If not, then why would she like celebrating every birthday with them? Why was she so happy after spending time with those orphanage kids?
"I only like these kids. They have been deprived of their happiness since birth. That is why I try to give them all that I can do. In general I don't like all kids, I just try to make them happy." Kizy said.
"What about our kids?" Markus whispered in her ear.
And suddenly Kizy was blank. She had never thought about their future together. Not to mention about kids, she and Markus were not even engaged in a proper physical relationship.
"Stop troubling my sister in law." Nicole said.
"You go back home first. Nobody needs you here." Markus said monotonously.
"Stop being so rude to her. Nicole, come back whenever you want. And next time stay for some more time. We didn't even had a proper talk this time." Kizy said with a smile.
"Actually I am thinking about returning to A city forever. Anyways I have enough experience in teaching now, so I was thinking to come and join schools here." Nicole said.
Yes, Nicole was a kindergarten teacher, with almost two years of experience in teaching.
Her family had given her proper education and taught her self defense as well. Thus they wanted her to join their business, but Nicole had other plans.
Thus she went to foreign country for higher studies and joined school there for experience. But after spending two years in foreign, she understood that in the end, family is everything.
Yes, she won't leave her dreams, but she wanted to balance both her career and her family as well.
She had always been a great woman to begin with, strong yet bubbly personality with a frank mindset. She never had a problem interacting with new people.
And her warm behaviour made people relax and let their guards down near her. On top of that, she had studied a little psychology, resulting in her being able to understand people's emotions.
"You stay away from my wife. You might lower her IQ." Markus said, leaving no chance to insult his poor little sister.
"Yeah yeah. Why will you need me now when you already know your feelings?" Nicole said with a pout.
"What feeling?" Kizy asked, not remembering anything from the previous day.
"Nothing. You should leave now. It's getting late." Markus said.
Nicole gave a mean look to Markus before bidding her farewell to the couple.
"Joel, you can go back for now." Markus said.
Both Nicole and Joel left on their own.
"Let's go to our bedroom now." Markus said once only he and Kizy were remaining in the hall.
"Why should we go now? I mean it will be dinner time in almost half an hour. Let's go back after dinner." Kizy asked.
"That's a surprise." Markus said with his devilish grin, making Kizy zone out for a moment.
"You can look at my handsome face as much as you want." Markus paused and came near her.
"Maybe my body as well, but in the bed. For now, go and change quickly." Markus said, making Kizy flustered.
"Who wants to look at that ugly face and weird body!" Kizy said and ran away to the second floor.
Markus laughed loudly, shaking his head before following her to the bedroom.
Once inside, he closed the door and made Kizy sit on a chair before going back to the cupboard and coming back with a white dress.
"Happy birthday!" Markus said and gave the dress to Kizy.
"This is beautiful! But you already gave me one in the morning. This wasn't needed at all." Kizy said.
"Go change into this." Markus said.
"Can I do that tomorrow? I am truly tired. Please." Kizy asked with puppy eyes.
"You don't have to do anything." Markus said while walking towards her.
He knelt and removed her heels. Kizy was still confused when Markus got up and started removing the zipper of her dress.
"I will change!!" Kizy said, immediately standing up, understanding what Markus meant.
"Come down within twenty minutes." Markus said and left with a satisfied smile.
Kizy went and locked the door firmly, before quickly changing into the new dress. And at one glance, she knew it was chosen by Markus.
The dress was white in color, ending at her knees, with a round neck. The dress looked simple yet royal.
Kizy didn't change her hairstyle or did any makeup and went down.
Markus looked at her and felt happy. The dress that Kizy wore in the morning was selected by Nicole. But the dress she was wearing right now was his choice, reserved and elegant.
"I knew my choice would be correct. Look at yourself, you look good because of the dress now." Markus said, praising himself.
"I look beautiful and any dress suits me. So technically I look good not the dress." Kizy replied nonchalantly.
The couple was once again bickering without any reasons when the doorbell rang.
Butler went to open the door, but came back inside after a minute.
"There is a parcel for Young Miss. She needs to sign for that." Butler said.
Kizy was confused, but she still went, signed and received the parcel.
The parcel was nothing but a big box wrapped in red velvet paper with golden lace.
Kizy came back to the house with the box. She looked at Markus, watching the same questioning gaze in his eyes that she had.
She looked back at the gift and decided to open it.
The gift was nicely wrapped, so it took her a little more time to completely unwrap it. Once it was done, she opened the huge box only to see a bouquet full of red roses, the flowers still fresh with dew on them.
Along with the bouquet were another two boxes, one medium sized and another small sized.
She once again looked back confusedly at Markus, who was now on high alert while coming closer to the boxes.
"Open the boxes." He said while standing beside Kizy.
And Kizy obliged, opening the box carefully, only to drop it with a loud "THUD!!" after watching its content, her face pale as white sheet.
