Chapter 67: Katherine Was Back
Unlike the usual mornings, Evelyn felt this one a lot more relaxed, something light in her chest now assured her that Kiana would be with them forever. She couldn’t help but hug her tightly, kissing the little girl’s head who had become such a precious person in her life in such a short time.
"Morning, Mommy." Kiana slowly woke up, feeling her mommy already up. She and her daddy were already awake but since Evelyn was sleeping, Zevian suggested she sleep with her while he went down to prepare a surprise for them.
"Good Morning, sweetie!" Evelyn wished brightly, smiling as Kiana sat up and kissed her forehead. Sitting up, she picked the little girl on her lap, and looking at the empty side beside them, she murmured, "Seems like your daddy is already up."
"He went to prepare a surprise for you," Kiana mumbled, barely containing her excitement.
"Surprise?"
The little girl gingerly nodded, a giggle escaping her lips. "Come, let’s get ready and go downstairs." She said, hopping down her mother’s lap and dragging her to the bathroom.
With an amused smile, Evelyn walked to the bathroom with Kiana. Once done, they walked downstairs, the murmurs from the workers puzzling her. With a frown, she carried Kiana toward the dining hall, her eyes catching sight of a crowd standing in front of the kitchen at a distance.
"What’s going on?" Evelyn inquired, taking a seat next to Avery who merely smiled in response.
"You will know very soon," Avery murmured, sheepishly smiling at her best friend. She picked up Kiana and both started chuckling discussing something, making Evelyn even more surprised.
