Well, Anya was wrong. Alvin wasn't embarrassed to stop playing with her and he didn't care about the eyes. Rather he was stimulated by her delectable lips. Watching the soft curve of her lips, he was itching to claim them greedily.
His gaze shifted to the eyes that hid behind the shades. Her little naughtiness was pleasing but it was hard to control himself if she kept repeating.
"I would have thrown you over my shoulder, took you to your car. Then kiss those playful lips of yours until they are swollen and whimper my name in a daze. You will be confused whether you want me to kiss you or want me to do more." But his little enemy will run behind him to let go of his mother.
Anya swallowed hard hearing his husky deep voice tantalizing her nerves. She unawarely wet her lips for his words that reminded her of his toe-curling kisses. After hearing him, she could feel the tingling in her stomach in pure desire.
Anyway, she whispered, hiding her blush behind the shades, "Maybe more."
Whenever Alvin tried to get intimate, Zane always appeared. Though the thought of lovemaking makes her heart shudder, whatever he was doing to her body was intoxicating.
Wasn't he the one who started?
Why was it having a reverse effect?
She was seducing him. Wasn't she?
He caught her hand to take her car as the chauffeur could take Zane to the Oasis mansion but Anya tugged him back to her.
How could she leave her son alone without a word?
Anya responded to the question he asked, "For the same reason you are here for." She helplessly smiled to herself. She also wanted to help him with his work but knew nothing about business. How miserable!
Alvin was in an amazing mood for taking care of her work. Anyway, he countered her, for teasing him back, "You don't seem to be in a mood for that."
Whose fault was it?
"You just have too many admirers." She could see the look of disbelief on their faces. Although it didn't affect her enough, it still displeased her.
Rather than being jealous, she looked a bit grumpy for being judged by comparing to his looks. Alvin flicked on her cute nose and suggested, "Then we should quickly get married to show them that I am yours."
Anya bit her tongue to hide her smile. It was good to hear him say he was hers and funny to see him bring up the marriage as soon as he got the chance. She played along, "Oh, how quick is that?"
Alvin pretended to be thinking of days and responded, "In 60 minutes." He made it sound like there was a lot of time.
Anya: ??

She had expected him to say tomorrow at the minimum. 'An hour?' She could only sigh, "I might have accepted if it was a… month." Although she sounded like poking fun, she was serious about it.
Instead of going over the moon to celebrate, he bargained, "A week." After mentioning it, he wanted to say it as a day.
Forgetting they were in the public, Anya went to his embrace and chuckled looking at his impatient eyes. "How about… We go on a vacation and then get married."
She meant a family vacation during the Christmas holidays, which was just in a few weeks. In the meantime, she could ask Zane and her parents for their opinion. Her parents might still call it early but she was planning to tell them that Alvin was Zane's father.
Who goes on vacation and then gets married?
Alvin argued about that too. "Let's get married and go on a honeymoon." And that's the right order.
She was talking about vacation with their son and he was speaking about her honeymoon with her.
'Honeymoon!?' The liveliness on her petite face faltered, without knowing if she could even be a normal wife. She has to overcome her fear first.
The smile on her face cracked. She avoided the topic without discussing it with him, "Offer canceled."
Getting away from his arms, she knocked on the window of the car and got the attention of her son, "Baby, do you want to return with Alvin and complete your homework? If you join me, we will be late to the Oasis mansion." She didn't want him to disturb his sleep routine.
Zane wanted to help Anya. So he looked at Alvin in case they could help her and return soon. But Alvin just stared at Anya.
Due to his absence, he needs to catch up with the portions. "Momma, exams are nearing." He was an obedient kid.
Anya was aware of that. Her son was too sweet, unlike the ones who throw lots of tantrums. She nodded, caressing his cheek, "Momma will come back soon. If you have any doubts, you can ask Alvin."
Alvin could only sigh seeing her trying to keep her troubles to herself. Even if they get married, whether they go on a honeymoon or not, he will patiently wait for her.
They parted ways. One completed arranging the new house, the little one studied and the last one tried to complete all the urgent files, brushing off the fact that they erected a volcano in Gianna's life.

