Chapter 433 - Revenge 434: Dream On! (1/2)
”What if our grandfather told her to stay away from you and she does backs away from you because she was threatened. What would you do, brother?” Lannie nervously asked her brother.
After hearing that, Kyle glared at his sister and said, ”Lannie, don't talk nonsense. Grandfather is not that type of man who would do such a thing.” Although he said that, Kyle still can't help but somehow believe that there is a possibility of that happening.
His grandfather is unpredictable. He didn't expect this to happen, and he is very thankful for his sister that she informed him about this 'unexpected' meeting between Anna and his grandfather.
At first, he didn't believe it, but after receiving several messages and missed calls from his sister, he got convinced and went directly to where Anna currently is.
”Seriously. My cafe is not a place for anyone to spy on my customers.” A voice from behind startled Kyle and Lannie. They both turned around and saw the owner of that voice is Claire. ”You two just can't help yourself, huh?”
Without asking who they are spying on, Claire already has a definite guess who it is. And she can't blame them for it because she is also curious about things that will go between Elijah and Anna. However, unlike them, she is only curious and not trying to eavesdrop.
”Aunt Claire, what are you talking about? We are customers. Is it not obvious that I'm having a date with my dear sister over here?” Since Kyle has no other excuse to say to Claire, Kyle started to act like an adoring big brother to Lannie. And without a doubt, Lannie crept out by it, but she still manages to keep her happy face on.
”You can make many excuses as you want, young Robertson, but you can't fool me.” Claire has been living on earth for so many years. She already experienced a lot of things and met a lot of people. This excuse that Kyle spouting right now is not gonna fool her.
With that, Lannie moved a bit farther away from her brother, then she gave him a glare. ”Brother, you're smart, but you can't even fool Aunt Claire.”
”You are in no position to tell me that. You don't even have an excuse yourself.” Kyle also glared back at his sister. Lannie is not the only one who knows how to glare around here.
”Alright, alright, back it off, you two.” This kind of sibling quarrel can sure make Claire reminisce back when Mary and Johan are still so close. Those two were like siblings to each other, they quarrel like siblings, and they have fun like siblings, but all those things didn't last long.
It is a sad story, but there is nothing Claire can do about it. All she can do now is continue living for the future ahead, and hope for the best.
”If you guys are 'customers' here, then order something. This place is not where you two can freely sit around and spy on other people.” Claire added as she handover the menu to both Lannie and Kyle.

Back on Anna and Elijah's side, the awkwardness between them is now slowly fading away. They both are starting to get to know each other, and who would have thought that there are a few things that they both have in common. Just like Anna, Elijah also a big fan of motorbikes and exquisite paintings.
”I would have never thought that I will be talking to you like this, Anna.” Unlike his business-like talk with his grandson and cheerful-like talk with his granddaughter, his conversation with Anna is quite relaxing and new.
He noticed a few things about Anna. She is the type to be careful of every word that she's going to say, and if she doesn't know what else to say, she smoothly changes the topic and that really impressed Elijah.
”I think so too Granda Elijah. At first, I thought that you called me here to tell me that I should stay away from Kyle.” Even up until now, Anna is still expecting that possibility.
”Now, now. You're making me look like a bad person over here.” Elijah chuckled at the comment Anna just made. ”As a matter of fact, I think I would like you to be with my grandson rather than that other girl.”
By 'other girl' Elijah means is Kyle childhood friend, and Anna is quick to catch up on that. She has little bits of information about her, and yet all the people that know her don't seem to like her. 'Is she really that bad?' Anna inwardly asked.
