His Devious Rule
297 The Main Lead of the Drama
After playing all day, Zane returned home, happy and exhausted. Krystle always took a day to bring him out once a month. It might be playing games, watching movies, shopping or anything they choose together.
Both entered the villa, one flopped on the couch while the little one went to look for his mother, "Mommy… We are back… Mommy…"
Krystle hummed louder than Zane, "Annie…"
Zane poured water into the glass and brought it to Krystle who melted instantly. She sat up trying to embrace him but Zane avoided it. "That's not fair. Zane Baby never lets me cuddle…" She sulked, then she complained, "Annie… Look at your son." She tried her best to put on a sweet, miserable, cute expression on her face but Zane didn't melt for her.
Zane seriously suggested, "Godmom, you should eat more." Because she got exhausted soon but pushed herself to play. "My mommy is so strong."
Anya alighted the stairs hearing Krystle blame Alvin, "Alvin Matthews, why are making my sweet godson mean like you?"
Zane noticed Anya and ran over to her arms. "I missed you, Momma." Cuddling her son to make him warm, mother and son shared sometime making Krystle pout.
Krystle loved them. Sometimes looking at these two, she often craved for a baby of her own. But she knew not everyone will be like her adorable godson. Her friend was blessed with a boy who showed her what true love meant.
Anya kissed his chubby cheek and pointed upstairs, "There is a surprise for you in the guestroom. Go and take a look."
"Surprise!?" Krystle was louder than Zane who went upstairs. "I want to see…" Krystle scurried on her feet.
Anya wanted to say it was Linus's grandfather but she stopped as a sly smile appeared on her face. She silently followed Krystle and peeked inside the guest room.
Krystle, who skipped inside the room, stood confused looking at the old man on the bed with Zane next to him. She strongly felt like she had seen the old man on the news channels or in pictures, but couldn't put her finger on it.
Zane took the lead seeing them looking at each other, "GG, Godmom Krystle is mommy's best friend, Little Linus's girlfriend." He turned to Krystle and innocently introduced, "Godmom, GG is Little Linus's grandfather."
Krystle froze in utter shock. She imagined herself slipping on the floor and falling on her butt. Her breath stuck in her throat staring at the stern old man who wore his glasses to take a better look at her.
It was too early for her and Linus to speak of their parents. Linus had to meet her parents due to unavoidable circumstances. So she hadn't expected to meet Collins so soon.
What's more, she had heard of Elder Collins as a strict old military man who had a very disciplined life.
Her expression was stiff when she stood more gracefully like a lady. Crossing her arms around her bare waist, she tried to pull her crop top down which didn't work so she zipped her jacket.
Awkwardly smiling at the old man, "Hello, Elder Collins. I am Krystle Lewis." Her rigid voice was harder than a rock.
Anya silently giggled outside the room. It was funny to see Krystle, who was an expert at socializing, struggling to say anything. Elder Collins wasn't stern like he looked, so she didn't worry about Krystle.
Anya jumped when she felt a pinch on her waist. Alvin glared at Anya who invited Elder Collins and the latter shamelessly agreed with her.
"You are back!?" Anya whispered while her eyes glinted gleefully as she wrapped her arms around his waist, smiling sheepishly.
Elder Collins, who got to know there was only one guest room, had ordered Alvin to go back to his mansion. Alvin was displeased seeing another one sending him away from his Little Donut.
Alvin suddenly liked the Oasis mansion more than the cozy villa. He could have arranged the rooms for guests away from their rooms. Nobody would know if they sneaked into each other's room. And nobody would have asked him to leave.
Anyway, Alvin focused on different matters. He tugged her into her bedroom and locked the door for some privacy.
Anya recalled him saying he kissed her because of anger. She couldn't help but let her mind wander off. She asked hesitantly, with a hint of nervousness, "What… are you doing?" She has to prepare supper for all.
Alvin caught her cautious gaze and her legs which were positioned like she was about to escape if he tried to touch her. It was funny but he pretended to be baffled, "What are you thinking? Perverted Donut."
Anya's lips gaped hearing him and watched him sit on the armchair which was next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Did she just think of R-rated for closing the door?
'Anya Owen, you are unbelievable.' She followed him smacking herself.
