Chapter 106
The moonlight was sparse, and when they got out of the car, the cool air blew away their exhaustion.
Zac helped her carry her luggage to her room.
When she went downstairs, she caught a glimpse of Anika sitting on the sofa and looked at her with his calm eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"When did you come back?"
He walked over to her and sat down.
"Half a day before you went back,” he said.
Anika paused for a moment and whispered, "You haven't contacted me for two days."
Her gentle voice carried a faint hint of complaint.
Zac noticed her depressed mood and pursed his lower lip, lightly kissing her forehead.
"I'm sorry, I was stuck in doing something on an ad hoc basis.I won't do it again the future” Zac said.
Anika buried her head in his arms and remained silent for a long time before reluctantly letting him go, "Then I'll go take a shower first."
"Okay” Zac replied softly.
He looked at her as she walked upstairs and frowned faintly.
Ever since she saw him, she had been more clingy than usual.
He knew very well that it wasn't just because she missed him.
The living room quieted down.
After a while, the phone rang.
Zac took the phone from the coffee table and pressed it to answer.
"Boss, Mr.Simmons’ flight will arrive at Misty Bridge tomorrow.’’
Hearing this, Zac lowered his eyelids and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Yes, I see.You can pick him up at the airport tomorrow.’
"Do you still need to notify Mr.Thomson?"
Zac looked at the tightly shut room on the second floor.
After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Not yet."
"Alright, I understand."
After explaining the matter to Frederick, Zac put down his phone and got up on the second floor.
After pushing open the door of the master bedroom, the room was pitch black.
He narrowed his eyebrows for a moment and looked around the room.
He discovered Anika, who was sitting silently beside the bed and wrapped in a bathrobe.
He sighed and stepped forward, "Anika, why are you there and not moving an inch? Why didn't you turn on the light?"
The man's voice suddenly rang out.
Only then did Anika recover from her daze and mutter, "Oh, I forgot.’’
Actually, it wasn't that she had forgotten, but that she had turned off the lights after taking a shower.
Anika always felt that her thoughts in the darkness would be clearer.
Zac could tell, but he didn't want to aggravate her more.
He then asked, "What are you thinking about? Tell me about it?"
"Uncle told you?"
"Yes."
He didn't deny it.
Anika took a deep breath and reached out to hug him, "Zac, these past two days I have been thinking, if I am not grandfather's granddaughter, not the daughter of my parents, then who am I?"
These two days alone, she felt as if she was at a loss in a dark maze, trying to get out, but she could not find the way out.
After hearing Scott say everything that day, Anika realized that the cognition she had built up with great difficulty might be shattered again.
After leaving the orphanage, the identity that she had accepted with great difficulty did not necessarily belong to her.
Zac touched her head and said slowly, "Up until now, you still haven't figured out your identity?"
"You are my wife, the beautiful Anika Meyer."
The man's voice was slightly hoarse, and then he said, "You have family and friends now, not just yourself"
"So, Nika, don't be afraid."
‘You're my wife, so, don't be afraid”
As his wife, she didn't need another identity.
Anika's eyes were slightly red, and she felt that his words seemed to have dispelled the fog that had troubled her for a long time.
At the end of the road, his figure appeared in front of her and firmly extended his hand towards her.
For some reason, she was clearly not sad, but her tears could not be stopped.
Her originally suspended heart seemed to have steadied itself. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Zac, don't you think I'm a little cowardly now?"
Her voice was muffled and her voice was very soft.
"Actually, in front of Uncle and Sara, I pretended to be very calm."
But she can't pretend to be calm and strong in front of him, like a bubble that burst at the touch of an eye.
Zac reached out and wiped her tears, "That means we are different."
"Different?"
"To some extent, everyone else is an outsider"
His pitch-black eyes flashed in the dim light, and his voice was serious.
