Chapter 123: Quit The Job(1)

In the Oasis Mansion,

Alvin couldn't believe Anya's son was following him around like his tail. Zane refused to leave his side even after lunch with his grandparents who were very embarrassed.

Seeing Zane running behind him, Alvin had to walk at Zane's speed. Alvin wanted to ask why he was following him but didn't ask. Zane was like Anya, he would ask many questions. 

For example, Alvin asked Zane when he was unmoving on the chair, 'Do you have anything else to speak with me?'

Zane responded with a question as, 'No, Mr. Matthews, did I disturb you?'

Alvin: 'Why don't you go and take a rest?'

'Mr. Matthews, will it be a problem if I sit with you?'

Hence Alvin couldn't use his phone to instruct work to anybody in front of Zane. Hence he had tried to go out to make a call, and Zane followed him without a word. Alvin would have gotten annoyed if he was somebody else, but how he wished Little Donut could have been like her son and followed him.

Before lunch, Catalina had woken up abruptly, she panicked and ran out of the room with Dennis in search of Zane. Since it was lunchtime, Zane was following Alvin and they found him in the passage.

Catalina and Dennis were helpless looking at Zane again following Alvin. It was the first time Zane was behaving this way. They failed to stop him by words so they tried to take him away forcefully, "Zane, come here. Don't trouble Mr. Matthews." Dennis reached to carry Zane.

Zane dashed to Alvin and hugged his long leg with all his might. He was waiting for Anya's call, he didn't want to miss her call. "Grandpa, please…" He cried out and looked at them with teary eyes. He appeared as if he was going to burst into tears any moment.

Alvin stood frozen looking at Little Meatball clinging on his leg. He was truly clueless on how to react or what to do. Dealing with elders or cunning businessmen is easier than handling a child.

Linus was speechless the whole time. Firstly, because of Alvin's patience and consideration for Zane. Even Linus never got a chance to be spoiled around Alvin. Secondly, as far as Linus knew Zane never gets close to anybody, not so soon. He was a very reserved boy.

Dennis and Catalina looked at each other with troubled expressions. They turned to Alvin who was gazing at Zane without moving an inch. They were about to apologize, Alvin's mobile rang.

Zane left Alvin's leg and raised his hands, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy… Mommy…" He yammered in his bubbly voice, drowning the ringtone of Alvin's mobile.

Alvin thought Zane must have misunderstood Anya will call him. So he pulled his mobile out to tell Zane that it wasn't Anya, nevertheless, it was a call from an unsaved private number.

Alvin: "…"

Zane continued to yammer, tugging Alvin's pants. Alvin handed him the mobile in confusion and Zane's happy voice sounded as soon he answered the private number call, "Momma!!!"

[Baby!?] There was a surprise in the tone.

Zane beamed brightly and grinning ear to ear, "Momma, where are you? Are you coming? How long will it take?…" He questioned nonstop without letting the other side speak. He was just a five-year-old to his mother unlike how he behaves with others. 

All stood in shock.

Dennis and Catalina realized it was their mistake. They didn't let Zane reach Anya. But what else could they do? Zane was getting very upset whenever he heard Anya's number was not reachable.

Alvin recalled Zane using his mobile shortly and discerned that Little Brat didn't play on his mobile. Probably sent a message to his mother. Little Brat was following him for his mother's call, not because of him. 

Alvin almost thought the little guy liked him and he was thinking of using him to lure Anya. He couldn't quite explain how felt at the moment. Unsurprisingly, the little gentleman, Little Meatball became Little Brat.

Linus guessed this call was the reason Zane followed his brother like a little lost puppy. He silently laughed looking at Alvin who was annoyed.

After a series of questions, Zane giggled adorably while hearing his mother whine, [Baby, let me speak.] 

He apologized, "Sorry Momma, I was excited. Now tell me."

[I am sorry, Baby, I made you so worried. I promise, Momma won't repeat this.] The other end's voice was calm without letting Zane read into her situation or emotions.

"It's alright, Momma, I am not sad anymore." He wasn't sad, however, he desperately wanted to see her.

[Momma will make up for you. Now, tell me, how is my baby doing?] 

"I am good Momma, how are you?" He politely asked back, bringing a smile to the three elder's faces. Alvin had indecipherable expressions. 

[Momma is also fine. Are grandma and grandpa with you?]

Zane turned to his grandparents and responded, "Yes, Momma. They are here with me. We just had lunch with Little Collins and Mr. Matthews."

'Little Collins!?' Alvin looked at Linus to know how this womanizer is a little.

Linus shrugged, he was calling Zane as little so the mischievous guy started teasing him as Little.

[Good boy. I am on the way, it will probably take about three hours…]

Zane cut in and exclaimed, "Three hours!?" The three hours felt long for him to wait for his mother so he sounded a little sad. "Is Momma very busy?" 

'Three hours.' Alvin noted. He estimated the time and roughly guessed as Anya was still in the coastal city.

[Nothing is more important to Momma than her darling son.]

Zane forgot the three hours and smiled hearing his mother. Her sweet words never failed to do magic on her son.

The other end continued, [Baby, is Mr. Matthews around you?]

Alvin unawarely stiffened when Zane's eyes went on him. There was a hint of nervousness while thinking about what Anya might tell Zane about him.

'She won't bad mouth me, will she?' He wondered.

"Yes, Momma,"

[Baby, could you please give the mobile to Mr. Matthews? I have something to tell him… Don't be scared, Momma will be there soon.]

"Okay Momma, be careful." Zane lifted his hand to give the mobile to Alvin, "My Mommy wants to talk with you, Mr. Matthews." 

Alvin observed the little human's one-sided conversation with Anya. 'No doubt she is obsessed with her son.' He thought.

Catalina and Dennis looked at each other without understanding why Alvin wasn't speaking with Anya.
