After seeing the Rolls Royce in front of the villa, Flora was cent percent sure she was going to meet Alvin. She was excited thinking she got to meet him for the second time in half a month.
Her happiness dropped when the agent kept asking them to wait outside. Incensed, "How dare you stop us?" Flora pushed the property agent aside to enter the villa.
President Dalton pinched between his brows. All his efforts to coax Flora to behave went in vain. His daughter doesn't wait or accept refusal.
The agent stumbled on his steps, yet he tried to stop her, "Miss… Wait…" Hard luck, he failed and saw Flora storming inside the villa.
…..
In the kitchen, the couple's kiss abruptly broke. Before Alvin could let go of Anya, he felt her quiver too strong to go unnoticed in his arms before she pushed him away. Alvin could bet he saw fear in her eyes before she came out of her haze.
Anya felt her heart leap to her throat. She leaped off the counter and patted her chest. She was calming down when she felt Alvin go close to her and wrap her in his arms, ignoring the lady who just entered the villa.
"What's wrong?" Anya asked without understanding his reaction.
Alvin accurately deduced her reaction which she didn't even realize. She was subconsciously scared that somebody would hurt or kill him if she was close to him. "Nobody will do anything to me." His hand gently caressed her head, trying his best to calm her down.
Anya stiffened in his arms. She was confident to face the problem and threats, wasn't she? Then why was she scared? It wasn't like she was doing something wrong.
She wanted to hug him back but hearing the heels pause and sensing the presence of people behind her, she obediently nodded to Alvin. She wouldn't let her fear make her weak or run from Alvin.
Alvin's cold eyes brushed over the three at his sight. The agent looked apologetic, the middle-aged man was in shock and the lady's shock was replaced with anger. She strutted towards them, stomping her heels to the floor.
Alvin let go of Anya and asked, brushing his hand over her fluttering hair. "Are you alright?"
Anya again nodded and tried to turn around to check the lady who was either arrogant to make so much noise on her heels or else, didn't know to walk on the heels.

"Huh?" Showing her off? She was no special.
Anya turned around and saw Flora freeze and widen her eyes. Whereas Anya snickered, feeling her palm itch. After Alvin came back into her life, Anya was itching to beat this woman whenever she saw her.
"Dad, she is the one who slapped me in front of the restaurant." Flora complained to her father and turned back to Anya, "You b*…." Flora swallowed the rest of her words.
She looked at Alvin and behaved, "Alvin, what is she doing with you? She slapped me and embarrassed me in front of everyone."
Anya: "…"
'Then why are you embarrassing yourself in front of Alvin now?' Anya thought to herself, pitying the woman in front of her.
Alvin didn't even spare an eye at Flora. He wrapped his hand around Anya and led her out of the kitchen, "Security Issues." He rejected the villa.
President Dalton didn't need any words to say about the relationship between Alvin and the lady with him. So he decided to leave.
"Alv…" He was addressing Alvin by name, thinking he was going to be his son-in-law. So he quickly corrected himself, "Mr. Matthews, sorry for disrupting your time. We will get going."
Alvin didn't bother to acknowledge it or bothered to know their reason. They were passing by Flora who was infuriated hearing her father. She stood in front of the couple and fiercely glared at Anya.
Her words were directed to Alvin but her loathsome gaze was fixed on Anya, "Alvin, did you break the engagement because of a gold digger?" She assumed he was buying a villa for Anya.
Anya innocently looked at Flora whose words earned no reaction from her.
Whereas Alvin was irritated how the woman in high heels kept blocking him. He coldly threatened her father, "President Dalton, would you like to regret having your daughter?" He could slowly but surely destroy their company.
President Dalton hated Alvin's guts but what could he do? He held Flora's arms and tried to take her away, "Flora, didn't you hear him say, wife? Let's leave." He hoped Flora would understand it.
Flora shrugged off his father and pointed her finger at Anya's face, "You f**king homewrecker, didn't you know… Ahhhhh….." She shrieked in pain.
Alvin shook his head in resignation witnessing Anya hold the same finger that pointed at her and twist Flora's hand.
