Chapter 18

A Governess for Kian

            The next morning, Kian woke up like the day before. Shane and maids had waiting for him and waited to serve him.  He woke up, had a little breakfast, then took a bath. It would be his daily routine, having him served as a little lady, got bathed and dressed with a nice sweet gown.

            After having bath, Kian was set before the toilette table and let maids do his hair. It was almost ready when Shane came with the news.

    “You look pretty today, Little Miss,” Shane said with polite without any attention to mock him.

    “Thank you, Shane,” somehow he started to get used it, and yes, he looked pretty today.

    “Well, I have a good news, Miss.”

    “What is it?”

    “Master will come home today.”

    “He will?” with enthusiasm. He couldn’t believe he would this happier having his father home. The feeling he never felt before.

    “Yes, and he will come with a guest for you.”

That froze Kian.

    “A guest?” But he let out a grin, “Father Simon will come, isn’t?” with full hoping. He missed that old man, and all sisters at St. Peter. “Father had visiting St. Peter then asked Father Simon to come, didn’t he?”

Shane had to smile, “No, Miss, I’m afraid it’s not Father Simon.”

Kian let out a disappointed face, “So who will be?”

    “You will know, Miss, and I’m sure you will like her.”

    “Her?” that a bit shock him.

    “Yes.”

Kian went think. “Does she come for me?”

    “Yes, she comes for you.”

    “Would she be my friend?”

    “Yes, she will,” Shane with a smile.

Kian still in wondered, but had to smile. He would have another friend, even he didn’t know her yet. Hope she would be nice to him, and could be his best friend.

            Kian waited with impatient. He wondered how she would look like. Would she at the Kiane age? And would be she nice to him? Even when he had breakfast with his brother Byron, he couldn’t hold his excitement of her coming. And Byron could read that.

    “Shane must have been told you about your guest, hasn’t he?” he said with teasing tone.

Kian had to blush, “Yes.”

Byron had to smile. He loved this innocent boy, so pure and natural.

    “She will come, and you will like her,” Byron with no doubt.

 Kian let out a little smile, but still couldn’t hold his impatient.

Then finally they heard a wagon coming.

    “There they come,” Byron spoke with raised from his sit.

Kian’s heart lumped. They’d come!

He rose from his sit and followed his brother, with Shane behind him.

They stood on the front door, waited they come inside.  And they were.

Lord McFadden came with a smile, greeted everyone there including him.

    “How is my little lady, here?” he hug him.

    “Great, Father!” Kian replayed with no second thought.

Lord McFadden smiled relieve, the boy getting relax now.

But Kian froze with a young pretty lady was behind him. She looked much older from him. She was in middle of thirtieth. Was she his guest? Didn’t she look to old for being his friend?

Byron greeted her with full smile and big hug, like they had not seen for a long time. Kian looked at her with full question.

    “And this is Adeline,” his father introduced him to this young lady. “Adeline, this is Ms. Jane Watson,” he introduced her to him.

    “Hello, Adeline, nice to meet you, dear,” a soft voice came from her, as she bended before him. She gave a beautiful smile, and looked at him with carefully within controlling her emotion.

    “Nice to meet you to, Miss Watson,” Kian gave his sweetest smile.

She touched his skin gently, “You are as beautiful as her, and we would have much time together.”

Kian bit his lips. She knew! She knew he was an impostor. Who was this lady?

She rose up and turned to Shane, and greeted him warmly.

    “Hello, Shane?”

    “Miss Jane,” Shane gave a little bow.

She turned to Lord McFadden, “How is Milady?”

    “She’s fine. She had waiting for you,” his father replayed, and led her to her room.

The Young lady just nodded and followed Lord McFadden.

Kian was still bit his lips when they left him. He turned to Shane, and Shane just gave him a little smile. He turned to Byron, but he seemed not bother him.  ‘Hello, is there somebody tell who is this lady, what will she’s doing to me?’

Kian had to wait till she came out from mother’s room after visiting her.

Kian was invited to library room where His Father and Miss Watson had waited him. He sat on the couch where Shane stood not far behind him and watched his father still chatted with Miss Watson. Kian scanned the lady from head to toe. She’s such a lady. They way she talked, the way she sat, and even the way she walked. He loved it. This was how a lady supposed to be. He wished he could be a lady like her. Kian couldn’t leave his eyes from this high lady.

Then suddenly she looked over him with a smile. He right away dropped his eyes, not dare looked at her.

    “Kian,” Master’s voice called him gently.

Kian froze. His father called him by his real name. He must be mad at him. He slightly raised his head, but still not meeting those eyes.

    “Forgive me, Father,” there’s a little tremble voice in it.

    “No, there’s not necessary, son. Raise your eyes, please….”

Kian gulped and slightly raised his eyes meet his father’s.

     “Alright, Kian, I know you must be confused with all this, and I will explain it.”

Kian was still in silent.

    “Miss Watson is used to be Adeline’s governess. Do you know what governess is?”

 Kian had to shake his head.

    “Well, governess is a private teacher for children. She teaches everything; the knowledge and even attitude.”

Kian listened with mesmerize. She must be so clever.

    “And Miss Watson had been Adeline’s governess since she was five till she died,” he had to controlled his emotion bringing up his little girl death.

    “And now as we have you, we believed we need her for you.”

 Kian bit his lips.

