All The Patience

The sun was already rising high up in the sky. It was Sunday as well as the anticipated Janice's birthday.

At the residence of the KL Group family, Xander Yang was spending some time in the garden with his wife and their one year old daughter, who can barely started walking. The couple were watching their daughter who was walking around happily with some toys in her hand.

Just by a single glance, they seemed to be a great family. If only they know how vicous Xander Yang was!

"You're always so busy. It's really great to finally have a family time." Stella Kim, the wife of Xander Yang and the only daughter of KL Group said to her husband. Her eyes never leave her daughter.

"You should atleast look at me. At this rate, I think I will be jealous of my own daughter." Xander joked.

Xander Yang always put up an act of a loving husband. Though he even tried to kill his ex fiancee to marry his wife, he was never loyal to his wife. He only married her for money!

He always spent his time with many different women and he had a mistress too! He and his mistress have a deep relationship and they're together since two years ago!

The mistress is a smart woman unlike his naive wife and Xander received help from her smart brain in almost all his work! He needs her help; so he always keeps her close to him.

Stella Kim shifted her gaze to her husband. "Happy now?" She said with a smile.

She thinks that her husband is a good man. She was not aware of his vicious nature and if she was aware of it, she won't marry him. She was fooled all the time!

"Yes." Xander replied and smiled at his wife. He rose from his seat and said, "Come. It's almost time for lunch. I'll cook something great for you."

Four people were shopping together in a supermarket. They seemed to be in a light mood and the atmosphere is great. They picked up some groceries and wine for the birthday dinner.

The Lim siblings along with Aiden and Janice spent the whole noon shopping for some necessary items for the birthday party. Then they went to Janice's house to prepare dinner and to decorate the house. They also bought a large birthday cake for Janice.

When they reached the house, the women work on decoration and the men work on cooking dinner.

Hazel and Janice blow some balloons to decorate the small house. They also made some ribbons and hang it all around the house.

While the women were decorating the house, Aiden and Marcus were busy cooking outside. Janice's house has a small yet beautiful ground and the two men were preparing some dishes there.

Aiden looked at Marcus and he was quite amazed by his cooking skills. "Wow! Mr. Lim, I didn't think that Haze Group heir like you would have some skills in cooking! You're quite amazing." He praised Marcus.

Marcus let out a laughter. "I think the heir of Haze Group is Hazel, not me. Even the name of the Group belongs to her." He joked. "About what you said, people often said that to me. You know, Mr. Lee; I cooked for my sister since I was a child. I think it has become a habit." Marcus noticed Aiden's change in expression when he mentioned his sister. "I always cook for her even now." He said and burst into a laughter.

"Well, judging from her temper, I understands you." Aiden joked.

"Then Mr. Lee, I always wanted to ask you this. Why did you like my sister? In the past, men tried to win her heart because she's the daughter of Haze Group but the case is different with you. You only find out her identity after you confess your feelings." Marcus asked as he roast some beef. He really wanted to know why Aiden was drawn to his sister. She was never good to men who chased her.

Aiden was quiet for a while. He never thought why he liked Hazel. He struggled to come up with an answer. "I'm not sure, Mr. Lim. I think she has a good heart and maybe that draws me towards her. Now that I know her better than before, it makes me fall harder." He finally replied with a smile.

Marcus was more curious than before. He knows her better than before? Did she told him her secrets? He tried to asked Aiden about it but he immediately brushed off his own idea. He should instead ask Hazel.

"I hope you could be with her and take good care of her. She may look tough but she will be more fragile than you thought. If you are patient enough, I'm sure that she will accept you. Trust me; I'm the one who knows her the best." Marcus told Aiden. His voice was calm yet serious.

"Of course, Mr. Lim. When it comes to your sister, I have all the patience in this world." Aiden joked and let out a laughter along with it.

Aiden recalled what Hazel told her the other day. If she's not Richard Lim's biological daughter, then it means that she's not Marcus Lim's real sister as well. But he can tell that Marcus cared for her just like a real brother. It makes him feel very grateful to Marcus and he developed a sense of respect for this great man.

Marcus, too, thought about Aiden's words and he became more fond of him. He was sure that he will make a great partner for his sister!.....
