Chapter 99

He felt anger, surprise, and helplessness.

He stood there numbly, completely forgetting his movements, his body trembling uncontrollably, as if he
had been slapped in the face.

But compared to the scene in front of him, he was more clear about what it meant for a man to walk out
of her room at this moment, unable to stop his annoyed thoughts.

Perhaps last night, they had kissed each other in the hotel room, and were extremely intimate, which
was something they had never done before when he and Anika was busy with other matters.

In the past, Kayden knew that she hadn't let go of the defensive line yet.

At that time, he wasn't confident to give a promise, so he felt that he had to wait.

Once the right time came, he could finally be serious with her.

However, at this moment, looking at the scene in front of him, Kayden felt extremely embarrassed.

In just a few short months, everything seemed to have changed.

When the elevator closed, Zac looked over from afar.

His indifferent eyes met his, and his fingers lightly wiped the corners of his mouth, carrying silent
ridicule.

Kayden instantly understood that the other party was doing it on purpose.

Perhaps it was because of the 'meal' he had.

He did not know how he had left.



He avoided meeting her and did not dare to see her again.

He was afraid that he would see their intimacy and lose all his sense of propriety.

Even though so many days had passed, whenever he thought of that scene, his heart would be filled
with dense pain to the point of suffocation.

Kayden opened a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, sat on the sofa and drank it, trying to numb
himself from the pain.

However, after drinking one bottle, he couldn't help but recall Anika's gentle and soft words over and
over again in his mind.

After a while, he staggered to even walk, took out a new phone card from the drawer at the bedside,
and dialed through the wine.

After a slow drip ...

The call was answered.

Kayden did not dare to speak, afraid that Anika would hang up the moment he spoke, but he still
wanted to hear her voice to comfort his longing.

However ...

"Hello.” The male voice in the microphone was leisurely and unhurried.Then, a familiar soft voice
sounded, "Who is it?"

"I don't know.Nothing.No one was speaking’

"Oh, maybe it's a wrong number “



"Yes."

The man answered calmly, as if he had put down her phone, but did not hang up.

He then said, "Come here and I'll help you blow-dry your hair"

Not long after, the sound of the hair dryer suddenly stopped, and a faint, ambiguous breath came from
the other end of the phone.

The veins on Kayden's hand that was holding the phone twisted and his jaw tightened.

He was so masochistic that he listened to everything in the call, but he was reluctant to hang up.

After a while, he heard her voice again, "Zac, what kind of hair are you blowing? It's still wet after
blowing!"

Her tender anger did not correspond to the gentleness in her impression.

At the X County Hotel room.

When Zac sat by the bed and blew her hair seriously, Anika laid on his lap and did not get up.

She picked up the phone beside her and found the call that had just been hung up.

Recently, she had always received this kind of silent phone call.

Each time, it was a different number, so she didn't really care.

She closed the call log and opened FaceGram.

At the top, there were photographs of the tomb visit during the day.

There were scattered loose tombs on Floating God's Acre.



Mr.Kes used to live in the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain.

Before he died, he told Harold that he hoped to be buried on the Floating God's Acre because there, he
could see the orphanage.

When they arrived, there were some thorny weeds growing beside Mr.Kes' mother's tomb.

Zac was afraid that she would cut her hand, so he bent down to pull the weeds by himself.

Of course, his movements weren't very skilled, but his expression was very eager.

Turning around, Zac saw Anika staring at him blankly with gentle eyes.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, am I too good-looking? Are you stunned again?"

Anika heaved a sigh of relief and helped him wipe away the thin sweat on his forehead.

She smiled and shook her head, "I just want to tell the dean's mother that I have someone by my side
now.”

Just now, as she stared at his back, the disappointment of being away from the orphanage seemed to
have been smoothed away at that moment.

He gave her a new sense of belonging.

She had no lack of a family, nor was there any lack of that preference.