President Dalton rushed up to help his daughter but Alvin's gaze kept him in place, "Err… Mrs. Matthews, let go of my daughter. Mrs. Matthews…"
Zane was upstairs, Anya didn't want him to hear Flora's foul language.
Homewrecker? Flora was delusional. Flora wailed when Anya looked at President Dalton. She could understand Alvin's relationship with Casper but President Dalton and Flora.
President Dalton looked after and pampered Flora with everything. Yet how could Flora treat her father like that? Flora was spoiled behind redemption.
"President Dalton, if you can't teach your daughter, as a mother of a child, I don't mind teaching your daughter."
'Mother!?' President Dalton's eyes widened. He looked at Alvin in utter shock.
Anya pushed Fiona to the floor and warned her. "Flora Dalton, take this as advice. Never dare to appear in front of me. If you did, you better behave. I won't be merciful next time." Her voice was dark and menacing while her steely gray eyes glimmered coldly.
At the same time, Zane came downstairs as he called out in panic, "Mommy… …. Mommy… Mommy…" He heard the woman cry so he was afraid something happened to Anya
Anya's expression relaxed hearing her son. Flora doesn't care about children or elders. She could only hope Flora's twisted mind doesn't try to scheme against her son.
She went towards the stairs, "Baby, slow down. I am fine. A lady didn't know to walk on her heels and fell." She lied as Flora was still on the ground.
Zain breathed in relief after hearing Anya and leisurely alighted the stairs. Since his mother is fine, his worry faded into the air.
Alvin sensed Anya dislikes Flora Dalton way too much. He started to wonder if Flora did something to her. In that case, letting off the Dalton family felt too easy on them.
Flora and President Dalton's eyes widened looking at the little boy wearing stylish clothes, alighting the stairs in his comfort. Zane was wearing a black hat over his head and donning sunglasses looking cool and eye-catching. He was chic in a black t-shirt layered with a trendy black jacket and blue jeans. His look was completed with velcro sneakers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFather and daughter didn't dare to accept their thoughts. If the lady is Alvin's wife, then such a big boy is Alvin's son?
Looking at the 4-5-year-old boy, President Dalton felt wronged for his daughter who waited for Alvin. But he didn't even have the right to question Alvin as his engagement aka business deal was with Casper Matthews.
Zane slowed down to see the two strangers. The excited little boy became reserved and looked at Anya.
'Homewrecker?' If anyone suited that word, then it was Flora who wanted to come between them. Anya muttered in a low voice, "Looks like Momma has a love rival." Then she looked at Zane and winked.
Zane grinned. He suddenly ran towards Alvin stretching his arms, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy…"
Alvin wanted to spit a mouthful of blood. 'Daddy' It was his hair-raising moment. He knew he would become Zane's father when he marries Anya but it was too much. He felt his heart race looking at the little meatball running towards him.
Anya didn't expect Zane to call Alvin as Daddy. She thought he would be a bit mischievous but her son directly shot Flora off her feet.
Looking at the little brat spreading his arms, Alvin obliged and carried him to his arms.
Zane put his arm on Alvin's shoulder and reported whatever he would have told to Anya, "Daddy, rooms are spacious with an ensuite and balcony. There is one attic room for storage. The second living hall is big too, we can add bookshelves for Mommy's books."
Anya controlled herself from grinning like a maniac. The sight of her was truly heartwarming. She hopes one day, Zane will accept Alvin and calls him Daddy of his own accord.
Alvin tried his best to behave like a father who dotes on his son. However the smile didn't appear, yet his voice turned a bit softer, "This place isn't safe. There are too many dogs here."
Father and daughter Dogs: "…"
Zane understood they wouldn't choose that villa, anyway, he cheered them on, "Okay, we will check the next one."
Alvin looked at his Little Donut whose dimples were too obvious on her face while she tried to press her lips to a thin line. She was angry a few seconds back and was now mischievous with her son. She was becoming more fascinating.
Anya signaled him to leave, so he went towards the door with Zane in his arms. Anya went to the lady who was on the floor. "Flora Dalton, I guess you didn't recognize me. Did you?"
Anya won't be surprised because Flora was obsessed with herself, she cared nothing but herself. Even if Flora tries hard she won't be able to identify her.