At the Matthews Mansion,
After an important meeting, Casper instructed Gianna's bodyguards to get her to the Matthews mansion and Gabriel Sallow to reach the mansion.
When Gianna stepped inside the mansion, she frowned, looking at Gabriel's bruised cheek, rumpled hair, unkempt outfit, and downcasted face with eyes of disbelief.
"What is going on?" She asked approaching Gabriel. Her eyes brushed over the bruises and his pathetic state, "Who did this to you?" There was anger in her tone for hurting her youngest brother.

Casper held himself back from strangling the woman who was his wife. Just a round of flexing by a bodyguard, Gabriel spit out everything he did to Anya and her son on Gianna's instruction.
Gabriel looked hatefully at his sister. The glorious days she lived brought them a good name and fame. Likewise, her wretched life was also affecting him and the Sallow family.
He asked through his teeth, "Why didn't you tell me that boy was the bastard's son?" He accused his sister as though he would have avoided troubling Anya and her son if he knew.
Gianna's expression changed drastically. She clearly deduced the situation and the person behind Gabriel's state.

She clenched her teeth and glared at Casper who was breathing heavily in anger. "Casper Matthews, why are you hurting my brother? Does the Sallow family look like a toy to you and your bastard son? Ask me if you have anything."
Casper rose from his seat to shut her audacious mouth. He always thought his one action to warn Anya to leave the city made Anya loathe them. He had assumed his second son hated him for pulling the investments and threatening Anya's life. but there was more happening behind his back.
His wife, the poisonous snake didn't only leave Alvin, she was behind every bloody person Alvin was close with. He might be cruel, but he never thought of hurting a child. May it be little Alvin or Alvin's son.
Harrison quickly blocked Casper from charging toward Gianna at the cost of his life. They were well aware Gianna needed one leverage, she would create a mountain out of a molehill.
"Gianna Sallow, you brought the destruction of the Sallow family. And wrecking your own life." What pissed him off was her action was putting the Matthews family's reputation at risk.
"You damned woman, how dare you hurt a Matthews?" Casper growled at Gianna and breathed heavily.
Gianna's face had turned darker than the coal. 'A Matthew!?' She never hurt Alvin physically. So the Matthews Casper meant was Zane Owen. It infuriated her.
She flung her handbag on the floor and bellowed at Casper. "He is not Matthews. I wouldn't let you bring him home Casper Matthews, even if I am destroyed, I won't let them retur…"
'Pak.'
Gianna's head was thrown aside when a sharp strike landed on her cheek. Her body shook violently as her eyes turned bloodshot. It wasn't Casper who hit her, then… Her eyes widened.
She turned to look at the old lady who had gracefully aged into her hoary. Cordelia Milton, the head lady of the Matthews family, mother of Casper Matthews. Cordelia had tried to reach Gianna over the past two days and discerned there was a problem in the family. She arrived when Gabriel was confessing everything.
Gianna froze looking into the eyes which used to be proud of her but those were looking at her in disappointment. She was planning to use the old lady in her favor but what was happening?
The old lady clutched the head of her cane and deepened her frowns. She clutched Gianna's arm and scorned her, "I thought you were a smart woman." She flung Gianna's hand away and went to sit on the couch with the help of a maid.
Gianna stared at her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law was also disgusted by Alvin. She only allowed him to stay and have the Matthews name because the Matthews blood was flowing in his veins. There wasn't a single day the old lady softened her heart for Alvin. Thus Gianna wasn't ready to see the old lady accept Alvin and his son.
Well, the old lady added maliciously, "If I knew, I would have brought that boy when he was a toddler." She clicked her tongue in disapproval of Gianna's actions. She started considering the possibility of bringing, more like kidnapping Zane to the Matthews family.
Harrison: "..."
Looks like the Matthews family had only one normal and lovely daughter-in-law, Liam Matthews's wife. The rest of the women are cunning, toxic, and manipulative. They thought of nothing but their advantage.
Anya Owen? She was more dangerous than everyone there.
