"How sweet!" Leon said loudly as he takes pictures of the father and daughter duo on his phone. And tears are welling up in his eyes, he is so touch by how sweet and kind Anna is.
Anna is a total opposite of her brother. Her brother is not as sweet as her nor as kind as her. Aaron is more like a tyrant and a demanding person. Even for Leon, he is still having a hard time that Anna and Aaron came from in the same w.o.m.b and was born on the same day.
Irritated by the flashes on Leon"s phone, Arion glared at him. "Can you not interrupt my moment with my daughter, Leon?"
Arion specifically said to him that he wants to be alone with Anna earlier. Is it that hard for Leon to understand his words? Sometimes, Arion asks himself why did he took Leon under his care in the first place.
"But, boss! It"s just too touching! I can"t resist!" Leon started. "Can I join the hug too? You know, spread the love?" Just seeing his boss and Anna hugging each other, Leon has this urge to join them too.
"No. You are not allowed to join. If I were you I leave this place with Kyle." As long as Leon and Kyle are present, he can never be alone with his daughter. Leon kept inteferring with his moments with Anna, while Kyle kept on staring at Anna. With those kinds of distraction, Arion can never get his full attention on his loving daughter.
Seeing the interaction between Leon and her father, Anna chuckled. She never thought that being with Leon could bring so much fun. Leon is full of mysteries, and a tiny part of Anna"s heart wants to uncover that mystery. She wants to know the real Leon behind all that smile on his face.
She can tell that there is deep story behind Leon, but she willing to slowly let Leon open up to her. Even though Leon wouldn"t say it, Anna would like to repay back all the help he provided to her. She might not have said it out loud, but in her heart, she is very thankful that Leon entered her life.
"Leon." When he heard his name being called out, he stopped doing what he is currently doing and look at Anna"s direction. "Thank you," she said.
Seeing that smile on Anna"s face, Leon"s heart skipped a beat. His mind was blank for a moment, and didn"t know how respond to Anna. He"s in daze and Kyle noticed it.
"What are you thanking him for?" Leon heard Arion"s voice, and that"s when he snapped back to reality.
He runs straight towards Anna"s direction, and went in between the father and daughtet duo. He hugged Anna very tightly and emotionally said, "Anna! You"re such a sweetheart! You are the only person who has been so kind to me! You are so different from your brother, your father, and that annoying boyfriend of yours! Anna, I wish you will never change!"
Before Anna could even have the time to react, someone already pulled Leon away from her. "Don"t touch her like that!" Kyle angrily said.
Anna was surprised, Kyle was a little bit further away from them earlier and now he is in front of her. His actions were too fast that she couldn"t keep up.
Despite the look on his, Anna is somewhat happy to see clear jealousy from Kyle. The face that he is making says it all and there is no question about it. Kyle does care for her.
"Anna, help! Your boyfriend is going to kill me!" Leon said as he struggle to get away from Kyle"s grip.
"Boyfriend? Such nonsense! My daughter and that punk are not in that kind of relatios.h.i.+p!" Arion spoke firmly. As long as Anna doesn"t say anything, Arion will believe that Anna and Kyle are not in that stage. And of course, he will try and observe Kyle more closely to see if he is worthy for Anna.
Hearing that, Leon stopped struggling and looks at Anna with a surprised look on his face. "Wait. Are you being serious? You and this guy are not in that stage yet?" Turning his attention to Kyle, Leon continued, "wow. You sure work so slow."
For someone like Kyle who is handsome and isvery wealthy, Leon actually thought that Kyle will be able to make Anna say the magic word. But after hearing what his boss just said, Leon is now having doubts if Kyle can even ask a girl to be his girlfriend.
"If you keep this up, someone will take her away from you." Leon added and it only made Kyle much angrier than before. Without Leon saying it outloud, Kyle knew right away what he meant about him being slow.
It"s not like he doesn"t have the guts to ask Anna to be his girlfriend. It"s about Anna, Anna is not ready to give her love just yet. It"s obvious that Anna has feelings for him, but that doesn"t mean that she is ready to be in a relations.h.i.+p just yet. There is still fear inside that she cannot let go, and what Kyle is working on right now is to to get rid of that fear of hers.
"Someone like you? Heh. I don"t think so." The look on Leon"s face earlier really bothered Kyle very much, and worry is welling up inside him. Before Leon realize it, he has make it clear for Leon that Anna is off limits.
"And you think I will allow you to take Anna away?" Arion coldly asked. "Neigther of you is allowed to take my daughter away without my permission!" It may look like Arion is involving himself to some teenagers" argument, but for Arion he is only saying what he thinks and what he thinks must be followed.
"Daddy..." Anna called out her father with a smile. "Don"t pay too much attention to them. Let"s go home together, please?" Right at this moment, Kyle and Leon does not matter to her. What matters right now is bringing her father back home.
She wants to have her family be complete. She wants the whole world to know that her father is back and that her family going to be complete soon. It might take some time for that to happen since her mother and brother is ready to accept her father, but she will make it happen. She swears it.
"Don"t worry, Mary. The article that was about to reveal that your husband came back from the dead has been destroyed. But that doesn"t mean someone will not try to release that news again." Leonardo said casually as he picks up the tea cup Mary prepared for him.
"We must not let any articles about Arion be released. It"s not the right time for it yet." Mary said in a serious manner.
