Chapter 236: 236 A Disguise

Janet was reflecting on her actions, all the way to the Collins villa from the Oasis mansion. She was affected by Anya's words about Alvin.

'Did I make a mistake by sending Alvin to Matthews?'

Given another chance, Janet knew she would repeat the same thing. The only thing she could have done for Alvin was to keep him without aborting.

She was in a field where her every action was judged. Paparazzi follow her to every corner. She wouldn't have achieved anything if she had kept Alvin with her.

However, what bugged her was she could have requested her brother to take care of Alvin without notifying Casper, rather than sending Alvin to the Mathews mansion.

She sighed at her complex thoughts. She was also envious of Anya who was determined to take care of a baby so well, without thinking about her life.

"Jane, is everything alright?"

Janet snapped out of her thoughts and nodded at Bernard's wife. She sat down as she spoke, "Alvin wasn't at home. I saw mother and son."

Their conversation was interrupted. "Ugh, Brother Linus, why did you give her the mobile? We lost the battle." A teenage boy complained in annoyance, slapping his mobile on the couch.

The teenage girl rolled her eyes, "Who plays this sh*tty game?" She tossed Linus's mobile away.

Linus took his mobile and went to Janet, "Aunt Janet, did you like Little Champ or Sister-in-law?"

The teenagers knew they were talking about their half-brother. Their half-brother had ignored them when they were kids so they disliked Alvin.

Elder Collins became all ears to listen to Janet. He wanted to visit Anya Owen, but he dropped his plan to avoid scaring Anya.

Janet wasn't really fond of kids so she chose to speak about Anya, "Anya Owen is a strong-minded lady."

Bernard nodded while Linus sat down to hear more. Elder Collins pretended to be uninterested whereas he was the more curious one.

Janet chuckled looking at Linus and Linus's mother. "I guess I like her. She respected me but when I looked down on her, she stood for herself without fear. A confident and sharp woman. Her simple look is like a disguise"

Linus and Bernard laughed after hearing her. "Aunt Janet, you have learned a lot about my sister-in-law at your first meeting."

However, Elder Collins scoffed at Janet, "Who are you to judge her?" She never bothered to know about Alvin for many months to years, he just couldn't ignore her actions towards her child.

Janet was used to his taunts. She hadn't said a word to anybody when she went to the Matthews mansion and handed the baby to Casper. She had signed an agreement that she will never go to find Alvin so that their secret could be safe.

The teenage girl snickered while looking at her mobile, "It isn't like Narnia is lacking girls, why did he go behind the mother of a child? Does he have some kind of problem?" She sneered.

Everyone's expression darkened understanding what problem she was talking about.

Janet growled, "Shut up, go and sleep." She couldn't understand how Anya's son was so well behaved.

The teenage girl kicked the table in annoyance and went to the guest room.

At the Oasis mansion,

Alvin was leaning on the bed, reading a file while waiting for his Little Donut. He was thinking as she must have dozed off, there came the knocks on the door. He saw her peek inside before entering the room and closing the door.

He left the file aside, pondering about her mood. It was the first time she knocked and entered his room.

"Rest, if you are tired." He heard her soft mellow voice.

'What did the Little Chipmunk say to her?' He couldn't help but wonder about what must have happened in an hour.

Alvin silently waited for her to go near him and attacked. Anya cried out before breathing in relief, sitting on the bed next to Alvin, with her back against the bedpost.

Alvin turned to her, stacking the pillow to support his elbow, and leaned his head on his fist, just to face her. He covered her legs as he reasoned, "Keep yourself warm."

He wanted her to sit next to him, at the same time, to avoid her running away so he pulled her on the bed, away from the edge. Yet how could he reason with her? 'Shameless man.' Anya glared at him for giving her a heart attack.

Alvin brushed her hair with his fingers as he said in a low fruity tone, "I have no problem choosing a different method." He threatened her.

She flung his hand away as she kept the pillow between them. "Don't cross this." She didn't want any of his way to keep her warm.

Alvin tossed the pillow and pulled her much closer, "Look, who came closer." He deadpanned, being as unreasonable as he could be.