Returning to her thoughts, Anika clicked on the comment and found a message ...

[Look at the private message, add my FaceGram.] The username was @HiltsMarge.Judging from the
username, this person should be Marge Kent.



Anika was not familiar with FaceGram.

The other party probably didn't know how to contact her, so she followed her on FaceGram.Anika
clicked on the message bar and did not pay attention to the private message.

Only then did she see a long string of messages inside.

Apart from the messages sent by Marge, more of them came from another person.

"What are you looking at?" Zac saw her knitting her brows and sitting up.

He approached her and asked questions.

Anika breathed a sigh of relief.

She handed him her phone and honestly told him, "These private messages seem to be sent by
Kayden."

Kayden was quite persistent.

He would send a few messages every day to greet her warmly, greet her during the holidays, and
apologize and miss her at the same time.

Fortunately, Anika didn't even see it that it all piled up in the unattended private messages.

Of course, seeing it wouldn't affect anything, but it would add in to her hatred.

Anika had never thought that she would be able to get involved with Kayden anymore.

His number had already been blocked, so this was probably the only way to contact her.



If it weren't for the special circumstances, Zac would have picked her up from work every day, and most
of the opportunities Kayden could find were avoided.

Thinking about it now, even though her car had already been repaired, Zac still insisted on picking her
up from work.

‘Could it be that he is on guard against Kayden looking for me?’ The more Anika thought about it, the
more likely it was.

"Keep it."

Zac glanced at the private message sent by Kayden.

His smooth chin raised slightly and his posture was idle.

"Wait for the baby to be born, ask for a gift from him."

"What baby to be born?"

Anika narrowed her eyebrows and looked at him, "Where will the child come from?"

He spoke as if the child could jump out in the next second.

"Isn't that still necessary--"

The man's gaze fluttered past her flat belly.

"But don’t you want to have one?"

Anika subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, then closed her eyes and remained silent for a
while.



"What, you don't want to give birth?"

Zac sized up her expression, pursed his lower lip, and casually said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you
want a child or not.Even if I sacrifice myself, I can accompany you for a longer time"

Everyone said that the world was unpredictable, but he was just afraid that if that day really came, he
would leave her alone with no one by her side.

Anika paused for a moment and raised her eyes to look at him.

"I never said that I don't want one, but do you think that I can be a good mother?"

She didn't even know what her mother looked like.

"It's fine even if you aren't the best.Isn't there still me with you?"

He smiled, his eyelids slightly drooping, his expression arrogant and leisurely, "Then I will be a father
and a mother’’

Seeing this, Anika secretly sighed.

Thinking back to the days when Callum lived at home, she felt that it was even more unreliable for him
to be a father.

But it's always good that he has a kind heart.

She could not show any disdain for his confidence and changed the subject by talking about his father.

"Do you still miss your father?"

"Occasionally.Zac did not deny it.It was as if he remembered something.” He patted her head and
smiled.



"Speaking of which, he likes you.’ Anika looked at him puzzled, "Me? Why?"

He laid down with her in his arms and whispered, "Probably because you let his son have a breath of
fresh air in this world"

After he was admitted to A University, Grayson brought it up when he met with the people there and
was familiar of Anika who had a good reputation at the university.

"At that time, he saw that I liked you, he said he wanted you to be his daughter-in-law.

He said that the betrothal gift was ready and hinted at me to work harder every day. Zac thought that if
nothing bad happened, if his dad knew that he had succeeded, he would probably continue to show off
that he had good a daughter-in-law now.

Thinking of Grayson's slightly plump and kind appearance, Anika smiled, "No wonder your friend said
that you have a girl you like.At first, I thought ..”

"What?" The man's deep eyes stared at her.

Anika flattened her mouth and sighed in her heart.

Why she could not mention it was because she did not want to be personally cracked down by men.

So she shook her head and turned to hug him, "Nothing.It's all a misunderstanding.It's not important’’
