Chapter 101
Regarding Kayleigh’s trust, Anika was touched but helpless.
She moved out of her nagging attitude and said, "Alright, don't expect too much from me.Aren't you afraid that I'll lose the money?"
Kayleigh smiled and said, "I'm not afraid.Anyway, with Zac here, he can always provide more protection than others.Being husband and wife is a good thing."
Anika did not expect Kayleigh to have such an idea.
She twitched her lips and said, "I don't think I'm the one you can entrust your money with “
It was clearly Zac.
The feeling of trust dissipated.
Alena patted Kayleigh on the shoulder and said, "Grandpa Philipp loves you.He doesn't want to look for an unpleasant marriage partner.Maybe in the end, you and the other party will feel the same.Why don't you tell me what kind of person you like?"
"What kind of person do I like ...maybe at least he should have a good appearance.He can't be as dull as my brother and my father.’ Kayleigh dragged her chin with one hand and continued, "It would be best if they met accidentally, just like Nika and Zac.It would be great if that kind could be my groom.’
Looking at Kayleigh’s shining eyes, Anika felt that she was completely immersed in the fantasy of love for her idol drama.
Just as she was about to say something, a clear voice sounded from behind ...
"Anika! You guys are also here!"
Anika turned around and saw Tony and Leo standing a few steps away.
Tony still maintained his enthusiastic attitude, but Leo did not know why his expression was not very good at the moment.
Tony led Leo forward, greeted Anika, and waved his hand to greet Alena, whom he had seen at Robert's funeral.
When he looked at Kayleigh, he hesitated, "Who is this?"
"Hello, Kayleigh’’ Tony frowned and thought for a moment before muttering, "Why does this name sound familiar?"
Kayleigh did not think too much and habitually said, "Oh, Kayden is my brother."
She just felt that Kayden’s name should be more familiar than hers.
Tony's expression froze for a moment before he quietly raised his eyebrows, "So it's Miss Jenkins.Nice to meet you."
After saying that, he looked at Anika and said, "Anika, you guys have a good chat.Let's go to the next room first"
Immediately after, he pulled Leo, who had been silent for a long time, to the booth next door.
Anika felt that Tony's expression was a little strange, but before she could think about it, Kayleigh spoke to her again, and she quickly withdrew her gaze.
On the other side, as soon as Tony sat down, he immediately took out his phone and sent a Viber message to Zac, who was far away from home...
Tony: [Zac! This is not good, Kayden saw that your relationship with sister-in-law is strong, so he actually sent his sister to take Anika!]
A few minutes later, only then did Zac reply, [?]
Tony secretly took a picture of Anika and Kayleigh chatting happily and sent it to Zac.
[Kayden's sister and Anika is chatting like crazy.I heard her mention her brother.Is she here to influence Anika? But don't worry, Zac! I'll find a way to tear them apart immediately! ] Tony's ears were very sensitive.
Kayleigh had indeed just mentioned Kayden to Anika from the card seat next door.
"Nika, something's wrong with my brother recently.He hasn't quarreled with grandfather since he came back from JH City.My mother thinks he's compromised, but I don't think so.Actually, what Kayleigh wanted to say was that she felt that Kayden had not yet given up on Anika.
It could be seen that Anika’s expression was faint, so she could only put her words back.
After meeting Anika with great difficulty, Kayleigh did not want to stifle their relationship.
Instead, she talked about other things.
"And Lucy, I saw her meet Owen in the car the other day.She always wants to compare with you.Be careful"
When Anika heard Kayleigh’s chatter, she knitted her brows and nodded.
"I understand,’ she said softly.
"Nika is married and doesn't contact Kayden.Lucy shouldn't be looking for her again, right?"
After Alena finished speaking, she rolled her eyebrows and said, "But not necessarily.After all, I can't understand Lucy's prejudiced brain circuit that insists she was robbed her of her things."
Kayleigh stirred up the cocktail in front of her, "Her makeup brand has had a lot of negative news recently.I think she's in a bad mood lately and she has to pretend to be fine and go to my mother's side to pay her respects.I'm really tired for her.’
"Isn't it good to be a woman with money? You can live lavishly."
"Actually, I can understand.She used to be held in her hands and admired by rich families.Now her reputation is ruined and she can't accept the disparity.She can only barely maintain her face and bind my brother.But I bet my brother can't marry her’’ Kayleigh said this because she believed that she understood Kayden better than her mother.
Although her brother is gentle with everyone, he can't be forced to marry someone he does not like.
He won't simply obey just like when he went abroad and did not return.
Anika listened quietly and did not say anything.
After the two of them finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Kayleigh, "Kayleigh, help me keep an eye out.If Lucy wants to sell her grandfather's apartments and paintings-"
"Then I'll ask someone to buy it for you!" Anika looked at her and said, "You read my mind, okay."
Just as she finished speaking, the phone on the table rang.
Anika looked at it.It was Zac. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"I'm going to answer the phone.You guys talk first."
After all, it was in a bar, and the side of the card was a little noisy.
She got up and walked out of the bar before answering.
"Where are you?"
The man's deep voice wrapped around her ears.
Anika said, "I'm outside with Alena and the others.She subconsciously felt that she should not admit that she had come to a bar the night he had just gone on a business trip.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zac's deep and muffled laughter came from the other side, followed by his unclear tone, "Nika, are you in a bar?"
"How do you know-"
Anika opened her mouth and instantly reacted, "Tony told you?"
Zac did not deny it and said indifferently, "Don't stay up too late.If you drink, ask the driver to pick you up."
Anika heaved a sigh of relief and replied softly, "Yes, I understand."
"Be good."
His voice was idle, and then he asked unhurriedly, "Do you miss me?"
Anika did not say anything.
She turned around and saw the corner of her mouth curled up from the hazy glass reflection in front of her.
Just like that, she held her phone and laughed foolishly, just like a little girl in love.
She remained silent, and he waited.
Shortly after, Anika heard Frederick's voice, "Boss--"
Looks like he was interrupted.
"Yes."
Anika's voice was very low, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Her eyes were filled with seriousness, "I want to hug you every moment when you come back.”
Although Alena had stayed with her in the villa, she was still not used to being the only person in the master's bedroom when she wakes up every morning.
‘lL really want to hug him: "But I want more."
Zac laughed softly and said leisurely, "Nika, I don't just want to hug you and kiss you, I also want to-"
"Ehem, stop talking.’
"What? Are you shy now?"
"Nika, we are husband and wife --" he dragged on, "there's no need to be embarrassed."
Anika was speechless.
Even though he couldn't see it, she still covered her face helplessly.
‘‘How could Zac be so calm? Wasn't Frederick still beside him?’’ He hang up.
Zac stood on the bright and glorious corridor of the hotel.
He raised his head and looked at the dazzling crystal chandelier on the top of the corridor.
The smile on his lips hadn't dissipated yet.
Suddenly, he remembered that every time her bright phoenix eyes were stained with lust, she would still order him to turn off the lights with a shy look.