Anya tried to crawl away as she reasoned, "You pulled me."

"And you came." He played her with words.

Anya: "…"

She had the urge to bite him but controlled it. She crawled away to a comfortable distance and he tugged her closer.

"So why did Ms. Owen come looking for me in the bedroom on a breezy night?" He continued to confuse her with words while expecting her to complain or speak something about his mother.

Anya gritted her teeth hearing his words making her visit sound so sinful. She pointed to the door, "Let's talk in the study room."

He flirted in a most relaxed state seeing her trying to get away, "I will have to use my body to warm you."

Anya grabbed the pillow and hurled it in his face. "I won't talk to you anymore." She hissed imagining herself on his lap.

Alvin chuckled seeing her face turn pink. Tugging her back to sit, he asked, "Alright. Did Mrs. Wilson say something that is bothering you?" And he was bothered by her knocks on the door.

"Mrs. Wilson?" Anya sat down realizing Alvin doesn't treat Janet as his mother. "You… don't you address her mother?" She asked hesitantly.

The mischief on his face slowly turned serious as he responded, "Nope."

He was eight years old boy when Gianna had given him the address to his mother's place. Alvin had hopefully gone to her place, unwilling to stay in the Matthews mansion.

He just remembers saying, 'Mom, I am Alvin.'

Contrary to how excited he was, Janet had freaked out at the sight of him. She had scolded him, blamed him saying her life will be ruined because of him. She ordered him to never look for her. What was imprinted in his mind was, 'I am not your mother.'

Thus it was the first and last time he addressed Janet as 'Mom.' He allows Janet in the mansion because of Linus. He never bothered about Janet's concern and care which appears every few years once.

Alvin flicked on Anya's nose seeing her get sad for him. Rubbing her nose, Anya wasn't sure if she should get angry at Janet or speak for Janet and bring the mother and son close.

She crawled to his arms, surprising him. She hadn't reached out to Alvin because of Janet. She wanted to speak about what she got to know about him.

She could understand his stubbornness. He had everything that could be bought with money, but a family, family love, and warmth.

Alvin realized she was trying to comfort him. He was over it a long time ago, anyway, he took advantage of his silly Little Donut, "Goofball."

Anya suddenly sat, hiding her grin, "Are you settling in Narnia?" She excitedly asked, attempting to change the gloominess.

He wasn't expecting her to be happy about that. He deadpanned watching her eyes glowing for it. "That's a good word to summarize."

"Why?" She probed, to hear what she deduced.

Alvin became thoughtful as he responded seriously, "Narnia has good business opportunities and growth is quite stable. It's a good time to invest."

Anya: ??

"Ean can't keep traveling all the time. After all, it's our home country." He added with a straight face

Anya: ??

"Doing business in the home country is always beneficial. We easily got the new museum project from the administration."

Anya: ??

Faking a yawn to hide her stupid fantasies, "I am sleepy, I will go to bed. Good night."

She tried to leave but looked at him in disappointment. Did she expect too much?

Then why didn't he settle before her appearance in his life?

Grabbing a pillow, she started beating him as she whined, "Can't you include my name with it? You heartless man. I am stupid."

Alvin used his arm to block her strikes as he laughed. Her sparkling eyes were enough to say what she was expecting. When she knew the reason, why did she even bother asking?

Anya saw his hand reach out to her waist, she screamed trying to run, "Ahhh…"

Wrapping his arm around her waist, he tugged her to lean on his propped legs. Holding her quick hands, watching her pout, he asked patiently. "Do you think I am settling for a business?"

Anya pursed her lips and shook her head in decline, believing in herself, instead of his words.

"Do you think I am settling for you?" He probed.

He watched her eyes brighten at the question. Her smile was threatening to appear but she pressed her lips to a thin line. Then she faintly nodded as she sheepishly smiled.

Always hearing her say focus on work, stop following or worry about her, he hadn't expected she would actually get happy to know he was going to settle in there for her.

Even if it was going to be a lot of work, he felt it was worth seeing her delighted. Rather than voicing the response she was expecting, he dipped his head and caught her lips.
