Chapter 375 - Revenge 376: Youre Pathetic (1/2)

”Anna, look at that girl, she looks so pale.” Leon was just looking around when he saw a fellow participant looking so pale. His instincts tell him that she did something horrible and doesn't want to be found out. ”Could she be responsible for your missing gown?” He added.

”Maybe, maybe not. We can't just blame someone without any evidence, Leon. You, out of all the people in this room, should know that well.” Since her uncle Alfonso came to her rescue, Anna doesn't care about the one who hid her gown anymore.

As long as everything goes smoothly, Anna would not let anyone's glares or talks affect her. Seeing how excited her uncle Alfonso is, Anna has no choice but to do her best to win.

”Why didn't you tell me that you're a part of this event?” From the way Alfonso is talking, Anna can tell that her uncle is sulking.

Feeling awkward, Anna showed a smile to him and explained herself. ”You are pretty busy around these days, and I don't want to disturb you.” Knowing her uncle Alfonso, Anna knows that he will come to her right away and prepare her for this day. He always pushes his things aside and tends to put her first.

”Anna, you know very well that to me, you're like a daughter. Of course, no matter how busy I am, I will always put you, your brother, my sister's children, and Alexandre first. Always.” Before Alexandre came into his life, Alfonso always thought that there is no way for him to have a child of his own. That is why he chose to love his sister's children and the twins like his own.

The moment he Alexandre entered his life, he was surprised and didn't know what to do. He has experience take care of others' children, but when it comes to his, he is having second thought if what he is doing is the best thing for his son.

Despite his second thoughts, he is still trying his best to give his son the best thing he could offer.

”Speaking of Alexandre, uncle. Where is he now?” As far as Anna knows, her uncle Alfonso is not planning on hiring any nanny for Alexandre. Thinking about what happened not too long ago, Anna guesses that it's very understandable if his uncle doesn't want to hire a nanny for Alexandre.

”He's with my sister, I leave him there when I have to go to work.” Since he decided not to hire a nanny for his son, it has been quite a challenge for him. To him, not trusting any strangers to take care of his son is one of his reasons, but his reason is that he wants to take of his son by himself. He wants to experience the struggles of being a parent.

Apparently, with the new upcoming release of his new clothing line, he has been so busy that he has to leave his son to his sister. Of course, he still makes time for him.

”Is this your free time?” Anna asked.

”Yes. I only got two hours of free time.”

”Uncle! You should be spending your free to Alexandre, not to me.” Now, Anna feels guilty that she didn't think of things that might happen today, like what happened to her gown. If she had been cautious about anything that might happen, then her teacher wouldn't have to call her uncle, and her uncle would have been spending his time with Alexandre.

”No. It's alright. I mean, even if you are not participating in this event, I would have still come. After all, it's your teacher we're talking about. I owe her too much. You could say that I'm guilty and this is my way to pay back for everything that I've done to her.” Alfonso spoke in a sad tone. Whether Anna is participating in this event or not, Alfonso still comes here for Keila.

It has been a long time since he and Keila talked. And all this time, all he wants is to remove that guilt that he's been feeling.

”I've been wondering,” Leon who has been listening quietly suddenly spoke. ”What is the connection between you and my teacher.” While he was listening to their conversation, Leon noticed that change in Alfonso's tone of voice when he mentioned his teacher.

As soon as Alfonso is done adjusting Anna's gown, he patted Leon's head and said, ”That's a story for another time, kid.”

Leon wanted to convince Alfonso to tell him the story, but Keila suddenly appeared in front of them. ”All is done?” She asked and Alfonso nodded. ”Good. Two of you, get on to your position and win this for our class!”

”Well, since my job here is done, I have to go. I still have a little bit of time left, but that is enough for me to see my son.” Alfonso mumbled his last sentence, however, Keila was able to hear it.

With a shocked expression on her face, she asks him, ”You have a son?” From the way she asked it, it seems like she doesn't want to believe it. Deep inside, she is hoping that she only misheard him.