Alvin held back his smile catching her silly act. There was only one armchair so she had to sit on the footstool and faced him.
Assuming she forgot about him while buying the armchair, He asked coldly with his tone filled with sarcasm, "Ms. Owen, did you forget you have a husband while buying a chair?"
'Husband?' Anya clenched her teeth and forced a smile on her face, "I don't have one." Hearing husband and wife, one day she would end up saying it before their marriage.
Grabbing the footstool, he pulled it until her knees touched the armchair as her eyes widened displaying her naughty thoughts. "No?" He asked.
Anya shook her head.
Alvin rested his elbows on his legs and went close to her. His low, deep voice floated to her ears, "Are you sure?"
Anya tried hard to look away from his lips. Was she ill? Why was her body feeling tense when he didn't even touch her? Even his eyes stared right into hers.
Her eyes went back and forth on his eyes and his pursed lips. Her voice was barely audible as a mischief curve appeared on her lips with those pretty dimples on her cheeks.
"When you don't let me use another armchair, wouldn't it be a waste of money to buy it?"
For instance, he wouldn't have been able to pull the armchair as the footstool. Would he have let her sit on a chair?
It was hard to focus on her eyes which were looking at his lips. His Goofball didn't even know she shouldn't casually look at a man's lips, much less stare at it.
But hearing her words, his lips uncontrollably curled into a sexy arc, making him look alluring.
Anya swallowed as she pressed his shoulders to make him lean back. Tugged his pant to make him cross his legs and pushed the stool away before she does something stupid with him. She could run away as soon as he drops his leg.
Alvin breathed slowly, glaring at the woman who was cupping her face and waiting for him to speak. His sexual tension was killing him without even getting intimate with her? Was it good? He found it hard. It was her sinless admiration. Argh, only if it was sinful.
'Let's not grab her neck today.' He calmed down and asked, "What's your plan for Casper?" His restrained voice sounded as he made himself comfortable on the chair.
He didn't want his plan to collide with her and ruin their efforts. To avoid Casper hurting Collins or Linus's business, he had a plan to play without affecting Anya's next mission at the university.
Anya briefed her coming plans. Alvin had no problem with it. So he put forward one of his plans, "Let's go to the Matthews mansion tomorrow." It was to pretend like Elder Collins was scared and Alvin was listening to Elder Collins.
Another reason was… Alvin reached out and flicked on her nose, "To show off the happiness."
Anya grinned at hearing him. "Cool."
'Knock… knock… knock…'
"Annie… Annie…" It was a loud happy tone of Krystle. "I am hungry… Babe…"
Anya had thought Elder Collins would make Krystle into a sweet delicate lady around him. "Err…" Looks like Krystle got another supporter to be crazy.
Although Elder Collins wholeheartedly supported Linus, he was waiting to see when Linus would understand earning was also required to live in this world. Thus Elder Collins was happy with Krystle before even meeting her. Because she was able to show the responsibility a man has to take, Linus was also thinking of his future.
—————
It was Sunday evening,
Even though Cordelia and Casper didn't want to prepare anything to welcome Alvin and Anya, they need to be on good behavior and be hospitable in front of the little lad.
Cordelia hummed in satisfaction looking at everything. Once Zane fancies them and the Matthews mansion, she could lure him away from the couple.
Whereas Gianna was fuming mad. She didn't know what was happening between Casper and those three, but Anya was doing what she said. She was coming to the Matthews mansion to make her suffer.
Secretary Harrison didn't have a good feeling about anything. It would be foolish to think Anya or Alvin feared Casper. Every past action of them was clear to say they were making the Matthews family dance on their fingers. The little kid was also included.
Casper was smug to notice it and Cordelia had become blinded by the obsession of the heir. Harrison wasn't sure how to tell them the reality.
A Rolls Royce phantom majestically came to a halt in front of the Matthews mansion. Cordelia watched Zane getting out of the car with a box of gifts and brightly grinned at her. "Great-grandma!!!"
Cordelia instantly softened to the adorable voice, "Oh my… Zane, come to great-grandma." She started her drama assuming she was in the lead role. In contrast, Zane and Alvin bumped their fists behind Anya. The main lead of the drama was the little one.
