Call Doctor Rauf
Chapter 18
After a wonderful and delicious meal, Senior Lee escorted them to their newlywed room.
"I had this room prepared when I was frustrated with Mark for not wanting to settle down. I thought that I should just make it anyway, so it can be occupied as soon as he changes his mind and gets married. Now I'm glad I did, now both of you can just settle in. I hope you like the decor," Senior Lee explained before he bid his farewell so the couple could finally have their privacy.
Zuzzy wanted to laugh because the room was extravagant. It felt more like a luxurious hotel suite than a typical newlywed bedroom.
She took her luggage and brought it into the walk-in closet. There were two walk-in closets. One was obviously for Mark, as it was filled with men's apparel, while the other one was vacant. It reminded her of her closet in her old bedroom at the Shi's residence. It was also fully filled with branded clothes. She looked at her one and only suitcase now. What a contrast...
Mark seemed to have read her thoughts as he commented, "We can go shopping later. Let's buy all the things you want, like before."
Zuzzy sneered. For some reason, expensive branded clothes didn't attract her anymore. Probably because she had gotten used to living a simple life as Beatrice Yang. Beatrice had always worn modest clothes with reasonable prices like the dress she was wearing now.
She arranged her things very quickly and went to the bathroom. "Wow..." She gasped in awe as she saw a whirlpool bathtub, a separate walk-in rain showers for two, and a confined space for an infrared sauna. It was not just a bathroom. It was a private spa!
She must admit, she missed this kind of lavish lifestyle. It was convenient and comfortable. Oh, how she wanted to try out that whirlpool bath in their bathroom right now, but she wanted to do it unrestrained when no one else was around. And right now, Mark was still there, in the room. So, perhaps later...
When she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Mark in the middle of arranging a pillow and a comforter on a large couch, which was facing a large flat-screen television. "I will sleep here, so you take the bed," he said casually.
Zuzzy did not respond because he only did what she had requested before. She told him that she would not share a bed with him, so one of them should sleep on the couch. Zuzzy sighed. Mark is actually a gentleman.
"Let's go shopping and buy you more things. I bet the stuff in your suitcase only fits half of the closet's first row," Mark jested.
Yera unknowingly smiled because it was true. "We don't need to buy. I'm already used to wearing simple clothes like this, and what I have is enough."
"Nah… Come on," Nark insisted as he grabbed Zuzzy's hand to walk out of the room. Zuzzy stared at his grasp on her hand. Weird... But for some reason, she felt comfortable with him holding her hand like that.
They saw Senior Lee in the living room, and Mark informed him, "We'll go out to buy some things for Zuzzy. I'll let you know if we'll join you for dinner."
Senior Lee nodded and said, "Alright... Enjoy…"
"What do you think about my daughter-in-law? Isn't she pretty? My son really knows how to choose well," Senior Lee bragged to their head butler, Gideon.
"Yes, Sir. I hope your wish of having a grandchild will be granted soon," said Butler Gideon with a broad smile on his face as he poured a cup of coffee for his master.
"Well, just make sure we give them enough privacy if you know what I mean. Just don't disturb them when they're alone. How about this? Let's come up with a plan to get those two grow even more attached to each other?" Senior Lee suggested, to which Butler Gideon nodded in agreement.
Mark took Zuzzy to one of the most exclusive boutiques in the city, in which there was a vast collection of branded clothes, shoes, and bags which she could choose from. But Zuzzy was still hesitant.
Mark began to choose some outfits for her, and his enthusiasm made it seem like he was the one who was going to wear them all. Zuzzy could not help but smile and commented, "Are you the one who's going to wear all that?"
Mark laughed and answered, "Well, you still look so reluctant to choose, so I'm just helping you out. Go try them on and see if they fit. I bet they'll all look good on you, though. I have a great eye for fashion, darling."
Her heart would beat irregularly whenever Mark called her 'Darling'. Just like now. So she immediately turned around and went toward one of the fitting rooms to hide her reddening cheeks.
Mark was still smiling as his eyes followed Zuzzy's back. "She's now smiling without her knowing," he mumbled. He deliberately didn't say anything about her smiling because he was afraid she would be more self-conscious about it and would only try to hide it next time.
He could feel that they were progressing somehow. Tomorrow, Zuzzy would report for duty as a new Doctor at Lee Hospital. Although she would still go by Beatrice's identity because she didn't want to reveal her true identity yet..
When Beatrice came out of the fitting room, and Mark could only stare at her in amazement. She looked so stunning in the dress she was trying on. He cursed inwardly because he could feel his buddy down there stir. Had he become a pervert ever since he met her? More precisely, ever since she gave him that hug in front of Richard's apartment that day.
"What's your shoe size?" he asked Zuzzy, who immediately gave him the information.
"Sit here," Mark instructed, to which Zuzzy obeyed. He kneeled down to put the shoes on her feet.
Zuzzy hesitated and said, "No… I can do it myself."
But Mark pretended he didn't hear her, as he proceeded to gently pull her leg and guided her foot into the shoe. But instantly, he was cursing inside. Why didn't he just listen to Zuzzy and let her do it by herself? The sight of Zuzzy's smooth legs was distracting him.
He abruptly stood up. His buddy seemed to be overly excited at the sight of Zuzzy's bare legs. 'What's wrong with you? It's only perfectly shaped legs… It's not the first time you see legs! How come you're reacting like this!' Mark scolded his buddy below...
