Chapter 40

After returning to the Meyers Clan, Anika's connection with Harry gradually diminished, but Harry
always had the affection with them.

It was urgent.

Nataly felt that if she asked Harry to put on a show, he would most likely not refuse.

It's just that it could bring trouble to the other party.

That was why Nataly said that Zac was the best candidate.

Thinking of this, Anika shook her head, "It was originally a shadowless matter.Even if she called Harry
at that time, she might not agree."

"Yes, too.’’ Nataly's voice was faint.

After pausing for a moment, she whispered, "Brandon is back.I'll hang up now."

The call was immediately cut off.

Anika lowered her eyes and laughed.

However, she was really tired.

She blew her hair dry with the hairdryer that Zac had given her before.

Soon, she lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.

A good night's dream.

The next day.



Because it was Saturday and she had been spinning around for a few days, Anika slept until almost ten
o'clock before she woke up.

She opened her eyes in confusion.

The sun shone through the thin clouds floating in the sky and sprinkled into the bedroom.

It was warm and warm, and it even brought her a bright mood.

After washing up, Anika put on a casual sportswear and went to the gym on the balcony of the villa.

When she was abroad, her studies were busy and her surroundings were filled with excellent students.

Anika occasionally felt stressed and tired.

Later, her roommates couldn't bear to see her studying hard with the lights on.

They began to pull her to keep fit, saying that the dopamine secreted by exercise could improve
people's mood and get twice the result with half the effort.

Anika adapted to the situation for a period of time and began to exercise regularly.

After jogging for three kilometers, she switched off the treadmill, picked up a towel hanging on the side,
wiped the sweat off her forehead, and took the mineral water from the cabinet next to her.

However, she discovered that there was a bottle of mineral water missing from the cabinet, which had
always been arranged neatly by the hour laborers.

Anika was stunned.

A minute later, she walked downstairs doubtfully and saw the man in loose sportswear, leaning on the
sofa and focusing on knocking on his laptop.



Anika's eyes were slightly wide as a wisp of surprise flashed through her eyes, "Why did you come
back so early?"

Before going abroad on a business trip, Zac clearly told her that he would not be able to return until
Sunday night.

Zac glanced at her indifferently.

His thin lips moved as he spoke in a loose tone, "I came back last night and knocked on your door.I
didn't answer.”

Actually, he still had some work to finish, but he left Frederick there and flew back first.

Originally, he had hoped that she would somehow be unaccustomed to it because of his departure, but
now, it seemed that she was living a comfortable life with such high spirits.

Zac's mood was complicated, as if he was the only one who couldn't suppress his thoughts during this
period of time.

Hearing that he had already returned last night, Anika’s expression froze as she frowned slightly.

Thinking back, he should have been lying in the bathtub and listening to the news on the tablet when
he knocked on the door, so he didn't hear it.

However, for some reason, a strange feeling flashed through her heart and was quickly forgotten by
her.

"Have you eaten breakfast? There's still a sandwich in the fridge.Shall I heat it up for you?"

Zac's favorite breakfast seemed to be sandwiches.



He didn't know if it was because they were delicious or because he felt it was more convenient to take
them away.

The sandwich in the fridge was made by Anika yesterday.

It was only after he finished that he remembered that Zac was not at home.

Hearing this, Zac shook his head, "No need, I won't work today.I'll eat with you."

There was also the porridge that Anika had cooked last night in the kitchen.

Zac stood up and filled two bowls.

He returned to the dining room and handed it to Anika.

It was almost noon now, so they didn't have to eat too much.

Both of them only wanted to cushion their stomachs.

The dining room quieted down and no one spoke.

However, Anika was already used to eating with him, and the atmosphere was not awkward.

Zac finished his porridge and put down the spoon.

After a long pause, he raised his eyes and glanced at her.

Finally, he could not help but say, "Anika, you have been quite at ease during this period of time when I
am not at home”

Anika inexplicably heard something awkward from his tone and looked at the man.After thinking about
it for a while, she shook her head and raised the corner of her lips.



"No, actually, I'm not used to your sudden business trip."

It was said that a person could form a habit in 21 days, but she had already lived with Zac for two
months.

It was probably because the two of them had lived for a long time.

In the past few days, she could always sense Zac’s departure from some trivial matters.

"Really?"

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't believe it.

Anika said softly, "Really."

"Looks like ...these bowls weren't wasted."

Zac smiled and reached out to pick up the bowl in front of Anika, stacking it with his.

However, he seemed to have thought of something.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he leaned back leisurely and his slender jade-like knuckles slowly tapped on the table.

After pondering for a while, the man casually said, "Anika, how do you feel about my husband's duties
during this period of time?"

Anika did not expect that he would suddenly seek her evaluation of him.

After pondering for a while, she nodded and said, "Well, you have performed your duty very well"



In front of outsiders, Zac was enough to protect her.

As for the family, although he was a little hairy on some trivial matters, it wouldn't be unbearable for her.

Compared to what she had expected, Zac's performance during this period of time was indeed due to
his due diligence.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zac's pitch-black eyes staring at her.

His gaze was unpredictable, but something was obviously wrong.

Immediately after, she received the other party's persuasion ...

"So Anika, even if it's just a fake marriage, I've done my husband's job well.Since you've taken
advantage of me, I hope you can also play a good wife and not give me any worries.

"I won't argue with you about Kayden, but what about Harry and Harrington? You'd better-"

"Restrain yourself, understand?"

The gentle voice of the man carried a hint of warning.

After he finished speaking, he smiled and brushed the hem of his clothes.

He stood up slowly and picked up the two bowls in front of him.

Anika suddenly raised her head and when she met Zac's smiling eyes, she finally realized why she felt
that something was wrong when she heard him say that he had already returned last night.

She tried her best to breathe a sigh of relief, but she suddenly felt a headache.

She had to put up the soundproof in the secondary bedroom, quickly.
