Novel Full 232 232. Abandon Marlus and adopt Kizy
“Brat! Is 8.30 am early for you? You just came here. I will definitely slap some sense in you for betraying us.” Grandpa said, his tone complaining.
“And when did I betray you?” Markus asked, shrugging.
“Why didn’t you tell us about last night’s celebration? We would have accompanied you and made it a grand celebration.” Grandma said from behind, her voice no less complaining than that of grandpa.
“Why are you people so much interested in being the third wheel between me and my wife?” Markus asked.
“Markus!” Kizy exclaimed.
“Hehe.. grandpa and grandma, it must have skipped his mind. How about this – let’s have a family breakfast.” Kizy suggested, trying to salvage the situation.
“Don’t worry, child. We had already ordered the butler for the same. Only my grand daughter in law has brains.” Grandma said.
“Yeah. Sometimes I feel like abandoning Markus and adopting her as my granddaughter.” Grandpa chirmed in between.
“Yeah forget it. Anyways nobody treats me as the son of Evans family.” Markus said, pouting.
“Go Kizy, quickly freshen up. The breakfast is ready and will be served as soon as you come down.” Grandma said, the old couple completely ignoring Markus who was left sulking at his grandparent’s actions.
Within half an hour, both Kizy and Markus went downstairs, only to see a minimally but beautifully decorated hall.
Breakfast was already served while grandpa, grandma, Mary and even Nicole were present at the dining table.
“Happy anniversary!!” All of them wished together while Markus and Kizy approached the table.
“Thank you!” Kizy said with a huge smile while Markus just kept his sulky face.
The family had a happy breakfast while no one paid any attention to Markus purposefully.
Finally no longer being able to remain calm, Markus made a loud clattering noise while picking food in his spoon.
“Bro, are you sure that you know how to eat? I thought you were good at table manners.” Nicole said, trying to stifle her laughter.
“You want to have some good beating as your food? Or should I arrange some blind dates for you?” Markus asked menacingly.
“You… you-” Nicole was still speaking when grandpa interrupted.
“Nicole, when are you going to tell me about that guy?” Grandpa spoke.
“Ehhh grandpa. Give me some more time. I need to get adapted to his kind of lifestyle. You know how difficult his job is.” Nicole said, scratching her head at her stupid statements.
Kizy sighed a breath of relief, thankful that Nicole didn’t create more trouble.
“Wait wait wait. Who is that guy? What job? Why don’t I know nothing about this?” Markus asked, suddenly interested in gossip.
“Her love-” Grandpa was about to speak when suddenly Kizy cut him off.
“Grandpa, you promised to give her some time and keep this a secret.” Kizy said, hoping that grandpa won’t disclose anything about her lie to Markus, as he would instantly understand her trap.
“Sorry child I forgot.” Grandpa said, not speaking anything more about the topic.
“You can still tell me right?” Markus asked.
“Don’t you understand human language?” Grandpa said before resuming his eating as if nothing happened.
“You all definitely adopted me. I can’t be your real grandchild.” Markus said angrily, almost about to get up from the table when Kizy placed her hand on his thigh, unintentionally a little close to a certain part of his body, making him freeze in his actions.
Markus turned to look at his wife, not believing his wife would have such a dirty mind. And true to his expectations, Kizy was completely oblivious to the area where she had placed her hand for stopping Markus.
He bent a little, his face closer to her ear.
“Wifey never knew you had such a naughty side to you. But you are truly brave!” He whispered so that others couldn’t hear them.
Kizy was confused about what Markus was talking when he gestured to Kizy to look down. And instantly Kizy took her hand away, a slight blush gradually appearing on her face.
This way the breakfast went on smoothly. The family bade the couple goodbye.
“My people have sent the dress. They would be here soon.” Mary reminded Markus before leaving.
“What dress?” Kizy asked after the rest of the members were gone.
“We have a conference this afternoon.” Markus said.
“What for?” Kizy asked, not having the right feeling about this.
“That’s the surprise, my little lamb.” Markus said.
Kizy just looked at him confusedly before entering back inside the house.
Soon a man and a woman arrived at Markus’s house, carrying several bags.
“Good afternoon Young Master and Young Madam.” They both greeted the couple together.
“Good afternoon.” Kizy replied back with a familiar smile, as the man and woman were none other than the ones who had helped her on several occasions with her outfit and makeup.
“Just give me my outfit. And you have one hour for her.” Markus replied, his bossy tone immediately coming up.
“Yes young master.” The man replied before going inside the room with Kizy who shook her head at Markus’s bossy side.
*ONE HOUR LATER, HALL, MARKUS’s HOUSE*
“Man, it’s been an hour!! I know she is ugly, but you don’t have to work that hard to make her look a little presentable. It’s getting late, just let her look ugly-” Markus was still speaking when the door to the room opened, making Markus freeze in his place.
Kizy, who was wearing a black halter neck backless mermaid gown, perfectly accentuating her figure and curves, was standing at the door.
Her hair was tied into a low bun, while a few curly strands were left loose. A beautiful diamond studded ornament was placed above her bun, shining no less than Kizy.
While her face looked like a piece of art. Though minimal makeup, her lips in the shade of hot red were more than enough to make it difficult for Markus to concentrate elsewhere on her body, while her eyes kept shining as if the whole universe was captured in them.
“Anything else? You’d better close your mouth or do you want to catch some flies?” Kizy asked, while walking near Markus before placing her hand below his chin and closing it.
