chapter 65

Alice and Alex both smiled happily, Alice walked to him hugged him, and gave him an envelope picking from the table, "Baby, this is the photo of the girl"Daniel took the envelope with trembling hands; he forced a smile on Alice trying hard to control his tears.He again kept the envelope on the table and said toAlice, "Mom, I will freshen up" and without waiting for Alice's reply he walked to his bedroom.He entered his bedroom and locked the door, hedirectly entered the bathroom and stood below the shower removing his clothes.Unknowingly tears started rolling down his cheeks,for the first time in life he loved a girl but now he cannot be with her for his mother's happiness.Yesterday night he was promising her to be with her forever and now he cannot be with her ever.Maybe this was the punishment for him if he had ever broken any girl's heart.He was unable to make out a way to tell Mili about all this, if this was some other girl he wouldn't have bothered but Mili, he cannot lie, he made up his mind after breakfast he will meet and tell her everything.The thought of losing her was killing him thousand times, he doesn't know how he will live without her.He took a bath for around fifteen minutes and cameout. He wore his clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast with his parents.He went down and heard his parents talking about the marriage plan.When Alice's eyes fell on Daniel, she was shocked and hurt seeing his red eyes, she understood he cried.She wanted to go and hug him but Alex held her and said to Daniel, "Dan, come here and at least see the photo of the girl"Daniel walked towards them lifelessly, Alice wanted to say something but Alex held her hands stopping her.Daniel gave a forceful smile and open envelope and pulled out the photo.Daniel was about to see the photo when Alex said ina stern voice stopping Daniel's action, "Even if you don't like her you will have to marry her"Alice lost her patience and said, "Enough Alex, can't you see his face stop pulling his leg now""Baby you see the photo and tell me whether you like the girl or not if you don't like her than I will deny to her parents"Daniel nodded sadly and turned the photo in his hand, he was unable to believe it was Mili's photo.He immediately looked up happily and asked, "Mom, you chose her for me?"Before Alice could reply, Alex slapped slowly onDaniel's shoulder and said, "You brat you really thought that you will propose her in front of whole city and we will not know about it"Daniel was beyond happy, he picked Alice in his arms and started going round and round shouting, "You are the best Mom"Alice was telling him, "Daniel baby please keep me down" but Daniel went dumb.Alex was shouting, "Leave my wife, you idiot, she may fall""Leave her, only I can pick her in my arms, see Alice I always told you he is my love rival from last life"Alice felt like banging her head, how can he be jealous of his own son and that too at this age.After sometimes Daniel kept Alice on the floor and Alex immediately hugged her, Daniel smirked and asked, "Old man you are saying only you can pick her in your arms don't you think you are too old to pull such stunts.""You back might hurt"Alex was about to reply but Alice interrupted and said, "Now let's first have breakfast." she cannot tolerate this father and sontogether, nodding to her they all walked to the dining room.While having breakfast, Daniel suddenly asked, "Mom whose idea was this of playing prank on me?"Alice's food choked because it was Alex's idea but still she tried to take the blame but seeing her first reaction Daniel understood it was all his old Dad's idea.He looked at Alex and whispered near Alex's ears, "Mr. Old William now you just wait for my revenge"Alex looked at him angrily and said, "Can you see this honey, how he is threatening his Dad?"Before Alice could say anything Daniel sat straight making puppy eyes and an innocent face, "Mom, I didn't do anything"Alice sighed helplessly and said, "Can you two please let me have my breakfast in peace?"Alex was about to say something but his eyes fell on Daniel and he was smirking at him. It was Daniel's habit from birth.After so many years Alex is still like a kid, Alice is his precious toy which he doesn't want to share with anyone.On the other hand, James was so irritated nowadays from the time Alexa had started working in her restaurant which he gifted her she is hell busy.It seems like she has forgotten that she has a poor husband and He is yearning for her love, although he picks and drops her every day but by the time they reach home she falls asleep in the car.He somehow manages to make her eat her dinner; she is working like she has a whole family to run.Poor James would clean half-asleep Alexa every night and make her sleep.A few days back he told her while going to drop her, "Honey why don't you hire best chefs and be a little free"She replied innocently, "James, baby it's not about running a restaurant it's about the taste and people come to my restaurant to have the taste of my food I don't want to disappoint them"James nodded silently because he had made his plan that he is going to have his wife only for him, she should cook only for him, not for others and too that for some money.Alexa was cooking some dishes, whenever she cooks she is so engrossed in her work that she forgets her surroundings, and as usual she was lost in her cooking and spices land.James slowly entered the kitchen from the back door, all the other cooks and helping staff gasped in horror seeing the mafia boss coming from the back door like thieves.He signalled everyone to keep quiet by keeping his finger on his lips and leaving the place, everyone left the kitchen without making any noise.
