Chapter 52 - His Little Donut’s Admirer (1/2)

While worrying about the grown-up man, Anya suddenly recalled her own situation and her little son in trouble due to the same grown-up man and his family. She shook her head vigorously in her mind to get rid of her thoughts about him. She can't be soft-hearted with that man.

She turned to her friend, ”Are you admiring him now?” She wasn't used to hearing Krystle speaking highly of Alvin. If given a chance, Krystle could curse Alvin day and night.

Krystle had cursed Alvin day and night when she was seeing Anya struggling alone with pregnancy effects. But after seeing the little one, Alvin disappeared from their dictionary and focused their attention on Zane - a gift of god.

Krystle instantly got a frown that loudly screamed of her disgruntlement, ”Eww… He isn't my type. I want somebody who I can talk to, have fun and enjoy life. Alvin Matthews is a BIG NO.” She honestly responded, lifting her two hands and crossing her forearms in X. She didn't say that because Anya had a crush on Alvin or Zane's father was Alvin, she truly felt Alvin was too much for her to handle.

Anya sighed, it was better than way. If Krystle kept cursing the man, she was sure she wouldn't be soft-hearted. She tugged Krystle inside her room. Both sat down and Anya briefed everything to Krystle so that she doesn't worry much and let Anya complete this assignment. Krystle knew about Anya's real job.

Krystle became thoughtful. She wanted to convince Anya to drop her plan of saving the hostages but Anya wouldn't leave her work unfinished. ”I am worried about you girl.” She shifted close and hugged her friend.

Anya was worried too, ”I am afraid of Harper Johnson reaching Dad, Mom, and Baby. Jason said an officer is protecting them but I can't…” She sighed. How can she be assured until Harper ends up powerless?

Krystle rubbed her back. Her friend had stopped living for her the moment she got to know she was pregnant. If she dares to take any risk, it would only be because she wanted to keep her son safe and give him a comfortable life without making him feel the absence of a father.

Krystle sat back as she asked her doubt hesitantly, ”Annie… Why is Alvin Matthews trying to save the hostages?” Alvin never was, never will be so generous and kind.

Anya half shrugged her shoulders, ”Must be helping President Collins.”

Krystle didn't feel like that. Alvin might help his uncle but he wasn't the type to make efforts to keep someone safe and worry about the lives of strangers who won't appreciate his efforts. Alvin could never be good for no reason. She strongly felt his actions were purely because of Anya.

”Annie, I think…”

'Knock… Knock…' Krystle tried to give heads up to Anya but the knocks on the door interrupted them

The duo turned to the door. Anya was getting up to check, Krystle tugged her back, ”Yes!? The door is open.” She said loud enough to reach the person on the other side of the door.

Anya: ”...”

She couldn't be like her or Alvin and make the people serve her.

The door opened, the butler, Oliver stood by the door, ”Miss…” He looked at Anya and continued, ”Mr. Matthews asked me to bring you IMMEDIATELY.” He stressed the last word.

Krystle almost thought Alvin cared about Anya. Now, she brushed off the idea, ”I need to teach this man a lesson. How dare he treat you like this?”

Anya: ”...”

Though Krystle could hurt anybody for her and Zane, Alvin does scare them. Probably because of the secret they were hiding.

The duo went behind Oliver who was dabbing his napkin on his forehead hearing Krystle curse and badmouth Alvin, all the way, to the dining hall.

Linus who got fresh went behind them at a distance hearing the hotheaded. He dropped a message to Alvin as he followed them, [Bro, why does this hothead curse you so much? When did you offend her?]

However, he and Linus could guess it wasn't because Alvin did something to Krystle, it was all linked to Anya. He couldn't believe that while solving one problem, the old complications were opening up.

Krystle whispered to Anya, ”Don't speak. I will control him.”

Anya: ”...”

Krystle went ahead and stood a few steps away from Alvin who had just started his breakfast, ”Alvin Matthews!!” She yelled at him.
