Chapter 466 - Revenge 467: All I Care About (1/2)
On their way to where Mike is currently at, Alfonso noticed that earings that Anna is wearing, then he suddenly thought that he wants to tease her for a little bit.
”Hmm? What's this? Did you buy yourself new earings, Anna? I haven't seen you wearing this when we got here.” Alfonso asked, but he knew exactly where these earings came from. And he is impressed that his nephew can pick such earings that are well suited for Anna.
Anna blushed hearing that question from Alfonso. She remembered how she got these earrings. She subconsciously reached out to her ear to touch the earings. She never thought that these types of things can make her happy.
Apart from the necklace that Kyle gave her a long time ago, these earings are now one of her important treasure, and she will take care of it.
”Kyle gave it to me,” Anna replied.
”Oh, really? For what occasion? As far as I know, it's not your birthday today or anything special related to you.” Teasing Anna and Kyle is one of the things that Alfonso enjoys the most. It would be such a shame if he doesn't tease them from time to time.
”Is it wrong for me to buy her jewelry, Uncle?” Kyle asked. He wanted to say that the earings are the indication of the fact that Anna is his girlfriend, but he should wait for the right to say to all the people that he knows.
The reason for this decision is because of Anna's father. He wants to let Arion knows about this first and do anything that is necessary for Anna's father to accept their relationship. And thankfully, Anna agreed to this kind of set-up.
Kyle initially thought that Anna will get angry if he decided to keep their relationship a secret first, he thought of that because from what he heard some girls don't like to hide their relationship from others. He is so thankful that Anna is very understanding.
Where can he even find any other girl like her anywhere in the world? The answer to that is simple, there is no one like her. To him, Anna is the only understanding that he has ever met.
Alfonso replied with a question, ”Is it wrong of me to ask? There is no harm in asking, am I right?”
Not too long after that, Anna and the rest finally arrived at their destination. ”Uncle Mike, it's been too long since I last saw you. How are you?” Anna spoke to him with a smile on her face. She and Mike are not that close to each other, but their closeness is enough to say that they are comfortable with each other's presence.
”I'm quite alright. Thank you for asking that, Anna. Unlike your uncle Alfonso over here, he didn't even ask me that.” Mike is quite pleased that Anna is well mannered unlike that people that he knows. Even his own son doesn't even ask him that question whenever he comes back home after not being at home for a couple of days.
”Mike, as long as you are not bleeding, there is no need for me to ask you that,” Alfonso said straightforwardly. If Mike has gone missing for a couple of days, there is no need for Alfonso to worry about him because he knows that Mike is capable of taking care of himself.
The only time that he would worry about Mike is when Mike has gone missing for more than a month. That is the rule that Mary, him, and the others have set for themselves.
Mike felt that it was such a stupid statement from Alfonso. If he was actually bleeding, is there even a need to ask if he is okay? ”Obviously, I am not okay if I'm bleeding.”

”Anyways, are you gonna stay here much longer?” Alfonso asked. Knowing what kind of trouble Johan is brewing, it's possible that Mike is going to stay and investigate more on what Johan is doing in this country.
”No. I'm going home with you guys tomorrow,” Mike replied. Investigating on Johan's movements is the most obvious thing to do, however, that is not what Mike is planning to do. Since there is a possibility that Johan already has acquired 'that' weapon, Mike needs to build another that can help defend themselves.
It's his responsibility and he will continue to do so until the problem with Johan and the Ricci family are done.
