Novel Full Chapter 834 TRADITION
Chapter 834 TRADITION
And sure enough, when Misha and Kia were about to sleep together, Mika woke up because she didn't find her mother by her side.
Before this, they always slept together in one room, because Kia could not afford a two-room apartment. And Mika always slept with her mother beside her.
"Mommy?" Mika's voice was heard from behind the door before it was pushed open, revealing a small figure holding a stuffed rabbit in her arms.
On the other hand, Misha immediately got away from Kia and rubbed his face roughly. Sometimes, his urges got the best of him and here he was, stuck between frustration and helplessness.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Kia chuckled at Misha's facial expression.
"Come here," Kia said, reaching out her hands to Mika, who then climbed onto the bed. Misha helped the little girl to sleep between the two of them.
"You are sleeping together, but did not invite me, why?" said Mika, grumbling, she buried her head in Kia's arms, getting her mother to all herself and not letting Misha get close.
"Yes, Mommy fell asleep while talking to him, so he let me sleep here," said Kia, giving an excuse. Luckily, Mika was too sleepy to ask more critical questions and a few moments later, she had fallen asleep.
"Looks like I have to take a cold shower," Misha muttered as he got off the bed and walked toward the bathroom, which made Kia laugh.
======================
For the last few weeks, Kia had been very busy preparing for her wedding and although it was a small party attended by only fifty people and it was to be held in the back garden of the Tordoff residence, near an artificial lake, the preparations took up a lot of time and manpower.
The one who was most excited about this party was Mika, she looked so enthusiastic about her white dress and also the flowers that she would hold during the ceremony.
Every morning, she would ask to be taken to the site where the wedding was to take place, to see how far the decorations had been done.
And of course, the most nervous of them all was Kia, because she had never imagined getting married like this.
Luckily, Keira came to her aid. She would be the maid of honor while her little girl would be the ring barrier.
And Candice, she made things much easier for her. She knew what to do and what to prepare, so that Kia wasn't so confused about the decorations and the food menu, as it seemed Candice had quite a bit of experience organizing these kinds of things.
"Kia," Candice called one day, she was looking for Kia who was accompanying Mika to play in the park with her rabbits and three babysitters who surrounded them. "Can we talk for a minute?"
"Oh, okay," said Kia, she then stood up and approached Candice, who put her hand on Kia's arm.
"What is it?" asked Kia confusedly because this was the first time she saw Candice being a bit nervous. Was there a problem with her plan?
"You still haven't found a wedding dress that you like, have you?" asked Candice, starting the conversation.
And it was true that Kia still hadn't found a wedding dress that fit her taste. She wanted a simple dress, but most of the designs she saw didn't really please her.
It was not that she wanted to be picky or anything, but she wanted the wedding dress to be passed down to Mika someday and become a tradition. She wanted to have a family tradition like that, because she didn't think she ever had a family tradition to look forward to when she was with her family back then.
"Yeah, I haven't found it yet." Kia and Candice walked into the house, where she was led to the room that Candice and Lexus used when they stayed at the Tordoff residence.
It seemed Candice knew about Kia's thoughts.
"I don't mean to pressure you or belittle the family tradition you want to build, but how about you carry on the family tradition in my family?" Candice asked gently. "Since you have received the ring tradition in my family, so why don't you wear the wedding dress as well?"
Kia was shocked when she heard this, she didn't say anything and looked at Candice silently, as she waited for her to explain what she meant.
"If you don't mind and if you feel it would be suitable, then how about you use the wedding dress from my family? This wedding dress has been worn for three generations and if you wear it, then you will be the one to wear this dress in the fourth generation." Candice then opened the door to her room, where there was already a very beautiful and elegant pale white wedding dress.
The dress didn't look extravagant and exaggerated, instead it looked a little old-fashioned with an outdated style, but on the other hand, the dress seemed to have a long story and had a deep impression.
"This dress is indeed an old dress, but because the material used is very good, even though it looks outdated, you can change it so that it is according to what you want, if you really want to wear this dress at your wedding."
"No," said Kia in a low voice, as she entered Candice's room, walking toward the dress.
"Oh." Candice looked a bit disappointed when she heard Kia's answer, but then she smiled and seemed to understand. "In that case, we will find another designer to make your wedding dress because there is only a little time left."
However, Kia then realized the answer she gave just now and realized that Candice had misunderstood the answer.
"No, no, that's not what I meant," said Kia quickly, waving her hands. "I mean, I don't want to change anything about this dress, I want to wear this dress as it is. This dress is so pretty, Mrs. Tordoff."
Candice seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but then she reprimanded Kia quietly. "Didn't I tell you that you should call me Mom, like Misha did? You're about to become a part of this family, so that means you're already my daughter right?"
Kia bit her lips and couldn't hold back her tears as she spoke. "Thank you for including me in your family tradition," she said in a low voice.
But then, Candice stepped forward and hugged Kia. "You've become part of this family, Kia, of course you're part of the tradition too. This is your family, remember that. You can depend on us and there's no need to feel shy." Candice hugged a crying Kia.
Kia couldn't find the words to reply to Candice's words, but she felt very happy and at the same time felt very sad.
She imagined her mother would do this to her and give her the wedding dress she would wear when she got married.
However, there was one incident that had remained in her heart until now. It was when she overheard a conversation between her mother and Alia.
Where Amber said that only Alia could wear her wedding dress and she would only pass it on to her last child.
"What if Sis Kia gets married first? Shouldn't she wear this wedding dress before me?" Alia asked that at the time and Kia couldn't help but continue overhearing what her mother answered.
"Sis Kia can wear another dress, she doesn't really like this style, she won't want to wear it and besides, mom kept this wedding dress just for Alia when she gets married."
At that time, Alia was eleven years old and when Amber left Alia's room, naively, Kia asked about the truth of these words.
Because at that point, let alone the style of dress she liked, her mother didn't even know what her favorite food was.
And the answer Amber gave didn't make her feel any better.
"Mother said that just to get Alia excited about living her life and having dreams of getting married."
"But, are you not going to give the dress to me if I get married first?"
And until now, Kia still remembered the answer Amber gave her then.
"Don't be childish, Kia, your sister is sick, you won't have a problem with me giving her this dress, right?"
"But, are you going to let me wear it?"
Amber looked at her for a moment and shook her head. "No, I promised Alia that I will give it to her already."
"Oh…"
==========================
And the day the Lyrants had been waiting for had finally come, but it was also the day they dreaded the most.
Because they didn't know what Kia was going to do.
They hoped that Kia would come with an intention to invite them and make peace. Couldn't this be resolved properly as there was no need to prolong this issue?
The misunderstanding between them would be cleared right then and there if Kia was willing to make peace and accept them back.
And on the way to the restaurant where they promised to meet with Kia, the four people were silent, as if they were busy with their own thoughts.
They looked so tense and uncomfortable.
And when they arrived at the restaurant, a car came first and stopped right in front of their car in front of the lobby.
The car door opened and there she was. Kia came together with Mika. Both of them were wearing clothes of the same design, but in two slightly different shades of yellow and both of them looked happy.
"Mika… Kia…" Amber was about to get out of the car and go straight to them, but Alia held her mother back.
