Chapter 290 290. A Small Celebration At Lunch

"Oh about that. Actually your Grandpa and I decided to throw a small party to welcome our great grandchild and Markus back home. We have invited only the closed ones though. And you don't have to do anything. You just rest and look pretty, the rest of the things will be handled by grandpa and me." Grandma said in a loving manner.

The entire family had decided to take the day off, including their friends as well.

"Thank you for the celebration grandma. And sorry for troubling you and grandpa over this." Kizy said, feeling embarrassed for making the old couple work.

"What trouble Kizy? If not for you, who will we do this for? Of course not for Markus." Grandma said while giggling a little.

"Grandma, didn't you say moments ago that this was to welcome me and my precious baby? Then how are you not doing this for me?" Markus said, knowing that though the old couple always tried to act as if he didn't mean much to them, the reality was poles apart.

"Did I say that? Maybe a slip of tongue." Grandma said while nodding.

"Yeah yeah." Markus said while chuckling before the trio ended up laughing loud.

They were still talking when the members from BLACK COMMAND came out.

"Good morning second sister. And congratulations!!" Harry said in a cheerful tone.

"Congratulations!" Rose followed while wrapping her in a tight hug.

"Thank you both of you." Kizy said with a smile.

"Congratulations second sister." Victor said in a calm tone, yet it sounded a little controlled.

"Thank you first brother." Kizy replied.

Kizy's pregnancy news had made him excited, but at the same time, he was reminded of Anna and her pregnancy. He knew that he shouldn't be thinking about the past and stay gloomy, but he just couldn't help.

"Congrats Diamond." Finally Jason said.

"Thank you." Kizy said while nodding.

"And I am sorry for all the troubles I have been creating for you all since Markus left. I mean I should have helped you to perform your job more accurately, but instead I made it difficult. I truly apologize for my stupid actions." Kizy said, feeling guilty of her own actions.

"You don't have to be sorry. We understand what you were facing and how you were feeling. So no need to apologize." Rose said while stepping ahead and holding Kixy by her shoulders.

"Sorry for last night." Victor said in a low voice to Markus.

"That's completely fine. Actually I was acting a little stupid and in a way it was delaying her treatment. So don't feel guilty about it." Markus said while giving him a brotherly hug.

Victor was about to say something to Rose when he felt someone was watching him intently.

He turned around, only to find grandma giving him a weird stare, or more probably, giving his body a weird look.

He looked down at himself, searching if he was wearing something odd or funny, but it wasn't the case.

When he lifted his head up once again, grandma wasn't paying attention towards him anymore. Thus he stopped thinking about it and went towards Rose.

"We should make some changes to this house and its furniture. I know that Second sister is careful, but she can be messy and clumsy at times. So we should make changes to make sure that she or the baby isn't harmed." Victor said in a low voice, but unfortuanately both Markus and Kizy heard it.

"First brother not again. Just look at this. He was doing the same. I am not some 5 year old kid who would trip on the furniture. Stop being like that." Kizy said while pointing towards the curved piece that Markus was about to attach the dining table.

"Great job Markus. Let me help you with all these." Victor said while grabbing another piece.

"Okay. Maybe doing it together would finish this task quickly and won't interfere with the party plans." Markus said while thinking about it.

"I'll join you as well." Harry exclaimed.

"Sure." Markus said.

"You guys can do the job. Me and Nicole would help Kizy choose a good dress and get ready before our lunch celebration." Rose said.

"Do we seriously need to do all this? Isn't this a little too much?" Kizy asked.

"Of course not! Anything for my precious granddaughter in law." Suddenly grandpa said while entering the house along with Mary.

"Kizy I have bought these dresses that I thought would suit you. Now choose one out of them." Mary said while placing almost 8-10 bags on the table, all belonging to 'Purple'.

"Mother, this wasn't needed. You have already gifted me a lot of dresses that I have hardly worn them once or twice. I can wear them again." Kizy said, seriously feeling that there was no need for so many gifts.

"If you are not going to wear the dresses by 'Purple', then who will. If needed, I would willingly give you all the dresses by 'Purple' instead of selling them to the customers." Mary said, making Kizy feel warm from inside.

"Thank you mother. This truly means a lot." Kizy said with a bright smile.

"Now let us get you dolled up within an hour. We will be starting our celebration then. Your husband has warned us to not stretch the party beyond two hours and tire his child out." Rose said to Kizy.

"I can clearly listen to everything that you are saying." Markus said from behind.

"I definitely said that for you. Of course you were supposed to hear it." Rose said before taking Kizy's hand and taking her back to the second floor, leaving a frustrated Markus behind.

"You.. I will.. You will see-" Markus was trying to speak when Victor came from behind.

"Ignore her. Let's finish these tasks off first." Victor said while pulling Markus towards the dining table.

"Markus, wait a minute. I need to talk to you about something serious." Grandpa said to Markus once Kizy was gone.