"In this lifetime, you may have to be different from many people.Only I will accompany you until the end"
Anika broke into tears and laughed, "If you continue say things like that, then I will keep you"
After saying that, she paused, "Is my mentality wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, Anika Meyer, you are the most important person in this world."
Anika was stunned, as if there was an unspeakable emotion blocking her throat.
Suddenly, she choked up.
Perhaps, she had always been looking forward to having this selfish love, hoping that someone would tell her that she was the most important person in this world.
The next morning, Anika received a phone call from Scott, saying that Owen and Lucy had already brought people to the old mansion.
After Robert passed away, Anika gave Boris and Aunt May a sum of pension money, allowing the two of them to return to their hometowns, leaving the old mansion empty.
A few months later, when she stepped into the old mansion again, she already felt a little unfamiliar.
That's right, Anika had lived in the old mansion for less than three years.
When Zac and Anika walked into the living room, Scott and Lucy sat face to face.
Her second uncle, Oliver, and an unfamiliar middle-aged man with a boy sat on the other side and looked at Anika and Lucy.
The person sitting beside Owen was wearing a faded grey jacket.
His face was wrinkled and his hair was dyed red.
When he saw Anika, he revealed a smile.
His voice sounded very enthusiastic, "Nika, Uncle had finally seen you."
"Nika, this is your cousin and uncle."
Originally, he wanted to hold Anika’s hand, but Zac knitted his eyebrows and blocked him.
After realizing the identity of the person in front of him, Zac silently looked at Owen for a few moments.
He looked at Owen indifferently, "You said that this is Nika’s uncle.How can you prove it?"
"Her mother ran away with someone.Her father fell to his death while working at the construction site a few years ago.If President Hill has a heart, you can search for her mother who ran away after giving birth."
Owen's expression did not change.
Previously, Owen had also thought of letting this information out and using public opinion to force Anika to concede.
Unfortunately, they were all deleted, so he had no choice but to let it go.
Anika looked at the man named Chuck in front of her and shrunk her fingertips without saying anything.
Owen's words just now caused her heart to ripple.
However, she didn't know if the other party really had a blood relationship with her, but she felt that it was a bit strange.
Zac looked down at her and shook her hand.
He calmly sat down opposite Owen and chuckled.
"An Uncle who suddenly came out and said that he was related to Nika, but couldn't do a kinship test.Isn't this a bit too coincidental?" Zac said calmly.
When the little boy beside Chuck heard this, he glanced at Anika and whispered, "Isn't it because of this little bitch that she killed her own father?"
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a bang...
The transparent glass on the tea table scratched the corner of the boy's eyes and smashed into the wall behind him.
A loud noise erupted and it instantly shattered to the ground.
The boy was so frightened that his entire body was agitated.
When he met Zac's sinister and malicious eyes, his legs went soft and he fell to the ground, crying out loud.
His father only said that he would be able to buy a house if he recognized this cousin who had killed his uncle.
He didn't say that his cousin's husband would look so unpleasant and fierce.
Chuck was also shocked.
He pointed at Zac and said, "You, what do you think you are doing?!"
If that cup had smashed into his son's head just now, it would have definitely left a hole.
"If you don't know how to speak human language, I can teach you well."
Zac's eyes were unbridled, and his voice was as cold as ice.
"Now, get out of here." Chuck looked at Owen.
The other party was worried about Zac's identity.
He frowned and waved his hand coldly at the two of them, "Alright, you guys go first.Chuck didn't really want to find his niece, who had been missing for many years, but only came here when he saw that it was profitable.” Seeing Owen's attitude, he understood that the other party was not to be provoked, so he could only pull up his son who was crying on the ground and walk out.
"Zac, I'm fine"
Anika sighed, held Zac's arm, paused, and said softly, "You're so fierce now, I'm a little scared"
He was always loose and casual.
She had never seen Zac so angry.
Being stared at by her quietly, his expression gradually eased.
Anika then looked at Owen and said, "Since you're questioning my identity, I'm afraid it's not enough to find two people.There has to be some other evidence.’’
