Meanwhile, Anna was in total shock and stunned when she heard Alex's words. Not like they were too new to her but hearing them after so many Years also sent shivers to her.

The sunlight falling on her face made her face glow but on the second note, Anna didn't even look at Alex even for once. She knew he must be looking hot as ever, especially on the beach sunset light.

"Alex...you know that..'' Anna wasn't even able to complete her words when Kiara's voice came from the other side.

"Muma!!" Kiara came running to Anna and hugged her stomach tightly. Seeing Kiara coming in their way, even Alex loses his grip on her hand but didn't leave her hand for all.

"Y..yes Kiara? what happened? Weren't you with Scott's uncle?" Anna asked while rubbing her hair slowly, and Kiara lifted her face to see her mother's face and nodded her head.

"I was with him only. Mother, can we stay here for one night? I want to enjoy more.. and today is the weekend also." Suddenly, the walls that Anna was built around her collapsed the moment Kiara requested for the stay here, at Alex's place.

Her face turned grim with no words coming out of her mouth at that moment.

There was a playful smile on Alex's face which he hid very well before Anna or anyone else could have noticed. 'That's like my daughter! How do you understand what I want before I say it?' 

"Kia, you have school tomorrow." Anna once again reminded her. Her tone was very much the same, strict and normal but it doesn't affect Kiara anyway. She just passed her beautiful smile.

"Please mommy…" 

"If Kiara wants to stay, why don't you stay Anna? I have a spare guest room for you guys and even mom and Scott would be happy to have you guys here for the night." Alex just pushed Kiara's words to his advantage.

But in return he received a deadly glare from none other than the Anna Walker who was eying him from head to toe, to make him remember that he should stop using Kiara as his shield.

Alex shrugged his shoulders and left the decision totally on her. He has no say in it and at last, Anna just looked down in her embrace, the eager Kiara.

Sighing, she replied, "Alright. We will be staying here for one night. Alex.. can you please arrange a spare room?" Her decision not only made Kiara happy but from inside, Alex felt on top of the world.

"I shall prepare a room for you and Kiara. let us go inside now." Alex said, gaining Anna's and Kiara's attention towards him who also nodded their head and the family of the three made their way inside the house where Klara was surprised to see that Anna came back again. 

But her query was eased out when Alex answered first, "Mom, Anna, and Kiara would be staying here for the night. Please ask the butler to prepare the bedroom.." 

"Son, I will ask the butler but the rooms on our floor are already used. I guess, I will ask the butler to prepare the ape room on your foot so that if they need your help at midnight, you can help them as well..." Anna wanted to rebel but somewhere she knew what Klara was trying to do for them. 

She doesn't wish to harm her feelings in any way and if only she can tell them that, saying here is only for Kiara's happiness. 

At the end of the day, the family had dinner at the dining table. It was a fun moment for everyone, the light environments, everyone's smile never vanished due to the constant babbling of Kiara on the table. 

When it was time to go back, Kiara first went to Alex and asked him to bend down. Alex looked at Anna first and bent down, to receive a kiss on his cheeks from the little girl, "Good night! Mom says that before going to sleep, we should always wish goodnight to each other so that we can always have good dreams!" 

Alex was speechless. He lifted his eyes to see Anna, and rapid Kiara back, "Your mom taught you some good teachings, Kiara." Kissing her back on their forehead, he wished, "Good night to you too. Go, sleep now. I have something to talk to your mommy first." 

"Okay! Mommy, I will be waiting for you in bed!!" 

Anna smiled and waited for Alex to say something first 'What does he have to say to me now? Didn't we all already?' She wished to roll her eyes but controlled her sudden urge for now. 

He came closer to her and spoke, "You taught Kiara that I should wish each other goodnight before bed.." 

"Yeah? So what?" Anna Was confused but he wasn't. His deep gaze was fixed her face, where he left no stone to look deep into her eyes, "So...shouldn't you wish goodnight to me as well just like Kaira wished?" 

Anna- "..." Heights of shamelessness! 

Without even sparing him any glace, Anna just turned around and slammed the door on his face. A chuckle passed through his lips when he saw her reaction. 'Still shy as ever!'

Going back to his room, he was ready to go back to sleep but his phone rang before that. Looking at the dialer, he sighed. "Yes, Scott?"

"Brother... I guess I have some clue over who killed Anna's sister-in-law's brother... and also, who is behind her life even now!"

Update

4/26/2021

The updates were slower because I'm tested positive for COVID-19. It is deadly, I swear, and quarantined in my room. The weakness is taking another roll over me, so I wasn't in any condition to write from the last few days. 

Really sorry, for the trouble but will try to update as soon as possible, at least with one chapter every day. Thank you!