    “You are Adeline, now, Kian, and you have to be a real Adeline. She will be your governess and teach you everything, even how to be a great lady. As I said, you will have what Adeline had. Is that alright, Kian?”

Kian nodded, “Yes, Father.”

    “No need to worry everything, Kian, Miss Watson is a fine and sweet lady, she wouldn’t be harsh on you, and she wouldn’t be mad at you, unless you were naughty. Hope you are not, Kian,” he gave a grin smile.

    “No, father,” with a shaking his head.

He smiled satisfied. “Yes, I believe that, son.”

    “Well, I better leave you two alone. I believe you need to get to know each other.”

    “Yes, of course Sir,” Miss Watson replayed with a smile.

Lord McFadden nodded, and rose form his seat.

    “Alright, I leave you now. Be good, Kian,” with a smile he left them.

And Kian was trapped nervously with this lady. He even not dare to see her eyes. Fortunately Shane was there, he felt not much alone.

    “Can I sit there?” she asked him gently jumped him up, break the silent.

Shyly Kian nodded. And she moved to sit just next him. Kian swallowed nervously.

As she sat beside him, she smiled at him, and read the nervously.

She touched his hand, “Don’t worry, I wont bite you, Kian,” she gave a sweet smile.

Kian blushed.

    “Mhmm… what do you want me to call you?”

Kian stunned. What that supposed to mean? She had called him Kian.

    “Anything you pleases, Mrs. Watson,” he answered slightly.

    “No, I need your permission, what would you like to call,” with a nice smile. “And please, it’s Jane, you can call me Jane. Adeline used to call me Jane.”

Kian bit his lips. He just nodded.

    “So, how I shall call you? Kian or Adeline?” as she hadn’t the answered from Kian.

    “Adeline will be alright, Miss Jane.”

 She smiled. “Are you sure? I shouldn’t call you Kian?”

    “Everybody called me Adeline now.”

    “And do you like it?”

Kian was numb. ‘What a question!’

He nodded slightly, “Yes, I’m Adeline now, Miss, and that’s why I’m here.”

Jane Watson took a deep breath with a smile, “And that’s why I’m here too, Kian. I know you are not Adeline, and you don’t supposed to be her, but you had to. So I’m here to help you to be Adeline, Adeline in your way. Behind this dress there’s a lovely boy, but I could change it to be a true lady. And you can be a perfect lady as everyone wished you.”

Kian bit his lips. It sounded good, even a bit bizarre to hear.

    “How that sound, Kian?”

    “Good.”

    “And is that alright for you?”

 Kian had to nod. “For Lord McFadden and Milady.”

Jane Watson smiled. “How you’d feel about them?”

 Kian went silent. “I love them. They adopted me. They are my parents I never had. I love them.”

Jane Watson had heard about this boy, where he came from and he could understand the boy’s feeling.

    “And are you willing to do anything for them?”

    “Yes, for Milady.”

    “Even if they have to turn you to a girl, being Adeline?”

Kian had to nod. “Yes.”

    “And how long you could accept it?”

Kian bit his lips nervously. Gosh, what a question! Was it this a hard question for an eleven years boy?   

    “As long as it needed,” he answered slightly.

    “Even it took your whole life?”

Kian even nervous. He was getting uncomforted with this lady. He didn’t like the questions, and he never thought about this question. He didn’t know the answer.

    “Why did you ask this!?” a very straight question came from Kian spontaneous, and Miss Jane didn’t even surprise with the reaction, like she had thought about it.

    “Because you’re gonna be a lady, Kian. Forgive me for my questions. I knew it’s not easy for you. But you are gonna be one. I could change you from a straight boy to a sweet little lady, and it needs willingness from you. It would be hard for you if you couldn’t accept it. You need to accept your role now, and that’s how you will accept your status as a lady. That’s why I asked you, so you can be a true lady,” Jane had to straight to this boy even she knew this would scared him.

Kian went silent, absorb the words. Yes, she was right. He looked to the young lady. She starred him warmly, waiting for the answer.

     “Do you wish it, Kian?”

He nodded slightly.

    “I want to be a great lady for Father and Mother. I couldn’t let them down. They want me to be Adeline, and I shall be Adeline,” there’s no doubt at all.

Jane Watson smiled, “Then you’ll be.”

Kian sighed with looked to those warm beautiful eyes.

    “Is it hard, to be a true lady? I heard some girl having hard time for being a one.”

Jane Watson had to smile, “It depends on you, Kian. And I knew it will be hard for you as you are not a girl, but I promise I’ll make it easy, Kian. It won’t be that hard.”

Kian just nodded.

    “Miss Jane, …” he hesitated to ask, but had to. “Could I come back as boy someday?”

Jane bit his lips, but she gave him smile, “It’s only you who can answer that, Kian.”

Kian went silent, and didn’t ask again.

    “Are you married, Miss?” with his innocent eyes.

Jane had to laugh with the question.  “Yes, I was.”

    “Do you have child?”

    “Yes, I have two boys. The older one is at your age Kian. So I know how to handle a boy like you,” with a cheeky smile.

Kian had to blush.

    “You are such a beautiful and clever boy, Kian. You are as much as look like Adeline, you’ll be a true Adeline, Kian.”

Kian didn’t replay, but he knew he could be Adeline as his foster parents wish it.

    “And you look so pretty with this dress,” Jane added for teas him.

Kian could only smile. “Yes, I know,” even blushed. Yes he could be one great lady
