but to let her bully you, is another story!"

Kira lowered her head, Tim might be mad, he even called her by her first name!

" Tim, she is your auntie---"

"So what?" Tim interrupted Kira.

"Don't lower yourself just to please her."

"The more you lowered your self to her, the more she treats you rudely!"

"She's the kind of person who likes to manipulate someone's life. You should know how to fight back especially when they are taking advantage of you." Tim is enraged!

Her Auntie was one of the reasons why his Mom left him and his dad.

"Kira, that woman isn't here for nothing," Tim warned Kira.

"She has been eyeing for the family's business since my dad passed away."

Kira did not answer.

She doesn't know Madame Gezel's attitude, so, she should listen to Tim who knows more about his auntie.

Kira keep her head lowered, she did not dare to look at Tim, she's afraid to see his anger.

"Oh!"Tim looked up, trying to calm himself.

He took a deep breath before he looks down at Kira again,

" Now, I'm having second thoughts on whether to leave out of town or not. " Tim mumbled after a while.

Kira looks up to Tim, "Out of town?" she asked.

"Ennn..." Tim nodded.

" I have important things to do in C Province." He explained.

This time, his voice is calm.

"Oh! Is it that important?" Kira asked again.

"I have to talk to a family friend, he was the one who helped my father when he needs financial help," Tim explained.

"Then why are you having second thoughts?"

"I'm worried about you, especially now that auntie is here," Tim said in a worried voice.

"You're worried that your auntie might bully me?" Kira asked again.

"Ennn..." Tim replied.

Kira was touched by Tim's concern.

She felt like someone tickled her heart and she can't help but smile.
