Kira did not move even just a little.
She tried to listen to Tim's deep breathing.
Kira frowned, 'He sounds like he is fast asleep, did he just talk during his sleep?'
Tim smiled with his eyes closed as he sniffed Kira's scent, it feels so good to have her beside him.
Here, lying in his arms, he can embrace and kiss her.
He endured a few months, secretly watching her from afar.
He understands why Kira is not ready to give herself to him, and he won't force her.
He will wait for the right time when she's ready to surrender her self to him.
All he has to do is make her fall for him too.
Tim did not remove his arm around Kira until he fell asleep.
Kira was restless that night, it is nearly morning when she fell asleep.
----
Tim opened his eyes slowly.
He smiled when he saw Kira's face as soon as he opened his eyes!
Kira is fast asleep.
Tim raised his hand and touched Kira's face.
"Good morning my wife!" He whispered.
Kira moved and turn against him.
Tim sigh!
'You even like to turn against me even if you're asleep.' He thought.
'Seems like I need to work harder to have your heart.'
Tim gets up from his bed, he headed to the bathroom to clean up before he went downstairs.
He went straight to the kitchen to check on the breakfast, but he saw Helena in the kitchen, helping the servants.
"Good morning, Young Master." The servants greeted.
Helena turned when she heard the servants greeted Tim.
She bowed her head to Tim and greeted him, "Good morning, Young Master." She said before she straightened her body and looked at Tim straight to his eyes.
Tim gestured the servants to leave them.
He waited for them to be gone before he spoke.
"Don't be too formal." He said to Helena.
"I... I'm sorry, Young Master but I am used to it." Helena replied.
"Kira might wonder if you keep on treating me this way."
"She treated you like her own mother, so, I should do the same too."
"You should call me by my nickname, Tim," Tim said.
"Y-Yes, Young---" Helena paused as she remembers what Tim said to her just now.
"Yes, Tim."
Tim just nodded his head as a response.
"You don't have to help the servants do the works, you should be resting," Tim said.
"But Kira is picky with her foods, and I want to cook for her," Helena said.
"Auntie, you are sick and..."
"Weak?" Helena continued Tim's word.
Tim went silent.
"I am trying to be strong, Tim, I still want to see Kira make a family, I still want to be there if she needs a mother's comfort. I want to be there at times when she feels devastated. I may be sick and dying with this illness, but I am trying to show to Kira that I am strong, so please, don't treat me like I am too weak because I am trying to fight." Helena said.
Tim lowered his head as he heard Helena's word.
"I'm sorry, Auntie." He apologized.
"You shouldn't be apologizing to me, you should be saying those words to Kira," Helena said as if she meant something.
Tim looked at Helena but then he pulls back his gaze as if he felt guilty.
"Let's not talk about this auntie,"
"I shall leave now,"
"Kira is still asleep, please don't disturb her, I'll just go to my study room," He said before he walks out of the kitchen.
-----
Kira slowly opened her eyes.
She stared at the ceiling before she looks around, 'Oh! I am not really in the same house anymore!' she secretly said to her self.
Kira realized that everything is not a dream!
She instantly raised her body and checked her self!
She doesn't feel weird or pain in her body, though!
Kira tilted her head and realized that Tim is not beside her already!
She looked at the clock in the bedside table to check the time, it was already ten in the morning!
"Oh! He might have gone to work!" Kira felt relieved thinking that Tim is not home for the whole day!
Kira stretched her arms before she gets down of the bed and fixed the beddings before she gets ready to take a bath.
Kira is confident that she is alone, she takes off her nightgown and took a clean towel before she turns to head to the bathroom but as soon as she turns...
"Aahh!" Kira is startled to see Tim leaning on the door with his arms across his chest while staring at her!
Kira instantly covered her naked body with the towel in her hand!
"Hey! Don't you know how to knock before you open the door?!" She yelled in anger.
"Why do I have to knock?"
"This is also my room, isn't it?" Tim asked back.
"Aish!" Kira glared at Tim.
"You know what sweetheart?"
"You looked sexier with that look," Tim said in a hoarse voice.
Kira wrapped the towel to her body and ignored Tim's teasing manner.
"I didn't know that you have a good figure!"
"You shouldn't cover your body, I like to see you naked!" Tim doesn't plan to stop teasing Kira.
"This---"
"Agh!"
Kira felt really frustrated!
This man is starting to tease her again!
Kira thinks for a moment.
She should do something!
This man will continue on doing this if she won't fight back!
He will continue doing this to me!
I have to strike back!
With that thought,
Kira took a deep breath, changed her expression from being angry to a mysterious smile before she steps closer to Tim.
Tim did not move, he just stared at his wife as she approaches him.
Kira stopped a few steps away from Tim.
And without saying a word, she suddenly pulled the towel which covered her naked body and throws it on the floor which landed near Tim's feet.
"Is this enough, Mr. Tim?"
Tim was stunned for a moment!
He didn't expect Kira to do that!
He enjoyed seeing her reactions whenever he teases her, but he didn't know that she has guts to do this! He was so surprised!
Kira gathers all her prowess to do this!
It's embarrassing to show her naked body to Tim, but he already saw it earlier, so, what more she could hide?
Kira acted natural, even though she's too nervous!
She raised her head, revealed a smirk as she looks at Tim and spoke,
"Why are you stunned, Mr. Tan?"
"Is this your first time to see a naked woman in front of you?" Kira asked sarcastically.
Tim snapped back to his senses, he felt uneasy but he didn't show it to Kira, he still acted cool.
"You're showing your body to me." Tim did not answer Kira's question.
"Are you trying to seduce your husband?" he asked seductively.
